Duterte's drug war is a 'roided-up model of the US' - instead of jailing everyone from the users to the pushers to the kingpins, he's just ensuring the only people making money in the Philippine drug trade are those who pay him generously to operate.

Watching what's happening in the Philippines gives me pause, because Duterte is Trump if Trump had an 80% approval rating.

the three days in the whale / fish represent the suffering that makes us realise our own mortality. in that moment, understanding the very real possibility of death or ruination, we hear the word. without suffering there is no such thing as faith. mankind is about to enter our collective three days of suffering, not the first, probably not the last, possibly not even the worst that we've faced or will face in our long strange history. i hope it will redouble my faith, and others'. as for three days on the cross i don't know poo poo about that, i'm a jew lol

Also Yellowstone.

It ruins the Merica's bread basket/great plains farms so food prices spike.

Also the ash "snow". Like an inch of ash collapse roofs/houses. The east coast will get an inch. Great Plains will get several inches/feet. On the bright side there's a global cooling effect for a few years.

Also let's add mega tsunami into the mix.

The Canary Islands and some other west african island chain fall into the ocean loving up the east coast.

Parts of Hawaii also fall into the sea and gently caress up the west coast. Donnie than says how Obama is using his home state to attack Merica even those he's from Africa.

e: Also we might have another modern Mary Shelley write another master piece during a snowin.

"However inappropriate some of Mr. Shkreli's postings may have been, we do not believe that he intended harm and do not believe that he poses a danger to the community," Shkreli's lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said in a statement.

...

"Since his conviction on August 4, 2017, Shkreli has engaged in an escalating pattern of threats and harassment that warrant his detention pending sentencing," prosecutors wrote in their motion.

"Most recently, Shkreli threatened former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by publicly offering $5,000 to anyone who would 'grab' some of her hair on the defendant's behalf during her upcoming book tour"

Sadly this is to be expected. If there's one thing mosquitoes love its humid weather and standing water. All the water flooding out of the city is gonna leave behind a huge amount that isn't gonna drain quickly, which mosquitoes will use as a breeding ground. And with nothing living in that water to eat the larvae a ton will spawn and go to town.

But hey, at least all those displaced bats from the bridge will have plenty to eat! :shepface:

You aren't thinking hyuge enough. meteors, tsunamis, eruptions, or anything boring like that aren't gonna surprise anyone in the Trump Era, what's really going to knock our socks off is the incoming alien invasion fleet. :getin:
