The times they are a-changin

There was a time when an article like this would have been an April Fools joke as opposed to a commentary on the sitting US president.

Trump attacks NASA and claims the moon is 'a part' of Mars.

Okay, I'm not even going to go and read the article, I don't need to be that depressed. As jaded and cynical as I am, it still boggles my mind that not only did enough people vote for that fuckwitted oxygen thief, they still support him. I just....can't.

I saw this this morning and I was like, no, surely not!

Alas, 'tis so. The US is led by a dolt who tweets out anything that occurs to the three cells in his brain not wholly focused on himself.

Actually, you can read this one. At least it's possible to inject some humor this time. (Space Twitter has been taking the piss non-stop since he tweeted it in the first place.) The byline is my personal favorite.

[grundyscribbling]

Yeah, that about sums it up.

The problem is all the idiots who support him will now take this on board.

If they choose to believe the Orange Idiot over their lying eyes...

You're giving him too much credit, I doubt he has that many in that vacuous cranium of his.

What they said.

I've spent the day surviving a migraine and would like to believe this is some kind of associated inability to understand an article that probably makes sense. Moon = Mars is .... too complicated right now.

Oh wait, it's Trump, the man who makes South African politics look sane. Okay. Moon = Mars. Whatever.

In the orange brain, Moon = Mars. Not sure if all his followers have chosen to adopt that interesting theory yet or not...
