    Trump retains his support, not in spite of being a corrupt, deceitful bigot, but because of it. He, isn’t the issue, it’s that when millions of Americans are asked to behave like adults, they don’t know how to.

    I expect a beating for writing this. China deserves more recognition for providing an early warning to the world about a very odd new contagion, a wealth of useful info for big pharma to leap into creating vaccines based on the genetic sequencing and its morphology. COVID is nothing like seasonal flu or common cold. It’s highly contagious during the incubation period of 14 days. Despite early errors of judgement, *China gave the world everything needed to save lives.* If Dump had done his job, many hundreds of thousands of victims would have lived. China and most Asian cultures are very sensative to bull horn criticism yet soft diplomacy does work. Compare the death toll of west asia and asia to America, Canada and EU. Asia got COVID and followed pandemic plans and it was a relatively minor problem. The US (Dump) has all of the diplomatic skills of the Black Death. With the exception of Dump, the world was waiting for a major pandemic.

    I hear that when Trump dies they intend to bury him 100 feet underground.
    Apparently deep down he is a very nice person.

    Great to the point satirical humour once more, this is something right wing mentalities totally fail at due to stilted limited thinking.
    Just look at Fox News presenters it’s something they are incapable of doing or understanding.
    Great job Tooning Out The News! 🙂

    Honestly… no, considering what they could have charged and how desperate the world was for this. They Could have easily taken advantage, instead it was $20 per veil and each had enough for 7 shots. Clearly priced to be affordable on a mass scale!

    The “Hit the ball hard” bit reminded me of a Fantastic 4 fan fic I read once. Reed and Johnny volunteered to coach a high school baseball team. Reed treated it like a university level physics class and quoted Newton’s Laws of motion while writing a complicated equation on the board that just confused the players. Johnny saved it with “What he means, kids, is you should hit the ball very hard.”

    “It’s funny to me that it took the oversight board to do it.” In fact the oversight board simply approved Facebook’s action AND stated that Facebook could not do this indefinitely without clarifying their justification. So you guys that wrong. Further, aren’t you happy that they created an independent board with final say on decisions like this? Or were you happy with the big unaccountable corporation making secret decisions without review or transparency? Be consistent. (Do your homework before making pronouncements)

    Facebook is a private organization; The 1st Amendment doesn’t apply. If Trump wants complete freedom of speech on “social media”, nothing is preventing him from creating his own damn company.

    Clearly nobody here cares that the current president is unfit to do his job. Or the fact he is being used by corrupt politicians. Elder abuse more like. Something those doing it will never take accountability for. Move on from the big orange already. Literally not important to talk about.

    “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” I admire that quote. It embodies freedom of speech. Somewhat emboldening one to say they feel. A foreseeable future, freedom of speech is censored, blocked, banned, deleted etc. Alas, history has proven, ignorant sheep are easy to lead. C’est la vie…

    And the fifth angel poured out the vial upon the seat of the Beast and darkness came into his kingdom; the people gnawed their tongues for pain. REV 16:10
    :surprised that this prophecy has not come true yet, but it will. One solar flare or an EMP and the whole house of cards comes down. The kingdom of nothingness (internet/ world wide web) that we have built our economy and lives on will crumble. Chaos will rule.

    I deleted my Facebook account. You can too. Just google “how to delete facebook account”, and you will get the instructions. I opened a new window with facebook, and jumped between windows to follow the steps. It was actually very easy to do, and now they have one less account to manipulate. So, I really “did them a favor” by getting rid of the account. I am not the type of person they want anyway!
