The folks at Lincoln Project have a killer sense of humor. This just dropped, a National Geographic spoof featuring a creature called “impotus Americanus.” This is the most enjoyable one minute you’ll have all day.
Impotus Americanus is one of the heaviest leaders in the animal kingdom, and is famously known to be an orange, ruddy color not found in nature. pic.twitter.com/8ccudG6krq

Hahaha.
Isn’t this stellar? “Nationalist” Geographic? I love this piece.
Another species bites the dust. That’s the way it goes when u follow the sign marked, ‘Darwin’s Waiting Room’.
I hope you’re right. However, if history teaches us anything it’s that while it can be driven under the slimy rocks for a time White Nationalism survives in enough people to periodically re-emerge. My fear is that for all their anti-science rhetoric this type of conservative has managed to incorporate cockroach DNA with their own and therefor be impossible to eradicate. I really do believe that even if in the worst days when there were far more weapons if the U.S. and the USSR had set the nukes flying (and China would have joined in) that despite the devastating radioactive fallout that would have outdone the meteor that killed off the dinosaurs that cockroaches would have (and still would) survive.
So, much as I’d like to believe this species is destined for evolutionary elimination I don’t see it happening. We can at best drive it underground again. For a while. But it will re-emerge. Hopefully it won’t have undergone much adaptation AND the country (and world) will have done so and be better able to drive it back underground before it can flourish the way it’s done here and abroad in recent times.
Someone with major bucks needs to outfit a flatbed truck with two gigantic big screen TVs (one facing each side of the street) and drive it around the WH and back & forth in front of Trump’s DC hotel (where me makes foreign diplomats stay – or else!) with loudspeakers playing as loud as they can get away with. Somehow we need to make sure he sees and hears this and other ads no matter how hard his people try to shield him.
Now, I’m NOT advocating someone do something illegal, but it sure would be “a shame” if some hacker(s) figured out how to get into the audiovisual feed of the “live feed” at one of his campaign events and instead of it showing Trump’s blathering mishmash of word salad everyone saw this instead.
These get run on Fox during the shows that Himself watches.
Nice!
Political groups seem to be pumping out these great ads as frequently as I used to light up a cigarette. It really is mind boggling.
