    Hey, they know what they’re drinking, it’s all natural and they have an immune system!

    Why do plagues surface every time Donald takes office? Strange that Christians ignore these signs.

      “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭15‬-‭17‬

      This verse pops into my mind when fellow “Christians” praise Trump. It saddens me that they are happy to help a crook and a rapist into power, all because “the Democrats are worse.” Elect a more morally upstanding republican then! Why does it have to be THIS guy?

      I question if they ever actually read the Bible with an open mind… after all, wasn’t Satan the one to tempt Jesus with earthly political power? Even if Dems were worse, didn’t Christ call us to love our enemies? They’ve completely lost the plot, and then wonder why the Western church is in decline.

        It’s very that. Too many people here are like, “fundies OBVIOUSLY don’t understand their own bible fwah fwah,” when no, they totally do and they’re actually really into all that End Times shit. Oceans warming up? Woo-hoo we’re on our way to boiling! Another plague? Sweet! Another sign! Does this one have lesions? Christian Fundies have worked hard for their end times, doing their part to make the laws of god into the laws of man on earth.

        Our planet on fire is literally their best case scenario (and exactly why they can’t be trusted in any kind of public office). They know who Trump is. The imperfect vessel or the antichrist - it’s just another sign to check off the list. I wish I was being hyperbolic.

          I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church and I remember the preacher standing in front of the whole church preaching about why we need to support Israel because rebuilding the temple is required for Armageddon. They read Revelations and want to experience it, rather than fear it.

            The religions we grew up in are similar. Bethel Pentecostal village in the middle of nowhere in my case, and my family were the outsiders (teh devils!) who moved there for cheap housing.

            I’m sorry you had to sit in church and listen to that. It’s terrifying for kids to experience the adults who are supposed to take care of them, giddy/possessed over the world ending.

            I didn’t learn about their Israel obsession until my 20s. Christians moving to Israel so they can plant olive trees because it’ll help the world end absolutely blew my mind.

      Because, due to their logic destroying upbringing and reinforcement in adult social settings, they have perfected the ability to explain away every obvious, inconvenient fact within the framework of a network of conspiracy theories utilizing magical thinking that they invent or adapt on the fly to justify themselves never being fundamentally wrong or ignorant.

      People seem to either be forgetting or just not be aware that Q Anon did not die.

      It morphed into a conspiracy infused, new form of Christian fundamentalism, where Donald Trump is literally a messianic figure doing God’s will. He was prophecied by modern prophet/preachers, and if any of their prophecies were erroneous, that is because literal demons intervened on Earth, and a supernatural battle is currently taking place on Earth.

    I’m 100% for raw milk. I hope some one is setting up a centralized nation wide distribution ready to go live the second it’s legal, and I hope everyone who wants it can get it at the same time before any news can spread.

      Rightwingers don’t believe in any problem until it directly affects them. They won’t understand why we have modern medicine and health regulations until they personally feel the effects of having taken it all away. And even then many of them still won’t.

        And even then many of them still won’t.

        I know one example personally of an older trumpthumper who insists he got subpar treatment at the hospital when he had covid and had to go on a ventilator because the staff held it against him that he wasn’t vaccinated.

        Not being vaccinated made his covid more severe not because of his age and lack of an immune response, but because those damn liberal hospital doctors refusing him their top level of service out of spite for his political beliefs.

          If you don’t get your car’s oil changed for years and then go into the mechanic because your engine seized up, yeah they’re gonna hold your own idiocy against you.

      When men were men, women were property, black people were property, Irish people were black people, and we had just curb stomped our first country full of brown people.

      A man could just pick up and go to a new town and call himself a doctor, sell some random bullshit to whoever, and leave before the consequences could catch up to him.

    It comes as California has reported 29 confirmed human cases of bird flu since early October, primarily stemming from cows, according to CDPH. Of those cases, 28 had direct contact with infected cows, all cases had mild symptoms that were primarily eye infections, and none required hospitalization.

    “No person-to-person spread of bird flu has been detected in California or the U.S [yet!!],” the news release said.

    Emphasis is mine, but pink eye for everyone sounds like it’s going to be amazing. An anti-vaccine Health Department seems like the perfect sequel to the COVID ball drop/denial of the first admin.

    Rampant infectious disease, tariffs, and mismanagement on everything are exactly the changes needed to help every American. /s

      A bacterium like E. coli is about 1000nm wide and 2000-6000nm long. Influenza viruses are 80-120nm in size.
