Worst Of 2020: Twisted History
What else happened in 2020 besides a pandemic? A shit ton, actually.
Australia got most of the press, but a deadly locust plague hit Africa at the same time. It was Africa's worst locust plague in decades and it threatened the continent for months, spreading across Iran, Yemen, and other parts of the Middle East. Millions of people in the Horn of Africa — specifically Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia were left without food or livelihood. The plague prompted Somalia to declare a national emergency in February, and resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of acres of crops:

According to one of his accuser's testimony (Jessica Mann) Harvey Weinstein has no testicles and appears to have a vagina.
The descriptions are never kind. You never hear a recollection of a park flasher whose equipment was “breathtaking," and sometimes those harsh victim illustrations reflect the root of these crimes. People with delightful equipment (like me) are just generally happier and therefore less likely to commit crimes of deviance.
Contrarily, men (and very infrequently, women) with disappointing genitals perhaps commit crimes of anger out of anger towards themselves, whether it be a Boston priest whose junk was described as a “nubbin” by a previously violated altar boy, or the “spotted uncooked french fry” portrait painted by so many former child actors leaving Neverland Ranch.
Now, I am going to tread very lightly here because I don’t want to poke fun or make light of what happened in the myriad of sexual abuse cases that have been reported in the last couple of years, but I also want to definitively recap the less-than-complimentary witness descriptions of the undercarriages belonging to the lowlife scum that perpetrated these crimes, so I will cherry-pick a couple of quotes from Jessica Mann's testimony against Mr Weinstein.
Jessica Mann
"The first time I saw him fully naked, I thought he was deformed or intersex," she told Manhattan Supreme Court jurors. "He has extreme scarring that I didn’t know if maybe he was a burn victim.”
"He does not have testicles and it appears like he has a vagina," she said, before acknowledging he did have a penis.
"When I first saw him naked, I was filled with compassion, absolute compassion," she said, admitting she performed consensual oral sex on him. It seemed his anger came from a place of shame.”
I think we can all agree that Harvey Weinstein (much like Woody Allen) is what I refer to as "a teaspoon full of cum," who deserves to be buried underneath a prison. Imagine being so heavy that your testicles just flat-out gave up competing with the fat that was trying to escape through your crotch? Or, imagine if all that escaping fat was overflowing so much on either side of your dick, that it formed a soft fleshy canoe that looks like a puffy vagina to the naked eye?
This word gets used a lot in society, but …YIKES.
The 68 year-old was found guilty on two of five felonies in February, 2020, and was sentenced to 23 years in prison. He is serving his sentence at Wende Correctional Facility, just outside of Buffalo.
Harvey got his start promoting concerts with his brother in Buffalo (His production company brought some top acts to Buffalo, including Frank Sinatra, The Who, Jackson Browne, and the Rolling Stones), and the prison is not to far from The University of Buffalo, who revoked Weinstein’s honorary doctorate even before he was sentenced, saying his conduct "contradicts the spirit of the honorary degree.”
Good riddance Weinstein.

On March 23, Colorado became the 22nd state in the US to repeal the death penalty. The punishment was only administered once since it was reinstated in the state in the 1970s, in a rape and murder case in 1997. Nationally, the US executed a total of 17 prisoners in 2020, 16 by lethal injection.
That total of 17 was the lowest number of executions in the United States since 1991, when only 14 people were put to death. The number of executions peaked at 98 in 1999, and dropped to 35 by 2014 and now 17 in 2020. The number of people on death row in the United States, which was nearly 3,600 in the early 2000s, is now under 2,600.
California has the largest death row population, more than 720, but it has not executed anyone since 2006. As a matter of fact, only two states west of Texas, Arizona and Idaho, have carried out an execution in the past decade.

The Land O’ Lakes girl was cancelled.
The US Census Bureau released data that showed the US population is growing at its slowest pace since 1919.
The data was collected in the 12 months leading up to July 2019, well before the coronavirus outbreak took hold. One demographer told The New York Times that if the pandemic results in as many deaths as the worst case projections predict, then we could see more deaths than births for the first time in US history.
I was under the impression that birth rates were going UP in the pandemic for obvious reasons, BUT whether social distancing urged romantic partners to meet less, or financial strain and child care uncertainty caused families to hit pause on having kids, the coronavirus pandemic has led to a DECLINE in both planned and unplanned pregnancies. A Brookings Institute report projects around 300,000 fewer births next year nationwide.

In India, a monkey stole COVID samples. A monkey attacked a lab technician, snatched vials containing blood samples from three coronavirus patients and escaped through a window.
Google the shit out of the video. It shows the monkey sitting atop a tree with the samples it stole.

July, 2020
July of 2020 might have been the deadliest month EVER for young Americans. From early March to the end of July, 76,088 Americans between the ages of 25 and 44 lost their lives. In July alone, the tally rose above 16,500 deaths, amounting to what could well be the deadliest month in US history for young adults.
The pandemic is more than likely responsible for the increase, BUT a research letter published in the Journal of the American Medical Association has estimated the level of mortality we should expect for that same month to be just over 13,000, giving us another 3,400 deaths that – statistically speaking – we never expected. For perspective, during WWII, US casualties for that same age group averaged around 6,600 a month. July was 16,500.
At the top of the list of usual mortalities for adults in this age group is a jumble of causes labelled 'unintentional injury.’ This includes things like falls and motor vehicle accidents, yet a growing contributor to this category are accidental drug overdoses, especially opioids.

A serial rapist in Northern California whose crimes went undetected for nearly three decades was sentenced to 897 years in state prison, the maximum allowed by law.
