OK. Plague, economic collapse, murder hornets...now Covid-stealing monkeys...is 2020 over yet?

[First Speaker]

...no...by George, we have seven months to go... I'm expecting to hear that those damned monkeys are flying next. wake me in January 2021, OK? (And oh yes...there's something called an "election" coming up, isn't there?...)

1. Don't forget the tornadoes, locusts, volcanoes and radioactive forest fires.

I'm beginning to think the Egyptians got off easy.

2. :) Yes, we're not skipping November 3, but SEVEN more months? Gad!

DH and I just picked up a supply of extra-butter popcorn at Sam's Club for watching the year continue to unroll. Now I just knocked wood that a super hurricane or something even more 2020-ish bizarre doesn't carry our microwave away.



158 days to turning Trump and McConnell & company into desperate, enraged nihilists.

3. 2021 will be even stranger

There is a documentary titled Sealab 2021 which is very informative...

4. I think the fire and brimstone are happening now.

5. I cannot believe it is only May.

I hate to think how June is going to be. And the rest of the year too, while I am at it.

6. Please don't ignore the locusts swarming over East Africa.

11. India has Covid, has a drought, has a massive locust swarm.

Temps as high as 122 F, many areas have no water, the virus is running rampant, and more than one area has locust swarms, decimating the area food supply.

12. If I were a religious type, I'd almost assume that God was angry for the worship of the anti-Christ.

The orange racist certainly would qualify as an anti-Christ, wouldn't he?

14. No doubt in my mind she is angry....n/t

8. So far

There have been two tropical storms in the Atlantic so far. It's May. Both have sent their remnants through PA.

9. God clearly sees Donald Trump as "Pharaoh".

The plagues were water turned into blood, frogs, lice, gnats, diseased livestock, boils, hail, locusts, darkness for three days and killing of firstborn sons.

I am guessing that instead of killing off our firstborn sons, COVID-19 is killing off our "earlier born" (with males taking a heavier load). The murder hornets represent the locusts. The flooding in Michigan represents the rivers turning to blood. Instead of diseased livestock, we get humans getting sick with COVID-19 in meatpacking plants. I am not looking forward to whatever represents the frogs, lice, gnats, boils, fiery hail, and darkness for three days.

10. In the future, 2020 will officially be known as the TrumPlague.
