    I just took a test yesterday due to one of my co workers reporting his positive results. That swab placed up your nose is totally strange and the effect lasted hours.

    Get that derby and a knife and fork ready...we get some most every year. Granted, it's in the northern 1/2 of the state but we do get the white stuff sometimes.

    Now, if you wanna get a good laugh, come to Georgia and watch us TRY to drive in the snow.

    Accountable would be fair to say, responsible no.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Accountable generally means responsible:

    1. (of a person, organization, or institution) required or expected to justify actions or decisions; responsible.

    He didn't literally kill a bunch of people, but he worsened the effects of the pandemic by downplaying the virus and the most reasonable remedies, leading lots of his supporters to also ignore safeguards. Worsening the effects means more people sick than otherwise and more people dead than otherwise. Reasonable minds can place how many extra people died at different amounts, but I think it's pretty hard to argue against the idea that Trump's handling of the pandemic has resulted in more people dead than had to die--I'd call him responsible for those extra deaths.

    Well we got zero vaccines now, so at least it’s a step in the right direction!

    When he said it would go away, go away by a miracle, that capped his title of Presidential Bull shitter. Those MAGA caps that people wear reading "No More Bullshit" proved how feeble minded his base is. Finally, all those that voted for him, never researched who he really was, a grifter dedicated for himself.

    Why no responsibility? That guy has done very little to make the situation better and is doing ZERO since he lost the election. No leadership and worst president in history.

    Evidently some of Trumps defenders have never heard of "depraved indifference".

    ...what a pity.

    Sorry I consider Bush who led us to war in Iraq after "Weapons of Mass Destruction" to be worse. 600K lives lost that he's responsible for, took the action to cause, based on a known false pretense.

    Umm, his "actions" were based on bad intel by the military & not Depraved indifference"...but hey, at least you didn't bring up Hillary Clinton.

    The correlation/analogy that you presented is myopic to say the least.

    Trump supporters typically don't deal well with facts.

    ...and when presented with them they either deny them, or deflect from them, or they simply get pissed off.

    No obviously. But this is not some black and white situation. I've never voted for him fwiw.
