Ding Dong the puppet is gone

And pull the plug the American voters did.

Well at least you finally agree he's going to kill people.

There is a lot of corruption within the WHO and how its run. Funding mostly the US. chins has way more people then the US yet pays %90 less than the US. It's a bad deal the the US... and the WHO didn't do much for the covid thing. Money that could have been better spent here. I am sure you'll find the US back with WHO when that better deal comes around. Probably sooner than later.

lol sorry no racism-flavored criticism of WHO is not a cogent argument for stopping research funded by NIH

Spain is apparently a part of BRICS now. Good that trump clarified that, since not even the Spanish were aware.


But Biden was the one with mental issues lol.

Canada as the 51st state would hilariously blow up in Trump's face since it would effectively add another California.

[The Mad Monk]

Maybe 4 or 5 Californias.

It's the Senate where it would really hurt.

[BeBMan]

Maybe all countries should be US states. I don't think Trump would have much of a chance in the next elections

[N35t0r]

Those in the US should stock up on coffee. lol.

Why? The socialist dip **** in Colombia caved in exactly 39 minutes flat. Turns out he will allow his own citizen criminals to be deported back to their own country after all. I imagine those 39 minutes were spent with his lead economic advisors explain to the socialist ******** how their entire national economy would be in depression unless he accepts taking his own criminals back. Yet another win.

Not even a week into Trump 2.0 and ICE has already wrongly detained US citizens. They will absolutely kill Americans before his term is done.

In the meantime, with Trump putting a stop to essentially everything the NIH does just because, clinical trials for experimental cancer treatments overseen by the National Cancer Institute can't go forward. Which means there will almost certainly be cancer patients who are going to die because their last hope was denied to them. There are any number of reasons why a clinical trial for an experimental cancer drug might not receive funding, but "Fauci was mean to me on TV" is emphatically not one of them.

Again... Trump doesn't give a damn about Americans. Just rich Americans

[-Jrabbit]

If they're rich, no need for them to be American. Just ask Elon.

I think Trump is going to come out hard against all non-military discretionary federal spending throughout this term in office. Of course the grossly unsustainable level of federal spending is so overwhelmingly composed of entitlement payouts, let alone entitlement payouts+military spending that there would still be large deficits even with total elimination of non-military discretionary spending. And then Trump will probably go to war against the IRS and move forward with new kinds of tax cuts such as the elimination of taxes on tips. The only new revenue will be from tariffs which will be extremely regressive and inflationary. Actions like his EO halting private development of offshore windfarms further demonstrate that he's perfectly happy to increase government regulatory burden when he has a personal axe to grind. As poorly as the economy performed under Biden Trump seems to be trying to arrange to serve it even worse.

The current system is corrupt and captured by special interests so it is unreformable. The best way to fix this problem is to close the corrupt agencies completely, fire the staff to end the culture of corruption, then replace them with new reformed and much more efficient agencies.

Entitlements alone make up more than half the federal budget and set to grow to 65% as the baby boomers all retire. It is going to half to be rationalized and reformed in a substantial way.

The current system is corrupt and captured by special interests so it is unreformable. The best way to fix this problem is to kill a bunch of people.

Weird take.
