Fascinating to witness the grand metamorphosis of Republicans, once proud apostles of the Iraq War, later reborn as anti-war, America First isolationists under MAGA,
now rediscovering their inner Neocons, suddenly eager for regime change, oil reclamation, and a good old-fashioned occupation abroad!

Ah, remember when the GOP used to cosplay as champions of the free market?
I'm glad to see they've finally retired that ill fitting costume...

BREAKING:
The Great & Powerful Pedophile says executives of US defense contractors will no longer be allowed to make more than $5 million unless they build new and modern production plants.
Trump also says he is banning dividends and stock buybacks for defense companies until these problems are "rectified."

He does have a point on this score. The US defense industry has become notorious for cost and schedule overruns, with little, or nothing, ever delivered for deployment. Trump wants to conquer the entire hemisphere. Can't do that with the US arms industry not delivering any hardware.

Two died of Ebola — and they demanded President Obama's resignation.
Four died in Benghazi — and they summoned Hillary for eleven hours of testimony, held thirty-three hearings, and had a four-year, multimillion-dollar inquest.

Then it happened:
Eight hundred eighty-one thousand seven hundred seventy-six dead from COVID.
An armed insurrection against the government.
The theft of classified intelligence.
Allegations of child abuse, rape, and countless felonies — followed by actual convictions.
Lies layered upon lies.
The bankrupting of America, $38 Trillion in debt and counting.
The endless grifting of Americans.
A sabotaged economy.
Unauthorized wars abroad.
Masked thugs murdering American citizens in the streets.
And for this, they did not call for accountability.
They cheered — and crowned him their strongman.

Eight hundred eighty-one thousand seven hundred seventy-six dead from COVID.

That number seems low. Do you have a source for it?

You are correct my source was outdated...
"In the United States, there have been 103,436,829 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 1,228,289 confirmed covid deaths, the most of any country. (Thanks Trump)
The COVID-19 pandemic ranks as the deadliest disaster in the American history.
It was the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2020, behind heart disease and cancer.
The COVID-19 pandemic also saw the emergence of misinformation and conspiracy theories."
