Unfortunately, there will never be the will among officials to classify the gross negligence and malfeasance as a genocide based on bias and racial discrimination or animosity, even though those were clearly front and center. However, the number of collateral deaths of whites, including children, medical personnel, seniors (like me), and people of all ages and from all levels of the social strata should be enough of an outrage to motivate some serious condemnation for the history books. And, the reality is, that before anyone made the racial connection, we know that Trump had already failed to take any action to stop the pandemic before it became a pandemic in this country, as he easily could have done and was done elsewhere by moving quickly to contain the virus and to protect everyone.

This is why Mike Pompeo calls him one of the most dangerous men on earth; not the terrorists, because most of them are simply following the directives of those who call the shots. And in spite of all his criminal acts, he strolls freely about Mar-a-Lago, why? because as one of America's "rich celebrities", he's on a different level of "justice" than ordinary folk like you and I.

Just so you know, there were nearly double the COVID deaths under the Biden administration for the same period as under Trump. This is not excusing Trump's insanity, but it is Biden who proclaimed the pandemic to be "over." It is Biden who 6 months ago said masking and other protective measures were a "personal responsibility," just like the Trump administration. It is Biden who has removed mask mandates for health care facilities. This is disastrous public health policy, or it is actually a mockery of it, so we should be cautious in our divisive rhetoric and desire to clickbait certain demographics for our own personal gain.

My understanding of Covid deaths does not have the U.S. with the largest amount. I believe that India had the most deaths, estimated at over 4 million. China has not revealed their death rate, and it is probably much more than they admitted to, publicly.

How many times can I say horrific, horrible, horrifying?

Great revisit of this 'political systemic racism' at the top level of our government. Also, I recall with some irony that the pork plants were owned by Chinese companies (which are always controlled by the Chinese govt.). The output of the plants was primarily slotted for China. The irony being that at the same time as complaining this was the China virus, TFG was assisting their racist company.

Trump makes decisions like the psychopath he is. No doubt the strategy that is in this Report came from more than him ( think Miller, Bannon, Stone), and he loved it. Once he went with it, he would never back down. Changing his mind to do the right thing or adjust for new scientific statistics is something he would perceive as weak. What followed tracks with holocaust situations where the perpetrators become even more committed to destroying the "others". People of color AND blue states---it's a twofer.

At the core of it all is greed. The power over life and death must be intoxicating for a bunch of psychos, but nothing "trumps" holding onto the power to have all the tax breaks and corrupt deals they ever wanted.

I have given up trying to get any member of Congress, Biden, Kamala Harris, or the DOJ, to take this seriously.

Involuntary manslaughter / negligent homicide, an act (or failure to act, if you have a duty to act) of "more than ordinary negligence" that results in the death of another.

Trump SHOULD BE prosecuted for 100,000 counts of negligent homicide, a very simple case to try and prove with statistical medical evidence, all the facts needed to convict Trump have been public knowledge since 2020 . . . he is literally getting away with mass murder.

5 years per count for 100,000 counts of involuntary manslaughter, 500,000 years to life.

Trump should also be prosecuted for fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, for defrauding millions of his fans out of hundreds of millions of dollars by lying to them about the "stolen election." Another very simple case to prove, all the evidence is public, Trump's own words, speeches, Tweets and "Truth Social" posts.

Fraud, to make a false or misleading statement of fact, for the purpose of obtaining something of value from another (money, votes).

Legally, every time a politician lies to get money or votes he (or she) commits fraud, in all other contexts fraud is a felony, but we give our politicians a blanket license to commit as much fraud as they want, this is insane. They have a first amendment right to say anything, but they should not have the DE FACTO IMMUNITY we let them have for fraud in public.
