A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 3)

I bet he’s gonna be so damn healthy he’ll insist on running HHS himself. RFK Jr. can just go eat roadkill or something.

I’m an atheist, but if he drops dead within a couple days after his perfect medical results are released I will repent.

They meant that he has a good “sole” – nearly sixty years later, his bone spurs have finally healed up.

And now the linked story is “unavailable”. Hmm… :thinking:

I searched on one of the Xits and found this:

The results are in…

The memo noted that the president’s “joints and muscles have a full range of motion”, while crediting his good health to an active lifestyle, including “frequent victories in golf events”.

…or the frequent one-man bomb-shelter deployments during golf.

Shoot. You have to win at golf to get exercise? Bad news for me.

Cataracts, rosacea, and diverticulosis, it says.

That certainly explains a few things.

Some headlines are so perfect that they require no further commentary.

Conspiracies
Mitchell is a conspiracy theorist, voicing his belief that SARS-CoV-2 was created in a lab by the U.S. government and deliberately released, and that the U.S. government stages mass shootings to advance a gun confiscation agenda. He has also criticized the Federal Reserve as a “corrupt institution” that is manipulating the value of the U.S. dollar. He is also a flat Earther and believes that gravity is a hoax. In 2024, he indicated that he would homeschool his son because he did not want him to be a Communist, to worship Satan, or to be gay. In July 2024, Mitchell called Elon Musk a false prophet and potential antichrist, and his company Tesla a “scam.”

As I like to say, nuttier than an entire bowl of nut filled, nut covered, nuts.
But, strangely, he’s completely right about Musk!

That’s a new one on me.

Well, if one gets hit and choked out a few times, I’d expect their likelihood of believing nutty things and recording country rap records increases.

It’s an aspect of flat-eartherism. The idea that massive bodies attract one another is a hoax by evil atheist scientists to hide the fact that Earth is a special place created by God - instead there’s just some sort of cosmic “down” which all objects fall towards.

Relative density disequilibrium.

It’s Hell, right? It has to be Hell.

I haven’t heard that one yet but it wouldn’t surprise me. Modern flat-eartherism is basically Biblical literacy - the Earth is a disc encased by a dome, stars are circles in the dome, the sun and moon are the same size and about 50 miles away at most and both revolve around earth along with the other planets (which are round because they aren’t special and the center of the universe like Earth is), etc. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it combined with hollow-earthism where Hell is literally beneath the surface or on the underside with lava being literal hellfire.

Just this morning Facebook Reels presented me someone making that claim. She resembled a science popularizer I respect, so I clicked on it, but instead it was another woman arguing gravity doesn’t exist (illustrated with a hand boiler, which was especially stupid, ignoring the physics of heat transfer into the bargain). Complete with the old canard “The ‘elites’ don’t want you to know this!” It’s all explained by “buoyancy” and “density differential.” Science-literate commenters pointed out that the equation for buoyancy has a g right in the middle of it. And you know what that “g” stands for, kids? All together…

Gehovah? :slight_smile:

Some of the logical conniptions these people go through are amazing. I’ve heard that the ISS is on Earth and has some kind of machine that lets the astronauts float, that nobody has ever actually been to space, that the Challenger exploded because it flew too high and crashed into the firmament, that all commercial pilots are in on the conspiracy and are sworn to silence, and that air travel itself is a hoax and they just teleport you to the destination.

Sad to say, but I’m on a number of flat earth and YEC forums, and about 80% of the believers there are MAGA (to varying levels of devotion), and the remaining 20% are completely uninterested in politics and don’t vote. IME

It’s exactly the same “common sense” at play in all these things.
