Former President Bush 'deeply saddened' by Powell death
The Hill ^ | 10/18/2021 | MYCHAEL SCHNELL

Former President George W. Bush on Monday said he is “deeply saddened” by the death of his first Secretary of State Colin Powell, calling the former diplomat and military leader "a great public servant.”

“Laura and I are deeply saddened by the death of Colin Powell. He was a great public servant, starting with his time as a soldier during Vietnam,” Bush said in a statement issued shortly after Powell's family announced his death on Monday morning.

Powell’s family issued a statement saying that the former Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had died at the age of 84 due to COVID-19 complications.

If Powell had taken the necessary seventeen booster shots he would still be alive today!

His family pointed out that he died despite getting vaccinated. Powell had cancer, which suppresses immune system.

he died despite getting vaccinated

I would reword that slightly.

How about this:

He died because he got vaccinated.

It looks like they need to add a new fatal side effect of the Covid vaccine—death by Covid.

This is another example of a “fully vaccinated” person dying of “complications” from Covid. If only those around him had been vaccinated... Oh wait they were. How many more examples do we need of “fully vaccinated” celebrities dying from Covid before government officials finally admit that the “vaccines” are now useless against the new variants.

This is why numerous virologists and vaccine experts warned in the beginning that Covid viruses mutate quickly and that vaccines were not a good solution. The current vaccines were designed to protect against a pathogen that essentially no longer exists.

....proving that choosing Powell was not some kind of accident. Same with John Roberts.

Yep, never trust a general that is a media darling. I had to relearn that lesson with princess Mattis.

While I feel for the loss his family has, and the loss of a human I must say from a political standpoint I wish it would have happened 30 years ago.

Good friend of Louis Farrakhan (http://globalhoodnews.blogspot.com/2012/08/minister-farrakhan-and-colin-powell.html) Took credit for Norman’s work.

I've got a relative who is doing it the other way. She got vaccinated and now months later she has cancer in 3 organs with no prior signs of a problem.

A healthy friend got vaccinated and has had 3 mini-strokes and the neurosurgeon can't figure out why or where the clots went.

Another vaccinated relative suddenly had sarcoma all over her body and died in 3 weeks. The stories just keep piling up. All my unvaccinated friends and relatives are fine at least. Another healthy vaccinated friend suddenly went downhill and is in ICU in critical condition. His diaphragm won't work and he can't breathe without assistance. Doctors mystified.

I am saddened that people still vote for Bush League Republicans after they have spent 30 years importing a permanent Democrat majority.

I still find it hilarious that he passed himself off as a black guy. My Spanish grandmother is darker than him. Speaking of guys who passed themselves off as black to get into college:

"Fully vaccinated", yet he died of "Covid-19 complications."

So this is "obviously" the fault of the unvaxxed.

Shrub "deeply saddened"?

Oh yeah sure super small JL gif

About that much "saddended".

Shrub is rememberin' how Cheney connived Powell to carry the yellowcake flake water so it would taint Colon permanently and keep him out of a White Hut of his own. And it worked.
