    I stand by every word.  But I refuse to contribute to a website that considers banning free speech.  And for the record, I was merely defending my country, not my president.  I also still believe that your camera reviews are some of the finest and most objective out there.  
    Hope you are able to get home soon.  This too shall pass.

    I assume when you say chief investor you mean controlling shareholder.  Please give me a link to his name and statement, and I will not bother you again. 
    Let me be clear that our media in the United States hates Trump with a passion.  They have been caught quite a few times either twisting the truth, or completely fabricating an entire story.  This CureVac article is a serious accusation that has clearly angered an an entire nation, and it needs to be proven either way.  If the truth comes out that Trump made this specific offer to CureVac, then I will return and apologize for wasting everyone's time.  "Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities".  - Voltaire

    Dear EphariamP:
    You stated the following in your post:
    "Sorry, but you are wrong here. 62,984,828 people voted for Trump, vs 65,853,514 for Clinton, so nearly 3 million more voted for Clinton. Why isn't SHE president? Thank our regressive electoral college system put in place by aristocratic southern slaveholders."
    You do not understand the origins of the US Constitution.  During the Constitutional Convention of 1787 one of the biggest hurdles to overcome was that the small states were concerned about being dominated by the large states.  To get agreement amongst the 13 states they agreed to the following:
    Bicarmal legislature with the lower house (House of Representatives) to be proportional to the population and an upper house (Senate) where each state would have two senators. That the President would be determined by the majority of electors.  With each state having a number of electors equal to the number of members in the House of Representatives plus two Senators. You made the statement that our "electoral college systems was put in place by aristocratic southern slave owners".  But who were the large states of the day: New York(non-slave), Pennsylvania(non-slave), Massachusetts (non-slave), Virginia(slave), and  North Carolina(slave).  And the small states were: New Jersey (non-slave), Connecticut (non-slave), Rhode Island (non-slave), Vermont (non-slave), and Maine (non-slave).
    As you can see, it was the small, non-slave states that wanted what has become known as the Connecticut or the Great Compromise not the "aristocratic southern slaveholders" as you asserted.
    When you make statements like this it important to get your facts correct.
    Let the revisionists begin with their flaming and possible banning from the this site.  Regardless, I don't care. Just want to make sure that the history is correct.
    Sincerely,
    Don

    I agree with many things Trump does and disagree with many others. Anyone who completely agrees or disagrees with anyone, including God, is probably a Communist, not because he doesn't have opinions, but because there is an absolute ban on expressing any opinion, not in complete compliance with the dictats of the top leadership. 
    This post almost seems like it's right out of Communist China or USSR under Stalin or Lenin or Germany under Hitler.
    In any civil world, one can Agree to Agree or Agree to Disagree, and both choices are respected. Lack of choice is the foundation of Communism, whether disguised as hard left, or modern age liberals trolling anyone and everyone on social media and in public, even their own brethren, if opinions aren't expressed by an exact expression of phrases and words, including calling everyone else in disagreement with themselves (including non radical liberals) as fascists and racists and evil and (ironically) intolerant and other names.   
    If the whole purpose of this post is about politics, maybe politics should be kept out of discussions here. Or dedicate a thread to political discussions (if political discussion can ever be called that).
    Ban me or ban whoever you want. There is a huge chance that many of us won't make it past a few weeks from now, thanks to a China created and criminally and negligently spread virus. So it probably won't even matter.

    @Andrew Reid Instead of creating a list and banning people who don't have the same behavior, characters, and values as you.....how about you have a blanket ban against all political discussion?

    Chose not to believe what?  I see no name, no statement, and no witnesses.  Until there is clear evidence that any of this happened, neither one of us is in any position to call it true or false.  And let me ask you.  If this is such a huge story, then why are CNN, NBC, MSNBC and the CBC not running it?  Normally these outlets would use a story like this to crucify Trump, but I can't find it anywhere.  Doesn't that sound suspicious to you?

    Where did you read that the former CEO rejected a specific deal?  The German newspaper claims that the source of this story was anonymous.  In other words, they have no proof.  Please cite your source that actually names anyone from CureVac as the accuser.  I can't find a name anywhere.

    Yes, I understand.  I have the same problem with many other outlets, and I can't stand politics.
    The truth may be exposed when we figure out why this CureVac CEO is on "medical leave" all of a sudden.  CureVac swapped their new CEO with their old one not long before this controversy happened.  Stay tuned!
