It’s hard to really illustrate to younger generations exactly how profoundly stupid George W. Bush is.

No he wasn’t, he was evil and deluded.

Evil, deluded, and profoundly stupid are not mutually exclusive.

He isn’t stupid. His public personality was all an act. Go watch a video of him before he became a politician. He’s smart, mean, and talks with North East accent.

I mean, part of that was his political strategy. He knew exactly what he was doing.

You forgot the absurd punchline.

Other Scientist: “Jesus Christ. I guess we shouldn’t study science because this is what we get from it.”

Maybe he believed it, maybe not.

My take is that Bush was trying to sell the WMD bullshit so hard he wouldn’t be above telling allies that he could make flying monkeys shoot out of his ass if he thought that it would get him any support for his war to enrich defense contractors.

In my country the most famous news anchor in the most watched news broadcast stated that Saddam Hussein was the third antichrist according to Nostradamus profecies.

3rd anti-christ? What like they think god has to try multiple times to make his own ‘prophesy’ to come true?

DJT is the anti-christ. He can fullfill almost every related ‘prophesy’, there is a website that collated them all. It is kinda freaky

I don’t remember the details but apparently Nostradamus profetized the coming of 3 or more antichrists, is his own thing, not really a canonically Christian thing. But the news anchor sure knew that people wouldn’t really check, specially during those days where Internet wasn’t a thing.

Isn’t the antichrist supposed to decide most Christians? If that’s the case it would be DJT

And it’s even more horrifying that a significant chunk of the US population apparently actually believes shit like this.
