I guess we now know what the new election variant will be.
Zuckerberg, Oprah, and Gates will be safe in their Hawaiian fortresses.
And they will no doubt smirk as the zombie apocalypse ravages the insignificant people of the world.
Don’t eat them.
It already has. Go to Philly and Oakland; plenty of zombies to be seen.

The only cure is mail-in ballots.
“Zuckerberg, Oprah, and Gates will be safe in their Hawaiian fortresses.”
After the peasants have been burned out.
wasting disease has infected colorado deer and antelope herds for decades and it has ALWAYS been known that eating the wrong parts of a sick animal will induce a fatal illness in humans ... in fact, the colorado wildlife department has a testing program for hunters ... nonetheless, it’s why i won’t eat wild game ...
so, basically this is a bullshit article designed to terrify ignorant morons ...
Don’t you just love it?
“Scientists say . . .” As long as they find two of them they can say, “Scientists say”.
I don’t trust this kind of reporting any more than “Experts say,” or “according to doctors”.
We don’t have no stinking Deer here ,LOL
More “sounding the alarm.”
Until their hired thugs decide they're no longer useful.
