2977 people died at 9/11. So far, 2490 Americans have died of COVID-19.

I bet, Republicans will welcome with open arms the opportunity of a 9/11-style commission to find out what went wrong.

You know, a lengthy fact-gathering and hearing-process that drags every document, every decision and every public statement back into the light and compiles them into one convenient timeline of what happened.

Trump will be responsible for about two orders of magnitude more dead people due to incompetence.

Under Bush over 2000 were killed but it wasn't their fault, And over 2000 are dead but it isn't Trumps fault. But 4 embassy people were killed in Benghazi and Obama and Clinton should have been impeached???
