White House seeks to change subject from 200K COVID-19 deaths
By Brett Samuels - 09/22/20 04:48 PM EDT

The U.S. death toll from COVID-19 surpassed 200,000 on Tuesday, but the grim milestone passed without too much of a comment from a White House more focused on the battle over the Supreme Court.

Trump used a recorded speech to the annual United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday to condemn China for unleashing “the plague onto the world” but did not mention the fact that the U.S. was nearing 200,000 deaths.

The U.S. passed that marker a couple hours later, according to John Hopkins University.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany opened her briefing about 90 minutes later with an attack on Democrats about the battle to nominate a successor to liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Good luck with that one.  The Democrats are going to mark every milestone, every statement by Trump that the worst has passed, every comment downplaying the pandemic.  And why wouldn't they?  It's an important topic to the overwhelming majority of the public and the majority don't approve of how Trump's handling it.

Right. And the truth be damned.

It's how the rats, and other assorted Trump haters, roll.

When has truth ever factored into a presidential campaign?

Politics are what they are.

But God help us if we ever reach the point where the only thing that matters are the lies and propaganda.

Doesn't this belong in the Editorial/Opinion Forum @mystery-ak ??  After all, this is what this essay is.

Anyone with more than two working brain cells grasps that 200,000 people did not die FROM Covid. I suspect that a good number didn't have it at all, even as a contributing factor to their deaths.

Sadly we will likely never know. The numbers have been so sullied as to make them wholly unreliable.

That ship sailed a long, long time ago.

I can't get used to it. And as bad as it is for my health I don't plan to.

Crass as it may sound but 200K dead is just a culling of the herd and decreases the surplus population..  It happens in nature all the time.

True. The media and Democrats (but I repeat myself) act like death doesn't happen every day.

A statistical burp, even if the numbers are valid... Which they are not.

Even if they had, initial projections were for 2,000,000 deaths, not 200,000.

For anyone else, anywhere else, keeping the death toll down to 10% of projected would be a big win!

In reality, we're looking at roughly one percent of the projected death toll, even with the CDC, the WHO, and FDA all working against the POTUS.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Puhleeeze.
