The White House has taken down some government websites providing COVID-19 information and replaced them with a new boldly styled page dedicated to the controversial theory that the pandemic was caused by the virus leaking from a Chinese government laboratory.

    This whole administration is the result of a leak from a laboratory studying artificial stupidity.

    It could literally have an x.509 signature from the Chinese government written in the DNA. What would Republicans have done about it? Nothing.

    Lab Leak is bullshit, but the bigger problem was the reaction.

      The reaction was the point though. Regardless of how covid started, it was happening and we were already dealing with the thick of it. The whole lab leak thing was a tool to get people riled up.

        It was a distraction from the incompetence of Trump’s government, as is this shitty website, for their cult at least. For everyone else it just screams incompetence.

    The fact that they believe and agree presenting this as truth, makes me (an American) believe COVID-19 has no connection with a lab. That’s the point we’ve gotten to.

    So him with the “slow walk” pose makes me think he did it.

    And what’s with the stupid cursive covid 19 shit?

    Makes me sus him even more because only mid 80s shity movies used that style.

    It looks like a 90s thriller called Lab Leak starring Donald Trump as a creature feature.

    I mean, what’s going on with those font choices and putting Trump in between.

    It looks stupid on the surface, but I’m concerned it’ll be used as a fake justification to drop nukes on China.
