Shithole country.
Let's swim in it!
No, we've known where RFK Jr has been the whole time
Explosive Diarrhea is a fitting metaphor for this regime too.
Great pic of the worm captain there
The parasite still munching away at RFK’s remaining gray matter:
“Ah, yes. Everything is going according to plan…”
That Brain worm is starving to death though
That’s why it’s looking to ensure new hosts.
no monitoring means no news... brilliant
What a disgrace, considering that just a year and a half ago, the CDC was one of the most important medical organizations in the world.
The blatant incompetence and boundless greed of this regime are not only responsible for diarrhea and the decline of the U.S. as a center of scientific excellence: the decisions made by these criminals are directly causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
It is irreparable damage—the kind no one could have anticipated amid this absurdity. The lesson is clear: the U.S. cannot be trusted, as the unscrupulousness of its leaders knows no bounds.
Honestly at this point the United States of America should balkanize
Oh, I anticipated all of this. What I didn't anticipate was how quickly the fall of ~~Rome~~ the United States of America would take place.
Rome took centuries to "fall" (and another millennium for the other half). From the death of Marcus Aurelius and the stability of his reign in 180 CE to the death of the last Western Emperor Julius Nepos and formal dissolution in 480 CE, it still lasted longer than the US' entire lifespan so far. Hell, the Crisis of the Third Century started ~230CE, still leaving us with 250 years.
We'll see how quickly the US will actually fall. I don't believe it will be quick, but I'm sure there will be interesting lessons for future historians to draw.
Yes, it was foreseeable that the MAGA fascists would ruthlessly enrich themselves, and also that there was an immediate danger they would do everything in their power to establish a full-fledged autocracy in place of the usual oligarchy with a veneer of democracy -which is exactly what they are doing.
Nevertheless, I think the degree of ruthlessness with which these criminals are operating caught the world completely off guard: Many countries, for example, followed the guidelines issued by the CDC right up until the very end - regarding countless medical procedures, such as preventing infections with nosocomial pathogens during catheter insertion, etc.
No one could have foreseen that this globally important organization would be completely and senselessly dismantled -which is exactly what this deranged conspiracy theorist, who was appointed secretary of health without any expertise whatsoever, did: The CDC effectively no longer exists; at any rate, it is now merely a shadow of its former self, as countless scientists were simply fired for trying to oppose the outrageous nonsense that Kennedy is propagating - this no longer has the slightest connection to science, which is why no reputable scientist can support this course of action.
It is simply utter madness! Now the world must reorganize itself, which will take years, if not decades.
And this is just one of countless crimes this terrorist regime is committing against humanity. It is plunging the world into chaos so that the billionaires behind this regime can enrich themselves even more than they already do - by brute force, by nothing but the law of the jungle.
All of this results in a regression of civilization and robs humanity of achievements that took a very long time to build - from international law to climate protection agreements, humanitarian efforts, and international cooperation in the scientific sector.
I don’t think anyone could have expected this to happen, because it is nothing short of insanity.
just a year and a half ago, the CDC was one of the most important medical organizations in the world.
It was just a matter of time before we treated the CDC like the SEC or the EPA.
They will still claim 'but communism' while ignoring that this is capitalism at its rawest, most unadulterated form.
MASA - Make America Shit Again
If this system is what I think it is, it's the wastewater monitoring, which was a tool that helped with monitoring Covid. Remember, if we don't test, the rates drop.
You do know you can read the article to find that out instead of assuming, right?
This is a completely different monitoring system called Foodnet
I didn't read that article but I read your comment and I'm ready to believe whatever you say.
I'll take your word on it, thanks!
Same 👍
Yeah this sounds right 👍
RFK Jr looking out for his parasite homies
A government for the parasites, by the parasites.
If nothing else, their incompetence will give us all the proof we need about why these agencies need to be run by experts and why they need to exist and be funded. I never thought I'd see the day we had to learn the hard way why greed and selfishness can't be left to run amok. Sounds exactly the way right teaches their kids, the hard way.
these agencies need to be run by experts
What experts? The NIH was defunded. 10,000 post docs have left the country. People are retiring or exiting science. No other countries are taking up the slack.
China is

If you don't test it, it doesn't exist!
Just as expected, if you elect parasites to office you get parasite friendly policies.

America is what happens to every corporation when the middle management have finally all been promoted over the threshold of their actual abilities.
The Peter Principle
The Peter principle states that a person who is competent at their job will earn a promotion to a position that requires different skills. If the promoted person lacks the skills required for the new role, they will be incompetent at the new level, and will not be promoted again.
Does not check out. People keep failing upwards, often to the very top. 🥹
Didn’t RFK have a brain parasite at one point? His parasite advocacy makes a lot more sense if you consider that he really might just be a brain worm piloting a vaguely human shaped mecha.

Maybe only the libs are shitting their pants because Rugh wingers are taking horse dewormers and anti parasite drugs like vitamins to stave off COVID.

I feel like everything in the news lately would have been really funny if it weren’t reality. Conservatives killed and ate satire.

Is this not the onion material? Or just normal in the states now?
Anyone even remotely sane in the US wishes it was the Onion. Alas, this is their new reality now.
