This is the first time since Sept, 2001, that TIME magazine has featured a black border and the second time ever in the history of the publication.
Gut wrenching.

Does Trump & Co. think they have a "Get Out of Hell Free" card?

(1,400 posts)in fairness, it had some stiff competition.
bush lied, casey sheehan died- over a white cross
respect the troops, screw the veterans- over a 2 faced bushie
the best one was-a pic of w and clinton's heads on the scales of justice that said-
lied about was
lied about sex.
lottttssss of designs.
it was tough. i didnt have the physical stamina to work the protests, etc. i did pretty well on my website.
i did a few art fairs w them, and sold a lot, but it was a 10-20 conversation to make a $2 sale.
i quit when obama got elected. i made a lot of obama faces, and some yes we can's. after the election, i did some 'yes we did' buttons, and one where i the background was all the words they said that meant uppity, w the words in the center- why dont you just say uppity?
but there was no way i was gonna pile on any criticisms that i personally may have had, legit as they may have been.
it got me through the w years, tho.

(2,440 posts)It's that he deliberately lied, and gave advice contrary to Public Health advice just to play politics and sent tons of PPE to China in the early days of the pandemic causing shortages in the US. I could go on but I was in healthcare almost all my life and this just pisses me off
calimary
(80,699 posts)It pisses me off, too.
But the only question regarding this is - when has he NOT deliberately lied?
All his life. But his lies usually don't kill this many people, though.

(786 posts)www.thedailybeast.com: Has Any American Killed More Americans than Donald Trump
https://www.thedailybeast.com/has-any-american-killed-more-americans-than-donald-trump
So Donald Trump copped to it. He told Bob Woodward that he knew how deadly the virus wasand downplayed it anyway, encouraging MAGA nation to act as if COVID-19 was a cheap Chinese knockoff of the flu.
Its remarkable that in these interviews, the president of the United States confessed to fucking manslaughter, Molly Jong-Fast says on the latest episode of The New Abnormal.
The lawyers might debate whether Trump has any criminal culpability. But to Rick Wilson, theres no question about Trumps moral responsibility.
No American has killed more of their fellow Americans in this country than Donald Trump, except for Robert E. Lee and Jefferson fucking Davis, he says. No one has a body count to rival Trumps. He knew it. He knew it was there. He did it. He let it happen. It is the most unbelievable and horrifying outcome that we can imagine.
Molly adds, Mike Pence was at a pro-life event the other day. And I was thinking about the irony, right? This administration has killed 100,000 plus plus plus people. And theyre talking about embryos. Like, its almost beyond parody.

" . . . their narcissism makes the evil dangerous not only because it motivates them to scapegoat others but also because it deprives them of the restraint that results from empathy and respect for others. In addition to the fact that the evil need victims to sacrifice to their narcissism, their narcissism permits them to ignore the humanity of their victims as well. The blindness of the narcissist to others can extend even beyond a lack of empathy; narcissists may not 'see' others at all."
