    Tens of thousands more died because of the Trump administration’s lack of organization & leadership early on during the pandemic. From failing to properly prepare the U.S. for what was to come to iterating inaccurate information to the general public during a time of national crisis.

    I mean there’s a reason why COVID infections, death rates, etc. were higher in strong Republican areas for years. Trump (& later other Republican elites) downplayed the virus, questioned masking (which pre-omicron was effective), questioned vaccine effectiveness which was the one thing the Trump admin actually could take credit in, etc.

    Nobody is suggesting that any president could have thwarted every COVID death. A president that was competent absolutely would have done a better job at preparing the country, working with state & local govs, providing the public with accurate information, etc. & less people would have died as a result.

    it’s also incredibly dumb to suggest that @DKC trolling on a hip-hop forum is somehow equivalent to the president of the U.S. spewing dangerous misinformation to the American public during a national emergency. Beyond f---ing dumb.

    A few passages from Bob Woodward’s book “Rage.”

    The Trump administration literally had a playbook on how to respond to such a pandemic & they still dropped the ball.

    Tbh, I wonder if his pandemic response was really that bad considering the goal wasn't saving lives but keeping his base happy, who would prefer to kick the bucket over acting like an adult. If he didn't turn it political, they might've just went along but on the other hand, anti-vax s--- is older than MAGA and there is likely a huge correlation, and they could've turn on him too. Seeing that none of them care now, it wasn't that bad.

    The ruling class also loves a good ole mass death event that majorly affects the unproductive masses (disabled/elderly/lumpen) but people aren’t ready for that lol

    How are you backward cubts still talking about the c
    Vaccine? It's not hot topic anymore unless you got 8 boosters and jabbed a few times and now have higher heart rate fromt he side affects. Otherwise it's dead.

    The only reason I care about covid now is because my state had the least harsh laws and now everyone from your fuckwit country is migrating to live here for extra freedom, not knowing they are arrogant f---ing idiots and unlikable. (White people from your country btw) i've met one who wasn't a completely unsefferable c----. The other 100 odd was like "yeah well me, yeah well my country" bores everyone to death and usually screams violently and has a panic attack over a f---in spider

    @pluto✰

    Masks worked... I know because you are 6 times more likely to die of Covid in Florida than you are in Japan.

    Why do you think that is?

    In 2009 I had a HTC Diamond Touch (windows mobile) then a Motorola Droid (android).

    I've had smart phones since 2005 (palm treo first, then various windows phones).

    And twitter was around in 2009... I used it to follow comedians.... not schizophrenic grifters like you have been doing.

    "Trump didn't wear a mask haha *drools on keyboard* jajajajaj"

    Did you nonce not know nearly every had places and people that didn't do that s---?? Even when I was forced to wear a mask "legally" I didn't. I never got the vaccine and I've had covid 4 times. No issue. "Oh your healthy!" Fucken hardly. I'm just not gonna sit and say I'm some health god and this virus was as bad as we were told. It's all bs. Flu 3.7.1005 or whatever. Just garbage unless you inhale tobacco,sugar,processed food,alcohol,drugs regularly. Probs give ya a rough time. Just shut up lol covids not real

    Imagine being told by someone overweight you need a vaccine to survive when they need an oxygen tank to survive an altitude higher than 1000m.

    If anyone was wondering why this guy had more posts than likes before he started liking his own posts on an alt, this just about sums it up.

    They might be not overly concerned if they die but these are still consumers, and the more the better.

    One of @pluto✰ 's many crazy, crazy, crazy QANON diatribes (masks k--- you because there are worms in them, everyone is who took the vaccine are going to become Marburg virus zombies on a specific day), was that there was no virus and covid19 was a psyop to make unemployment 50%...

    I told him that was really stupid because Americans were at an all time high of.production to compensation.... and the powers that be loved that and were trying to avoid that change and they just wanted the virus to go away.

    Now covid19 went from pandemic to endemic and unemployment is at 60 year low.


    I wonder if he will admit that the government wasn't trying to make 50% unemployment.... and that there weren't worms in masks... and that the majority of the human population didn't all get the Marburg virus at the same hour.

    Why do you even put so much effort into debating and trying to prove wrong a brain dead moron like Jet? You’re just expending pointless energy and it really doesn’t do you any favours buddy.
