    Correct.

    Correct.

    No. Not because he was vaccinated. Because COVID in and of itself doesn't kill.

    Cancer was the cause of death. He just happened to test positive for COVID at the time. He was probably tested last second before his death and the PCR test was magnified a gazillion times to come out positive so that COVID money could be had.

    This is all a scam.

    I try not to compare them myself.
    Each had different roles to play for this country.
    Trumps narcissism is a thing I do not like. But a president who is not one is unusual.

    What would be interesting is to read what Colin Powell said bad about Trump.
    Then compare what Trump said to counter what Powell said first.

    Powell came down damned hard on Trump.
    This is what Trump said when Powell died.

    "Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media," Trump said in a statement. "Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO [Republican in Name Only], if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!"

    Not to repeat myself, but Colin Powell was not kind in any fashion to Trump.

    Yes, that's the complete quote, but sorry, I do find it disgraceful.

    I would sympathize with Powell a lot more had he treated Trump decently.

    We, you and I really do not know each other. Still based on your comments I could have a chat with you and not get all pissy.
    Powell hated Trump. And made no bones about it. So for Trump to suddenly fall in love with Powell makes no sense at all.

    Yes, not fall in love but he could have simply said, "he served the country honorably; rest in peace" and leave it at that. And no need to make it about himself. Big whiner. Everything is "boo-hoo they treated me badly; they stole my cake."

    LOL. Gotcha. Covid doesn't need anyone to be intubated either. It's just the person's lungs. Yes?

    I located my AIC number moments ago. This was late in August at the hospital. I had a reading of 8.2. @CenterField

    I know of 4 people who had CV19 and none of them were intubated. Are you sure they did not already have problems first?

    Why when dead is bad things they said now wonderful?
    Powell should not have trashed Trump. You are pleading poor Powell when he is dead already.

    If Trump died today, the thunder of the clapping over this would rock my neighborhood if the posters all lived here. Trump is hated. And it is not really deserved. I do not want this to sound as if Trump is excused, but hated? That is severe as I see things.

    I am pretty sure where I live this neighborhood is not full of Trump haters so would treat him kinder.

    I believe it is unhealthy to live with that kind of hate in a persons own soul.

    The topic is Colin Powell.

    Why would the things he did be off topic?

    Sorry, that's not a good number. You need to work with your doctor to bring it down, lower than 7.0.

    Trashing Trump for me is not a flaw, it's an asset.

    Thanks @CenterField

    Also the hospital was not giving me the prescription drugs I told you earlier. Also I was not eating any food when in the hospital until the final day of my departure.

    I wouldn't call it hatred. I simply dislike the man and I don't think he is right for our country as POTUS. I don't trust him. I think he is corrupt and has no respect for democracy and for the Constitution. By the way, I don't think that Joe Biden or Kamala Harris are right, either, but I consider Biden to be a slightly lesser evil than Trump. Kamala Harris, not so sure. I see in her character flaws similar to Trump's.

    I am truly sorry to read a Doctor make that remark. But you have the right to do what you want.
