    Definitely wasn’t prepared for a sequel to COVID. You think Trump learned any lessons the first time around? I might preemptively buy shares in a company that manufactures an unrelated de-wormer medicine just in case.

        I totally forgot that perspective.

        Trump presided over COVID and appointed RFK? That is so unreal.

      Ivermectin & jelly sandwiches are the bomb! Much more healthy than peanut butter.

      Yes he did. He will outlaw testing this time around and they make sure his cdc and health cezar doesn’t report the deaths.

    Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

    Mystery illness, flu like, dozens dead. Hmm, wonder if a lock-down could help curtail this? Nah

        I can understand forgetting history that is hundred(s of) years ago, but we just came out of a pandemic and we as a species learned nothing.

        don’t forget Donny about to take the reigns.
