simply amazing what a 1/2 degree can do- whoda thunk that a january day which is normally 40 degrees, but now is 40.5 degrees would cause slugs to mass produce and spread over the globe infecting everyone in their path?

Wait...

So, now they’re telling us that snails are operating in league with an ideology for idiots?

Or, is it that whenever anyone of the idiot ideology says “climate change did it!” we should assume it’s just another bad effect of globalism?

This is the only brain eating parasite- he affects the brains of the dimwits that believe him about climate change.

So of course we all know liberal/leftism is a mental disease and now, with this amazing article, we know the disease affects people differently and to varying degrees.

I guess we are just gonna have to come up with a mental disease scale for the infected leftists. Maybe a simple 1-10 scale where the average leftist is at, say, a 5 and these insightful snail leftists would be up around a 7 or so.

Somehow putting Maxine Waters and Nasty Pelousi at a 10 just doesn’t seem enough though. Maybe need a whole nother scale for really really mentally diseased people like them. Maybe a 10 on the first scale then a secondary 1-10 scale for them rated like 10+6.

Of course they are.

Everything bad in the world is happening because of Global Warming and Capatalism.

Unfortunately, these fools don’t appear to have a brain parasite, they simply don’t give a shit.

Now there is some unbiased reporting for you!
