Has anyone seen the piece about former tRump advisor and Russian asset Michael Flynn is repeating the theory that Covid vaccines are being added to salad dressing?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/former-tr...070429048.html

... and no, this isn't an upcoming skit on SNL.

I saw it on MSNBC today.

Most of the stuff that's peddled to MAGA morons is so patently ridiculous there's no excuse for believing it, certainly not without vetting it.

MAGA morons are not vetting it, they are ready, willing and eager to accept and propagate this crap.

I think it is made excessively ridiculous to troll blues, thus increasing polarization from both directions.

Pretty sure anti-vaxxers aren't into salads. Potatoe salad being the exception.

And it's working.

Monty Python, Firesign Theater and others did their part in setting the stage for our heighten level of absurdity. Trump's been a big help too. If he weren't a Reality TV star, would he have been President?

Reality TV gave him name recognition beyond the boroughs and he built a persona of being a savvy business person, but what did the trick for him is social media, specifically FB and TWTR. Even his party affiliation was unknown until then.

Trump's been a national celebrity since the 80's, NYC's parochialness notwithstanding. For example:

What Donald, Ivana Trump said about his running for president in 1987 Barbara Walters interview. 00:00. 00:0001:07GO LIVE. Facebook. Twitter. https://abcnews.go.com/video/amp/emb...ement=featured

Infowars’ Alex Jones liable for damages in Sandy Hook lawsuits, judge rules
Jury will now consider damages after far-right conspiracy theorist failed to produce documents for the court cases

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...wsuits-damages

Set the damages at $Billions. Shut his ass down for good, and make sure others who make shit up are WELL aware that they are also liable. Here's lookin' at you, Faux, "News"Max, etc.

Of course, by the time all the appeals are done, Jones won't have any money. The lawyers will have it all.
