NEW Stupid Republican Idea of the Day (Part 4)

My boss and I finally had a chance to talk politics today. He’s very ok with what trump is doing. Every single bit of it. He is happy trump “splashed shit” on all the no kings protestors because they all deserve it for what they put trump through.

He’s a christian so I asked him if he really thought Jesus would be okay with what Ice is doing. He said there are borders in heaven to keep the devil and sinners out, so God must be okay with doing whatever it takes to keep them out.

I will never make a dent in his armor against truth.

One of the many things I can’t get my head around regarding Republican thought, is how someone who feels any form of patriotism towards the U.S. can think that the ideal representative of dignity and honor of our great nation is a president who posts memes of bombing his political opponents with shit.

Because their idea of patriotism includes only people who agree with them, and anyone dissenting is ipso facto not a real American and they deserve whatrever they get.

Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV)

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Floida first lady Casey DeSantis announces some of Florida’s $60 million cancer research grants will go to investigate if ivermectin cures cancer, because Mel Gibson said so on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

Well, I’d be wiĺling to pay a nominal fee to take out an ad in MAGA journals saying “NO!!!” in big bold letters.

These idiots don’t even seem to understand that “cancer” is not one disease. ANY sucessful treatment for one type (not that ivermectin is or is likely to be) cannot be assumed to be effective against other types. There’s never going to be a single treatment that “cures cancer”.

Yeah, I know, subtleties and science are clearly foreign words without meaning to them. But sometimes I just need to vent my anger at what they are doing to my beloved profession.

Really at this point it’s more “y’all ridiculed when T45 brought up ivermectin, so we’re going to rub it in your face every time we can just because we can”.

Hey, just because it was useless against covid-19 doesn’t mean Republicans can’t throw it at cancer, too! Maybe one of these times it will stick!

It’s gotten to the point that if every MAGAnut in America with cancer took ivermectin and nothing else, I not only wouldn’t care, I’d cheer. Pwn those libs! You do you.

Look what they made me do!

And with something non-contagious, like cancer, no one (outside of friends/family) would really care. At least not like they did during covid.

Come to think of it, I’m guessing a lot of them won’t risk their lives taking ivermectin for cancer if it’s not going to cause the left to get all riled up. I’m confident saying that a big part of the reason they were taking it for covid was specifically because of the outrage it caused. Even if they didn’t realize they were being lied to and manipulated by the Trump admin and being used as pawns to ‘own the libs’, it was still the case.

If you’re infected with a parasitic worm, and that worm has cancer, ivermectin may in fact remove the worm’s cancer from your body.

It seems to me there are several big R donors who just happen to be setting up ivermectin / cancer research efforts. Once they get the payoff, their Potempkin research village will disappear along with the cash.

A couple months later they’ll publish a report written by ChatGPT in 5 minutes flat and RFK will love it.

The grift goes on. Sung to the tune of …

Nope, some are True Believers

I found that out when I was undergoing cancer therapy and “helpful” people started haranguing me about using ivermectin instead of conventional chemo. Silly me, putting my faith in medicine and science rather than ivermectin and Jesus.

^ I have no doubt that there is truth in this statement.

Although not particularly covering Ivermectin or cancer, Tim Minchin’s “Storm” is appropriate. (Language warning)

Luke 16:26, but notably, it doesn’t actually say that there are borders around Heaven, just that there’s a barrier somewhere between Heaven and Hell. It could just as well be that it’s Hell that has the borders. And now, look at the US borders, and consider which side Lazarus is on, and which side the rich man. Your boss is actually trying to turn the US into Hell.

Misery loves…well, company, but also “making other people miserable.”

I’m not a believer, but if I can look up from purgatory to see this guy locked out of the “Holy Gates”, I will accept my eternal suffering.

I’ve not thought about that. I wonder if it would work with brain worms. Does Ivermectin cross the blood/squishy-gray-mass-that-lives-in-republican-heads barrier?
