240,000 are hit by lightning, is that Trump's fault too? What is Biden's solution to that?

Biden is the biggest Monday morning QB on Earth. If he had any answers/solutions, he would have told us about them 48 years ago, when he began his parasitic career.

Until we cease having such a high daily death count. You don't stop fighting and walk off the battlefield when the battle has not yet been won.

There will come a time when it will be safe again. But today, as we speak, there were another thousand deaths. Clearly, we have not gotten there yet.

Great. Let's do the same thing with cancer. After all, it kills 3X as many Americans.

The virus is not Trump's fault. The US reaction to it, with near 200K dead in 8 months, is entirely his fault. Not wearing a mask, saying some people think masking wearing is unhealthy, saying the virus will go away, and generally muzzling the CDC and his own scientists are ALL HIS FAULT.



We haven't had a president this unworthy of a 2nd term since Richard Nixon.

Many of those deaths were the result of state governors' actions, in which the feds had no authority over.

But since those were Democratic governors, you lay no blame on them even though the deaths were the direct result of their actions.

I don't blame him for the virus. I blame him for his dismal response to it. Look at the daily numbers for other countries around the world. No one else is losing a thousand people a day to the virus at this point, not even close. Most aren't even reaching 100 deaths a day any more because they all have done things to mitigate the spread.

Yet the high death toll here in the U.S. just goes on and on and on and on and on, day after day after day.

You seem to think that's just fine and dandy. I disagree.

Poor equivalency. Most of the cancer deaths are tobacco related. If quitting smoking could keep you from getting cancer, would you quit?

I have a friend dying from esophageal cancer right now. She smoked for over 40 years. My dad died of lung cancer. He had his last cigarette just before they drugged him unconscious to die. You have to let the high risk cases eliminate themselves. It's their life. They can play Russian roulette and die if they want. I hate that my father and friend wouldn't quit smoking and killed themselves, but I wasn't going to fight them about it.

Let them die. It's their business. If you have to keep your distance and let them die alone, that's how it works.

Okay, great. How shall we stop cancer, though? Masks won't stop the spread. What's your idea there? You must have one, since you continue to insist that cancer and COVID are so similar that the remedies must also be the same. I'm all ears.

Amen. But don't expect useless fools who live, walk, talk, eat, sleep and breathe MSM BS to understand this.
