        It seems like hoping for millions of children and infants to die is a really ghoulish thing to do. You apparently already gave it a try.

          Yes, a month will kill MILLIONS and MILLIONS of children. And I gave it a try in my backyard, yes. You’re clearly on top of things.

            A month of salmonella epidemic could, indeed, kill millions of children within a month. It can also continue long after that month is over even if the person who caused the damage is out of power.

            But let’s say we’re just talking about 5 children. That’s still ghoulish. I’m not sure why you’re not understanding that.

            Or do you think diseases spread by raw milk are aware of who they’re infecting and what age they are and know when to back off?

              Ok, let’s be realistic: only some dumbass company would try it and only some people would drink it and then a few would land in the hospital. There won’t be millions dead even in your wildest wet dreams because distribution its is controlled and people would prepare for it. Besides, people don’t usually pass on salmonellosis like airborne covid, and the mortality rate is way lower anyway.

              But let’s say we’re just talking about 5 children

              Why does it gotta be children, though? I didn’t think I’d see some peral clutching this early but here we are. lol Always with the damn children as if other people don’t exist. I can’t even begin to describe how hard I just rolled my eyes, I think I pulled several eye muscles reading that.

              That’s still ghoulish

              Not as ghoulish as all his other policies that would make actual millions suffer and thousands more die? Bet.

              Or do you think diseases spread by raw milk are aware of who they’re infecting

              Idk you tell me, you’re the one stuck with the Save the Children™ mentality.

              (And, yes, I’m only humoring you because you think I’m serious. Good lord this site is unbearable sometimes with people like you who decide to ackshually obvious hyperbole and meaningless rhetoric. Sometimes it’s just a throwaway comment that expresses some frustration and nothing more, goddamn. lol)

                Why children? Because they have nothing to do with American politics since they have no say in the matter, but you want them to be part of the collective punishment anyway.

                This should be obvious to you.

                Also, “I’m not as much of a ghoul as they are” is not the defense of yourself that you think it is.

                And I don’t buy the “the horrible thing I just said was a joke” from you any more than I buy it when Trump makes the same claim.

                  Shoot, a lot of adults don’t, either! lol What, you think everyone gets and exercises a vote? This should be obvious to you.

                  I’m not as much of a ghoul as they are

                  I think you’re seriously confused as to whose policy that is. I’m merely saying let him have his fantasy for a hot minute. “Let him fuck around” were my actual words. What are you trying here?

                  And you don’t have to buy anything. You already made up your mind from the moment you decided to ackshually all over this thread to white knight the imaginary children.

                  Will someone think of the imaginary children!

                    I really do not know why you think mocking someone for worrying about children dying (maybe you’re not a parent, but I am) is any sort of defense against a claim that you’re being ghoulish. Quite the opposite.

                    You apparently are not in the U.S. and I’m guessing you also don’t have any children. Lots of people with children in the U.S. are very scared right now. The fact that my own very much not imaginary child is queer is why we’re emigrating to the UK (where I have dual citizenship) before January. She has cousins. They are not going to be so lucky when wave after wave of disease hits the U.S. thanks to RFK being in charge of Health and Human Services.

                    But hey, kudos to your hilarious joke. Let us all know when your standup tour starts.
