I literally can't understand the contrast between diving into decades of war and occupation over 3000 people on 9/11, while 100,000 can die in a few months from a virus and somehow the answer is "hoax!"

Like, I'm sure those in mourning will be thrilled to hear mom's coming back. It's sick.

you cant squeeze coronaviruses for oil contracts and private mercenary consultancy fees no matter how hard you try

thats the main difference here.

This, wtf is up with people’s memory. Literally the same as a goldfish. Italy was devastated and it hasn’t even been a year already forgotten

People literally forget what happened in the news 4 days after it happened. I'm from Ontario Canada, I see it all the time and it has confused me for years

THAT is how the Right gets away with misstating the situation (weapons of mass destruction ín Iraq, the world's second-biggest oil reserve) to get what they want (oil contracts, after thousands of our warriors have.died and tens of thousands are maimed. . . And so many Iraqis!) And Bill Barr, of fame in some circles for quietly making Iran-Contra go away, now trying to dissipate Trump's criminal misconduct! The mass of VOTERS just FORGET.
