2016 was worse for America than 9/11.
Yes. Trump's failure during Covid was killing a 9/11's worth of Americans weekly.
give 'em some time. it's still early in the first quarter and he's still getting warmed up
Republicans preventing the US from joining the first world probably kills more than that every week.
First, second, and third world country idealogy is outdated.
Well, the US has joined the second world now, but not in the way that the parent commenter means it.
Yep, we're now aligned with Russia.
And yet somehow there are still far more people in the USA than there were before COVID struck. What gives?
Yes, it's a real mystery why a country that has over 3 million births per year is increasing in population after 1 million more people than usual died over a few years.
What gives? Your logic for sure.
Far more? How about some support for that statement.
US Population in 2019 was approximately 334 million, it's now approximately 343 million.

So the difference is basically a bit more than a rounding error, or from correctly counting people.
Yeah this is 2025, you can't just say something overtly dumb and expect people to understand it was a joke.
Jr Bush/ Cheney laid an awful lot of the groundwork for Trunk One’s malevolence
Karl fucking Rove
Lee Atwater, Newt Gingrich etc etc etc
Andrew Johnson.
Donkey!
Edit. Added a link: You forgot Roy Cohn, the master snake.
The Heritage Foundation, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan
As did Reagan and Bush I. And for that matter, a lot of their people cut their teeth under Nixon. Some cancers take a long time to grow.
~~Never Forget~~ We Forgor
Retrospectively? Would give someone’s left nut for 2016 murca and not fucking bullshit 2025 fucking Russia (the one between Maine/Alaska/Hawaii/Florida under the orange thumb)
Hope your kids never wanted to ski outdoors Heritage Foundation!
2000 was worse for America than 9/11.
