| But yeah, this post has 10,000 likes. | |
| Just in a Facebook group. | |
| Thousands of shares. | |
| People loved this. | |
| People loved dancing on the grave of Bill and Melinda's marriage. | |
| Which, can you blame them? | |
| This is the final editorial take that got a lot of traction. | |
| This headline from, I can't remember the name of this conservative blog website, but it was Bill Gates, COVID-19 quote specialist, couldn't keep his own marriage from collapsing. | |
| Announces divorce from Melinda after 27 years. | |
| Like, the correlating the two? | |
| Like, if you can't keep your marriage together, how are we supposed to trust him for COVID? | |
| Yeah. | |
| I love that, because that's the same logic that they totally applied to, you know, to Trump. | |
| Well, that's a good point, but I think it's like... I think it's that thing where just all these conservative dumbasses are like, you know, running a country is a lot like running a household. | |
| You gotta balance the budget, you know? | |
| You gotta understand, you know, happy wife, happy life. | |
| And sometimes your wife is an oil company. | |
| Sometimes you have to hit your kids. | |
| And the kids in this question are the childlike races. | |
| Slash genders. | |
| You know? | |
| Um, that's what I think it's from. | |
| I think it's like, oh, you couldn't even, uh, keep, keep your marriage together. | |
| Why should I trust you about science? | |
| Exactly. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And it's like, I don't know. | |
| Haven't you ever, haven't you ever seen True Detective? | |
| Or haven't you ever seen, like, any good movie where, oh yeah, that's definitely something I'm familiar with. | |
| A guy who's really good at his job and does it to a T and is borderline obsessed with it always has a healthy marriage. | |
| Yeah, always. | |
| That's the whole point. | |
| They go home and there's no drama whatsoever. | |
| Yeah, sorry that Bill Gates was like, living too close to the edge when it came to COVID-19, that his marriage fell apart. | |
| I also love that they think that he's the one, he is the specialist. | |
| Like, he's not the specialist. | |
| He is funding the specialist. | |
| No, they put quotes around specialist, implying that he has called himself a specialist. | |
| Oh, okay, okay. | |
| Yeah, I can see that. | |
| Which, I mean, maybe to his credit, he probably hasn't done the supremely stupid act of calling himself a COVID-19 specialist in public. | |
| Perhaps he does act like that by, you know, influencing various policies, but I don't think he's come out and called himself a specialist. | |
| Uh, so this, this, um, as you might figure, this news about them getting divorced was, uh, ripe territory for conspiracy theory. | |
| Um, and I have, uh, some of my favorites lined up here. | |
| Uh, so Michelle Sears, uh, says, to the news of Bill and Melinda Gates getting divorced, Michelle says, how? | |
| They're both already dead. | |
| You can't divorce the dead. | |
| They're the undivorceable. | |
| Well that's what you gotta do. |
