It is gruesomely fascinating to watch a country devolve itself in realtime
I expect that to be the objective: outsource CDC work to commercial labs from people who pay Trump a kickback.
Or just being able to brag that the official rate has dropped to zero...
Why is the Epstein Class so keen on killing people?
1. Koch Network funded covid disinformation & anitvaxxer Ideology because it wants to end democracy.

2. Tim Mellon funds RFK Jr because the Mellon/Scaife dynasty has a long history of being eugenicists & xenophobes.

@mcnado Who is going to be the first person to die of rabies?
No one should have to type that sentence in 2026, but here we are.
When I was one of hundreds affected by an outbreak of food-borne cryptosporidium, someone from the CDC called me. They were tracing everyone who had reported symptoms, and then contacting everyone else who might have eaten the food and urging them to get tested….impressive work!
I fear those days are long over.
This is why you don't let people who believe in the biblical rapture into power. They're a death cult, that's it.
I also read #RaptureReady but I do it for the laughs and to some extent to understand how death cults think and act. I've been an atheist since I was in 6th grade so no, Jesus isn't returning at some point, any point, ever. But you do you my friend!
@jarinks
Okay. But you're not talking about Trump fighting only those left-leaning Sermon-on-the-hill Christians, those who are worshipping that empathic brown-skinned guy who was preaching about kindness and sharing and solidarity? He'll also fight those very same true Christian believers that are now praying there with him and for him?
Thanks for the information. I'll keep an eye on that.
@mycotropic @mcnado
You know that Norman Vincent Peale was his family pastor and that he learned from Roy Cohn as well, right? He isn't going after Christians, he's using them specifically based on Project 2025, his upbringing and his narcissism. He couldn't care less about them or anyone else but he knows a good, pliant, sycophantic source of storm troopers when he sees one.
Yikes.
Thoughts and prayers!
That was good enough, 3000 years ago, for people who had never heard of a molecule or a bacterium, who thought exciting travel was when the donkey gallops for a hundred cubits, who'd never heard of an ocean or a planet, who thought flies "spontaneously generated" and fossils were tricks by a deceitful and bad-tempered God, who saw that "government" meant impaling or crucifying... in other words, back in The Good Old Days.
So why expect more now? Liberals!
@mcnado which is well beyond red alert, alarms blaring, nuclear fucking meltdown bad.
Cannot fucking wait for VRSA to develop a new strain. Good fucking luck finding out before it's entrenched and endemic.
