yarr
To keep this in context, this was a softball discussion with Trump from 2019 where he made some stupid throwaway comment about some supposed commonalities between the USA and Italy. If this annoys you THIS BADLY I don’t know what to say. Pick like any of the 50 things Trump did this week and they are more relevant than this trashy article.
A wise man once told me “you must choose your battles” and for me, this is one of those times. This is such low stakes stuff compared to all the other crap he is doing. Don’t let some lazy journalist distract you with this crap today. Look at some ACTUAL nasty things going on, like Trump talking about reducing Social Security. Save your rage for when it matters. If you let every lazy article that misquotes Trump rustle your jimmies like this, it’s going to be wildly unproductive.
You know, I fucking hate Trump but I prefer to save my outrage about things he actually said and did. If you really wanna dunk on him, this ain’t the time. Look at the actual quote:
“The United States and Italy are bound together by a shared cultural and political heritage dating back thousands of years to Ancient Rome.”
I mean, I can’t really disagree with that. I’m fucking SICK of journalists converting everything into clickbait. You want some things to be angry about? Here’s some ACTUAL shit he did the same week:
-
October 16, 2019: During a meeting with congressional leaders about the situation in Syria, President Trump reportedly referred to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a “third-grade politician,” leading to Pelosi and other Democratic leaders walking out of the meeting.
-
October 17, 2019: At a campaign rally in Dallas, Texas, President Trump criticized the ongoing impeachment inquiry, labeling it a “witch hunt” and attacking political opponents, which some viewed as inflammatory rhetoric.
-
October 18, 2019: President Trump announced a “permanent” ceasefire in Syria and lifted sanctions on Turkey. Critics argued that his decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria had enabled Turkish military actions against Kurdish forces, leading to regional instability.
If you want to be annoyed about Trump, there’s plenty of actual shit he does. No need to make up shit just to get clicks. Fuck you lazy journalists!
WHUT? I thought Trump was just going to kick out all the illegals and fuck over China! No one told me there would be DOMESTIC consequences!! Why didn’t anyone warn me? At all his rallies he said the next 4 years would be awesome. Now I’m starting to think I was misled!
If this trend continues, by 2073 100% of youth will completely agree with it.
You think that’s bad? Every April I have to hand the country I live in a bunch of papers with numbers on them just to exist. If I don’t, they send men with guns. How crazy is that?
OH YEAH? Then why does it say “In God We Trust” on our money? GOTCHA!!!
If the polio vaccine happened today:
“Salk’s Menace” Vaccine Spreads Fear
As the nation’s newly adopted vaccine against poliomyelitis, the inactivated poliovirus (IPV) shot, began to circulate, reports of its alleged dangers were already being touted by concerned citizens.
“This is just another example of Big Pharma trying to control our bodies,” declared Agnes Johnson, a local mother of five, who claimed she had “lived” with the symptoms of the vaccine. “I’ve been hearing stories from friends and family of children who suffered from ‘long-term’ effects” from receiving the shot.
At a recent public health meeting in Brooklyn, Dr. John Smith, a prominent anti-vaxxer, presented his research on what he called “the true story” behind the IPV. He alleged that Salk had “tainted” the vaccine with experimental ingredients, and that the vaccine was being aggressively pushed by government agencies to cover up its supposedly disastrous effects.
“I’ve seen patients come in with symptoms that were clearly caused by the ‘new’ shot,” Dr. Smith said, his voice filled with conviction. “We’re being told it’s just a minor risk, but I’m telling you, this is not safe.”
As the vaccine continued to gain acceptance across the country, another vocal critic, Rev. John Williams, took to the pulpit to warn of the alleged dangers of mass vaccination. “We are being herded onto the ‘tragedy’ of the Salk shot,” he declared to a packed church. “We must stand up against this medical monolith and reject the experimental treatments.”
Meanwhile, health officials were left scrambling to address the growing public outcry, as reported cases of vaccine-induced illness began to rise. As the nation’s top medical leaders struggled to counter the growing misinformation, Dr. Salk himself was quick to respond. “The science is on our side,” he said in a recent press conference. “We are confident that our vaccine will do more good than harm.”
Despite this reassurance, anti-vaxxers remained resolute in their claims of a government-led conspiracy, citing the supposedly “mysterious” circumstances surrounding the vaccine’s development and distribution.
As the debate over the new vaccine continues to rage, one thing is certain: the battle over public health will not be won by the voices of reason, but by the loudest and most fervent of critics. The true story of Salk’s menance is just beginning to emerge – stay tuned for further updates.
