Trump halts American funding for WHO

[westaussie]

You missed his main one. Surely lying is his number one activity, avocation and vocation?

[westaussie]

Or sacked.

Other administrations have had many more staff staff who have done far worse criminal behaviour but we’re not indicted for them. Eric Holder and Lois Lerner come to mind. That is truly scandal plagued.

If only Republican controlled the DOJ and could bring Eric Holder to justice.

Maybe, by the end of Trump’s second term, they will control the DOJ.

So Trump lied when he said that Mexico would pay for the wall? It is an absurdity and self-defeating for Trump to halt funding for the WHO.

It wasn’t a lie. They will pay for it and are paying for it with interest. One illegal immigrant at a time. They are even paying extra for it in these current times because they are really working hard to stop the illegals at their southern boarder, who left unchecked would have made it to the US. So yes they are paying for it. Trump was correct

So we can restore the money Trump appropriated from the military to help pay for the wall? Since Mexico is paying as you said. When will the US be getting the check, I’m sure the military would like to get those defunded programs back up and running.

No, that truly is rumor plagued. Under our Constitution, people are innocent until proven guilty. So let’s stick to who has been proven guilty and not go lumping those who are innocent in with them.

Yes, I know. A lot of people wish they had my connections. Life is hard. It’s harder if your stupid. Cant remember who said that. Anyways, the states have the money and all you have to do is collect it up.

I genuinely laughed. Your self-deprecating humor is on point

[komobu]

@acsirip …As an aside, how did you come by your user name?

[komobu]

As one of my connections ransom was telling me, "All the harping on the United States.

China…provides 5.15% of WHO funds. Kudos to Germany who provides 7.1% of all WHO contributions. And then there is only one other nation who gives a double digit contribution, that is Japan at 10.8%. The United States…provides 22% of all World Health Organization contributions.

And Trump has just launched a shot across the bow of the WHO. Tighten up or your major contributor is going to sail on you, we can put that money into teacher salaries in 3rd world nations, sanitary projects in Africa and Asia Minor, or direct funding for PETA to actually do some good and go protest Chinese wet markets."

Kellyanne just said the WHO should have gotten their acts together during COVID-1 to COVID-18. I mean, they had 18 chances! (I think someone should let her know the “19” in COVID-19 refers to 2019. The year in which it appeared.)

I hope that she is embarrassed by this. But I doubt it.

Listen. I’m an archaeologist, and anthropologist. The vast majority of human existence was in bands, more-or-less egalitarian societies. This was the predominant social system that sustained the human condition. The origins of sedentary life, the domestication of plants and animals changed that equation. In a comparatively brief time, social stratification and inequality, organized warfare, slavery, and other components of modern society emerged. Including denser populations and diseases of overcrowding. The neolithic experiment has not yet proven adaptive in the long run.

Yeah it’s so much worse now.

For most people. Apparently, life was pretty good as a hunter-gatherer. What did Jared Diamond claim was the worst mistake in the history of humanity?

Well now Jimmuh Carter is mad about Trump defunding the WHO.
