I'm just over here glad that I never stopped masking, distancing, washing my hands, or carrying my sanitizer around.
Bummer that not everyone is able to do that.
I get that every member of this admin has the intention of destroying America, but what do they think happens when they succeed. They think they gunna be the madmax style warlords? Like once their accumulated wealth is worthless do they think they are ruthless enough to take that mantle? I look forward to some pretty wild news of their demise.

A spokesman for the DOJ responded with the following math:
1 kg of fentanyl * .1518 (current purity level) * 1000 (to convert to grams) / by .002 (amount needed for a deadly dose) = lethal dose of fentanyl
So, 3,400 Kg of fentanyl seized in Trump’s first 100 days
3400*.1518
*1000
/.002
=258,060,000 deadly doses
Correct. That's how I initially figured it out.
Pam Bondi said 75% of Americans were saved. I laughed, that's 268,500,000 people, then it hit me. I've heard a number of the population that the Heritage Foundation believes is a "good number of Americans."
It was 100,000,000. Current population is 358,000,000. 89,500,000 is way too fucking close to 100,000,000 for it to be a coincidence. Then they started shutting life saving things down rapidly. They mentioned new census.
In another interview or maybe it was writing and I wish I could find it right now, "obviously executions would be a problem for the state, and would meet heavy resistance. Famine and disease happen all the time."
The disease one is obvious. But famine is much more nuanced. Tarrifs. Cutting farmers off from their ability to fund their farms. Cutting the food programs. Inflation in eggs. Think of how vital a source of nutrition eggs are.
This regime wants to make the excess death count higher than Hitler, Stalin, and Mao combined.
Time for the sane states to create a "Hub of Pathological Management and Deterence" as a replacement lol. Travelers from non-member states get quarrantined.
The last time they did this, we had an outbreak in Wuhan.
If Trump had done this the first time around before Covid hit, many more people, including his fat ass, would have died.
That's like 10%
Great, who is going to tell me that kids need to get infected with airborne AIDS in order to protect the rich now?
They can't have those billionaire tax breaks by paying health care people.
