Colin Powell died?
Oh.
When I hear Powell’s name my most vivid memory is him dancing at obamas inaugural ball. I’ll always remember that.
With all due respect....RIP
You really have to wonder if the vaccine is actually overloading the body’s immune system and making it less effective at fighting off anything.
“Fully vaxed, which is the problem”
Also 84 y/o.....not exactly a shocker....I hope to live that long.
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has died due to complications from COVID.

Every death now is a “complications from COVID”
RIP
“He was still and honorable man. Politically, he sucked.”
I would argue that for the most part, those two things are mutually exclusive.
Hope he didn’t let the door hit him in the ass on the way out.Did a hell of a lot more harm than good.
The vaccine did not work again. This is a high profile failure. How many non-high profile failures have there been. That info is being hidden from the public due to politics. Reprehensible...
I guess we won’t have his commentary on what to do in the upcoming round of elections.
2nd thread.
At 73 I think I’ve already outlived my expiration date. Back when I was drinking two six packs of beer and smoking five packs of cigarettes a day I figured I wouldn’t make it past 50.
At one time, I had a lot of respect for Gen. Powell, given his Vietnam service and the First Iraq War, which was masterful. He came out thereafter with the Powell Doctrine, which was really a brilliant set of ten points to be referenced and satisfied before starting a new war. He had publicly disparaged GW Bush for what he was, a draft dodger, then oddly embraced him and became his Secretary of State. What then got me was that he discarded the Powell Doctrine entirely to go along with the Second Iraq War, made a fool of himself at the UN promoting it, and stood behind Bush instead of resigning. He then turned his back on the Republicans with his support of Obama, Hillary and Biden. So, his life was a very mixed bag - really impressive early on and then he seemed to do his best to destroy that reputation starting some twenty years ago.
I’m surprised they said he was fully vaccinated.
Figured that detail would be left out.
Damn you spent a lot of money on cigs and beer. I did to for
a few years a long time ago.
The democrats must not have let him have access to their secrete covid preventative and treatment medicine that they take. hydroxy and ivermectin.
Typically when someone dies at 84, they just call it old age, no matter the reason except murder.
