Truly some of the dumbest people are now in control of the US Government.

Im interested to see how other world leaders respond. Clearly, the US is withdrawing from international commitments, but other countries certainly realize the benefits of having these organizations. I am hopeful that other nations step up to fill the gap.

Perhaps we are witnessing the unraveling of the Informal Empire in real time. Historic moment!



It's not dumb when it's evil:

This has nothing to do with the WHO.


Apparently you forgot the WHO's catastrophic missteps during COVID?

At some point, you need to fire your under-performing partners.

Oh please. Biden has dementia.


Was it wise to replace dementia with dementia?


No! Kamala's run was a mistake!


And yet, somehow, they've managed the difficult task of under-performing someone with dementia.


Oh yeah that's why they pulled him, because he was doing such a great job.


Individuals don't run the government, something that will become clear as day by the end of next quarter.

A single person couldn't possibly have the bandwidth to be able to direct government, especially someone over the age of 70.

Do you really think Trump or Biden are sitting down and drafting executive orders themselves? Do you even think they came up with their campaigns themselves?

There are organizations behind these things, composed of partisan ideologues. That is how you get the bullshit in the last administration and the bullshit in this administration.


He didn't run the government by himself.

The Biden administration was composed of way more career oriented individuals in the right place than this administration. You have to be lying to yourself (or believing others who are lying to you) to think otherwise.
