1,000 additional deaths means nothing to the party that killed Herman Cain at a Super Spreader Event.

So cutting Medicaid by $698,000,000,000 will cause 1000 people to die. So in other words preventing these deaths is costing $698 MILLION for EACH person?The math isn't mathing.

Experience teaches that MAGA does not care about human death.

I'd say that they don't care when the humans who die who are not them.

But COVID shows otherwise.

Uvalde showed otherwise.

Kerrville showed otherwise.

I wonder what the new otherwise will be?

1000?

Trump killed hundreds of thousands with COVID.

He killed a firefighter for a photo op.

He'd gladly murder those thousand people himself if it helped him achieve his goals.
