So this stupidity happened. Short version: some stripper drinks the Qanon Kool-aid and goes on a road trip to take out Joe Biden because she thinks he’s part of some cabal of child molesters. Because she’s stupid enough to believe Qanon is credible.
It gets dumber.
At some point in her stream she said “I’m at the Comfort,” a hospital ship brought in to help with COVID-19. To the left you’ll see the USS Comfort. It’s basically a hospital on a boat hull so the Navy can take it places where people need a hospital. Bizarre, I know, but there it is. Blinding white for high visibility, with giant red crosses all over it so nobody accidentally shoots at it. It’s pretty hard to mistake for anything else.
To the right you’ll see the USS Intrepid, an aircraft carrier converted into a museum. It’s a big gray flat-topped airbase complete with control tower and a whole pile of guns. Painted battleship gray, looks nothing like a hospital; it looks more like a whole floating nest of metal wasps ready, willing, and eager to go on rampage. Which it gorram is.
I’m no naval expert. Far from it, in fact. Hell, I live in the Midwest. I’ve been to a few Midwestern states, none of them anywhere near the ocean. Closest things to the ocean I’ve seen firsthand are Lake Superior, Lake Mille Lacs, and Red Lake.
Even I can see the difference between the two at a gorram glance.
Think about this next time some conspracy theorist, especially one of these Qanon jackhammers, tells you to think or open your eyes. I swear, every time you think they can’t get any dumber they go full Charlie Sheen.
This is why I can’t even get all that mad anymore when people from civilized countries call us a bunch of chowderheaded yokels or blithering hayseeds. Because we’ve become the nation of “hold my beer!”
And oh yeah, the standard disclaimer applies.
