      Not So Fun fact:

      Bird flu has killed 50% of the humans it’s infected so far, and that same idiot is going to be back in charge.

      And this time, our soon to be Secretary of Health has part of his brain eaten away by a worm.

          He won’t even live there, just like last time. He’ll live in his hotel and cost us tax payers a million dollars per day, that goes straight into his pocket.

      We were averaging one 9/11 every three days during Trump’s pandemic. And that’s just counting the deaths directly attributed to COVID, with the CDC and a shitload of states playing “don’t test, don’t tell” plus the delayed deaths due to cardiac injury I’m betting the death numbers were closer to 5x reported.

          That would’ve been a terrible idea to remind them of that period. Voters hate the way it was handled and blame the dems for it. They were blaming Kamela for all sorts of things she had zero authority over.

    Am I the only one who found a message of “hope” in Idiocracy? We start at a future dystopia approaching human extinction caused by following some of the worst trends in current society. Then a savior appears, and they’re smart enough to actually follow him? They’re able to overcome some of their worst natures and start on the road to recovery.

        Indeed, Idiocracy shows an automated sex positive future where everyone does what they want because they don’t have anything to be afraid of anymore… One where problems exist sure, but we all acknowledge them and agree the smartest people should be fixing them.

        We have… a fire burning the world down, but it’s a slow burning overly painful flame that isn’t even pretty to look at, and you’re considered impolite for bringing it up and “playing politics” if you wanna try putting it out.

    Also, some lab monkeys escaped in Florida recently. So, it looks like we’ll be starting another trump presidency with another pandemic. It’ll probably wait until he eliminates the pandemic response team again before it hits.
