The President needs the approval of Congress to pull out of WHO, but I don’t expect it to stop him.
I also believe there is a waiting period as well. Because I think he tried the same thing last time he was in office, but because it doesn’t take effect immediately it didn’t actually happen.
And according this NPR piece in 2020 it looks like the waiting period is a year, so Trump was out of office before it would have taken effect.
His “Project Lightspeed” bullshit used WHO resources as well 🤣
He’s literally just trying to pull the same shit he tries with everyone on the planet. “I didn’t like the result , so I’m not paying you”. That’s all his simple mind can process. He doesn’t understand what it means to not participate in a global health organization whose sole purpose is stop pandemic-like situations.
We are fucked…
This fatalism is so fucking pathetic.
Did the left start winning and forget that we have always had to struggle and fight for every scrap of humanity the oligarchy and the political class try to hoard?
What the fuck?
Stop crying.
My dude, we can hold both the idea of “we’re so fucked” and “we’re going to fight like hell” in our brain. Fuck off with your patronizing bullshit.
I’m sorry, my dude. I am just so tired of seeing this all - the - fucking - time.
I am not trying to be patronizing. My bad. I want us all motivated to do good shit, rather than just feel like we are fucked. 🤷♂️
We can win.
Bruh, a literal fascist who wants to be a dictator day one and wants lifetime control over the country was just elected by more people than the alternative.
Fuck you.
Our two party first past the post voting system and its long and fraught history lead to some minority percentage of the US population getting their dude into power. Over a guy in his 80s apparently blind to genocide who passed the torch to <checks notes> a former prosecutor with a “tough on crime” persona who spent a lot of time hobnobbing with celebs and saying everything was going fine, including the genocide. That is true.
I want to not be fatalist and doomer. And if this were 2016, I would agree. But we had 8 years of everything Trump and his crew of assholes want on full display for 8+ years, and people STILL picked him.
This is what people want.
And I ran out of fucks back in like 2020.
At this point, I just want to be sure to point and laugh at every Trumper who gets serious ill or loses their Social Sexurity or gets deported etc etc over these policies they chose.
I want to laugh and go “hah hah” in Nelson style, every time.
If you think I am an “abusive conservative” based on what I have said here, I can’t help you.
America is about to experience some real brain drain.
I guess Canada is best positioned to benefit
start surrounding the white house with bird feeders
…because donvict didn’t kill enough people with Covid; he hopes to do even more damage in the next round.
