2016 was worse for America than 9/11.
- Yes. Trump's failure during Covid was killing a 9/11's worth of Americans weekly.
  
  Trump was already responsible for one 9/11's worth of American deaths when he refused to send aid after Hurricane Maria. Then COVID happened.
  
  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  First, second, and third world country idealogy is outdated.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.
  
  Not to mention all the immigrants, legal or not, that keep pouring into the country
  
  What gives? Your logic for sure.
  
  Yeah this is 2025, you can't just say something overtly dumb and expect people to understand it was a joke.
  
  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.
- 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!
  
  The Heritage Foundation, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan
  
  Edit. Added a link: You forgot Roy Cohn, the master snake.
  
  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
- 2000 was worse for America than 9/11.
  
  I'm sure this has been discussed to death but... would Gore have read the memos and stopped the attacks?
- 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!
