What Will it Take?

There seems to be no end to the moral degradation that Facebook inflicts upon the world. And who’s to stop it? Certainly not Moscow Mitch or his overlord, the Moral Midget. In fact, Zuckerberg had a secret dinner a few months ago with the Moral Midget. When quizzed about the purpose of the meeting, Mark, said, “Uh, um, well . . .,” his sentences trailing off into gibberish. In other words, No, I’m not going to tell you about our evil plans to destroy democracy.

And just like Trump, there’s no one to stop him.

Mark and Donald are vampires, biting the necks of their supporters and taking over their brains, so that no one is left with a neural operating system capable of critical thinking.

Mark has been dissed for refusing to delete political ads replete with lies. In fact, unbeknownst to most users, Mark is currently offering a 50% discount for ads containing lies, the more the better, a “white” sale, if you will. But these are not little “white” lies. These are black-hearted manipulations of the American electorate. Facebook refused to take down an ad from the Trump campaign stating that Joe Biden promised money to Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was investigating a company on whose board, Biden’s son Hunter served. Lidey lie.

Mark’s stated reasoning is this: the more speech the better, no matter how closely or not it adheres to the truth. That’s like saying the solution to bad pork, is more pork.

In fact, the more outrageous the lie, the more engagement it draws and the more dollars it brings in to Mark.

Now, for other news. In response to Trump’s recent killing of General Soleimani in Iraq, Iranian lawmaker Ahman Hamzeh has offered $3 million for the assassination of President Trump.

Kim Jung Un, not be outdone, has upped the ante to $4 million.

This auction is now being managed by Sotheby’s renegade affiliate, Sotheby’s DarkStorm.

The President for Life, China’s, Xi Jinping, is reportedly considering his own offer, amount unknown as of this writing.

Sudan, Somalia, Turkey and Ukraine are also said to be mulling over offers. The United Kingdom, France and Germany have declined to comment.

Where will it end?
