From DC's anarchist cartoonist Mike Flugennock -
"Auditioning for QAnon"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3237
This time last year, it was Tom Cotton, Steve Bannon and those
doorknobs at the Epoch Fail — uh, sorry, Epoch Times — pushing the
100% evidence-free "Wuhan Lab Leak" conspiracy batshittery, and the
Washington Post — along with anyone else with two synapses to rub
together — were laughing that shit right outta the room.
So, this past week, it was with more than a little begrudging awe that
I watched the Democratic Party, the Washington Post, CNN, Wall Street
Journal and friends slam on the brakes, jerk the wheel around, kick in
the afterburners and execute a full 180° Emergency Bat-Turn on the
Wuhan Lab Leak zaniness. China's the new Enemy Of The Month, and
Gropin' Joe needs some dirt on China, so they're dragging Steve
Bannon's dirty hot mess out of the dumpster.
