"I take the Civil War as a guide - 500,000 dead!1"

[UTUSN]

Yip, he's doing comparisons of other death tolls from historical events his flying monkeys have researched with his. And he thinks it's in his favor.

1. we fought the civil war to get rid of people like him and his. irony escapes him nt

[zonkers]

2. How can invoking the civil war not be a dog whistle to his minions.

[TreadSoftly]

5. i agree - might as well fly the confed flag maybe that is next (nt)

[Jamastiene]

3. Head meet desk.

Why do we have to suffer through these idiots? They are holding us back as a species and holding us back when it comes to reaching any level above barely civilized at all.

[malaise]

4. Which is why he calls himself a war president

He is fucking sick - see only X of you died - if it wasn't for me, it would be 1.2 million dead.

He was in full campaign mode tonight - people love me and I'll be winning in a landslide.
Williams and McCaskill have a good discussion going - they're mocking his BS.

[gratuitous]

6. Another self-bestowed mulligan?

He's already absolved himself of all responsibility for the first 100,000 deaths. Now he'd like a do-over for the first half million Americans to die on his watch?

[unblock]

7. moving the goalposts yet again....

[The Magistrate]

8. About Six Millions, Sir, Allowing For Population Size

We have about ten times as many people now as then, and most sources give something north of 600,000 men dead. Most, in fact, from disease --- a couple of days hard combat was generally less lethal than a winter in camp.
