The scientific consensus is that Covid 19 arose from zoonotic spillover centered on the Wuhan wet market. There is ZERO countervailing evidence of a lab leak. But this jagoff wants you to believe Fauci purposefully created a virus that would kill Americans and released it in China. It's stupid.

There's a reason that history is filled with usurpers meeting violent ends, often executed by the rightful ruler or betrayed by their own troops. And in the modern era, why South Korea and Brazil acted with swift justice. The people who do these things just don't stop until they are imprisoned.

Democrats do run on the economy. The problem is MAGA claims it’s about the economy, when it’s not, and they distort economic performance. Then the media focuses on every price increment during democratic administrations, while invoking sacrifice during their own.
