I would rather have 105 people murdered each year than 100 people murdered each year IF AND ONLY IF the number of people residing in the US under the 105 murders scenario is greater than 105% of the number of people residing in the US under the 100 murders scenario.
Seriously, are you really THAT stup!d? Is it even possible?
It is murders per capita that matters.
My dog. You cannot be this stupid. You chose to have MORE people die. These are not widgets. They’re people, dumb@zz.
Save yourself future embarrassment. Don’t ever post here again. Don’t ever vote. Don’t procreate. Don’t leave your basement again.
And there you have it - the prototypical Trumpette, unable to comprehend concepts that even a 10 year-old child can easily master.
Let me pose another puzzler for you, John, since you have shown such a dizzying intellect.
Imagine that Trump gets his wish and makes Canada the 51st state. With the following facts:
Canada:
Population: 39 Million
Annual murders: 800
Murders per 100k population: 2.05
Current US:
Population: 344 Million
Annual murders: 21,000
Murders per 100k population: 6.1
Combined (Canada as the 51st state):
Population: 383 Million
Annual murders: 21,800
Murders per 100k population: 5.7
Would the combined nation be overall safer or more dangerous (as far as murders go) than the current USA?
Tough question, I know. Give it a shot. Think real hard!
You voted for a word salad alcoholic. Sit this out.
Responds with exactly the same fact free hyperbole and trolling called out in post. Thanks for reinforcing the point of his post!
Gary is a necessary evil. I don’t rub shoulders with anyone so deep in the cult in real life. Without him posting I wouldn’t know that people truly believe this stuff.
You need to view him as helpful for research. Like a hamster.

Hey look! Real Obvi has made cancer safer.
All we have to do is give people cancer who are more likely to survive cancer. Sure some of those people will die and the total number of cancer deaths will go up, but the fatality rate of people with cancer goes down. Viola! Problem solved!
As a bonus he’s made guns safer too!!! Hurrah! We just give guns to toddlers. Sure some of them will figure it out or be strong enough to pull the trigger and kill somebody. But surely it will be at a lower rate than gun deaths per gun owner now. Problem solved: lower deaths per gun owner.
Doing something unnecessary and avoidable does not make something safer.
Congratulations. You continue to prove to be a moron.

Among the incidents recounted to the FBI and cited in the affidavit are the following:
• Mr. Hegseth abused alcohol regularly and his volatile behavior caused family members to fear for their safety. Mr. Hegseth's second spouse had an 'escape plan' that involved texting a 'safe word' to friends and family to urgently request assistance without putting herself in more danger with Mr. Hegseth. This escape plan was executed on at least one occasion. • On at least one occasion, Mr. Hegseth's second spouse hid in her closet out of fear of him. While drunk in his military uniform a violation of military laws - Mr. Hegseth was so inebriated that his brother had to carry him out of a Minneapolis strip club. This occurred during a drill weekend with the Minnesota National Guard. • Mr. Hegseth regularly became so drunk that he passed out, threw up, and had to be carried out of family events and public settings, sometimes shouting sexually and racially offensive statements. Mr. Hegseth said that women should not vote or work, and that Christians needed to have more children so they could overtake the Muslim population. • Several other accounts of abusive behavior and public drunkenness.
As long as he stops drinking if/when he gets in, I think that this will be fine.
And, of course, I DO trust him to keep his word.
The inadvertent satire aspect of it IS rather amusing, though. Is it a warning sign if the potential next SECDEF needs to promise to stop drinking ????

I take it back. It is not reasonable to compare your intellect to that of a 10-year-old. Perhaps you could keep up with the average 6-year-old.
The same thing that occurs at the start of every new administration. The difference is that in 2017, when the emboldened MAGAs realized they weren't getting the immigrant free America they had envisioned, the sicker amongst them started shooting up churches, supermarkets and department stores where these immigrants congregated. You remember, they always seemed to have Trump stickers on their cars. Trump blamed video games.
More broadly, he imagined a complete transformation of American academia. “If you have the full weight of the White House, the full weight of the Department of Education and a platoon of right-wing lawyers trying to use all of the statutory and executive authority that they have to reshape higher education, I think it could be a thing of tremendous beauty,” he told me.
SO great!
Just THINK about how much better American higher education would be if, instead of hearing a lot from Bernie Sanders types (annoying), you instead heard a lot from Steve Bannon types (dangerous) ???

Disclosure: I have been working for the DoD for the past 40 years and have been fortunate enough to work with a lot of very accomplished, intelligent military veterans. Several of them would be eminently well-qualified to be the new SecDef.
Notably, Pete Hegseth is not. He is overtly under-qualified and his character is questionable, at best.
So today Trump is again saying he wants to get rid of FEMA. If a hurricane hits Florida let them deal with it.
Please allow me as a seasoned Trump watcher to explain what this is about.
Trump doesn’t care about saving federal funds. And he isn’t doing this because he is sadistic loser. It is much more simple than that.
Trump knows there will be upcoming disasters and he simply doesn’t want to deal with it. He has spent the last 4 years bashing Biden and Harris for everything FEMA has done. So when upcoming suffering takes place in the next disaster he will just blame the states.
All we have to do is give people cancer who are more likely to survive cancer. Sure some of those people will die and the total number of cancer deaths will go up, but the fatality rate of people with cancer goes down. Viola! Problem solved!
