Whoa, Facebook
Healthy Nutrition Today dot com is a website registered to Strasko Arsovski in Macedonia. They publish rightwing fake news.
They also have a Facebook page. Where crazy crap happens.
Oaky, so this kinda explains why the nuts are stocking up guns. Hell, you could scare me with 3000 guillotines so this is real rumor overkill.
Anyway, I to Charles’ suggestion and I did look it up on the internet. I went to some of my favorite political research tools, Popular Mechanics and McClatchy.
It’s probably not true.
Thanks to Isak for the heads up.
Michelle president? PROMISE?
1Yeah, Michelle Obama as President would be a dream come true right now.
I have no idea whether Charles Stires is a real person who actually believes in the 30000 guillotines fantasy, but I’m impressed that he spelled the word correctly. RWNJs are not noted for their ability to spell (or think).
2But…but…Facebook says they don’t have any fake news.
3Of course, this was aimed at the Flat Earth Society. Large membership, I hear.
4The RWNJs are frightened, ignorant, stupid creatures. They will believe the most ridiculous thing because those things feed their fear. They have no life other than the conspiracy theories they feed on.
5This guy is probably one of Tzar Vlad’s paid trolls–they seem to be pretty well-educated in the Romance languages.
6Dangnabit, I done bin busted.
I organized and head up (cough) the A’Murikan Guillotine Cartel and Marketing Group.
We correctly foresaw the industry’s great potential ahead (cough) of the demand, and spearheaded (cough…cough) a massive effort to supply that then future guillotine demand. We both arranged import supply lines from top quality German and French chopper shops (very limited quantities), and formed a brand new vertical domestic guillotine and basket manufacturing industry using a genuine ‘Murikan labor force. Made in A’Murika, USAUSA All done on short budget and ahead of (ahem) deadline…
You round ’em up, we head ’em out; you shackle ’em, we lop ’em.
We made a solid killing on that very sharp no-bid guillotine supply contract for those 30,000 veggie slicers (hey, those RWNJ’s are all vegetable from the neck up, right?).
We AGCMG members are now all super rich (y’all wouldn’t believe the front-loaded top-line profit margin on a first-class, grade A guillotine; head and shoulders above the cheap Chinee competition). Thanks, Obama…
7This is so over the top it reads like a Poe — especially the 30,000 guillotines.
8A little back-of-the-pushed-envelope math noodling:
Thirty thousand guillotines. Sixty-five million, give or take, rumpateers. We’ll start at the top … well …. just below the chin.
2167 heads per guillotine. Even more efficient than swimming pools, or a Vegas shooting gallery.
We’ll need plenty of baskets.
The job could be done in 24 hours.
I don’t know how many boxcars FEMA would need ferrying the heads one way and the bodies the other.
I guess we’ll have to wait for rump’s Eastern European fake news fascists, whose ancestors had so much practice running the trains on time, to provide guidance.
9“We’ll need plenty of baskets.”
baskets are a time waster. put a deep layer of sawdust on the ground, drop them on top, then scoop the whole thing up with a front-end loader. drop them in a dump truck, and you’re good to go.
don’t waste that material either, strip it of valuable items, then use it as fuel to generate electricity. win-win!
10A little back-of-the-envelope calculation here: the number of counties in the U.S. is surely between 1000 and 10000. If we go with the higher number, that works out to an average of three guillotines per county. That’s probably enough to get the job done in fairly short order, though I suspect some counties (Loving County, Texas comes to mind) might need a few extra on account of the high percentage of snacilbupeR living there.
