Remember when 100,000 deaths were an "incalculable" loss?

It was "incalculable" on May 24th.
The loss of 250, 000 Americans as of Nov 18th is indescribable. Unfathomable. And mostly preventable.

1. Acceptable to 70 million Americans n/t

2. Trump really blew through his self-bestowed mulligan

Early on, Trump basically said the first 100,000 Covid-19 deaths were no big deal as he gave himself a mulligan for them. Well, we're at 250,000 Americans dead, and Trump can't be bothered in the least.

3. In the first few weeks, they made a typo one day.

Instead of 1800 or so, they out it up at 5000+. My heart sank, it seemed like so many. They fixed it, but geesh.

4. I just heard that it will be 300,000 by December 14

Criminal negligence at best - genocide at worst

5. Remember when 2606 dead at the WTC caused the U.S. to go to war

6. I remember the tRump campaign suggested calling up to 200k deaths a "win" way back then too.

A "win" they could manage politically.

7. Yes, his prediction of millions was a farce...

in order to protect him when thousands upon thousands died.

Hell, he could have said 10's of millions...it was all just to protect himself.
