What frustrates me is this is going to back up my parents end times bs. Wars and diseases and natural disasters. The Bible foretold it!

And you fucking voted for all of it. Is it really a prophecy if the followers push for it all to happen?

[-] DrFistington@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago

Ask them what happened to the people in the Bible that worshipped false idols and praised the anti-christ.

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 days ago

They will just claim the idols aren't false.

Ask me how I know. >_<

[-] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Oh, this is absolutely accurate. The golden Trump statues, the worship, the plagues and war, and famine.

I'm an atheist, but fucked if it doesn't match the Christian list.

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago

If the end times are artificially created, they still fulfill the prophecy.

this is literally the basis of a lot of american christianity, especially the christian brands of zionism most evangelical megachurches practice. yes. according to them at least.

There are plenty of fanatics who work to make those prophecies come true.

We are a lovely little joke to the rest of the world.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 45 points 5 days ago

We are going from a country that had an economy that was the envy of the world to a shithole country in short order.

[-] konsumate@feddit.org 2 points 5 days ago

Both go together

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 20 points 5 days ago

I mean, Texas had always been a bit of a joke...

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago

There's a reason why the saying in Norway "it's completely Texas", meaning it's total madness.

[-] DrFistington@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Texas is like a mule with a spinning wheel. Completely fucking worthless

[-] zer0squar3d@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah, they only have a lone star rating.

[-] ploot 19 points 5 days ago

No, you're a menace to the rest of the world.

[-] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

That too, unfortunately

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 14 points 5 days ago

Yeah, an Aristocrats joke.

[-] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

That does track. Magats do like to fuck their family members, and animals

[-] NotLemming@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

Gallows humour

What else can be said? It's going to get worse. Things have to get so much worse, until Trump fulfills his promise: "We're gonna win so much you may even get tired of winning and you'll say 'Please, please. It's too much winning. We can't take it anymore. Mr. President, it's too much.'"

This is what winning looks like to him.

[-] vaguerant@fedia.io 45 points 5 days ago

"We're getting these babies now--strong, American babies--these babies are at temperatures, big numbers, numbers we haven't seen for 60 years here. Yesterday I had... a baby came to me, tears in his eyes, he said 'Sir'--these tough babies call me sir, have you noticed that?--he said 'Sir, you're giving us something in this country that we haven't had in generations.' People are saying they've never seen this before. We brought it back."

[-] DrFistington@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

I guarantee you'll be able to see the inside of his skull on live television before the end of the year

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

"This is going to be great television."

-Oh, somebody

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

At this rate, donvict should make another fake branch of the government like "doge" and call it Ministry of Winning.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

AKA Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 17 points 5 days ago

Great job by the new health secretary.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

"Heckuva job, ~~Brownie~~ Bobby".

[-] qprimed@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 days ago

katrina shaped tears for the whole fucking country.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

Jesus Christ: “I want nothing to do with this.”

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 16 points 5 days ago

"Jesus, take the whe..."

"NO."

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

Jesus tucked and rolled about 40 miles back.

[-] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 days ago

Meanwhile, God's re-living His glory days. After 2020, He's still having fun bringing back various versions of Plague, and has realised that some of the oldies like measles still slap.

As of 2022 He's got War going again too. And this year wouldn't you know it, despite an early attempt to revamp a classic with cyber warfare and drones, folks have leaned into retro Daseinskampf, Anschluss, and Aktivismus vibes. Kids these days!

Things are going so well, it looks like he's gonna move Famine from a limited to a global release in the near future.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 9 points 5 days ago

Said anyone seeing that title.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 40 points 5 days ago

Oh, FFS.

Meanwhile, Bobby Brainworm - is he still pitching vitamin A?

[-] ExtravagantEnzyme@lemm.ee 32 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Yep, as of this week at least... For some background, Vitamins A, D, E, and K are the fat-soluble vitamins. This means overdosing on them can take quite a long time to fully recover from. Excessive Vitamin A can result in significant liver, bone, central nervous system, and skin damage, as well as hair loss. But I've not once heard RFK say anything about dosage, which is idiotic for someone in his position. Vitamin A's primary role for humans involves regulating cell/tissue growth and differentiation. Vitamin A's main prescription usage is for cystic or nodular acne under the brand name Accutane. Accutane's dosage needs to be very dialed in, so much so that the patients using it must get monthly blood work, if not bimonthly or weekly. Additionally, women must agree to not get pregnant on Accutane, as it leads to severe birth defects and other pregnancy complications. But sure, the dude in charge of the department of health sees no need to say anything about dosage, just that taking Vitamin A is helpful for measles while there's an exceptional vaccine readily available...

[-] Benjaben@lemmy.world 22 points 5 days ago

Listen nerd, that was a lotta words. Nothing that matters takes that many words to say.

You can tell Vitamin A is good cuz it's the first one. We need to get back to basics in this country. You ever heard of a kid getting too many A's?

Git yer fiddly science outta my child-rearin!

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 5 days ago

mmmm polar bear livers

[-] ooterness@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Vitamin S (tm). That's one better than Vitamin A.

[-] takeda@lemm.ee 8 points 5 days ago

Apparently vitamin A can help with measles, but that's, helpful when you get it. It won't help preventively, which is the most likely way (and likely in large quantities) those people will be taking it.

[-] valtia@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

iirc it's also only helpful if you're already deficient in vitamin A, which the majority of Americans aren't. It's the same thing with Ivermectin: it looked like it was helpful for covid in aggregate, but only in developing countries where parasites are common. So, treating someone's parasites with a horse dewormer made the person healthier overall and meant their immune system could commit more resources to fighting covid, but someone without parasites (meaning the majority of Americans) would get absolutely no benefit.

[-] prole 2 points 4 days ago

Of course it can, that's how these people operate. There will almost always be a kernal of truth buried under miles of bullshit.

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

lol, remember when all the christofascists called us babykillers?

and how every accusation a fascist makes is a confession, because of how their brains are broken?

they fucking told us they were going to do this. they've been telling us they wanted this longer than I've been alive, and I have a not insubstantial count of white hairs. nobody stopped them. this is all of our fault for not treating this shit like the mental illness it always was.

[-] Tronn4@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Go ~~Brandon~~ Orange Turd

[-] BarbudoGrande@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Maybe we need a, "Let's go Donald" sticker

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

It was "lets go Brandon"
