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…

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.

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.

... 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.

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 .

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.
