Colin Powell, military leader and first Black US secretary of state, dies

Just like Trump but in reverse then:ROFLMAO:.
Trump was a Democrat before the was a Republican.

Powell was more of a Republican than Trump ever will be.
LOL. OK buddy. He only voted for the most left president in history and yet he loved Trump. Gotcha.

LOL
Love has nothing to do with it.

Doesn't it just catch you in the gut to know that Trump was a Democrat at one time. :LOL:

Like I said. Trump is not a Republican. Not even close to Eisenhower, Regan, even Bush (both).
 
Why should someone be lauded after they die? WHAT would he laud him for? Voting against him?

This will shock you, but life can mean something outside of what they did or did not do for Trump.

This may also shock you, but Powell had friends and family. They might like to hear some nice words if you have them. Then again, this does not directly benefit Trump, so you probably have no interest in it.

Not at all. He realized what evil snakes the Democrats were. At least he didn't pretend like Powell, McCain, Flake, Romney.

Don't you just hate pretenders who say they are honest and trustworthy with their hand behind their back with a knife in it? Powell should have switched parties like Trump did and been honest with the world. Instead, he was a fake and a fraud.
 
Stop watching MSM.
OMG you really can't see what TRUMP is doing?
You can't see how Trump for some reason has a controlling hand over the Republican party and the real Republicans are afraid of saying anything against him and calling him out on all of his MANY MANY LIES because they know He will speak out against them and start telling all kinds of LIES about them and his lower IQ followers will believe every thing he says like they seen to always do and they won't get re-elected
stepback and look at the Thousands and Thousands of LIES Trump has told his followers and how many they believe , you find that they believe a lot of them if NOT just about EVERYTHING he says
YEP you are a real Trumpster true to the core
Real Republicans were people like Powell and McCain NOT Trump
Have a nice night
 
Once again, my apologies that the truth hurts. The fictional garden of Eden was where God dispensed blue pills. The devil freed them with the hard cold facts and truth. This is why the devil is painted red.

Easy to stay in the Garden of Eden of government handouts, feedings, and control from cradle to grave where blue pills abound. All you need do is obey and be silent.

You are too much. Can you keep a straight face when you write shit like that?

fake and a fraud.
Sounds like you were describing Trump . Though you would have to add grifter and con artist.:LOL:

Why should someone lie just because the person died? Isn't that being a phony?

Oh, WAIT! That is what society expects....fakes and phonies who pretend they loved a person when they hated him. That is repulsive. Be true to your beliefs and feelings. Stop being a phony when you loathed someone and at a funeral, you lie and tell everyone what a great guy he was.

YOU should take a REALLY CLOSE look at your boy TRUMP
NOW there is a REAL " Pretender "
Have a nice night

Good lord, you are tedious. I am also getting the sense you are a child.

If you want some good reads which will move you past that Matrix/Fight Club half-assed way of looking at life, shoot me a PM. You probably don't want to be laughed at any more than I actively want to laugh at anyone trying to be serious, but here we are.
 
First of all it’s not just 6 months. Most of the people dying would have loved 5 or 10 more years, and some many more years than that. The study I referenced earlier had an average of 13 years! That’s a huge difference compared to what you are alleging which often sounds like all the 700,000+ people who died were 99 years old, reeking of bed sores, suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s and drooling 24 hours a day, and just days away from dying or something.
I seriously doubt this is close to reality. Can you provide us with the evidence you believe proves the average person dying with CoVID-19 would have lived another 13 years?
A lot of the Covid 19 victims have one comorbidity and it will be something like heart disease or diabetes, something that diminishes their health but isn’t going to immediately kill them. Someone with heart disease that isn’t that bad at 55 or 65 years old is still very likely to live for 15 to 20 years longer, maybe even more. And big part of this is just the statistical fact that if you manage to live to 55 or 65 years old you’ve already escaped a bunch of the shit killed your dead peers years before, and you’re likely to live even longer.
Well one's expected life expectancy declines markedly with age (the risk of death doubles about every 8 years. Your error here is assuming everyone the same age with cancer or heart disease or diabetes or failing kidneys all have the same life expectancy. Reality is that it is individuals with far more serious or advanced disease that have the greatest reduction in mortality. And it is largely those far sicker people with far shorter life expectancies that are mostly the ones dying when they catch SARS-CoV2.
Yes, and it is very relevant to the arguments you’ve been making which is that Covid victims are old and sick and they’re just going to die soon anyway. You’re just flat out wrong. And you have NO evidence to back up your argument. You just “feel” like it might be true. But that’s not good enough. You need data.
Actually, Paradoxical is largely correct. Indeed, if you look at the deaths of younger people with CoVID-19 they often have serious underlying disease that likely would have shortened their life expectancy by many years even if they never caught the Wuhan virus.
It’s the principal cause. And we can say Covid CAUSED a death if the death would not occurred BUT FOR the Covid infection. Put another way, if most of these people would be alive if the Covid virus did not exist, it’s the Covid that CAUSED their deaths. And in most of these cases it’s not like Covid-19 is stomping on someone’s finger tips as they hang on to the edge of a cliff. It’s not the last straw. It is ripping peoples’ bodies apart.
Actually most of the people who died with CoVID-19 would have likely died had they caught the flu or even one of the human coronaviruses that cause about 20% of colds. The main reason COVID-19 was deadly is because most people had acquired immunity from prior infection with a similar strain of the flu or cold and/or via the flu shots.
And the fact that a comorbidity puts their body in a weakened state doesn’t make Covid any less the cause of their death. Nor does it make a covid victims life any less valuable.
Of course its makes CoVID-19 less of the cause of their dying prematurely. Very few children who catch the colds or the flu die from the infection, but a high percent of people in nursing homes and hospices who catch the flu or a cold die. Big difference. If your seriously ill 90y old aunt dies a few weeks sooner because she caught a cold, the flu or COVID-19 that death is far less tragic than if a 1 year old child in good health catches the flu and dies. No one at the child's funeral is saying well "she had a good long life".

Note that the vast majority of cases of COVID-19 occurred in people under 75y:

Now note that most of the deaths with COVID-19 occurred in people 75y and older:

Not as bad as being a VERY LOW IQ Trumster
You REALLY can't see what Trump is doing and has been doing?
Do you believe all of Trumps LIE? there are 3 or 4 thousand of them just since he took office
I know you believe the election was rigged and fraudulent just by what you post
and again I have to ask you low IQ Trumpsters Have you ever thought Trump was lying to you or was the one who was " Rigging : the election of 2016?
First of all HE was the first one to say the election was " Rigged" and he said it WAY before the election was even held
He NEVER did say who's favor it was rigged in and seeing Clinton won the popular vote and he won the Presindency did HE rig it in HIS favor?
Nobody seems to be asking these questions to his low IQ followers
maybe they should
have a nice night
 
Powell was the great pretender. A liar and a fraud, afraid to admit he was really a Democrat.
What ever you think and say but he was a lot better Republican then TRUMP will ever be
Trump is a Trumpster all out for trump and Trump ONLY and he doesn't give a sh-- about the American people
Real REPUBLICANS at least have some compassion for the American people and their welfare
Trump could give a s--t
Have a nice night
 
It is a fair observation given the degree of demonisation to which those who reject the sacrament of vaccination have been subjected to. If the sacrament of vaccination is not the panacea it's claimed to be then us Neanderthals wanna know.
:ROFLMAO: I wont demonize you. I promise. Dont get vaccinated. Try bleach instead.
 
LOL Politburo! That's a good one. :)

Talk of life imitating art. This so much like from the pages of George Orwell's Animal Farm. At some point nothing made anymore sense to the toiling animals, but Boxer the old work horse retained his faith in Comrade Napoleon, repeating as he toiled : "Comrade Napoleon is always right", "I must work harder".

From the vaccinated guinea pigs to the Politburo:

"Comrade Joe is always right, daily vaccination saves lives".

Should I carry emergency vaccination kids with me? To administer it as a last sacrament if I come upon someone gasping for breath?






6th booster shot! lol
I can tell you never read Orwell. He was a socialist to the very end.

Why lie? It's like someone was a wife-beater and dies and the wife is expected to say nice things about him.

Or disagreed on policy. Policy differences. Wife beating. Same difference, amirite?

Ok, except Powell didn't kiss the toe ring as fervently as you do.
 
Where did I say to let old people die?

Your psychopathic-sounding cull the herd thread is a good place to start. Did you forget what you wrote?

Just because Cuomo did doesn't mean I am in favor of it. You want to claim that they would have lived many many years if not for Covid. I doubt it.

It’s not just me. I’m not inventing it. It’s based on actual data. I gave you a link to the study. If you don’t want to read that’s fine but don’t you dare say stuff like “you want to claim” when you can’t bother to read the stuff I’m using to support my argument.

Cry all you want to about me not going down a rabbit hole of research to rebut a link you posted. As you yourself said, tough shit.

I don’t care if you don’t want to read it.

I care that you are ignorantly spreading disinformation.
