Anyone have the quotes handy on how they want to destroy the country and rebuild as feudal kingdoms?

Guess we'll have to force anyone returning from the US to stay in quarantine.

Do you want another pandemic? Because that is how you get another pandemic.

I made a joke about this in a German community and yet here we are. Satire is dead, murdered by the imbeciles in the Trump administration.

are poultry prices going up like egg prices are in the states?

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

No, they're different chickens and the virus has been spreading more through egg laying chickens. In part because they're in different locations.

stand with rfk. americans voted trump twice into office and shows now sign of stopping their brain rott. bird flu is best that can happen. last time the facist leader was in office we had corona globally - lets just hope for a very localised (to the USA) bird flu outbreak to help the imbeciles remember 2020.
