(27,762 posts)I have often wanted to challenge someone how four deaths at Benghazi balanced out with those at the World Trade Center.

(53,477 posts)normally on bar graphs like this the lesser amounts are the shortest bars. At first glance the blue bars of the Obama administration seem to indicate the most deaths by far.
God!

The height of the bars might indicate the intensity of fake outrage amongst Republicans.

(6,648 posts)That means the numbers are from the White House. It doesn't mean the graph is.
I'm in agreement that it's a satirical graph, possibly even designed to tempt *Trump to retweet widely. Some people will get it.

Never mind that it killed around 950 per month, and this is killing 1,000-2,000 per day.
I could not find a reference for the single highest death day for H1N1 2009-2010.
But since 12,480 died in 13 months, it's most unlikely there was a week that accounted for the 9,000 deaths from CV19 this week.
Kind of tangential. I did enjoy this fun chart. Just couldn't resist chiming in.

Surely that would be as tall as Benghazi.

(2,356 posts)What a maroon current WH and Faux.
And now, yes, picture worth 1,000,000 lies.
To think that this graph was actually executed this way ON PURPOSE and thereby meant to deceive any sentient being, even to the point of trying to miniaturize the Trump number (off scale of course). Orwell's wet dream, this MF45 et cabal!

(200 posts)It would be really useful if it were based on the number of mentions, hours of congressional investigation, or some other real quantity.

Now, the peeResident of the US4Sale has made the WH into a real .com.
