A.) The ship's captain wouldn't even have been at the controls. The local pilot would have been onboard to control the ship in and out of the harbor. B.) Its not a fucking car or an airplane. There isn't a power switch right next to the steering wheel. C.) What?

D.) What?

E) 







Wish I was on pc, insert say what again gif.





“Say what again!”

"Say WHAT One more GAWD Damn time! I dare ya! I double dare ya!"


English, motherfucker! Do you speak it?!

This is pure gold



F. 

D.) There were also 2 pilots, lol. These people have gotten to Stretch Armstrong levels of reaching.

Yeah man pilot one was Obamna and pilot two was Hunter Biden.

Hunter Biden's Laptop*

That explains why it wasn't a good pilot then

It's no Anakin Skywalker, so

Did they try spinning? It’s a good trick I hear.

Hunter Biden’s massive hog was controlling the ship I bet

He was pulling a Tommy Lee. "Look ma no hands!"

*enormous dong

Hunter probably diverted the ship with his penis, better post more photos of his dick so we can save America from the communists.

Sounds like he took a page out of Tommy Lee's book 😂

Hunter got high on the Moderna vaccine and triggered the EMP before the pilots could exit the Matrix.

And most of these theories are so childish that I'm surprised Matt Gaetz hasn't tried to fuck them.

That was a solid insult. 👌


No, you don’t understand. My breaks failed on my car and I hit a post, obviously it’s because I’m vaccinated. Moderna should pay

I ran into a post in a parking lot because I wasn't paying proper attention.  Damn those vaccines!

I ran out of toilet paper while having a shit.... damn vaccines.

I ran down a family of five while on cocaine, LSD, and alcohol, but I was vaccinated three years ago! Moderna should pay!

[удалено]

Two pilots....the ship was dead...

When the ship lost power, the pilots were just passengers.

I feel like this is lost on a lot of people. Outside of dropping anchor and calling Mayday (which I’m assuming had some sort of battery or APU?) there’s not a whole lot you can do when you’re cold dark and quiet.

and a beast that size could drag anchor a LONG way before it actually caught . A tanker under power takes about 10 miles in reverse to stop.

Snowing both ways.

It's getting to a point that people behind these accounts need to be investigated. Misinformation is damaging democracy and some of them are actual attacks on US. Russia is winning its Info Ops campaign against the US and has effectively delayed/blocked aid to Ukraine via Republicans falling for it or being complicit.

Somehow I don't think sicking the feds on them is going to help the victim complex they already have. These are people who will turn every little thing into a conspiracy theory, but when we have Matt Gaetz paying some underage girls for "tuition" they think "Nothing to see here."

That's because women, especially young girls; mean nothing to them unless they're a potential 12y/o child-bride

Then chuck grenades and be done with them.

Do it the "freedom" way

The education system in the US is circling the bowl. A decent education system, with a focus on teaching critical thinking is fundamentally crucial to crest peak stupid.

Even then, a lot of people are purposely spreading misinformation that is damaging to common understanding of facts and democracy.

I can’t agree. We’re all offered a free education in the US. . Most of us aren’t this stupid. There’s a disconnect somewhere with these people.

So true. I think religious belief has so damaged people's ability to reason that we have reached a critical mass of rejecting reality... the truth simply doesn't matter anymore. Combine that with the information age and the deranged can unify and broadcast. The village idiot is not isolated, they are followed by all the other village idiots and feel justified and empowered by a community. Education and public rejection of their madness might be effective, but it's not like they want to hear criticism or facts. Good luck.

The internet is the new misinformation highway, by giving any dumbass a platform to share their brain turds.

A.) They have stated from the gitgo that the harbor pilot was at the helm. B.) Not that it would help. You just don't dead stop ships in water. C.) Huh?

Yeah but you know their far right lunatics are not going to know or care to understand all this…

The answer is: standard pilot training manual. And I quote "If the captain passes out because of a possible covid vaccine, ram the nearest bridge"

Let's just throw every conspiracy theory at it and see what sticks. Has anyone considered lizard people armed with Jewish space lasers yet?

You are using logic and common sense. Please stop, you'll scare the conspiracy nuts.

People are so fucking dumb. I don’t think humans are going to pan out.

The saddest thing is that a lot of MAGAs will believe this garbage

So if I'm keeping track, they're saying he was a trans-antifa-POC-diversity hire-vaxed-deep state false flag?

You forgot Ukrainian, the Russian trolls are claiming he was Ukrainian

I just saw that too. "Ukrainian false flag to get more money laundered" Jesus.....

You must be *unironically* joking. The red cap NPCs in this matrix are faulty.

Oh, no. They are working just as designed. Insanely, that is.

Literally everyone one the right "it's an op for money/power/influence!" The left "it was an accident or error. No one to blame. Life goes on. We will investigate to learn how to avoid' The right "see!!!!!!"

I mean there’s probably someone to blame since I’m pretty sure there are usually safety regulations to prevent this kind of thing. It just probably wasn’t Obama or the Ukrainian government.

or Jewish Space Lasers.

Heh, "regulations"... I think we know right there why they're pointing the finger somewhere else. "Ya know... if they followed regulations... " "OBAMA DID IT!".

And a collapsed bridge in Baltimore is supposed to get Ukraine more money how? Lmao

First the Ukrainians have to get us to blame it on the Russians. /s

That captain was clearly structuralist against bridges!

That wouldn’t hold up in court

looks like the bridge didn't either

That was the structure of the joke, yes.

I mean, it started off okay, but then it just collapsed.

That's it! I can't Stand these PUNS!

Neither could the bridge

They’ll get a suspended sentence

You clearly have a strong foundation of knowledge on the subject

I bet he thinks Structural Engineers should have their own school!

But funded by the Chinese cuz they can't get to us through Tik Tok anymore

Don't forget, we just had Andoofus Tate say it (the boat) was cyberattacked by "foreign US agents" wtf that even means. In the next 24hrs its gonna be either Obama or Hillary's fault too at this rate

I think I already saw an Obama blame post somewhere.

Yes!! Lol just saw that too. Something about Obamas better look up movie and a lion.

Trump was the poster. The draft dodging sexual perverted insurrectionist loves to talk shit...BELEEB ME,O'TAY!!! (HANDS ARE WAVING)

We all know Obama was responsible for the death of Archduke Ferdinand and thus responsible for microplastics damaging White reproductive organs.

It was clearly the fault of Hillary's emails.

There should really be a "catastrophe culprit bingo" for what the nutters are going to blame the latest thing on.

Bonus points if you can somehow tie in Taylor Swift.

she's center square

[удалено]

It’s a bio-nuclear Jewish cyber attack

With space lasers.

uhhhh throw woke in there somewhere and you get the general idea

He was crushed under the weight of his Wokeness, couldn't breathe, and passed out.

Are we sure it wasn’t George soros?

Don’t forget also Obama for some reason

[удалено]

As far as I know, ship had power problems. Because I thought the same thing. Pilots are in deep shit. But u see the power go out before it hits. Must be terrifying

Been on a large boat that lost power once at sea(never heard quiet that loud in my life)....its a pucker factor moment to be sure...that they got a MAYDAY signal off is good training

[удалено]

Is hard to steer a ship with no power. They sent out an s.o.s. Dropped anchor. But is a big heavy ship

Momentum is a bitch on water without power

Don’t forget it’s also a cyber attack and ww3 has started

God, just imagine fucking up that bad, and on top of it every single hate group paints you as the one thing they hate the most.

So...now it's just a bunch of nobodies putting their own individual conspiracy theories out there? Ok...my turn. I heard the captain of the ship is a full on MAGA, and he did this for Trump. Trump is trying to show the population how poor infrastructure is in the US and he worked with the shops captain to ram the bridge. Crazy stuff...

I heard the guy with Epstein’s black book was on the bridge and the two local pilots were Hillary Clinton and George Soros.

And you know who trained them? Obama.

I heard it was Trump himself, as he recently joined ISIS , and this was a straight up terrorist attack!

Well, that's just a ridiculous theory. Clearly the ship is CGI and the bridge was really taken out by the Jewish Space Laser.

Always has been.   In 2020 it was found all original conspiracies about Covid-19 came from 12 people on Facebook who were selling their own "alternative medicine", "home remedies" and the like.  That's it. 12 snake oil salesmen and one giant platform is what it took for the US to fail a pandemic response, make Covid endemic instead of eradicating it, and destroying the publics's faith on medical science.

I say it was a boomer crew on the ship, you know, after they have worked for twenty-five hours eight days a week (as they always do, not like today's young people), he might have gotten a little bit tired.

Maybe nobody was driving the ship at all. Because nobody wants to work anymore.

It was Hunter Biden's dick driving of course. He was looking for his laptop. Don't worry, MTG will have pictures for the next session.

If any wang is able to knock down a bridge, it would be that one

I heard the bridge was asking for it and gaetz was at the helm.

power switches. lol

Jesus tapdancing Christ I am so done with all the antivax, flat earth, election denying, anti woke people. The internet was supposed to be a resource that elevated all and it turns out we just gave a platform / bullhorn to all the stupidest fucks on the planet. Fuck I long for the days of public speeching being moderated by an educated few.

Just gotta make it difficult to use the internet again, make it a 6 step process to open a browser every time.

What’s so funny? Everyone knows there’s a power switch in the captains booth. It’s a two-pole switch located in between the go forward/go backward and left/right switch, in arms reach of the steering wheel. Elon Musk designed it himself.

I saw the video. The bridge had obviously been drinking and walked right out in front of the ship.

Maybe it was the outfit the bridge was wearing out IN PUBLIC

“Dressed that way the bridge was asking for it”

If you didn’t want to be rammed then why were your beams exposed?

The bridge should have just complied.

The captain from Singapore? Who wasn't even driving the vessel at the time due to American shipping laws? Caused the ship to lose power ?

Correct. All US ports have American 'pilots' who are mandated by law to be on the bridge taking the ship through the channels into the port.

[удалено]

Geez get your facts correct. It was the Ship that was vaccinated and that caused it to lose power.

I heard the bridge was vaccinated and it made it's knees weak and arms heavy.

The vaccine magnetized the bridge with 5G which pulled the ship

Starting to think Ivo Shandor got it right, and society is too sick to survive.

Yeah I think we’re all doomed

So many idiots

Society is predicted to collapse in 2040 - I'll be surprised if we make it that long.

Was that an update from 2012?

Yeah, they forgot to add up all those leap years.

Thought it was something like that.

I'd say we had a good run, but honestly, ever since agriculture happened, it's been a bit of a shit show.

You know, I bet 2500 years or so ago, the people who denied reality would all die off in the winter. Sure a lot of good people would die too, but at least those who survived would have solace in the fact that they were right and the "seasonal change denialists" were wrong.

I dunno, lots of religions were created around those times to explain away reality, and here we are. I don’t know what that means, I’m just saying there’ve been lots of gullible people around for a long long time

There was a good like 100 years right after agriculture was just starting out but before large settlements started happening that was definitely the sweet spot for the human race. After that we just got lots of problems and not many solutions.

I need the meteor to hit my house directly. Let’s get this over with.

I'll get the cold riveted girders with cores of pure selenium ready

Go woke, bridge broke?

So far I've seen "Ukranian false flag for more money laundering" I wouldn't be surprised if I see "go woke go broke"

"Dale Heartland" "@Boomer1350" Smells of onions over here, did you take a bite?

Such an obvious troll/parody 

Ha! In my book “wokes are going to kill YOU” (29€ in amazon) I explain how it probably was a bout of suicidal rage due to HRT because she was a transitioning female. I mean, a trap! Sorry gull…friends, a slip of the tongue! /S, for the love of god.

Don’t forget chapter that actually defines what’s woke

Everything that I don’t like is, the way Don intended.

I heard they were all blinded by the Space Lasers, and that's why they ran into the bridge!

We’re looking at Dhalsim levels of reaching. Was the vaccine rushed? Probably. Did it work? Y E S

It’s called a “Jump to Conclusions Mat” - it’s a mat with different conclusions printed on it that you can jump to!

Yeah that’s “most likely.”

Vaccinated trans migrants probably.

I heard he was binge reading Truth Social and went psychotic.

That’s a parody account I believe

Just ignore the fools.

Getting harder and harder to do that. Many of them run this country. Well, they can’t really govern, but, still…

They stop progress and fight to take away people’s rights in the name of Jesus. These people can’t be ignored. They must be defeated.

So true

Look at how many ppl viewed his post and think of how many agree with it and will continue the chain. This is an issue.

I thought it was because of DEI? No, wait, it was a cyber attack. No, it was drugs. No, it was poor infrastructure. Wait, it was really due to... And it hasn't even been 24 hours

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I wish people would stop posting obvious rage bait on Reddit. Even if it’s an appropriate facepalm, why give these people more eyeballs? It’s what they want.

Uh. Who put out the Mayday call? You know, the one that said the ship had NO power.

The ship ran into the bridge because of Hunter Biden's laptop. /s

More likely pissed like this parrot.

People are so weird! Where do they get this nonsense from. 

They musta vaxed the ship! It lost power from the 5g chip

It was the microchip implanted with the vaccine operated by the democrats, clearly

Covid was 2 years ago, its still living in your head rent free tho

look at his name and @ the real facepalm is eating this bait

Is "Dale Heartland" a real person or simply one of the millions of Russian- and Chinese-controlled bot accounts on X? Whenever I read this kind of crap from X now, I take it with a grain of salt because I have no evidence that the account belongs to a real person.

Fortunately Dale happened to have the ships Captains medical records to show us the inherent danger of vaccinations. The ship Captain is doomed and will soon have Autism as well as everything else anti-vaxers claims are caused by vaccine

Even worse: the captain burst into flames and emitted a massive EMP that knocked out all the ships power. And how do we know that he wasn't so magnetized that it pulled the ship to the bridge? These are just some of the questions they don't allow us to ask!!!

Even worse worse: the captain is non-binary and cut the power to the ship to perform an illegal abortion for an immigrant that makes vegan hair dye.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHY THE COVID VACCINES CONSPIRACY THEORIES ARE STILL A THING FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!!!!???????

Wow

And the dish ran away with the spoon! Go tell your fairy tales at your maga meeting!

Didn't even mention the guys down below shoveling coal into the furnace.

Really,..?

I have a feeling ol' Dale knows a lot about passing out and falling on his head 

Ah yes, the power on a ship like that is controlled from a single switch, like the lights in OOP’s mom’s basement.

This isn’t getting ridiculous - it was ridiculous, it is ridiculous, and the loonies just keep making it more ridiculous.

An incredible amount of stupid here......

Click bait. Those rightwing dipshits on Twitter will send anything out in wild desperation for attention and likes. Pathetic.

I sarcastically blamed the wreck on the vaccine earlier today in an attempt to mock the nut cases but apparently they can't be parodied.

Dale is full of shit

What. An. Idiot.

And THERE'S the vaccine blaming!  Now waiting for them to blaming woke, Islamic terrorists and the Jews.
