The Worst Week Ever: The Age of Cope Has Begun

1.

Donald Trump lost the election. But surely you know that, whether you’ve come to terms with it, well that’s your business, but lose the election Donald Trump did. And well, since there’s been much going on, we thought we’d take a look back at some of the more, eye drying posts of the week. Starting with a nice dose of copium.

I don’t even have anything to say. I was shared this meme by someone who swore it was made earnestly, and not as a joke. When people ask you what is cope, show them this beautiful picture. The cool thing about Trump not yet conceding is that he’s able to ask his supporters for more donations, to you know, fight his battles in court. Only it was reported that those donations are in fact going towards his camping debts and not his legal battles, which one has already been thrown out.

It was also reported in the NyPost that Vladimir Putin would be stepping down as President of Russia sometime next year, a claim the Kremlin denied, but according to the ExpressUk, Putin contacts have informed them he is showing early signs of Parkinson’s. So the jury on this may still be out, but if we are to believe these reports, Putin may be on shaky ground.

In other news from around the world, the President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro made quite the statement when he told Brazil, to man up and stop dealing with the pandemic and I quote, “like Fags.” This dude definitely rocks!

Parler a small rip off of Twitter came back into the spotlight this week after many Trump supporters decried censorship by Twitter for labeling posts that shared voter disinformation clearly. The small app which is owned by the fifth Ninja Turtle Dan Bongino, (is he Italian) was the center of a small conspiracy theory.

Someone made a fake Fox News chyron that claimed Parler was partially owned by George Soros. And so many people believed it that Danatello himself had to go on Twitter and ensure people he was the owner. Pretty great shit. We taking bets on how long these contrarians will last on Parlor without anyone to argue with? I give it a month tops, before Parler begins to eat itself and slips back into obscurity.

Oh and how could we forget. Pfizer is making progress on a vaccine they claim will be “90% effective”, which is really good news, for people who believe in science. Not so much for the “'conspiracy against rural Americans'’ crowd who think the big shadow people waited until after Trump lost to make the announcement. And are to believe these are the same people who will willingly lineup for the vaccine when it does arrive? I'd head caution buying stock in that happening.

There are many, many more stories from this week. Check back next week, because we're sure that when the election is finally over-over, things will go back to normal. Sike!
