2 of natural causes and one of an OD. Damn that Trump for not telling people not to live a healthier lifestyle. 

Didn’t think it would be long until you popped in to jump to the big orange man’s defence… you’ll be telling us he’s nice husband material next.

Hardly defending him. You’d have to be an utter simpleton to blame deaths caused by natural causes and an OD on anyone, regardless of who they are.

Course you are, it's deflection. 

There was an excellent panorama done on the capitol riots and the officers who suffered PTSD. Who have now taken their lives.
 

Of course Trump would never be responsible for the deaths or damage, but he wanted to spread his usual shite and stir the crowd, it was obvious. He nurtures the conspiracy nutjobs wherever he goes.

That’s like saying loads of British people are malnourished because of the Tories.

Its ludicrous.

Just because there were 35 food banks in the uk in 2010, and over 1,300 in 2023 - you cannot simply draw wild assumptions.

You can put as many links on as you like, if you seriously think you can blame deaths caused by a drugs over Dose and natural causes then you’re pretty much a lost cause.

In fairness, watching Boris bumble and clatter his way to disgrace - as the visionaries said he would - came with the additional bonus of watching his fanboys foam at the mouth.

Gratifying that you voted for his Leave cause. Well done matey.

I don't know about the drugs overdose you're talking about. But is the natural causes one the stoke that the guy suffered later on? 

I'm not sure what you're getting at with all this to be honest. It is pretty clear that people were affected by that riot. Whether you can link it with total clarity to their death is of course up for debate but there is plenty of evidence that the police who took their own lives would not have done if not suffering PTSD. As a military lad, it's strange you don't understand. 

Trump lost a fair election then went on a mad rampage spreading false information that it was stolen. He lost every court case and there is no evidence to date that fraud occurred. Yet he happily stirred a crowd up based on this bullshit and continues to do so. 

A Daily Mail article about Biden stumbling about is pretty insignificant in comparison.

No need for the long winded reply. 2 died of natural causes and one of an OD. 
 

Bad orange man did that. 🙄
 

The article, regardless of where it’s from, was a tongue in cheek reply to spiders comment questioning Trumps geography skills. 
 

As you were.

And the police suicides after? or the other person shot on the day? I do also wonder if those people who died from heart failure who have done so if they weren't at a riot.... but we'll never know. 

Honest question. Do you think there would have been a riot in the first place if Trump hadn't have said the election was stolen?

But you didn’t say the police suicides after did you. “5 people died during that riot”

 

Ive no idea if there would have been or not. The way many Americans are it wouldn’t surprise me, would it surprise you?

It would have surprised me aye. Regardless of how bonkers American's can be. 

If he had accepted the defeat, rather than make up false claims it was stolen, then it's pretty obvious there wouldn't have been a riot. You only need to look at some of the banners on show and the chants on the day.

Trumps fault when it does 

The opioid crisis has many fathers, read Empire of Pain earlier this year and followed it up with Dopesick. Its very complex but there is no doubt there is a cross-over between Republican vote share and the pain that many in poorer communities have and are facing due to to pharma companies and those that were bought off on behalf of these companies.

At last it is being treated as the national health crisis it is.

And lets not forget Giuliani's links with Purdue and Ranbaxy.

Accepting defeat. Interesting turn of phrase. You mean like those odious cunts marching on the streets the day after he was elected with "Not My President' signs etc. or the repulsive accusations from the likes of Ashley Judd iin her reaction to his being elected?

Seems your side of politics (as predictably and surely as always) engage in double standards. Only acceptable if it leans your way.

The US is totally bonkers. The gun situation itself is enough to confirm this. It must be the only possible explanation why, after years of vilification; a weaponised justice system being used against him and endless stories of former indiscretions and dalliances that somewhere around 50% of voters in the US would still vote for him in a Presidential Election.

Don't knock it. Other than that bloke at the Vatican, it seems that fentanyl is the only other entity capable of creating saints. Worked for Saint George Floyd. Career criminal, wife beater and all round bad guy - eulogised, muralised and celebrated worldwide at the beginning of football matches.

Heavy stuff indeed.
