2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Can someone explain this to me?

If you remove the capital letters, "the first lady" got Covid could imply that only men have gotten it up to this point

Public figures are so vulnerable to Covid, Bert Kreicher said he had it 5 times already. And especially people in national political life, everybody wants to meet you everywhere you go and you can't refuse or wear a mask or anything or you get negative news coverage.

Bert doesn’t strike me as the hand-washing type, if I’m being honest.

I'm surprised it's only been 5 times Bert Kreischer has snorted Covid. That fake laughin comes with a deep inhale

Bart's liver is hanging on by a thread.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Bert Kreischer? I wouldn’t believe anything he says

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Bert fucks dogs and drinks at least a gallon of Kool aid a day, COVID doesn't even need to try with him

Get well soon, J-girl!
