Yes. Trump's failure during Covid was killing a 9/11's worth of Americans weekly.
Trump was already responsible for one 9/11's worth of American deaths when he refused to send aid after Hurricane Maria. Then COVID happened.
Republicans preventing the US from joining the first world probably kills more than that every week.
First, second, and third world country idealogy is outdated.
Well, the US has joined the second world now, but not in the way that the parent commenter means it.
Yep, we're now aligned with Russia.
give 'em some time. it's still early in the first quarter and he's still getting warmed up

Yes, it's a real mystery why a country that has over 3 million births per year is increasing in population after 1 million more people than usual died over a few years.

US Population in 2019 was approximately 334 million, it's now approximately 343 million.

So the difference is basically a bit more than a rounding error, or from correctly counting people.
