Where is the beef?

Was it a lie or Just old school marketing with a goal of Winning at all costs. Should we believe the advertising?

With access to almost unlimited funding ($$), the best and brightest lawyers in the United States, the full resources of the FBI and the United States Justice Department, President Donald Trump and others filed 60 lawsuits contesting 2020 election processes, vote counting, and the vote certification process in multiple states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. They sent four cases up to the Supreme Court. Nearly all the suits were dismissed or dropped due to lack of evidence. They've won zero. That should make everyone think there might be some validity that Trump’s marketing machine was trying to win at all cost, unfortunately not by telling the truth.

Up to and including the day people lost their lives at the Capital building, Trump said, “the election was stolen from US.” Trump and his attorneys asserted widespread election fraud in public statements, though few such assertions were made in court. They kept perpetuating a lie.

Some like to talk about the good people in the “Stop the Steal” crowd. I am sure that there are many good people that believed the President. They should believe the President, he is held to a different standard because he is the only elected official that we all have a chance to vote for. We all want him to be successful. The question is, “Is success earned if it is built off lies.”

Maybe we should talk about the good people who are suffering from Covid-19.

President Trump said: “Covid, Covid, Covid is the unified chant of the Fake News Lamestream Media. They will talk about nothing else until November 4th, when the Election will be (hopefully!) over. Then the talk will be how low the death rate is, plenty of hospital rooms, & many tests of young people.”

Maybe we should talk about the 350 million Americans that have not died of Covid-19, because only 360,000 have.
Maybe we should not talk about the hundreds of thousands of people who had been released from the hospitals in the last 10 months because of Covid-19 instead of the 135,000 currently hospitalized.
Just in Florida, 66,000 people have been hospitalized with Covi-19 and thank goodness only 7,400 are hospitalized now and 23,000 died.
But for one of those 360,000 people who died in the US from Covid-19, it is very important. For the families that have been torn apart by the lie that Covid-19 is no worse than the flu, it is a big deal.
