Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Remember, a Trump never pays their debts.
Like the Lannisters, but even dumber than Cersei in the books.
“I’m going to start my own WHO, with crystals and essential oils…..” The US….probably.
Crystal healing is far too left wing for most of the US, we prefer our diluted bleach and faith healing untainted with your hippy nonsense thankyou very much.
What are you on about you liberal extremist you? It’s horse dewormer that’s the proven medicine. Stop trying to stereotype us as bleach drinkers - we only do that once every six months
Don't forget the HCQ, you RINO!!!111
(More seriously, a lot of cranks have looooooved their colloidal silver for many years, too)
Only during COVID...
Oh it has not been only during COVID lol. They've been coming up with all sorts of other zany off label uses for ivermectin since then
Yep, dumbass Scott Adams the Taco supporter tried it on his cancer as a treatment, apparently.
And I'm glad he's dead.
It's not though, they've realized that the right is extremely gullible so now they market there.
The Cheeto left without paying? As per usual, you mean...
Good. At this point the more isolated US is the better. Them leaving WHO only means they won't be able to block things and push their fascist agenda.
I agree, USA would probably just be a bad influence on WHO anyway.
Denying science and demanding WHO follow American politics.
It sucks that USA has sunk so deep, they have the qualified people, but common superstition means more than actual knowledge and qualifications in USA now.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the US will make their own Board of Health. Trump will then claim that he has found the cure for cancer - a special compound created when arsenic trioxide is bathed in chlorine gas. And Trump will then kindly offer to cure all of Denmark's citizens of cancer, with force if necessary.
Better dead than under US rule.
Can't wait for the next pandemic, which is tracked in detail by the WHO and magically never appears in the US while unattributed deaths skyrocket.
That's the neat part!
There'll be no deaths whatsoever. There'll be millions of Americans who simply stop making public appearances forever but still manage to vote GOP every election, somehow.
Breathing life into dark futures
Measles is already here running wild in South Carolina.
The US has been a nation no-one should treat as a serious entity since 2024-11-05, and will not be again until they can prove their ability to hold another legitimate election.
Right now it’s a coin flip as to whether I’ll see that within the remainder of my lifetime.
At the current rate of most US citizens waiting until the midterms to see what happens, I anticipate not seeing it in my lifetime.
Meanwhile I got a new gun today and doubled my ammo stock.
Brilliant GOP strategy—“saving” millions of dollars by destroying public health programs & unnecessarily immiserating countless vulnerable people around the world
I just want all the conservatives to die during the next pandemic and for all hospitals to refuse them access. All conservative men, women, and children should just stay home and pray to death. They won't be missed.
Yikes, that's really gonna mess with the WHO. The WHOs 2025 funding was $291.43 million and the US's contribution is the highest at $65.16 million (~22% of the WHOs funding). The next highest is China at $43.79 million, then Japan at $23.06 million, Germany at $17.54 million, and the UK at $12.56 million.

I thought Americans were used to paying medical bills?
No, we go into crippling debt.
But the WHO are in debt.
Well, maybe diphtheria won't be that bad...
Medical advisors were warning about the developments of super bugs due to over use of antibiotics and other medicines especially from Meat and Milk Industries. I think they have some how contributed to this move.
Another typical Trump business partner.
This is exacerbated by Trump, but it didn't begin under Trump.
Yep. The crazy John Birch Society types have been with us for much, much, much longer than Donvict was in office.
That group and similar anti-intellectuals have been a drag on this country for decade upon decade.
