Notice that the Glorious Leader, on whose watch this happened, only issued a statement regurgitating his vomit of four years of rants.

On Day 22 of Biden's presidency I read a comment from a right winger in which he complained that things seemed to be getting worse. 3 freakin' weeks! And yet the same people can't see anything T**** did wrong.

I dwell a bit over how Fox "News" slants their coverage. After a year of denial and resistance to masks, celebrating mass gathering such at churches & Dear Leader Loyalty Rallies, giving a platform to insanity about hoax/coverup/5G/hydroxychloroquine, here's is how Crooked Donnie's one apologists explain how we went from "zero cases soon" to 500,000 in one year under is "leadership":

Harrison: Without Trump admin's work, US could have lost 'millions of lives'The premise, I assume, is the hypothetical "do nothing" scenario the CDS created as a baseline for the efficacy of various mitigations. But would Americans have "done nothing"? Of course not. We would have altered our behavior. According to my calculations, if the federal government had done absolutely nothing whatsoever, we'd have 500,000 deaths in one year.

Thank you Doktor Zoom for treating the sad moment with great respect. I too am an old who lost a love and carry on with a wound in my spirit.

At this time and place I lay down my metaphorical and rhetorical sword and shield, kneel down beside you and remember the LOVE.

There is such a stark contrast in our candidates versus theirs in (most notably) the last two elections. I don't know what people think they stand to gain by being such mendacious, shitty humans - hell, you can even be kind for selfish reasons if you choose - it makes life so much better to just not be a dishonest, assholish, shitheel for everyone involved.

There's OHJB, doing what a President is supposed to do. What a welcome change. But it's a cruel occasion.

Thank you. You nailed it. Just started reading Joel Stein's book in defense of expertise. We have long battle ahead against stupidity.

Fake News needs to be shut down.

The fairness doctrine was as good thing. There's no reason it should be legal to run a 24 hour propaganda outlet.. especially when they've graduated past that to straight up disinformation.

I didn't ask. If she thought that Trump was an outstanding president, I'm not really interested in why she thinks Biden is so bad.

And they died alone. No loved ones at bedside.
