Great news ! VP Pence will do great fighting this virus !

In a discussion on a non-DU forum,
I was told that VP Pence is the perfect person to head the fight against this deadly virus.

Some nitwit posted:
He learned 'first aid' when he was a Boy Scout', and he's a 'born again' Christian.

She added that the people at the CDC are just doctors and scientists,
and what we need is a politician to 'manage' the fight against this virus.

(And the poster is serious)



How do you argue with such stupid people?

"My guy did X and he's a hero and genius because reasons, reasons, reasons."

"Your guy did X and he's a dastardly villain because reasons, reasons, reasons."

There's no logic behind it.

Those CDCers just have medical degrees and PhDs in immunology an' stuff--what could they POSSIBLY know about god's word?? And what's worse, nearly ALL of 'em believe in EEvoLOOSHUN! Do you really think THEY can solve the crisis, when they've NEVER gotten down on their knees an' prayed to Ja-a-a-EEZus about it?

( , in case anyone has any doubt.........)

The only way to fight this kind of weapons-grade stoopid is to beat it with dimensional lumber. You'll break a lot of good boards, and you won't fix the stoopid, but it at least FEELS gratifying.....

when we already knew there were many more than just the 22 and that only Trump and Don Jr and Rush etc. are trying to bash Dems over the crisis.
