*”We won with poorly educated, I love the poorly educated!”*

Trump supporters: i dun no wut dat means but make america grate agen 2020!!!1!
Good one!
@Rory Cannon you would have stopped eating those magic mushrooms will letting your big sister beat your brains out with a bat. Biden is riddled with dementia. He can’t string a cogent sentence he can’t remember how many points he’s talking about in a speech and after 2 months of screaming that Trump was a xenophobe for closing China out at the end of January he’s finally decided that Trump did a good thing.
@Montag theMagnificent you sound like you’re projecting a whole lot.
@andrew30 you must be talking about President Xi
@Robert Franz thinning the herd? Most people that are Dying are dying in democrat-run States. That’s why Democrats want write-in votes so they can get more illegal aliens to elect Democrats.
The fact that they have to say that CV isn’t a conspiracy is incredibly sad and a stark commentary on the mental health of our communities.
@Crystal Giddens Drank a lot of mercury when you were a kid, did ya?
@David Foster *< yet another stupid shallow comment. stupid shallow must never get old with you folks*
You do know the CIA came with term to shame ones that had questions about JFK murder….did the media get that right…HUMMMM
@Brian C the tests are actually just telling us who has a confirmed case. When the talk about the flattening the curve it is not going to happen for a while. There are people who are going to get tested tomorrow that have had symptoms for a month, but that case will get reported a a “new” case tomorrow. The curve could be flattening as we speak but there is no way to know.
Reporter uses the “C” word (conspiracy) while showing a color cartoon of the alleged virus. Too much.
Sane person: It’s a naturally occurring virus, like many others. It’s no different from other plagues that’ve occurred throughout history.
The MAGA person: It’s a conspiracy! Viruses don’t occur naturally! Open your eyes! Shakespeare made the black plague with Nikola Tesla in the basement of the Vatican with the help of Venusian/Nordic aliens! How are you so dumb?!
@whatthebleep Wait, so first its a story about the origins of a virus, and next its about orange man bad?
The typical viewer would’ve caught that inconsistency.
Not saying you’re MAGA, but…
@Debate Me! – There’s also, “Zero evidence” that you have a functioning prefrontal cortex. So there’s that.
@Debate Me! You’re making the same mistake bad TV writers make.
Willing suspension of disbelief is expected in fiction, but if they’ve established that next week the plot can go literally anywhere, with no boundaries, they lose the audience.
@Robert Franz no there’s tons of videos saying that it’s not man-made. In fact experts are saying that. However just because they’re experts doesn’t mean that everything they say it is true. I think what the experts are addressing are crazy unfounded conspiracy theories where people are walking around saying that this for a fact is a weapon. That’s nonsense and they’re using signs to the blanket. However while focusing on that singular topic they are saying some things that I do not believe to be accurate. This could be man-made we just don’t have any evidence to support that. A paragraph also notice the experts don’t make any attempt to prove that it’s not man-made. They specifically focus on where it came from I did not in any way if I lose weight that it may have came from somewhere else before that. Now if an expert tells me that it couldn’t have been man-made introduced into an animal and then Pastor human then I would accept that but they’re not even discussing that. They’re purely talking about it as if it was a virus that was created in a lab and then given to a human and their debunking that. However that’s only one way it could have originated. It could have been created by man introduced an animal and then passed from the animal to a human. And that could have been done specifically to cause the kinds of analysis that’s being done now which is people are focusing on the source of the virus without considering that they may be deeper layers to evaluate
I’m very good at what I do but I’m also human so I make mistakes.
@Debate Me!
Mankind can’t create a virus on its own. You need a virual source from somewhere. You were doing so good debunking conspiracies.
WAIT UNTIL THE PERMAFROST MELTDOWN HAS RELEASED MANY MICROBES OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE,WE AINT SEE NOTHING NEXT.
@Robert Franz WE HAVE A RESISTANCE TO SOMETHING THAT WAS IN THE ENVIRONMENT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO.?MAYBE,BUT WE ARE SEEING HOW MOTHER NATURE WILL KILL OFF AS MANY OF HER PARASITES AS IS POSSIBLE.
@Robert Franz BINGO,I DO HAVE A SIGHT IMPROVEMENT ISSUE WHICH IS APPARENTLY APPROPRIATE FOR OTHERS LIKE ME.
@none none – Right, there ya go. People are greedy because they need to eat, drink water, shelter. That was quite the rant about nothing.
@Gym Jordan’s Hairline ummm htey are one and the same
Agreed ! Who knows what’s under there
rush limbaugh, latest recipient of the Medal of Freedom…..that shows the level you have to strive for to receive one of those gold foil coated chocolate coins on a rope….smfh
@Isay Look yeah just like that Hogg boy from Florida that was going to destroy the Second Amendment. He was going to crush all our Souls too. Kids are puppets of the left used and tossed away. I actually pity that poor girl she’s got mental illness and her parents s h i l l e d her out as a puppet.
@Isay Look that’s some devastating insult, and the only people Greta impresses are lefties. What are you trying to say?
@LUIS VELEZ Democrats have been failing to do that for three years but you keep hope alive. And don’t forget bar in Durham are running a criminal investigation on Obama and killary they may be in prison cells a lot sooner than Trump
@complexadaptive you know you are the moral superior when wishing the demise of an entire country… you are beyond pathetic
@Earnest Lee Saddened Lemme guess, numpty: “Q” told you this was going to happen? Yeah Q aint real. As per not a single prediction having come true. You are in a cult, buddy.
Nature is having a shot back at us .
@MotoAtheist
Charles Darwin? A hippy.
Idiot.
@dave powers nature has no consciousness that can determine revenge or as been idiotically put “have a shot back at us”.
Certainly feels that way
@MotoAtheist
I believe that what the book is all about. Have you read it. Most likely not. Books are hard for an idiot.
Those “wet markets” are absolutely disgusting. Almost as disgusting as Rush Limbaugh…
Rush Limbaugh needs to step on a used heroin needle!
putting a plastic cork in your poocey, and then dying from smelly septic poocey shock is disgusting and gross.
That’s not very nice.
@Bat Boy ! 😁😂😂😹😹
Close these torture chambers down
Sunev Conway burn them with fire
close american slaughter houses
So are they shuttling them down? Nope they arent, is that a bat research building for coronaviruses yup it is! Do those doctors work for china? Yes they do!
The US is a big torture chamber now, thanks to trump
@于世杰 Everyone knows Trump sucks and is fucking up, so what? It doesn’t change the fact that China sanctions animal cruelty on a massive scale, and is causing these outbreaks in the process.
CLOSE THESE WET MARKETS!!!
Absolutely, boycott Chinese products or anything made there until they do.
@Cory S That’s not true, but nice try. Maybe your logical ability is hindered by lack of iron.
@Cory S Again conflating issues to suit your single issue.
I get my Lo Mein from there
@Melissa H my single issue?
“We endorse BAT BOY for president in 2020” – Weekly World News
@NJDFAN76 Rational thought is MAGAt repellent.
If there actually were a civil war, I’d ring my house with copies of Nature, if that didn’t stop them Science would be my back up, last ditch defense would be JAMA.
NO MAGAt could penetrate that.
Robert Franz yeah I guess you’re right about that
@dave powers – “Jennifer Aniston and Taylor Swift in bitter feud for love of BAT BOY!” – Weekly World News
The worlds only reliable news! 🤣
dave powers 😂
@Bat Boy
Awesome celebrity endorsements will go a long way.
Bat Boy 2020
Open market with live animals in overcrowded cages bitten by bat or maybe bat used to feed them then passed to humans most likely.
A few years back PBS showed asian open markets. They had a cage full of kittens maybe a year old all lined up by role an held in place by the neck. They all had their tounges out due to heat and thirst. Bet there was close to thirty in them for human consumption. Don’t forget asia lower wages, job competition makes it hard to get by!
Or any wild bat could’ve bitten one of the animals which humans handle and consume.
@Stephen Young they’re f*cked up a$$holes!
They traced one transfer of a bad disease to humans to bats that were eating mangoes and the uneaten parts fell and were eaten by pigs.
Same thing that happen in a slaughterhouse where cows are prepared for market
@Michael Byrne Here’s a link explaining the wet markets in China, they need to be shut down immediately. These monstrosities should be front page news. https://youtu.be/TPpoJGYlW54
You’re absolutely right Alex, millions of people are dying in the street because of chuck steak and T-Bones. Could you be a slightly larger asshat? We can still see your feet.
Cows can be eat , there is no problem is cows , are you a hindu defending cows or what, Its the insects, rats, bats, dogs , pigs and environmental disorder that is leading to this
@SRB SCIENTIST I believe Europeans proximity to cows is what led to smallpox. Cow pox gave us a vaccine though. Guess we break even on that one.
@SRB SCIENTIST Cows – Mad Cow Disease???
“Trust us.” -China
“Suspect everyone but us” – the Republican leadership
Current situation actually makes China the credible side. The same ppl accusing China are causing this disaster in China.
Let me guees a Trump fart after he ate chinese food right ? Call pelosi and schiff empeach him on the Fart
Dave D No. It really doesn’t. This is SARS 2020. Their government is terrible. They silenced everyone about this. Doctors and social media forums were actively being shut down by their Authoritarian control. Say what you want to about Trump. He deserves everything he gets. But the Chinese government is as corrupt as you will ever find. At least we have free press and speech, here.
CCP as dirty as UN, and WHO
After this one appreciate how the producers of Contagion researched this topic well and come up with realistic screenplay
springlumpy Noticed that too. In fairness the pandemic has been widely written about in science journals and governments responses to it have been tested and found wanting in simulations, reports written etc. President Plague was even given a briefing on the correct responses.
Maybe wet markets aren’t such a great idea going forward🤔
And yes very similar to how the virus in the 2011 movie “Contagion” started. Steven Soderbergh your a genius.
… and it starts with the crazy and lunatic Rush Limbaugh who ironically was awarded with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by our clueless president….
It’s hard for you to stay on topic isn’t it.
So why is China and the World Health Organization covering this up
@Shadow People That’s a good question, I’m sure someone will tell you that Trump told them to.
@Shadow People You should ask Trump. After all he claimed to be the first one to know this was a pandemic: “This is a pandemic, (…) I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.” But wait a minute, he also said: Trump Jan. 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”; Trump Jan. 30: “We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five — and those people are all recuperating successfully. But we’re working very closely with China and other countries, and we think it’s going to have a very good ending for us … that I can assure you.” ; Trump Feb. 10: “Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do — you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. We’re in great shape though. We have 12 cases — 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now.” Trump Feb. 23: “We have it very much under control in this country.”
.. and let’s not forget that this is a Hoax, right?
@46zztop Well these people said we had nothing to worry about too https://twitter.com/i/status/1245385767729463297
[JEOPARDY ] Contestant: “Coronavirus for $100” Alex: “ The intermediate host animal needed by a bat to complete the viral jump to humans.” Contestant: “ What is a pig” Alex: “ Be more specific.” Contestant: “ what is Rush Limbaugh”
MetalWenchie
Nice. You forgot the question marks though.
get lost
Gosh you’re dumb. What tears? You don’t like people insulting Rush Limbaugh? Why would you care? Why so butthurt snowflake? Limbaugh is an idiot.
Dam good laugh thanks.
Wrong wench, the correct answer is what are cats? And as far as pigs are concerned you must be wearing a snout on your face.
MetalWenchie that would be “who” who is rush Limbaugh 🤣😂😅🤪 sorry…
