Aww! Is Donald J. Hoover, the guy who's killed more Americans than al Qaeda and ISIS combined, going to soil his ruffled panties because the painful truth of his statements is being thrown back in his puffy, orange face?

That shit ain't nothing compared to what's coming if he decides to murder millions of Americans to save his Wall St. buddies come Easter.

I think the same thing about drug dealers whenever I pick up an overdose.

I use the term "overdose" loosely.

He is literally killing his voter base off.

Hmmmm....do you think the same about automobile manufacturers when you pick up a car crash victim?

Automobile manufacturers have come a long way in protecting lives since I was a kid. I remember when an arm across your chest was your seatbelt.

Not so with drugs. They are more lethal now than ever.

Edit: You get a point for using "car crash" instead of "accident."

To be fair, it will mainly kill off inner city inhabitants who are in close contact with each other.

I.e. it will kill off his opponents voter base.

Possibly. Right now, it looks like COVID is deadliest to the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions.

So, inner city inhabitants will be more likely to *get* COVID, but most of them will only suffer mild symptoms. Obviously, poorer people with less access to healthcare will suffer more.

It's hard to say what the ultimate effect will be in terms of voter demographics. Disasters can sometimes favor the incumbent, as the country gets behind its leadership, but Trump's handling of this has been a total clusterfuck. OTOH, *everything* Trump has ever done is a total clusterfuck and that doesn't seem to deter his supporters.

This should be referred to as "Trump's virus" from now on. It happened during his presidency, ergo it's his responsibility. Period.

I hope NYC pulls through OK. I was there last year. Such an amazing group of people and city.

*promote since this ad bothers Trump so much he's now suing stations that air it.
As ridiculous as that is, it's a win win for us....either he loses in court and looks like a thin skinned baby throwing another tantrum or he wins and a new standard is set for political ads where saying something bad about a political rival isn't allowed even if it's a 100% accurate statement.
Also, it keeps the ad in the public's mind for months...maybe until the election, for free.

Now, if only someone would go looking for Barron's long form birth certificate to prove he's actually Ivanka's love child with her father and announce the "big announcement" coming on election day, you won't believe the amazing information their investigators found.
