The details of this summary are what’s on the laptop

@redredred Nope.

@redredred Do you also believe in flying unicorns???

@ElwoodBlues No. I leave fantasies like that for the childlike people who think socialism will work and that a mental defective who spent the entire campaign hiding out in his basement got more legitimate votes than any candidate in the history of presidential elections anywhere on earth.

@redredred So you DO believe in the fantasy of Trump winning the election. Biden got more legitimate votes than any candidate in the history of presidential elections anywhere on earth, because he was running against the worst presidential candidate in the history of the US. And a vast majority of Americans knew it.
@redredred

I'm sorry you can't believe that Trump could be defeated. Even Republicans looking for problems found nothing which could change the outcome.

Yes, lots of people voted for him. Millions more voted for Biden, as repellant as that seems to be to you.

You do understand that Trump lost the popular vote in BOTH elections, right? Do you think it is the *right* of the Right to forever only have minority governments?

@windinhishair So you'd prefer Biden's accomplishments to Trump's? Only a fool would say yes.
@Strictgram Trump "accomplishments" like 22 million lost jobs? Trump "accomplishments" like nearly $4 trillion in deficit spending in a single year??

@ElwoodBlues It's not worth the time.

Impervious to facts, unable to read/comprehend graphs...part of the side-effects of being mesmerized by DJT.

@Strictgram Of course I would prefer Biden's having added millions of jobs to the economy to Trump's loss of jobs during his failed term in office. And I prefer having a lower unemployment rate than Trump had when he left office, and Biden has also achieved. And I prefer having lower annual budget deficits, which Biden has accomplished after Trump has the two highest ones in history, by far. And I prefer the Inflation Reduction Act and the better late than never addressing of global climate change to Trump's denial. And I prefer a president who isn't an open white supremacist and racist like Trump. At least Biden is a decent human being.

Only a fool would say they don't support these things. Like you.

@Strictgram LMAO You can't conveniently clip out the pandemic part of Trump's admin and arbitrarily assign it to Biden.

Trump screwed up the response to the pandemic big time:

1. By not personally getting behind the vaccine, getting it live on TV *right at the beginning* and asking/telling his supporters to get it, he set us up for failure.

2. Remember how he openly admitted--to a Watergate reporter, no less!--that he LOVED to downplay CoViD? That, as an airborne disease, it was so much harder to fight, because you have to breathe...

So your great leader lied about the seriousness of CoViD, and openly admitted it. If you believe everything he says, BELIEVE THAT.

3. He never fixed the personal protection equipment problem. Instead of using the broad powers of the President to do so, he didn't.

4. The worst is how he set us up for failure by not asking ppl to understand that a PUBLIC health emergency affecrs us ALL.

We could have been an EXEMPLAR like New Zealand or Taiwan. Instead, we are a cautionary tale with a dismal death rate among the industrialized nations.
Thank Trump for that.


Go buy your special shoes...
@Strictgram
You left out the consequences of Covid,
No, that's EXACTLY what I was referring to. You want to give Trump a pass even though he mis-handled our response to Covid. And then you want to blame the further consequences of Covid on Biden!

Slick move, but it failed. All thru Trump's term we had DOUBLE the per capita Covid death rate of countries like Canada and Germany. DOUBLE. Where does the buck stop??

@windinhishair that worst president never committed an additional soldier to foreign wars. That president achieved the lowest unemployment numbers for Hispanics, women and African Americans in history. That presidents worst GDP was higher than Obozo’s best. That president negotiated the Abraham Accords, peace treaties that same Obozo called impossible, impossible just like the manufacturing jobs than came back to the US.

That president?
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@redredred The unemployment rate was higher when Trump left office than when he took office, so that was a failure. Trump had negative GDP during 2020, so your claim about the comparison with Obama is another of your lies. Biden's 2021 GDP was the highest in 37 years and far higher than anything Trump managed. Trump lost jobs during his presidency, not increased them.

Yes, that president, the worst in our history. Trump. It isn't a surprise he lost the popular vote twice. If he is the nominee, he will make it three for three.
@redredred
that worst president never committed an additional soldier to foreign wars.
True. However, greatly overbalancing that fact, our Covid per capita death rate all thru 2020 was DOUBLE that of countries like Canada & Germany, resulting in 550,000 deaths under Trump.

If Trump had handled Covid as well as, say, Justin Trudeau, we'd have had 275,000 FEWER DEATHS! Put another way, Trump's mis-management of Covid cost more deaths than THREE Viet Nam wars!! Three Viet Nams in a SINGLE YEAR, not spread out over ten years like the actual war!!!

Sure, Covid came from outside. And different leaders in different countries managed it differently. Trump's piss-poor Covid management is made clear by the relative per capita death rates.

"I look at it this way," Birx told CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta. "The first time, we have an excuse. There were about 100,000 deaths that came from that original surge. All of the rest of them, in my mind, could have been mitigated or decreased substantially."

Gosh, @redredred, without the selective blindness afflicting Trumpsters, the world looks rather different, doesn't it?

@ElwoodBlues More US covid deaths under biden than Trump. Let's try some honesty here.

@redredred Oh lawd, the memes are educating redredred again... I guess it's time for his nap.

@Strictgram You can't blame Biden for Republicans who refuse to get vaccinated. That's on the Trump Cult. That's why Republicans are dying disproportionately still. And they will continue to with their anti-science approach. Good riddance.
Strictgram · 70-79, C
@windinhishair Vaccines don't prevent getting covid or stopping its' spread. Or haven't you noticed? About time you faced facts. Afraid you're a flat earther.
@Strictgram Vaccines aren't perfect, but they greatly reduced the rate of Covid infections and reduced the spread. Allow me to provide the data & links behind my claim.

In 2021, the 75% of Americans fully vaccinated produced under 20% of the Covid deaths, while the 25% unvaccinated Americans produced over 80% of the Covid deaths.

In 2021, the 75% of Americans fully vaccinated produced under 31% of Covid cases; while the 25% unvaccinated Americans produced nearly 70% of Covid cases.

This means the US unvaccinated had a 5X higher chance of contracting Covid compared to the vaccinated per capita, and that overall the unvaccinated had about a 15X higher probability of Covid death per capita.

Note: since 'Long Covid' occurs in 15% to 25% of Covid cases, that means there is also a 5X higher prevalence of Long Covid per capita among the unvaccinated.

@Strictgram Vaccines DO significantly improve outcomes, which is why more Republican deniers such as yourself are dying than Democrats who believe in facts and science. Or haven't you noticed? About time you faced facts. Afraid you're a flat earther.
redredred · M
@windinhishair Actually right now a lot more vaccinated are dying than the pure bloods.
Strictgram · 70-79, C
@redredred Someone should inform the ignoramus above. Science has been wrong throughout Covid. Leftists look for any excuse to criticize Republicans. His blatant bias is obvious.
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@redredred Not in terms of percentage. The facts show conclusively that if you are vaccinated, you are much less likely to die of covid than if you are not vaccinated. But that's OK--it is your choice to take a significantly higher risk of death and to die in higher numbers if you wish. @Strictgram
