This time last year, it was Tom Cotton, Steve Bannon and those doorknobs at the Epoch Fail — uh, sorry, Epoch Times — pushing the 100% evidence-free “Wuhan Lab Leak” conspiracy batshittery, and the Washington Post — along with anyone else with two synapses to rub together — were laughing that shit right outta the room.

So, this past week, it was with more than a little begrudging awe that I watched the Democratic Party, the Washington Post, CNN, Wall Street Journal and friends slam on the brakes, jerk the wheel around, kick in the afterburners and execute a full 180° Emergency Bat-Turn on the Wuhan Lab Leak zaniness. China’s the new Enemy Of The Month, and Gropin’ Joe needs some dirt on China, so they’re dragging Steve Bannon’s dirty hot mess out of the dumpster.

If you’re old enough to recall Gropin’ Joe’s role in the Drug War, and him firing a bunch of White House staffers earlier this year for having once smoked marijuana, then you aren’t the least bit surprised to see him screwing over DC by siding with fascists… oh, I’m sorry, the GOP… against the citizens of DC — who, I might remind you, voted 70% to legalize cannabis.

…which somehow brings us around to Gropin’ Joe’s love of ice cream — and his new favorite flavor, the “Brain Freeze”…

No doubt that day last week will go down as “Black Wednesday” for all the death’n'misery profiteers out there: the day the US Trade Representative’s office announced its support for a waiver of patent protection for COVID19 vaccines developed by Pfizer, Biontech, Novavax, and Moderna — and Wall Street crapped its pants.

After week after week after week of hell raised about places like India, where they’re dying like flies and can’t get enough vaccine because American corporations, true to form, are hoarding the supply and the IP protection — the US Trade Rep has decided that waiving patent protection on vaccines during a worldwide pandemic might be a pretty good idea after all… and this hasn’t stopped Wall Street from doing the voodoo that it do so well — setting shares of all four of those companies dropping like a rock on Jupiter.

Buddy, can you paradigm?

From the party that brought you DNC Dog Food, New Blue Money Detergent, Blue Box Chardonnay, and their Premier Donut Assortment now comes — DNC Ramen! Just the thing to blow that big-ass $2000 — uhh, that is, $600 + $1400 — stimulus check that we were supposed to be getting. Never mind that Gropin’ Joe, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock came right out and said in front of god and everybody that their being elected would allow the immediate passage of $2000 per person in Covid’19 relief.

That would be two thousand —count ‘em — two triple-zero dollars. Not the measly $600 and the “oh, alright” $1400 after that, which is what Snopes uses to give its master class in triangulation and “meaning of is” asshattery in an attempt to “fact check” what Biden & Bros said right in front of our personal faces. Luckily, we now have fact-checker checkers.
