Someone who understands what is going on:
Great thread by someone who really understands how one side of the propaganda machine works — the Repub/conservative side. The Dem/Lib side is different, however.

Podding
Oh you know it. This is all part of the larger “live in the pod and eat bugs” plan that’ll be overtaking the world soon enough. The pandemic has accelerated that, and much else bad, greatly.
MFO
Six Americans killed in peacekeeping force helicopter crash in Egypt.
Oh, that sucks. I served there; I was in the MFO. My beret changed from paratrooper maroon to MFO orange for that mission, and I got to fly in helicopters all over eastern Egypt. I saw some really amazing things there I will never forget.
Two Definitions of Impossible
Ebola vaccines were kept at -80 in DRC. Here’s my photo from Beni. They go from the big freezers, to the green Arktek canisters, to dry ice canisters in freezer boxes that are transported on motorbike down dirt roads.
Where there’s $$$, political will and a plan, there’s a way. https://t.co/5mA7mVFUuY pic.twitter.com/UTmOMgYx1L

Agreed, but assuming the US is as organized now as even a middling African nation is a bit of a stretch. We probably are not.
What’s “impossible” here is all too often easily possible in other countries.
Slurp
What could be more on-brand Democratic Party™ than bending over backwards to unite with & capitulate to McConnell & the GOP while they plotting a coup?

The Dems are so incompetent and worthless — that’s why it makes me laugh, the idea that they could steal an election.
They couldn’t even steal a fucking Slurpee from 7-11 on free Slurpee day.
Martial
By the way, those people panicking over a Biden mask mandate and a national lockdown: Biden cannot do either of those things without declaring martial law, which has a 0.000000000000001% chance of happening.
Otherwise, those decisions are handled at the state level, which means they will mostly stay the same as they are now under a Biden admin.
So many people like to complain and panic about the system of government without bothering to comprehend in the least how it works. I cannot fucking understand.
Gate
I thought the photos were fake…
This gator in Naples is massive 😳

No, that’s just Florida. It’s fairly big but I’ve seen larger in person. That one is 10-11 feet. I’ve seen one in the wild that was around 14 feet.
Meeting It
the interesting part of this to me is when he says “hard to be positive when that’s reality”, when the reality right in front of him only *just* got morphed by his reality distortion field.
It’s not reality that screwed him here, but the expectations that he has about reality https://t.co/VujX8KlzNf

What a loser. But he made himself one. All self-created.
I’m 5’8″ and post high schoool, I’ve never had a problem meeting women. That’s because I rule.
