Tough, I really can not think of something nice to say. 84 and died of Covid related complications. _________________________ "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile - hoping it will eat him last” - Winston Churchil | |||

Reports are he was fully vaccinated. | |||

84 is a good run, covid or not. He was the squishiest of squishy Republicans which is the extent that I will criticize the man at the moment. He was reportedly fully vaccinated by the way. If they're really blaming the Chinese flu for his death, that doesn't speak well for the vaccine. Still, 84 ain't too bad. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

I respected that I never knew how much of a liberal he was until after he took off the uniform. Many of today’s military leaders could learn from that example. “We truly live in a wondrous age of stupid.” - 83v45magna "I think it's important that people understand free speech doesn't mean free from consequences societally or politically or culturally." -Pranjit Kalita, founder and CIO of Birkoa Capital Management | |||

I think it's safe to say that he had other preexisting conditions that had weakened his immune system. | |||

Powell was a big race fan and showed up occasionally at IndyCar races to call the engine start so there's that. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

Isn't it grand CNN can lead their Fake News with more Covid indoctrination?  | |||

I respect his military accomplishments and am sorry to hear of his passing. RIP, General Powell. | |||

Thank goodness he was fully vaccinated, think how much worse it could have been if he wasn't! Also, I'm guessing that he will continue endorsing and voting for dems in 2024. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

Yep. On both points. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Yes, CNN's headline had to include "black" and "Covid" together to ensure maximum impact rather than just his title and service history. Like others, I respected him for his military service. | |||

They also interrupted the story of his death for a PSA about no vaccine being 100% effective. | |||

Just like a lot of covid cases … He died of something else. He had blood cancer. That’s what killed him him. AMF "Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty." ~Robert A. Heinlein | |||
