“Starbucks says they are going to start putting religious quotes on its coffee cups. The very first quote will say, ‘Jesus! This cup is expensive!’”

One-Liner Wednesday — QAnon

Fandango29 Comments

Nearly three in ten Republicans say they believe the widely debunked QAnon conspiracy theory that “there is a storm coming soon that will sweep away the elites in power (i.e., Joe Biden and the Democrats) and restore the rightful leader (i.e., Donald Trump).”

And if you think that’s fucked up, the same survey said that…

28% of Republicans say that “because things have gotten so far off track” in the U.S., “true American patriots may have to resort to violence” to save the country.

Or how about this?

Almost a quarter of Republicans say they agree with the baseless QAnon allegation that “the government, media, and financial worlds in the U.S. are controlled by a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles who run a global child sex-trafficking operation.”

What the hell is happening in — and to — America?

One-Liner Wednesday — Getting Old

“You know you’re getting old when you get that one candle on your birthday cake. It’s like, ‘See if you can blow this out.’”

Jerry Seinfeld, American comedian

I’m pretty sure that when Jerry Seinfeld first said this it was before the COVID-19 pandemic. After all, who blows out the candles on their birthday cake and then passes out slices to their birthday party guests anymore? Um, thanks but no thanks.
