    You have got to admire this lame duck president. Every time there is a situation that requires identifying right from wrong he manages to make this identification.

    A shame he always chooses wrong.

    Your support for endless wars and the horrific suffering and death they bring to so many Americans and others around the globe is touching. :cheers:

    240,000+ Americans have died from Trump's inability to act on what matters - I wonder how many more Americans and innocent people would die because he is in a hurry to leave these areas for terrorist organizations without ensuring there is a proper structure behind to oppose them. Sad.

    Oh, so Trump is responsible for all 240K? Good to know.

    I am projecting to the end of his term + whatever it takes to tail it off until responsible government can properly implement measures against it. There is a good chance it is an under-estimate.

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...han-double-to-410000-by-january-idUSKBN25V2A7

    Let's take Canada which dealt with this a lot more reasonably, with a 1/3 of the deaths per capita of the USA - at this point we would have had 80,000 deaths instead of 240,000 - if this article's estimate of 400K by the end of the year, the difference between the USA and Canada would have been 250K+ - just around my estimate.

    So you must be pissed at Trump for all the deaths he's caused Americans this year. Right? Right?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    @MARIS61 believes it's nothing more than a flu, but 250 million people would have died if anyone else had been President, so Trump saved over 249 million people.

    And the ~quarter of a million people who died are just fake numbers anyway. And anyone who did die (which is probably no one, since it went away like magic) are just suckers and losers anyway.

    One of the few funny things about Trump's presidency is watching his supporters try to mangle all his contradictory lies into one incoherent narrative.

    I hope this doesn't cause unrest in the East.

    His handling of the situation and his message to those who actually believe whatever he says has cost at least 100k more than needed to. Is that a more tolerable number for you?

    Idiotic post.

    POTUS TRUMP'S quick action taken to restrict travel from China in January likely saved over 2 Million American lives, according to Dr. Fauci.

    Under POTUS TRUMP'S orders dating back to 2017, our military has been preparing for a safe, orderly, nearly total withdrawal of troops from the Middle East.

    Unless some Deep State Generals disobeyed the Commander in Chief, we're in good shape.

    CDC says only 6% (15,000) of those died from COVID-19.

    The other 94% (235,000) died of other causes as they would have anyway, with no evidence that COVID-19 played any part in their deaths.

    They simply tested positive for COVID-19 antibodies after death.

    That of course is nonsense. Here's the reality.

    Lemmings find it hard to adhere to the truth when they are jumping of a cliff to follow he who must be orange.
