McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

1. Million excess deaths during Covid. Can we invade mar a lardo?

If you are going to talk deaths...

Deaths in police custody...US highest in industrialized world
Deaths due to preventable conditions because no universal healthcare...US on bad end of that list

Deaths during Covid compared to expected percentage...caused by Mango Mussolini and his fear of smearing his orange makeup with a mask.

Ruling party with less than 50 percent of popular votes...US too

If anyone deserves to be invaded for regime change, it is the US for purging the gerrymandered, pedophile protecting Republican party.

5. You miss the point for the last 80 or so years, Republican administrations can never be held responsible only Democratic

So it is Obamas or Bidens fault

[Ferrets are Cool]

2. BOOM!!!

[Figarosmom]

3. You go, Politics girl! 😊

[GiqueCee]

4. Leigh McGowan for President!

Politics Girl is the best, hands down and goin' away. And those Republican pieces of shit were caught flat-footed. And please, interrupting her with, "America's job is to destroy our enemies!" as a defense of refusing the provide affordable healthcare for its citizens... is just completely and utterly diseased and beyond justification.
Every time I think I can't possibly hate Republicans any more than I already do, an asshole like that geek in glasses opens its mouth, and I go supernova.
I gotta go punch a wall.

9. YES!!!

YES!!! I agree with every word you have said!!!

[niyad]

13. Leigh is a naturalized citizen.

[GiqueCee]

15. Oh. She never mentioned it to me...

... but then, I've never met her, so that might account for it.
I still think she's got a very insightful mind, and a gifted delivery.

[niyad]

16. Perhaps that is it. I happened to catch a video where she did mention it.

Absolutely agree about her mind and delivery!

[Bev54]

19. Yep she is a Canadian girl.

[GiqueCee]

20. It figures...

... they breed 'em smart up there, eh?

[Bev54]

22. Thanks eh!

17. He gave a one-sided view, for sure.

We can do both: provide for the common defense AND promote the general welfare (health and well-being of the people).

Republicans seem to want to provide for an unjustifiable offense, with nothing left for health.

[ShazzieB]

21. Republicans don't want to promote the general welfare.

The GOP strongly opposes spending government money to *whispers* help people. They want people to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. So what if they die trying? Anything is better than taking a "handout," right?

6. She is so good.

7. Carrying the torch for Bernie.

8. That glasses guy was hideous

she burned him

10. He has his script and is not allowed to deviate from it.

14. Who was that ass clown?

Americans have been killed or died around the globe on any given day. Do we bomb or attack those jurisdictions?
The Saudis were responsible for the largest death of American on our soil, TRump makes deals with them .

[Uncle Joe]

11. Not to mention how many Iranians died in the Shah's torture prisons from 1953-1979 because we overthrew their democracy,

and installed a quarter century dictatorship?

Thanks for the thread mahatmakanejeeves

12. Healthcare would be socialism that takes away our freedoms

we need Americans to die in foreign wars so our companies can get their oil. That's the price of Epstein Files....er.... freedom.



MAGA politicians want high oil prices and for American soldiers to die in this conflict. They think war deaths will rally support for their side. Otherwise, they could just declare victory and leave now. Trump lifted sanctions on Russia and openly admitted American oil companies will get more revenue from higher oil prices.

23. Great point!!
