tens of millions of people died, bad, because the WHO ran cover for China. “biting the hand that feeds them” absolute buffoonery

Trump is a ruinous fascist criminally corrupt cunt, who’s ineptitude and purposeful sandbagged Federal COVID response cost the lives of over A Million Americans.

The WHO showed themselves not fit for purpose firstly running interference from an obviously restricted Chinese COVID admission and response, then continued to deflect and obfuscate the CCP’s culpability in COVID’s dissemination and global infection. The Chinese government kept COVID a secret from the world, during which time it could have informed the world as to what was happening, and allowed foreign nations in to Wuhan to investigate and make recommendations to their governments what the response should be. The Chinese government did none of that, Chinese YouTubers broke and covered the COVID outbreak, and they were punished for it. The WHO (funded in great part by China) demurred, followed Chin’s lead, and hasn’t ever laid the blame for the tens of millions dead from COVID at China’s feet. I don’t trust the WHO or Ghebreyesus as far as I can throw them, they failed on the grandest scale imaginable, at the exact time all the research and funding and infrastructure which had been paid into, and built up for decades was most needed, instead choosing to be China’s bitch. Fuck the WHO, man.

we’ve been bamboozled

protip: no it really really isn’t

it’s lemmy tech bros sunk cost fallacy “not me, i don’t have to do nuthin, does’t apply to me” bullshit

oh brother, you still think we’re on a spiral, as in active? dude the spiral is complete, and now the monsters have control of all three branches of us government, they’re going to do their damnedest to make sure they change just about everything that could possibly allow the power to be taken from them ever again. should have gotten the young people to vote, but wasn’t important, looking a bit more important now, huh. dumbest thing i’ve ever seen, trump was president, fucked everything up, a million americans died bad from a pandemic due to his ineptitude, then young people stayed home and didn’t vote democrat … can’t make this shit up, the jokes write themselves. and now … unstoppable destruction, and death.

I remember the days before fast boot, you’d sit there like it was punishment, while it counted ram, then if you hit a snag, you’re in for the big hurt

Imagine driving around the fascistmobile with the attitude “yeah i know he’s a fascist billionaire destroying democracies, and throwing up the heil hitler, but i already bought this car” lol, gotta be the weakest weaksauce justification and it seems most are like “understandable” hahahahahahaa, flying the fascists flag everywhere you go

Wait a second, didn’t CNN launch a streaming service to great fanfare, then kill it deader than Dillinger before it launched, laying off hundreds when it did. Now they’re laying off hundreds to launch it again? I’m not sure CNN is on the level, folks.

they’re still not understanding their personal responsibility as good government in all of this

Spain’s a little late to the party as per usual

been asking about this from day one

see, that sounds great and everything, until you realize that if we fast foward six months from now, europe is going to watch as russia retakes ukraine without firing a shot itself, just like everyone else. cowardice has always been an option for europe, which has had since 1945 to get it’s shit together vs Russia, but instead saw the majority of it’s countries spend their GDP on 5 weeks of paid holidays a year, while deep throating Russian gas and oil, even after it illegally annexed Crimea 11 years ago. if it’s US led Europe is the tough guy standing behind, without the US, Europe hides

we havin fun yet?

The only reason Trump is making a play for Greenland and the Canal is to give Vlad cover to take over Ukraine. It couldn’t possibly be any plainer if he got on stage and told you.

it’s not hypocrisy dude, it’s cover. see the fucking game.

I love Joe Biden, always have. It seems that he lost a great deal of cognitive function over the last 8 years, and this fact was hidden from everyone outside of his circle, could have been his decision, but again loss of cognition means it also could not have been. The fact that Merritt Garland was sandbagged by Republicans which ended his nomination for Supreme Court Justice at the end of Obamas term, made him an excellent nominee for Attorney General and head of The Department of Justice, but the way he was slow rolling the prosecutions for Trump, when they should have been layups, and the way Garland couldn’t adjust and overcome the Trump lawyer onslaught of tactics to delay, doomed Bidens chances at a second term, and American democracy itself. Joe as President was responsible to oversee Garland, and they both dropped the ball in bringing Trump to justice, but the buck stops with Joe. If there’s anything at all to be angry about, it’s Joe should have protected us from Trump returning, and he failed spectacularly, and now it’s all over.
