Unleash COVID-25.
AKA Measels
I did not know the structure of measles until you made me look it up.
They have since admitted it was a mistake and then rehired all the white ones.
I hate that I can't tell if this is satire.
it must be because in the case of RFK Jr he wouldn't really care about race; he'd just want anyone with proper medical education gone so he wouldn't have to hear the phrase "that's the biggest crock of shit I've heard" every day.
It's 30% satire. Some of the white ones were terrible Lefties that have been to a college and so they didn't re-hire ALL of them.
Great, who is going to tell me that kids need to get infected with airborne AIDS in order to protect the rich now?
Everyday these fucking assholes. That's why I stopped speculating what else fucking damage they would do -- stop giving the bastards ideas.
They need to be stopped completely.
I’ve been saying this for many many years now. Republicans are simply too far right wing to engage in anything but total annihilation with. They’ve gotta go. I want to put them to work rebuilding society; they need to physically build public hospitals, colleges, parks, infrastructure, etc.
RFK is on track to have one of the highest kill counts for a powerful US figure in the first quarter of the 21st century. That is an intimidating sentence and yet it seems to be undeniably true, I don't see how we can swerve from the path of mass amounts of unnecessary death in the US from disease. Shame on us.
Not just in the United States. The Lancet estimates just cancelling USAID will kill 14 million people between now and 2030. 14 million avoidable deaths because the world's richest man thought feeding the poor was a waste.
RFK is on track to do a lot of damage, but he has some stiff competition.
RFK is on track to do a lot of damage, but he has some stiff competition.
Yes but RFK genuinely terrifies me more than the competition, he is a super-critical confluence of stupidity, confidence and undisguised fascism.
I am ADHD, RFK is intent on killing people like me off through his policy, that isn't an exaggeration and he is likely to succeed by the look of things. The centrist position in the US is that people like me have had it coming, sooooo...
And they will still blame communism somehow
Another reason not to visit the US. They can't prevent disease and aren't even trying. All they want is your money.
My country is being destroyed right in front of me. What a time to be alive!
I remember the time when every weekend there was good news like NASA launching a new space station component on the space shuttle. They did have bad news like the shuttle blowing up and the NASDAQ dropping 10 points on the same day. But usually news had puppies being adopted and new vaccines or a new animal discovered.
Now its all about what I can't do anymore starting this week. Like bikes are not allowed anymore. Or you can't kiss in public or below the chin. Can't wear colored shirts or shorts but pants may still be blue. If you're lucky you could be illegal this week too!
9% of the remaining staff.
Another 4,000 government employees were fired across other vital programs.
We are still leas than a year into this 4 years presidency.
There isnt just gonna be a fixing this. The US is going to have to take decades to rebuild itself from scratch whenever this fascist agenda ends.
4 years presidency.
So that's not inherently guaranteed. The constitution can be amended - hell, term limits themselves come from an amendment, not the original text. I believe there's at least one supreme court justice who doesn't even believe in amendments - if it wasn't in the original text of the constitution, it doesn't count.
Luckily POTUS himself can't legally suspend or delay elections. But I'm pretty sure a sympathetic congress can.
Even if the US somehow manages to have another election and elect a sane president, it will be an almost impossible task to undo all the damage the Trump regime did.
That is precisely the reason for the existential dread this has brought to my life as I ponder what kind of world will be left to my kids when I die.
I can't even rest assured that people in power after Trump will not be Trumpists, and even if I could be assured of that, I'm not at all sure we're going to get all this shit fixed before whatever the next catastrophe is.
I expect to die of old age in a world where we have not yet returned to at least as good as where things were when Trump took over. (and there was already a lot of fucked up shit then.)
And as someone who has spent nearly six decades rooting for humanity in most ways, I'm pretty fucking disappointed that we dropped the ball this hard on this one.
I believe that is the point of all of this
They literally laid it all out in Project 2025. There are some nuances to how it's unfolding but this is what they wanted.
Meanwhile, the pedo in chief got his flu & COVID booster. These fucking people…
“This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared.”
No, they should be mad. Mad as hell that this government is dismantling all the safe-guards that keep them safe.
The USA is simultaneously broadcasting to militaries around the world that America is going to ignore the Geneva convention/greenlight warcrimes, and they're dismantling the infrastructure that would've been used to defend themselves against biological weapons.
Remember a couple of minutes ago when the world shut down because we were woefully unprepared for a pandemic?
This is a smart money saving measure, theres no way a pandemic can happen twice.
You kidding? The Trump regime was rooting for the virus initially because it was killing "liberals". Then they realized it was killing more of their supporters.
Don't be mistaken - this is meant to kill people. This is an attack on every man, woman, and child in the US.
Other countries should just stop tourists from the USA from entering - the damn place is a biohazard at this point.
