I was actually thinking about this comparison yesterday. The thing is when things started to get really bad in Jones town a decent chunk of people wanted no part of it. They just couldn’t leave because Jones straight up had guns on them and would kill them and was torturing them, threatening their families. I mean Trump would do absolutely the same thing, but hopefully as a country we can somehow prevent that. Like if 50% of Jonestown hated Jim Jones, and then 10-20% of his supporters turned on him when shit started to get really bad, they probably could have stopped the mass suicide?
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has coronavirus
Mr Johnson has tested positive for coronavirus, Downing Street says. His symptoms are mild and he will continue to lead the government response to the virus while he self-isolates, a spokesman says.
I’d give anything to be able to hikack the Fox News Chyron the next time Orange is on.
I have a Facebook friend who doesn’t like Trump, but posted a long message about how, even if he was slow to act, he looks like he is now doing the right thing. I have not said anything because half of his friends are abject deplorables who will jump all over me, but I really just want to point him to last night’s interview with Hannity. It’s a fantastic example of how Trump is absolutely not doing the right thing.
Nothing more starkly outlines just what a gaping pussy coward Donald Trump is than this right here. He’s literally suing people for hurting his feelings. How the hell he has survived this long in New York is beyond mystifying to me.
Biden sucks.
Starts by stating he rescheduled a call with China to go on Hannity.
He showed teh libs!
He is the sort of person who would intentionally cause a pandemic to surge to show his fake news enemies what a pandemic REALLY looks like. That’ll teach them not to cry about it next time.
This country automatically assumes every rich person is a bootstrappy genius instead of the lucky recipient of a lottery ticket. And we undeservedly bestow great power on these assclowns.
Hmm Trump going after Massie. This is weird…but I approve…what is going on?
Massie sucks
Do any of you remember RickJ from 22? I followed his sports betting picks for a while, and after he left 22 I still used his picks that he posted on his website. He eventually started charging for them so I stopped, but I was already signed up for his “newsletter.”
Dude is smart as hell and a winning sports bettor. But I never realized until recently that he’s a hardcore deplorable. I’ve requested to be unsubscribed from his newsletter for a while now, but I keep getting them. Here’s some takes from one I received this morning:
"One of the most concerning things that has come up lately is a few Democrat Governors signing emergency orders precluding Hydroxychoroquine to be prescribed for coronavirus treatment, off label?
This flys in the face of overwhelming evidence that this in combination with Azithromycin is the treatment of first choice at this time for treatment of coronavirus.
When this is said and done, these Governors should be prosecuted for negligent homicide. This is unacceptable to interfere with doctors’ ability to prescribe off label medications."
lol. And this:
"This leads me to the next topic the media-induced hysteria. This has caused untold stress among the population. And as stress increases the immune system becomes weakened. In reality, the Fake news media is harming the immune systems of an entire nation when it needs a strong immune system the most. My thought is that it should be a crime to disseminate false information about the conditions on the ground by the media. Penalties should be a minimum of 10 years in prison.
That would stop this, and force journalist to double-check their sources. And if it’s made up, like much is, they are toast."
Absolutely amazing stuff.
