Some hard truths for everybody

threadreaderapp

Imagine if 250,000 people had died in a war over the past 7 months & there were predictions another 200,000 would die in the next four months. And the Commander-in-Chief had abandoned his post, just walked away. (After greatly contributing to the losses we'd already incurred.)  

Hard to fathom, right? In part that's because we have never lost that many people in a war. (We've already lost more people than the 218K total combat deaths in the Civil War, we'll pass the 291K lost in four years of World War II in a month or two.)  

In part, it's hard to fathom because we have never had a leader so craven, so incompetent, so uncaring about the America people, so irresponsible in his dereliction of duty, as Donald Trump.  

Note: If we hit the U. of Wash. projection of 511K dead by Feb 28, that will amount to more than 1300 people dead every day or, roughly, more than one 9/11 every 3 days...for a year. Remember the sharp stabbing pain of 9/11? And the president wants us to imagine this is nothing.  

Imagine if 250,000 people had died in a war over the past 7 months & there were predictions another 200,000 would die in the next four months.

I would imagine that we would hit back with everything we had. Unfortunately China & Wall Street have their man waiting in the wings, unfortunately for them the radical left wants to call the shots.

"The pandemic was God's gift to the left"....Jane Fonda

We - all Americans - still cannot assimilate a simple but monstrous fact:

Trump does not care how many Americans die.

He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. He does not care. 

According to y'all, Trump is corrupt, incompetent, uncaring, and unfit to be president. So how in world do you expect him to make over half the country pay an attention to him?. As is usual, nothing you say is true

Two things have happened on his watch...vaccines and antibodies have been produced by the Trump team, and will be distributed before long. The Democrats have contributed confusion and stymied efforts to bring financial aid to citizens and small business by continuing to push Progressive Pork List Two as a bloated relief bill.

Biden and the Dem Dummies will receive no credit about ending the pandemic when their only goal has been to resist and blame. Good luck in the midterms.

Ummmmm.......... Greg...

Do you understand that you are arguing that Trump cannot be blamed for doing nothing because... he is... incompetent...? 

According to y'all, Trump is corrupt, incompetent, uncaring, and unfit to be president. So how in world do you expect him to make over half the country pay an attention to him?.

He got over 70 million Americans to vote for him despite his incompetence, he has a willing albeit demonstrably stupid base of millions who would have listened if he had just chosen to set the example and tell the American people the truth about the virus. Instead he chose to try and hide and run out the clock telling his base that the virus was a hoax while behind their backs he was admitting how dangerous the virus was to a journalist and a small group of Wall Street investors.

Two things have happened on his watch...vaccines and antibodies have been produced by the Trump lead team, and will be distributed before long.

I see you left out the quarter of a million Americans who have died on his watch after Donald downplayed the threat and told people the virus would just disappear like a miracle.

It's sad to watch some just wallow in lie after lie but apparently that doesn't bother the average Trump sycophant, apparently their heads are stuffed so far up Trumps ass they can only regurgitate his completely bogus talking points that have zero foundation in reality.

One very simple question for you. When people were told how dangerous this potentially was, why didn't they stay the hell at home??

And of the 250K that have perished, how many of them did? Except for the massive amounts of deaths in extended care facilities, how did they get it? They or someone in their family/close circle of friends went out somewhere and decided to share it.

Why oh why do/did you and millions of others wait for GovCo to tell you what to do? Common sense and true concern would rule the day if you truly were concerned about other's health and especially your own. 

I know how I reacted. I stayed home as much as possible with only needed trips to the pharmacy and or to pick up groceries and buy gas. Other than that, only to and from work. 20 out of 26 of the people in my office opted to work from home back in April.......under management request, for 8 weeks. No one I knew or know going forward contracted the disease........until my wife got back after flying to Indiana for her last visit with my FIL while he was still alive three weeks ago. (He, a week later passed away by his own choice. Cited quality of life. He was fed up doing home dialysis for one thing and he was 84 years old). And I got it from her luckily with no symptoms. She suffered only loss of smell and taste and was tired all the time.

So take care of yourself and hopefully the rest will fall in line. I guess in other words, it's one's own choice to venture into harms way with even the slightest inkling that there is danger out there.

Again, if you don't want it,  stay the hell at home as best you can.

Next week or so will tell a tale with Thanksgiving travel that millions will still participate in. As well as the dinner itself.

Well said. The only people I know that caught it was my aunt, uncle, and cousin [all in the same household]. My aunt works in a hospital and she caught it and brought it home. That was early on... in March / April.

It’s almost as if it goes beyond not caring if people die, all the way to hoping that people die.  Especially those who have nothing to offer him personally.

From a "utilitarian" point of view, most Covid victims are dispensable. The economy might be better if all retired people died. 

That would be good for the DOW. 

It did carelessly get nicknamed the “boomer remover” early on.

Another hit piece- what a surprise.

The left had better buckle up; and Biden had better find a good spot in the White House basement to hide. We have learned a lot watching the lefts' bullshit over the last 5 years; time to put that into practice.

But by all means keep up the hate- it will make things that much easier for the rest of us.

And another "fact" that brings back not so fond memories. Once again the left coast of California, the liberal bastion of Illinois, and New York showed Biden with a 5,066,276 more votes than Trump in California. New York, 1million, Illinois, ditto. And he lost overall by 5.94 million. do the math and we will see a repeat, popular vote wise, of 2016

This time he got the EC by all accounts but...............................
