I mean, if they drop the exotic animals, and the killing of animals to order then it's probably fine...

I agree. Now watch me eat this lobster.

So do you agree or disagree with the article, or the position of the WHO?

Oh you just wanted to be snarky? Carry on.

The science crowd at it again. We must believe the virus came naturally from bats that live 600 miles from wuhan. No possible way the virus leaked from a wuhan lab studying corona viruses in bats. Keep in mind the research had been banned in the USA due to viral leaks.  Fauci funds the research in China. Chinese government attempts to delete all information of the research from the internet and prohibits lab inspections.

some people wouldn’t believe shit stinks without the Fauci stamp of approval.

Yeah, stupid leftists!

[angelinkc]

Some of these leftist really need to get out of the basement. I’m about to Fire up the truck, grab some beers, and bang the old lady a few times. I don’t expect leftist to follow my risking behavior. Maybe they can charge up the Prius and Go have a contactless kale smoothie somewhere.

British writer Nate White with perhaps the best description of Trump that I have ever read.

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” 

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

I Agree with almost all of that except that trolls are hilarious when they’re effective.

It’s kind of funny reading that being a bully is “unforgivable” to a British person.  Uhh, maybe to one completely oblivious to their long and distinguished global history of bullying. 

Take that, King George!

Does this get blamed as COVID-19 death?

California surfer, 26, killed in shark attack

California State Parks said in a news release the 26-year-old man was surfing off Manresa State Beach on the northern end of Monterey Bay in Santa Cruz County around 1:30 p.m. when he was attacked by an "unknown shark species."

It’s baffling tbh. Chinese wet markets have been around for centuries and there just happens to be virology lab in the vicinity of the breakout. Are people really that stupid?

Idiot.
