17. Dumbest plot in history
Fri Jul 16, 2021, 09:32 PM
Jul 2021

So, like the Chinese, man, engineered this super coronavirus. Because, they're like wicked smart, dude.

And they planned to kill the world with it.

So they covertly released it in (checks notes) WUHAN CHINA!

You don't hardly get better than that for trying to take down the rest of the world. Because for sure when you want to harm the rest of the world, you make your own people sick. Works every time.

This is also the dumbest talking point in the world. Even if COVID-19 escaped from the Wuhan virology lab, that changes not one single thing about the fact that Trump farked up the US response in a way that an evil genius might not have been able to engineer.

The whole "LAB LEAK!!!11!1!" thing is that, if it was a lab leak, then the whole thing is on China and Trump's in the clear. That's inane.
