In fact, Sebastian is so completely fucking on brand in this regard, I now have come to realize that he is most likely a bot established collaboratively by the Hannity and Limbaugh camps to act as a cyber version of the sphincter of a man with dysentery, continually spraying their infected fecal stew of lies and disinformation across the web site in real time. All of Sebastian’s greatest hits are covered in the episode (from “we will see a few thousand deaths maximum” to “except for the elderly, this will be like a mild flu” to the whole “anecdotal data regarding Hydroxychloroquine” bullshit). It all originated in the Fox News/Rush Limbaugh black hole of truth, and Sebastian almost never wavered from the script. As an additional bonus, there is an oddly compelling segment about the Wendy Williams pandemic version of her show called “Wendy William At Home” that I can not do justice to in words.

I never thought it would come to this. You are taking the word of some foreigner over our very own sebby?
