Let's not forget that the world population was only 1.8 billion in 1918 -- so less than a quarter of what it was during COVID. So H1N1 was even more lethal than the absolute numbers suggest.

Comey is the one who gave us this nightmare. May he never have a moment of peace for the rest of his life. It is especially ironic that Trump is going after Comey; without him, Hillary would have been President and the world would be a far better place.

The NY Times hated her and did everything in its power to demonize her; and then Comey finished the job -- both in vilifying her in the summer when he decided not to prosecute her and then again when he violated DOJ policy 11 days before the election to attack her once again.

Being sincere, honest, and devoted to your job doesn't guarantee success. We will have to see how Mamdani performs when confronted with the complexities of real world problems in a large city like New York. I am rooting for him; it would be great if he can hire an experienced staff.

Trump smiled like that in the presence of Prince Bonesaw. I think it's his standard response in the presence of an alpha who owns him.

Inexcusable. Cassidy knew better but his fear of Trump was greater than his loyalty to the nation.

Trump is an misogynist, insulting women in public since his first run for office in 2015. He is a role model for the children of our nation, teaching them that it's fine to ridicule and taunt anyone you dislike and that demeaning others is appropriate behavior. Truly disgusting person.

The big question: was Trump told in advance of MBS plans to slaughter Khashoggi and did he give this murder his blessing?

Trump responded the same way immediately after MBS murdered Khashoggi. He didn't care then and he certainly doesn't care now.

There are millions of voters in the South who voted for the Democrats; unfortunately, at least partly due to widespread voter suppression, they were outvoted by the racists and sexists who continue to vote red.

Maybe it's because he's innocent and the other three aren't? Or maybe they don't want to get dragged into this any more than they currently are. After all, denying allegations doesn't help anyone in our current climate -- but if they're totally silent, they may not be pestered by the media

Unfortunately, his minions in the Department of Injustice will make sure to excise all GOP names (especially that of Trump) from their investigation. We will never see a full and honest list of those who participated in these horrendous activities as long as they are in power.

15 year olds are not "barely" legal; they are illegal. The one exception is if the partner is 15 or 16 themselves and relationship is consensual.

Hannity understands his audience perfectly -- they are so gullible that they would accept Maxwell, felon, perjurer and sex offender, as a legitimate character witness.

Then why did you capitulate? You know the base is infuriated that the Democrats caved in, once again. We are in this mess because of your failure in March. And now the party has failed our nation once again. The Republicans are abolishing the ACA, and there will be no meaningful replacement.

But their real lord and master, Leonard Leo, is probably very unhappy about tariffs.
