The US Response to the Pandemic Has Been An Unmitigated Disaster

It was definitely Obama’s fault! Trump does the opposite of what Obama does, and must unravel everything Obama set up. See, if Obama had handed the Ebola thing poorly, Trump would have handled this well. If Obama hadn’t set up a pandemic response team, Trump would have set one up, just to do the opposite of Obama.

So, by being a competent, non-corrupt, well prepared president, Trump, ipso fatso, has to become the opposite.

You used the wrong word there.

Well, maybe in your simple two-dimensional chess mind…

Last weekend my house caught fire.

As a Republican, I responded by taking to my front lawn and holding forth for two hours about how it was really the house across the street that was on fire, and what a crappy house that house across the street is,wondering aloud if so-called “fire” is actually even a thing, and giving myself 10/10 for my house only being on fire a little bit.

Then I ran into the blazing structure to install batteries in some of the smoke alarms, and to accuse Obama of stealing the old batteries, which I uninstalled, myself, back in 2018. Who can stand all that noise?

Finally, I put out some of the fire on the front porch that was visible from the street, and, ignoring the fact that the rest of my house was fully involved, ordered my wife and kids to move back in.

I blame Democrats and foreigners for the heat and smoke.

So much winning!

^ That’s a quality post right there, folks!

What?

No clever remarks about the kungflagration?

So, how much of the crap that is fueling the Covidiots is coming from Russian bots? They’ve proven that they don’t really care who is elected, they only care about creating division in the American populace. What better way to fan the flames than to fire up the anti-maskers with ITS AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION! ITS YOURE RITE NOT TO WARE A MASK!

When the firefighters finally showed up, did they scream about their FREEDUMB!!! being infringed upon when the captain told them to don their safety gear and masks?

There’s your problem. If we want to cut down on house fires, we should all be taking the batteries out of our smoke alarms.

The real takeaway from this disaster, is that it’s really a bad idea to let delusional rural dipshits have out-sized electoral power.

Seriously tho, that’s the best thing I’ve read in weeks.

Or, as I’ve pondered in other threads, that we need to dismantle right wing media so that without it, those delusional dipshits will be less (perhaps much less) delusional.

Oh definitely. I don’t think rural people are inherently stupid, it’s just that RW media has created a bubble there that stokes fear about other people, and carries with it genuinely stupid policy positions.

What is needed is a way to completely disconnect those misinformed and incurious dipshits from Russian propaganda. If right wing media ceased to exist, they’ll simply find another way to spread propaganda.

Yeah, that’s called education.

Why do you think the Republicans are against it?

Meme of the day*-
Science fact: A dog gets more factual information from sniffing another dog’s ass than a human gets from watching Fox News.

*yeah, I know, it’s pretty old but it made me laugh.

If the firefighter can’t successfully battle the blaze with his bare hands, then he was probably old and weak and would’ve died soon anyway so he doesn’t count.
