It makes tons of sense when you think about it less as a valid presidential campaign and more an attempt to fuck up the election by siphoning away young and black voters, who majority wise support Biden more then Trump. The dude can't even get on the ballot in a good chunk of states now because he is joining too late, making actually winning the general election nearly impossible. It's obvious to me exactly why he is doing this, and it's because Trump poll's stink right now. This is his way to try and fuck it all up and honestly he shouldn't be allowed to do it.

"USDA is aware that people across the country have received suspicious, unsolicited packages of seed that appear to be coming from China," the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) said in a statement Tuesday.

I'm not convinced this actually happened. He killed a grown adult at 13? But didn't tell his older brother about it because then his brother would have killed the guy?

"... there is likely a scientific explanation for the zombie-like reemergence from their graves."

The graves were shallow, decomposition causes gasses which caused some bodies to resurface, and they're going to bury them deeper next time, and put up a fence. Hopefully the fence is to keep animals and people out. Because if you need a fence to keep bloated corpses contained...

It was slighly less mysterious for the sawblade marks in the rock around the base where you can see people cut the hole to install it, and the fact that it was hollow and riveted together instead of a single solid piece of metal.

I can see this as a movie plot: Aliens/God/ThePlanet/dolphins say they will punish humans until they get rid of all "the bad people."
"There, we got rid of the gays!" - punishment continues
"Right so we exterminated all those dirty homeless" - punishment continues
"Ok fine it'll mean we have to pick our own crops but we got rid of all the brown people." - punishment continues
