Trump Is the Virus, But the GOP Is the Host

And fox news is the decades of smoking and drinking and eating crap that weakened our immune system and let the virus in.

Well, a mask won't help against Trumpvid, but you CAN be inoculated with a fake Golden Idol Bust lapel pin. But then you have to pretend around work and friends that you have it anyway.

But with a pin you can pass for a white man, and that's good enough. Kinda like back in the racist 1950's that rwingers love so much... you know, when a ------- could pass sometimes and greasers knew their place.

Maybe this summer of recession they'll even bring back separate drinking fountains for whites and blacks. And browns. And gays. Women who've had abortions. Women who are smarter and more successful than they are.

No water available for trans or liberals.

Those are going to be really big signs! Expensive, too. But no worries. Republicans own a big water and sign company to privatize the public water. Which is diverted from California by Executive Order because hey, they are California Commies.

Even after he finally dies, we have the fascist Heritage Foundation party to reckon with

"Should you find yourself the victim of other peoples bitterness, ignorance, smallness, or insecurities, Remember this, things could be much worse. You could be one of them!"
It could be worse, you could be one of them!"

Amy Rees Anderson

or, given the season:

"Unity Through Humility

"Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others."

Philippians 2, 1-3 = Paul's writing.

Unfortunately, but as predicted, many Christians have fallen away from the Christ. And towards the Antichrist.

The actual virus is called TDS, and up to 21% of the population is afflicted.

Trump Devotion Syndrome... actually in steep decline among most voters.

He's so underwater he can't see the boat.

XPians are waiting for their antichrist while *ews are waiting for their moshiach.
it would be in the interest of efficiency for them to coincide.

The main reason I no longer vote republican, they enable and support the felon 47. In my eyes they have lost all credibility as long as trump is in office.

Yeah, it's weird how Trump Cultists 'think' that their comments about what the other Party might do are relevant when they voted for a lying criminal traitor.

Not much the Dems could do that would be worse than that.
