Anyone else find it disgusting and distasteful that US news media is mentioning more deaths from COVID-19 than 9/11?


The regular flu kills 40,000+ people yearly. So the 9/11 reference is meaningless. All that does is add drama to the situation. It's disgraceful.

reply

Yes. That's the same thought I had. It warps people's worldviews and pushes them further from reality.

reply

It was much better a few weeks ago when T-rump called it all a liberal hoax. Let's go back to those days - it was less than three weeks ago.

reply

Nope, he called lies like yours wrongly blaming him for the virus a liberal "hoax", moron. As for the virus itself Trump showed he always took it very seriously by imposing early travel restrictions back in January, when you and your buttsniffing comrades were still focused on the insane possibility of a second impeachment and obsessing over what happened with Roger Stone, treating that as the biggest story. Trump was focused on saving Americans' lives and doing his job as President.

Bullshit again! No one 'blamed him for the virus' and he called the seriousness of the virus a liberal hoax to ruin his chances of re-election. Remeber he said we had 15 cases, and it would be 0 in a few days because he had it under control and the hysteria surrounding it was a liberal hoax? Of course you don't.

More lies from krl97a.

reply

LOL! All you've done is blame him for the virus, you turd. It's been the focus of your pathetic posting. Your lies about him calling the virus a "hoax" were debunked long ago. Ironically you're continuing what he actually and correctly labeled a "hoax".

reply

All you've done is blame him for the virus, you turd.


Link to where I've 'blamed him' for the virus. I'll wait...

It's like your komrades this week accusing me of always saying 'I hate him'. I ask them to link to any post in which I said those words. Everyone runs away like their head's on fire. No one can prove their false accusations.

So now I'm waiting for you. Should be easy since you claim 'all I've done is blame him for the virus'....I'll wait.

reply

Among countless other examples of your evil behavior, you close this thread op by saying "#TrumpVirus #TrumpGenocide #TrumpPandemic ", desperately trying to score political cheap shots in the basest, most stupid ways imaginable.

I guess just dishonestly branding it the "Trump virus" wasn't getting it done. It has to become "genocide".

reply

My sharing trending hashtags is all you got? My sharing Twitter comments is the best you come up with to cover your lie ?

Once again I'll ask you: Link to where I've 'blamed him' for the virus.

Not where I shared other people's hashtags and tweets of what's going on in social media by a frustrated 'Murica, but where I myself said it. Quote me - you know how to do that, don't you? Prove you're not a liar. Quote exactly where I said in my own words in which I blame him for the virus, you POS.

I'll wait...

reply

Like a retweet, you approvingly posted cherry-picked, fringe partisan nutjobs spewing hateful garbage as they try to score cheap political points on the body bags of thousands globally, you lying shitbag. I doubt the many grieving loved ones in Italy are viewing this as "#TrumpGenocide" (a freaking marketing device!). Certainly Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom doesn't:

You didn't capture American sentiment (or "Murica", as anti-American bigots like you enjoy saying without thinking), or else you would have posted polls showing President Trump's approval rising during this crisis. The sewage you posted doesn't even represent twitter, and twitter in general doesn't represent America.

Your denials are banal. Everyone here is smarter than you are. Your game doesn't fly. If you're going to put this much effort into lying about this, then maybe you should at least put more effort into disguising at the time your glee in grabbing and posting any negative news about the nation you come across. We'd still call you on your BS but at least the subsequent conversations like this might be more interesting.

reply

Thanks for the essay, which I didn't read because when you write your long-winded essays your intent is to distract and gaslight.

You prove you're a liar once again, which is no surprise to anyone here on the forum. Lying is your specialty and you have a talent for it.

I'l take my victory lap now.

See ya chum!

reply

Bye. Take your defeat lap, liar.

reply

You spelled victory wrong.

reply

Nope, why are you still here? I told you to take your defeat lap.

reply

I took my victory lap - and I've returned to correct you. Your welcome.

reply

I've returned to correct you. Your welcome.

Doh! It's "you're", not "your". Take another defeat lap.

reply

And you think Covid19 will be less than 40k deaths this year? You realize that there were 120k new cases in the U.S. in the past week, right? And they're growing daily at a sharp angle?

reply

I'm not sure where this number is from, but it contradicts the many other sources I've seen. It was over 80k deaths in JUST the US in 2018-2019 season. It was close to 700, 000 deaths globally.

reply

Well, you can address that question to the OP. That's where I got that number from.

The other numbers are from the worldometer coronavirus page.

reply

Either way the proper comparison is with other diseases, especially ones that routinely kill tens of thousands of Americans every year, not a terrorist attack that you only compare to this disease and not others.

reply

What about comparing it to the death rate of automobile accidents ? Is that a proper comparison? Yes or no?

reply

Depends on the point you're making. If it's an analogy showing that society is undeniably willing to live with some risk to continue functioning, then it's certainly proper, especially if it accompanies other, more direct analogies like the regular flu.

But the 9/11 death toll comparison wasn't some developed analogy to make a specific point. It was just a simplistic, apples and oranges comparison on the scale of human loss designed to hijack sentiment about 9/11, a comparison not made with other diseases, and was misleading in its implication that it's rare or maybe even unprecedented for a disease to eclipse that terrorist death toll.

reply

Another essay of word salad - it's a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer, but you want to distract from the question. *Yawn* In other words - more bullsht from you which I didn't bother to read.

reply

Word salad??? Two paragraphs??? You really can't pay attention for more that two whole consecutive seconds, can you dogdump? This is proof of that. You're not too bright, are you dogdump?

Again, stick to your indoctrinated script like your kommissar instructs you to. You only show off just how much of an ADD dunce you truly are.

reply

It's two paragraphs of bullshit when the question required a simple, one-syllable answer: Yes or No.

Maybe your special ed teacher can go over this with you tomorrow?

reply

Don’t retcon your chepooka. You had every chance to read it and respond coherently, but instead chose your usual Ignorant route. If you’re going to bitch about it, bitch to yourself for being a lazy ass.

reply

Don't blame me because you're too stupid to read about 5 lines. 😄 I gave a good faith answer to your question, frankly a poorly formed question. You certainly don't mind posting huge quantities, as your "15,398" post count shows, even if you do write at a grade school level.

reply

I'm calling you out for your bullshit answer when the question required a simple, one-syllable answer: Yes or No.

Someone's awfully jealous of my 15,398 post count !

reply

Only a drooling moron would say the things you do.

reply

Awfully jealous...LOL!

reply

Nope. (there you go; one word answer. 😄)

reply

A third of the global population is on lockdown.

That's damn dramatic!

reply

That's quite a liberal hoax!

reply

They are probably relishing the chance to report on something that isn't "orange man bad."

reply

Yes muh journalists muh real news

reply

Yeah people are going to die.
