I just hope he never went to the hospital or was in an ICU, using up valuable medical time and resources better spent on more deserving people.

Well, if they show up for something other than Covid, yes they should be treated. But absolutely not for Covid.

No he doesn't. He's decomposing in a body bag, all because of lies people told him, and his stupidity in not researching the truth. His foolish pride cost him his life.

Ain't no eagles six feet below the ground.

die on.

I don't think the anti-vaxxers or freedom-or-die people made much of a sound with the extra-judicial FISA courts, the USA PATRIOT Act, the destruction of the 4th amendment due to the drug war, "free speech zones" for protesters, civil forfeiture laws, or anything else like that.

Their hypocrisy is intense.

Seems like the vast majority of those dying now are over the top Trumpers who voted in 2020. Wonder if all these deaths of MAGA voters will actually flip a close election in 2022.

But as we all now know, Trump is batshit crazy.

I blame the completely sane enablers who surrounded him, enabled him in bringing this horror upon us.

Loss of freedom isn't forever - just ask any ex-convict.
However loss of life IS forever, as I'm guessing he knows already.

Our flag was not meant to be flown around by birds or attached to pickup trucks, or worn as underwear.


They must stop using our flag to make patriotically-baited disingenuous political points......
