Because It’s 2020. That’s Why.
I wake up this morning, take a shower and brush my teeth, fix my coffee and then see this —
Brain. Eating. Amoeba. That’s sooooo 2020.
It’s all around me but I am blessed to sit on a little island among brain eating amoeba in a city, only because it’s been here forever, that has its own water supply.
This morning Epp wrote me that she’s not a religious person but if Bidens wins she’s going to light a candle in a church, any church. I’ll join in that soul of sacrifice to the gods. If Biden wins, I will put a light-up plastic nativity scene in my front yard for Christmas.
Does the unstable sociopath drink Brazosport water? Could that be the explanation?
1Larry @1, a sole amoeba would starve on the contents of the f king moron’s cranium.
Received our sample ballots in the mail this week. We are so ready to scratch that itch that’s been proliferating for 4 years. We even have a relatively good chance of Patricia Ackerman defeating dufus Mark Amodei in our last bastion of dumb district, NV-2.
2I finally got the Biden Harris bumper stickers yesterday, attached the magnet strip and put them on my car. I’m starting to realize that I haven’t seen and bumper stickers for either party and no yard signs either. Is this the case everywhere?
3No, Grandma Ada, not in Canton, Ohio. tRump signs all around, with a pitiful few Biden plaques here and there.
4Lighting candles after the election strikes me a bit as closing the barn door after the horse has escaped.
However, I still have those candles I lit for the Nats last year–and, Boy Howdy, did they work! Haven’t bothered to light them this year and it shows. Maybe they’ll work for Biden?
5Grandma Ada, Biden/Harris are spending some serious ad money in NV. Their ads are smartly appearing on some of the streaming services to reach those of us who pulled the plug on cable. Our two Democratic Senators (who are not up for election this year) have been spending some real time supporting Patricia Ackerman for the last remaining “R” House seat.
Shades of Howard Dean with our state party chair William McCurdy III. Watch for him. He could be the next Obama phenomena.
6Well, the coffee should be alright.
It’s time to put up laser shows for the Biden administration, a Schumer Senate, and a Pelosi House…
7I suspect the coffee didn’t post any danger because of the heated water.
One saving grace of all this (I guess) is that Republicans won’t be affected by any threat involving “brain eating.” I guess that’s also a de facto form or protection from zombies. Natural selection at work?
8Put away your Neti pots.
9Correction:
10I did not say IF Biden wins.
I said WHEN Biden wins.
Ted is right — apparently it’s only risky if the water goes up your nose.

Besides, how much can an amoeba eat?
11Brain eating amoebas in Texas, gun toting Proud Boys in Portland as we speak. They may be what’s left after drinking the water. The amoebas were still hungry so the moved on to Texas.
12How long until Trump Tweets this brain eating amoeba water hardly affects anyone? And recommends people should drink it, OPEN UP YOUR FAUCETS!” It’s your Constitutional right.
Trump Koolaid, $4.99 / qt.
13Now, With Amoeba!
Einstein opined that humans’ inability ti grasp exponential growth will doom us.
The incubation period varies from 1 to 14 days. 2ex14=16384. Its clinical presentation can mimic that of bacterial meningitis. Early symptoms include fevers, headaches, lethargy, nausea, and vomiting. More severe manifestations that develop later include confusion, neck stiffness, photophobia, seizures, and cranial nerve abnormalities. Primary amebic encephalitis progresses rapidly and eventually leads to coma and death in most cases.
14Most cases of infection caused by N. fowleri have occurred through recreational freshwater exposure when swimming or diving.[5] Two children in Arizona were infected at their homes during bathing.
15The organism was traced to an untreated community well-water system
I don’t know about everyone else, but today made me physically sick. Just a week after Ruth Bader Ginsburg tragically passed away, Trumpf is touting today as one of his proudest moments with his pick to take away women’s rights, trash Obamacare, continue to desecrate voting rights and he hopes hand him the election. I Hope this fires up voters to send him packing along with all the corrupt hangers on in his administration, and as many senate repugnanticans as possible (Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham as starters ).
16I see a number of signs for Republican candidates here in western Washington state near Seattle where I am currently (even for some fool who has dreams of defeating Jay Inslee), but I have only seen one Trump sign…a large banner really…on a dumpy mobile home and one Trump bumper sticker. In 2016 they were all over the place. They have either seen the error of their ways around here or are just too embarrassed to put up signs.
17We’re seeing signs around here, Grandma Ada. The problem is that the Biden people are behind the curve getting them out to the folks in the country. A lot of city folks don’t think signs matter (we get told this all the time by Raleigh), so our county Party designed and bought our own Biden/Harris signs and bumper stickers. Signs in our yard only last about 20 minutes (no joke), but the sticker is on my car…..right below the “We persist” sticker.
18@Steve from Beaverton: “… but today made me physically sick.”
Yes. Same here. I tried to watch live from WH, immediately felt nauseated. Sick to my stomach.
Also, I can’t stop thinking what wonderful RBG must have been thinking, or feeling, when it was clear to her that she won’t make it past elections. I feel so, so very sorry for her, in case her last thoughts were worrying about America.
19Best sign I have seen which is not a Biden-Harris product

FrauFree@19:
21You’re thoughts about RBG’s possibly last thoughts are heartbreaking.
But IMHO, probably right on the money.
Officials said flushing the toilet is OK under the advisory. Unless you are a Screaming Cheetoh, which would be severely endangered due to position of brain
22I knew those afternoons spent watching those documentaries back in the 1950s would pay off one day. The ones like Invaders from Mars or Them.
(Sorry for the long link, but I believe in letting people see what the source is instead of using a shortener.)

23Yikes! That brain-eating amoeba has probably been in the Brazosport area forever. I’ve worked in six of those affected towns, and even long ago they were just eat up with RWNJs. I’d guess they voted ~90% Rethugs recently around there. Hell, mebbe I caught it over there…
From a CNN webpage [stay as far away from webpages like that, IE: most ‘comm’l media’, as you can; they are huge security risks and intrusive as all hell]:
“The Do Not Use Water Advisory was issued for residents of Lake Jackson, Freeport, Angleton, Brazoria, Richwood, Oyster Creek, Clute and Rosenberg, Texas, as well as for the Dow Chemical plant in Freeport and the Clemens and Wayne Scott Texas Department of Criminal Justice corrections facilities.”
24This is really, really sad. I hadn’t heard of a case like this in years. There were some lakes and rivers and yes, run-off ponds that made the headlines some time ago. I guess amoebas just never die.
