[Liberty Belle]

3. Sobering and impressive to see all the names of those lost,

with no images, to drive home the tragedy.

[LakeArenal]

4. Yikes. Remember in Nov. GOOD vs EVIL

[gibraltar72]

5. I have called for this for quite a while. That is stark reality.

I hope other papers do the same thing. When they get them all listed. Add the newest. Then start over.

[grumpyduck]

6. Good for you, NYT.

Gawd, just seeing the page full of nothing but names gives me goosebumps.

[hlthe2b]

7. I gasped seeing that...

[TreasonousBastard]

8. Go ahead, tangerine pantload-- call THAT fake news.

[sop]

28. He'll claim he never mentioned the 100,000 number.

[procon]

9. That's a stark reminder of the real people and

families that have been impacted by the death of someone they loved. I am at a loss for words to understand why there isn't a vociferous outcry across the nation. Every other sort of tragedy, both large and small, is the leading story for days and weeks. No one is outraged by the growing deaths, but everyone is willing to spend countless worthless hours debating social distancing and personal safety masks.

Our priorities have become unhinged. The most dire loss of life we've ever experienced is not as important as giving a soapbox to idiots who care nothing about their own risks as they flaunt their so called trampled rights to be free of intellect and reason.

[PCIntern]

10. He wouldn't give a single shit if there were four more zeroes

You can take that to the bank.

[lastlib]

25. He does.

I'm sure.

(I wonder if Vladdy-Daddy pays by the body...... )

[Snackshack]

11. This is horrible.

The entire GOP is responsible for this. DT could not do this on his own. He has needed the GOP to cover / look the other way for him to do what he has done. The last two GOP administrations have caused more damage to this country then any enemy ever has. Their continued existence as a political party in a position to govern the United States of America needs to be seriously examined. This cannot continue, the country simply will not survive the continued incompetence (at best), malicious (at worst) actions of the GOP.

[BigmanPigman]

15. Ditto!

[lastlib]

26. We need to hang it like a 10-ton stone around every one of their wretched necks!

Call them the GOPOD--The "Greedy old Party of DEATH"!

[erronis]

33. They'll just rebrand themselves as "Patriots" or "Honorables" or maybe even pretend to be Democrats

in disguise.

Watch for Rove and Gingrich and other operatives to be doing some new messaging.

Watch for the same moneybags/plutocrats to be funding this operation.

And the purpose will always be to destroy the right of the citizens of the US to have a equal vote in their future. Not a vote based on wealth or a denial of a vote based on gerrymandering, limiting access, and outright GOP fraud.

[badhair77]

12. Sobering. Can't get away from reality with that page,

but very appropriate.

[Cha]

13. KR!

[sarge43]

14. Every one of them was someone's child.

[UpInArms]

16. 1,000 names ... from a list of 100,000 ....

Heartbreaking

[BlancheSplanchnik]

17. 💔. An apocalyptic American tragedy.

Thank you NY Times, this shakes me to my soul. 😪

[Blue_true]

18. I believe it is safe to conclude that at a minimum, this will be the

second deadliest virus in USA history. It will take that title due to incompetent national leadership.

I also believe that I am safe in saying that if Trump was president when H1N1 struck the USA, the death toll would have been far, far, far in excess of ~12,900 people. Trump is searingly incompetent, he forces sycophants to take actions and he takes NO responsibility when things go wrong.

[KSNY]

19. ...and it is not over yet

[47of74]

20. When Fuckopotomus is out of office and in prison

The US government should seize one of his golf courses and put a memorial naming every American who has died or who will die from the pandemic, along with their age and race.

[Paladin]

21. The NYT, still managing to show some guts. Well done. (nt)

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

22. Trump's the media being the enemy of the people

is wearing thin now, and people's tolerance to Trump's thin skinned shenanigan's is not out weighed by his obesity. Only the best words .

[warmfeet]

23. What do we have to lose?

Our lives, apparently.

Vote for Joe, if you want to live.

[dalton99a]

24. Kick

[kpete]

30. Stole your pic

40. "Continued on page 12"

[aggiesal]

27. As Trump said during his Republican Convention acceptance speech ...

“... The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its citizens. Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead.“
Full transcript here

Probably the only time I’ve ever agreed with him!

[sop]

29. Was that before or after the crowd started chanting "Lock Her Up!"?

[aggiesal]

36. Nope, right near the beginning of the speech. ...

The ads just write themselves.

[djacq]

31. But HE went Golfing!

[smirkymonkey]

34. K&R

I can't even bear to go on Twitter anymore. The assholes who still support and defend him just enrage me.

[Tommymac]

35. Godspeed to All of You

[Jarqui]

37. Next Press Conference

Media: "Mr President, the front page of the New York Times of May 24, 2020 reported on the nearly 100,000 dead by posting many of their names. Would you call that 'fake news'?"

[kpete]

41. Brace yourself for the onslaught of Butwhataboutisms

the false equivalency unrelated death tolls that are touted to undermine Covid-19 deaths
