I never meet anyone who admits to being from Delaware. I would like to knock it off of my “states not visited” list, but it always seems to be out of the way, wherever I happen to be (as if the whole state were some mapmaker’s afterthought.) Nothing newsworthy ever happens there. When’s the last time Delaware showed up on the front page of the paper for anything? I am reluctantly drawn to the conclusion that Delaware does not exist.

And Trump takes credit for the vaccine. > **[Trump Takes Credit For Vaccine Created By Others, Including Immigrants](https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2020/12/01/trump-takes-credit-for-vaccine-created-by-others-including-immigrants/?sh=4dea3573374c)** > > Donald Trump cannot take credit for the vaccines. The record shows immigrants and immigrant-led companies created the vaccines. > In the Oval Office, Trump said, “The vaccines – and by the way, don’t let Joe Biden take credit for the vaccine. . . . Don’t let him take credit for the vaccines, _because the vaccines were me_.” (Emphasis added.) It seems to me that statement alone should mean that any references to Biden should be changed to Trump. ---

Well, if you keep diluting the mix over and over, eventually it will only contain a distant, vague memory of gibbonshit which will be just enough for the body to recognize the pathogen for defense purposes without suffering any harm from it. ---

No no, homeopathy would be if the Trumpism stupidity got stronger the more it was diluted. **eschereal** is suggesting that a tiny bit of Trumpism stupidity would be enough to innoculate someone against the stupidity without suffering any terrible effects. ETA: but I don’t think it works that way for many dupes. For them it’s like crack; They take a tiny bit of Trumpian stupidity at first, and then they crave more and more, taking higher and higher doses until they become a shambling shell of their former selves, with rotting brains. ---
