The goddamn Trump Administration (Part 2)

As a pediatrician, I cannot say how upsetting this is for me. My kids are gonna be hung out to dry.

Utterly random and unpredictable, but I suspect we will find out there was some quid pro quo somewhere. That seems to be the only way to make sense of this assholic administration’s actions.

Unless the control is the previously-proven vaccine, randomizing to placebo will kill people who would have lived. Full stop.

Which isn’t a thing. Neither is Don jr.’s “stage 5.” They are such idiots.

Exactly why RCTs are not generally used for vaccines. But the whole purpose here is to keep vaccines from being used at all. They want people to die.

That’s what’s so infuriating; Cancer “only” goes up to stage 4, which is incurable/fatal.

Metastasis isn’t the death sentence it used to be, but it’s not good.

But the USA worships at the altar of the free market (explaining why so many drug firms advertise directly to the public on TV) so surely everyone can just go out and buy their own shots? Can’t they?

I’m kind of stunned – I got 100%! I haven’t watched the Simpsons in many years, so I’m not really sure how.

Tracking these exports is challenging, as many services are provided through foreign affiliates, the report noted, but recent estimates “reveal a large digital trade surplus of at least $600 billion for the US, spread across categories like digital advertising, video streaming, cloud platforms, and online payment services.”

FAFO enters digital and we are truly up shit creek. Damn, these times suck.

What’s that saying? Something like “that’s so far off it’s not even wrong?”

Considering the regime’s actions leading up to Memorial Day, hopefully approval ratings for :tangerine: :clown_face: will reach record lows before No Kings Day. :crossed_fingers:t5: Here’s Randy Rainbow singing about TDS:

Honestly where else is there for Europe to take it? We live in a tariff free world so the US has unimpeded access to high value markets with its high value goods. Part of this Washington Consensus was we imposed IP law and lack of privacy laws that US tech firms want.

When unilateral tariffs were imposed why accept the rest of it?

The upside for the US is if the trade war goes to the front that the rest of the world most benefit from taking it, competition will return to the digital world.

The US will come through that fine to be honest.

Holy crap, who’s cognitively impaired.

Joe Biden was not for Open Borders, he never talked about Open Borders, where criminals of all kinds, shapes, and sizes, can flow into our Country at will. It wasn’t his idea to Open the Border, and almost destroy our Country, and cost us Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to get criminals out of our Country, and go through the process we are going through now. It was the people that knew he was cognitively impaired, and that took over the Autopen. They stole the Presidency of the United States, and put us in Great Danger. This is TREASON at the Highest Level! They did it to destroy our Country. The Joe Biden that everybody knew would never allow drug dealers, gang members, and the mentally insane to come into our Country totally unchecked and unvetted. All anyone has to do is look up his record. Something very severe should happen to these Treasonous Thugs that wanted to destroy our Country, but couldn’t, because I came along. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

So, wait, everything that happened between January 20, 2021 and January 20, 2025 wasn’t Biden’s fault after all? Phew, that’s a relief!

So, who is “they” that Trump keeps referring to if Biden wasn’t at fault for any of this? The deep state? I can’t even keep up anymore.
