Why do plagues surface every time Donald takes office? Strange that Christians ignore these signs.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.” Matthew 7:15-17
This verse pops into my mind when fellow “Christians” praise Trump. It saddens me that they are happy to help a crook and a rapist into power, all because “the Democrats are worse.” Elect a more morally upstanding republican then! Why does it have to be THIS guy?
I question if they ever actually read the Bible with an open mind… after all, wasn’t Satan the one to tempt Jesus with earthly political power? Even if Dems were worse, didn’t Christ call us to love our enemies? They’ve completely lost the plot, and then wonder why the Western church is in decline.
Anyone who has read and actually understood the Bible knows that trump 100% fits the bill for being the anti-christ. It’s so ironic.
I’ve never read the Bible, not more than I needed to argue with Bible-thumpers, and I recognize all the signs.
Something something … imperfect vessel.
It’s very that. Too many people here are like, “fundies OBVIOUSLY don’t understand their own bible fwah fwah,” when no, they totally do and they’re actually really into all that End Times shit. Oceans warming up? Woo-hoo we’re on our way to boiling! Another plague? Sweet! Another sign! Does this one have lesions? Christian Fundies have worked hard for their end times, doing their part to make the laws of god into the laws of man on earth.
Our planet on fire is literally their best case scenario (and exactly why they can’t be trusted in any kind of public office). They know who Trump is. The imperfect vessel or the antichrist - it’s just another sign to check off the list. I wish I was being hyperbolic.
I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church and I remember the preacher standing in front of the whole church preaching about why we need to support Israel because rebuilding the temple is required for Armageddon. They read Revelations and want to experience it, rather than fear it.
The religions we grew up in are similar. Bethel Pentecostal village in the middle of nowhere in my case, and my family were the outsiders (teh devils!) who moved there for cheap housing.
I’m sorry you had to sit in church and listen to that. It’s terrifying for kids to experience the adults who are supposed to take care of them, giddy/possessed over the world ending.
I didn’t learn about their Israel obsession until my 20s. Christians moving to Israel so they can plant olive trees because it’ll help the world end absolutely blew my mind.
Well, no, it’s because THE GLOBAL CABAL DEEP STATE IS AFTER HIM. CHRISTIANS ARE WASHED IN THE BLOOD, GOOD LUCK TO YOU SHEEP
Because, due to their logic destroying upbringing and reinforcement in adult social settings, they have perfected the ability to explain away every obvious, inconvenient fact within the framework of a network of conspiracy theories utilizing magical thinking that they invent or adapt on the fly to justify themselves never being fundamentally wrong or ignorant.
People seem to either be forgetting or just not be aware that Q Anon did not die.
It morphed into a conspiracy infused, new form of Christian fundamentalism, where Donald Trump is literally a messianic figure doing God’s will. He was prophecied by modern prophet/preachers, and if any of their prophecies were erroneous, that is because literal demons intervened on Earth, and a supernatural battle is currently taking place on Earth.
Maybe ‘raw milk’ shouldn’t be-
Oh, nevermind, we’re going to have RFK in charge of public health now, it’s a lost cause
I hadn’t heard of this. I was shocked to find out that unpasteurised milk could be sold to begin with, didn’t expect a second shock in the comments. Think I’m going to go back to just not touching social media for a while.
I’m surprised it can be sold in stores alongside regular milk. Raw milk doesn’t last long because of the lack of pasteurization, the logistics of constant replacement due to the lack of shelf time is insane. There’s no way places can be making money simply due to product loss as it goes bad before being sold.
Unless the farms selling it to the stores are lying about expiration dates due to lack of adequate regulations.
Maybe they end up selling enough. I wonder the same thing about the snowfox sushi sold in grocery stores. They have a shelf life of 1 day and the shelves are always full even before the store closes. They can either break even or they are running at a high loss.
Also, I don’t know if the raw milk is sold in regular grocery stores. I have never seen one.
The sushi I see sold in the stores near me is usually restocked a few times during the day since they keep smaller quantities on hand, usually early morning, late morning and late afternoon, to get people for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
I also think it’s a pretty high margin food. You usually just need a little veggies and some rice, and optionally a pretty small amount of fish for the price you pay.
One person can then prepare two or three rolls at once in a couple of minutes.It’s not great sushi usually, but it’s at least better than the majority of grab and go foods.
In the beginning of bird flu, the instances called for only using treated milk. As a counter reaction, the sale of raw milk went up. Rationality went out the window some time ago.
These are the same geniuses who went from chicken pox to covid “parties” for the express purpose of infecting everyone, this country has always been filled with reactionary ignorant asshats.
I will say in defense of chicken pox parties, those made sense before vaccines existed. If you didn’t get it in childhood it was a lot more dangerous to catch in adulthood. And you had a 95% chance of getting it at some point (lifetime infection rate pre-vaccine), so the thought was to get it over with when you were young.
Now, obviously, just get the damn vaccine.
Not only will the milk be raw, but there will also be no vaccines. The next pandemic is going to be such a hoot.
I’ll go set up a webshop for ivermectin. It’s going to be crazy again.
I’d rather not have money than have to deal with right wing extremist customers
You’re thinking to small. Start up store that only sells ivermectin and sell it straight to the government for insane markups. That’s what happened during COVID with regular medical supplies! Heck one of the reasons why they were in short supply is becaue Kuchner gave the federal government’s supply to his buddy’s companies who then sold them to hospital systems for a profit. Some of it even just got sold back to federal government.
Nah, this will just cull us before the next pandemic
Shouldn’t be what? Whasamatta? Worm got your brain?
Is there even any benefit whatsoever to raw milk over pasteurized?
There’s probably a small loss of some nutrients (the heat breaks some chemical bonds). The benefit would probably be somewhere between negligible and marginal before you factor in the risk of food poisoning.
Studies have shown no difference in nutritional value. So it’s a net negative across the board.
It’s not healthier, it has a higher risk of pathogens, and a much shorter shelf life, all for usually more cost at the store. It’s a perfect grift for the anti-vax, chemicals=bad people.
I’m 100% for raw milk. I hope some one is setting up a centralized nation wide distribution ready to go live the second it’s legal, and I hope everyone who wants it can get it at the same time before any news can spread.
I’m 100% against needless cruelty, violence, and atrocity against innocent, harmless individuals.
Harmless?
Yes. Harmless. Or do you think bird flu cares who it infects once it’s transmissible from human to human?
The cow and her slaughtered children.

Don’t worry. All news is fake news now.
Bottoms up, motherfuckers.
Make sure RFK Jr drinks the entire jug of Bird Flu milk.
Louis Pasteur worked in his lab for a very good reason. Must we go back to the 1800s?
Rightwingers don’t believe in any problem until it directly affects them. They won’t understand why we have modern medicine and health regulations until they personally feel the effects of having taken it all away. And even then many of them still won’t.

If you don’t get your car’s oil changed for years and then go into the mechanic because your engine seized up, yeah they’re gonna hold your own idiocy against you.
When men were men, women were property, black people were property, Irish people were black people, and we had just curb stomped our first country full of brown people.
A man could just pick up and go to a new town and call himself a doctor, sell some random bullshit to whoever, and leave before the consequences could catch up to him.
That seems to be the end goal…
You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know. Morons.
Do not drink raw milk it is a terrible idea.
“Just because you said that, I’m gonna drink raw milk even harder now. Get owned, nerd.” Or something along those lines.
I hate this meme. Pingu would never say, “well now I am doing it.” He would say, “NOOT NOOT!” and then he would do it.
… things people actually say unironically to vegans
If only this could have been prevented \s
It comes as California has reported 29 confirmed human cases of bird flu since early October, primarily stemming from cows, according to CDPH. Of those cases, 28 had direct contact with infected cows, all cases had mild symptoms that were primarily eye infections, and none required hospitalization.
“No person-to-person spread of bird flu has been detected in California or the U.S [yet!!],” the news release said.
Emphasis is mine, but pink eye for everyone sounds like it’s going to be amazing. An anti-vaccine Health Department seems like the perfect sequel to the COVID ball drop/denial of the first admin.
Rampant infectious disease, tariffs, and mismanagement on everything are exactly the changes needed to help every American. /s
ten years later
Bird flu discovered in aged cheddar…
Don’t drink the bird milk
Must not had given it enough sunshine and exercise first.
I thought filtering got rid of bacteria. TIL
A bacterium like E. coli is about 1000nm wide and 2000-6000nm long. Influenza viruses are 80-120nm in size.
Hey, they know what they’re drinking, it’s all natural and they have an immune system!
