Notice how people like Whitey answer every awkward question with a question?

But what about?

The German satire site "Der Postillion" came up with a work of simple genius (translated below):


Terrible suspicion: Was Trump bred in a Chinese laboratory to harm the United States?

Washington (dpo) - It sounds far-fetched - and according to experts, it cannot be ruled out: More and more people suspect that Donald Trump may not have come to exist randomly, but was bred in a Chinese laboratory to cause serious damage to the United States.

"The Chinese government is now acting as if it has nothing to do with the situation in the United States," explains a user on the Facebook page Corona Truthers. "But is it really a coincidence that we now have a man in the White House who can hardly speak English and does everything possible to undermine a unified response to the crisis?"

Trump's physical appearance is also fuelling speculation: Some suspect that the US President's unlikely complexion and jumbled hairstyle are due to the fact that Chinese scientists have no precise idea of what people from western cultures actually look like.

Already demands for damages are being issued to China - demands which the People's Republic is categorically rejecting.

Serious scientists are rather cautious: "So far, we assume that Trump was created naturally. However, we cannot rule out 100% his development in a Chinese laboratory," explains biochemist Celine Smith-Garcia from the University of Washington.

A blame-game is inappropriate anyway. "Currently, the most important task for the international community is to contain the consequences of Donald Trump as much as possible and to ensure that not too many people die because of him."

So the big business man was president whenever oil prices were nearly MINUS $40 dollars a barrel.

Thought he got the Russians and the Saudis together to sort this out.

Gonna do a deal and it'll be the best deal ever...

No one knows more about paying people to take oil than me...


That sound about right?

What is wrong with America as a country? When did it become this mental between Rep & Dem / Libs & Cons??

When President Obama took over the Republicans went off the deep end which led to the emergence of the Tea Party. Most "moderate" Republicans then vered further right to avoid getting primaried.

Then when Trump got elected, the Democrats version of the Tea Party Emerged with AOC and Ilan Omar being the public face who just oppose everything and vilify anyone who isn't in complete agreement with them on everything

It's got an end of days feel about it, last days of the Roman Empire.

It's got an end of days feel about it, last days of the Roman Empire.

It really does.

(At least) one of two things seem inevitable at this point:

1. Split of both Democrats & GOP into at least 3, possibly four parties
2. Break up of the USA

It cannot keep polarising as it has been without significant consequences.

Well, they were mostly countries before the USSR and largely went back to being the same countries.

Big difference being that they are minor players on the Democratic side.

I had to switch off the evening news last night, looking at those brainless fuckwits, some armed to the teeth, out demonstrating with their signs for Trump and calling the virus a hoax and hurling abuse at a healthcare worker out counter demonstrating.

I've nothing in common with these people. Where do you start with a group whose mentality is to falsely invalidate and dismiss any science or expertise that conflicts with their political view?

Fox News, having found that there are few doctors willing to toe the right wing line are now wheeling out the likes of Dr Phil, nothing but a pop psychologist, to tell the world that the shutdowns are all overkill. Or that other eejit, Dr Oz, supposedly a trained cardiologist, told us on Fox that a 2% mortality rate would be worth it to get kids back to school ( he later tried to backtrack).

There's a fracture coming. Particularly with the electoral college and the Senate. They can control both those and thus the courts for decades with a minority of the vote and there has to be a backlash to their fucked up view of the world being imposed on the majority sooner or later.
