Think you’re the one that refuses to admit because politics
I’ll leave it there cause politics cloud the facts

Respectfully Jerseygirl I think if the political parties had been reversed, you might see the obvious.

Covid first noticed on the other side of the country end of 2019. Depending on who you are and how you count that might be considered Dec 2019 or perhaps earlier. Seattle airports were shutdown for a time, but not too long because "trade".

By that time real numbers are hitting the East Coast, in specific NY and NJ. Italy the country is starting to be a disaster area and was one of the hardest hit for Italy reasons. In contrast with Germany who did very well all things considered due to their robust universal healthcare system and more hospital capacity than surrounding European countries.

I consider the hybrid AL and SNF facility I was in, locked down in February 2020 although officially it may have been March. Trump wanted to punish all governors who don't grovel to him for PPE supplies and other things. It was heck and our facility had to rely on the kindness of local police depts etc. because DJT wanted to hoard for his immediate family and political favors from governors in his party. MO. But much evidence to back that up.

For now I'll skip ahead, it wasn't until summer or fall sometime 2020 that Covid was even in numbers to track on all states!

Trump becomes a lame duck President in Nov 2020 after losing the election
Biden does not assume office until roughly jan 21, 2021. trump refuses to hand off certain things during the 100 day handover period, and biden's administration starts behing the eight ball because DJT is a petty bitter man.

And in my opinion, the Covid times did not really normalize until the end of 2023, so yeah with more than 2 to 3 times more calendar days for BIden to deal with and the entire country already exposed, unlike DJT, it would be shocking if BIden's administration had fewer deaths as no way would DJT have pulled a New Zealand or even a China response.

Trump was spouting nonsense.

He was given notes on what he had to say..... and then decided to ad lib from whatever came in to his head.

You had the right people in place and they succeeded not because of him.... but in spite of him.


He also damaged the efforts of the WHO to provide for poorer countries ... which just blurrrgh.

You must not be aware that 50+% of repo-cons initially avoided vaccinations. So those deaths under Biden were mostly those folks that were anti-vax. As they watched friends and loved ones die due to stupidity they started getting the ‘jab’. Many still haven’t because they are idiots.

Yes I know that very sad statistic
Very stupid people

Very stupid president (trump) for speaking about stuff (as president) he had no idea about during the pandemic. And then people stopped wearing masks. Ergo, the high death count.

Even as the COVID-19 pandemic touched nearly every corner of the planet, wearing a mask remained a highly politicized topic in the lead-up to the 2020 U.S. election. During an Oct. 15, 2020, town hall broadcast by NBC, U.S. President Donald Trump pushed inaccurate information that questioned the efficacy of wearing masks, despite leading health authorities' recommendations.

When asked about his wavering responses to the idea of wearing a mask, Trump responded:

“But as far as the mask is concerned, I’m good with masks. I’m okay with masks. I tell people, wear a mask. But just the other day, they came out with a statement that 85% of the people that wear masks catch it.”

Trump got the government out of the way but the real people who deserve credit are all those people who were already working on corona vaccines, who were already doing mRNA vaccine research and were finally able to get a blank government check that allowed them to launch the research to where it needed to go to create the COVID vaccines.

Trump had very little to actually do it with.  I'd say the same about Biden.

Instead I like to say think of this next time "you" bitch about how people playing with fruit flies in academia ivory towers are a waste of tax dollars.  With out people who play with fruit flies and mice for a living you wouldn't have a vaccine.

This was a miracle of science and people STILL refused to get it because of the conservative mouth pieces turning it into a giant ass conspiracy.  Trump and his cronies were a part of that you cannot argue the Republicans made a huge case for NOT getting it and people followed as a sign of loyalty.  The statistics bear out that conservative voters are far far less likely to have gotten the vaccine.

He convinced a shit load of stupid people to eat aquarium cleaner (hydroquinone) and horse dewormer as an alternative the vaccine.  He on national television asked if there was a way that we could do something like inject Lysol/sanitizer directly into people.

He caused a dramatic uptick in racial crimes against Asian people due to his regular use of "Kung flu" and "Ch*ina flu"

At every turn he hindered the CDC and openly mocked Fauci.  

So excuse me that I do not hail him as a hero regarding COVID.  Considering the same stepping aside and handing out blank checks has been done research wise for Ebola, HIV and Zika just to name three I don't believe Trump being in office was any real contribution to it.  It would have happened on it's own accord eventually.

A broken clock can be right twice a day that doesn't mean I want it to be president.

this! and those working in commercial manufacturing that did the heavy lifting in mass producing the vaxxes once approved. I have more than a few former colleagues that work for Moderna in that arena, and there were some long weeks at the plants. one of the sites in my scope for vial fills (NOT any of the vax flavors) bumped us in the schedule I don't know how many times b/c there were vax fills taking our slots. we almost had to reach out to the FDA to intervene b/c we were at risk of stocking out of our lifesaving medicine due to these scheduling changes. it was insanity all around.

that is because the disease had reached saturation before he ever got into office AND that there was so much resistance to vaccines because of how Trump handled it that there was no hope to contain it.

the window of opportunity to control a pandemic is short.  Trump threw open that window and let CV19 flood the country.  that is 100% on him, as are the many deaths under Biden, all of which could have been avoided.  the comparison i would make is this:

a disease is like a drum of toxic waste.  initially it is contained.  if you are the guy in charge of the container, and you do NOTHING to ensure that the containment is not breached, you are responsible for EVERY DEATH DUE TO THAT NEGLIGENCE.

the best counterexample of what can and should be done is New Zealand.  their "excess death rate" due to COVID19 was NEGATIVE.  that means that they had fewer people die during COVID than they would have normally.  and that is because they not only contained it, they masked up, which prevented OTHER transmissible illness.

the president is responsible for JUST such situations- situations where the NATIONAL interest is at stake.  but since he never cared about the national interest, only his own, he let a MILLION people die unnecessarily.  this is how it will be written in the future, because this is how it was.

[djAdvocate]

i would love to see an honest debate about this issue.
unfortunately, Democrats seem as reluctant to prosecute it as Republicans are to even bring it up.

it would be wise for Trump to stop saying "Chy-na-vi-rus".
if you think about what i just said, what does it say to China if we have that kind of a crappy response to an ACTUAL manufactured pandemic?

it says to me that germ warfare is a genius idea. coupled with a misinformation campaign about vaccines. you could kill a lot more than 1M Americans that way, with someone like Trump in charge.

with someone like Arden in charge, it is quite a different matter.

[djAdvocate]

i apologize for carrying on about this, but.....

this is from the article i posted:

On Saturday Jan. 11 — a month and a half before the first Covid-19 case not linked to travel was diagnosed in the United States — Chinese scientists posted the genome of the mysterious new virus, and within a week virologists in Berlin had produced the first diagnostic test for the disease.

Soon after, researchers in other nations rolled out their own tests, too, sometimes with different genetic targets. By the end of February, the World Health Organization had shipped tests to nearly 60 countries.


The United States was not among them.


do you remember why? it wasn't because the WHO didn't like us. on the contrary, they were OFFERING THE TESTING KITS IN JANUARY, WEEKS before Trump began his 4th, and most disastrous year in office. if he had simply taken and applied that "strength" of his to getting people to take the tests, we would have CRIPPLED the virus long enough to beat back the disease with the vaccine. and he would have sailed to a second term. and with some merit, at that.

do you remember what happened? the response from the US was "we don't need your kits" and Trump began developing his own from scratch. the first kits were flops. on February 27th, over six weeks after the kits were first offered to the US, only 4000 Americans had been tested.

that lost six weeks was crucial. that lost six weeks is what cost us 1M Americans. you can read about it at Wiki, but we all lived through it. it was horrendous.

if Trump wants to take credit for fast tracking the vaccine, that is fine. but vaccines won't resurrect people that have already died, nor will they prevent the disease from spreading to and killing the large number of Americans who were busy deworming themselves rather than doing the simple, safe, effective, and patriotic thing.

Might be entire episode from the Letterman show. Weird to watch the opening bit with the couple from Louisville.

Not particularly interested in watching Trump. Is there a significant connection between what is shown from 35ish years ago and the shooting?

Yes, but it will take awhile to get there. 

Most pundits agree that it was Trump's book The Art of the Deal and the show following it that made him popular enough to eventually win the Presidency. The first part of this video is from 1987 and shows Letterman giving this couple from the heartland a NY Comic treatment in prep for his bit on his show with Trump later that night. They glam her up and ride up the now iconic escalator to see Trump in his office. Allegedly unannounced. Note around 3:50 in he tells them he's not that busy but if he got out their way, maybe they could do some real estate deals.

FBI Director Says There's 'Some Question' Over What Struck Trump's Ear July 25, 2024

FBI Director Christopher Wray suggested that investigators aren’t sure if former President Donald Trump was hit by a bullet or shrapnel during his attempted assassination earlier this month.

Wray testified before Congress on Wednesday about the July 13 attempt on Trump’s life at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. One rally attendee was killed in the shooting, while two others were injured; Trump said he was struck at the top of his ear.

“There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,” Wray said in response to a question about whether all the bullets fired by the shooter had been accounted for.

“It’s conceivable, although as I sit here right now, I don’t know whether that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, could have also landed somewhere else. But I believe we’ve accounted for all of the shots in the cartridges.”

Wray said that authorities had conducted over 400 interviews in their investigation and planned to hold “many more.”

He also said FBI analysis had found that the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, searched for information online about President John F. Kennedy’s assassination and flew a drone near the Butler rally site two hours before Trump’s appearance onstage.

In the immediate aftermath of the attack, Trump said he had been “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.”

Its the political arc of Trump the politician and Russian asset. Yes it connects, but patience is a virtue. If you want to look at this shooting of Trump or a Presidential candidate in isolation, go for it, but its bigger than that. We have a gun culture problem in this country and some folks like the Russians and Trump stir shit up in this country for fun, profit, etc.

Please note the RNC and the GOP convention had people actively aligning with China, just to diss Harris. Two known Russian assets, Trump and Tucker Carlson spoke on the last day. The current GOP has become so corrupt that now all they care is about winning. Or appearing to win. I am watching Seth Meyer videos made during the RNC convention. If you have time, I strongly recommend watching them as a way to catch up to where we are today and perhaps why.

Trump has been considered a Russian asset by Russia since at least 1987 if not before.

I don't see the shooting as an isolated incident. I was just asked how watching that one particular very old video from a late night talk show would give me insight into the shooting. From what you have said, it sounds like a fluff piece of silliness, not uncommon for Letterman.

Thanks for the suggestion on how I might "catch up". I haven't watched "Weekend Updates" for years. Comedians do provide us needed laughs.

Trump was struck by bullet in assassination attempt, FBI says

“What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,” the bureau said in a statement.

The department’s confirmation Friday that the former president was struck in the ear by a bullet marks its latest attempt to quell a political uproar. The new statement is the most direct yet from federal law enforcement about Trump’s injury, though it changes little in practical terms.

It's like asking me to explain string theory and unified string theory when your only background in physics is the classical non quantum physics. Cannot be done in a paragraph or two.

Yeah the way Trump was talking about the bullet going through his ear I thought there would be a bigger mark, even a hole, but the picture I saw of him without a bandage for the first time, I struggled to see any damage at all. 

Maybe he covered it over with his bronzer? 

Not to belittle the fact that he could have been killed, and he did get nicked, but when I accidentally stabbed my hand trying to cut open an acorn squash, I had that gash for like a month and still have a scar.

This is large, but it needs to be because of the numerous cartoon panels. Check out the bottom set of panels, especially the one third from the end where this fake God decides killing the fireman is a good choice in order to save Trump.

[Opti]

For those who don't get the cartoon above it is one cartoonist's imagining if there was a God that did save Trump from being assassinated, what would that God be like? 

The cartoonist decided he would be somewhat like a cartoony version of a redneck who drinks beer and hangs out in his underwear.
That's why his Maga red ballcap just says G so you know its God. But I like he addressed that if God saved Trump, he directed that bullet elsewhere, hence the panel of white redneck white God asking the bullet to hit the fireman instead.
