    The President needs the approval of Congress to pull out of WHO, but I don’t expect it to stop him.

      I also believe there is a waiting period as well. Because I think he tried the same thing last time he was in office, but because it doesn’t take effect immediately it didn’t actually happen.

      And according this NPR piece in 2020 it looks like the waiting period is a year, so Trump was out of office before it would have taken effect.

        His “Project Lightspeed” bullshit used WHO resources as well 🤣

        He’s literally just trying to pull the same shit he tries with everyone on the planet. “I didn’t like the result , so I’m not paying you”. That’s all his simple mind can process. He doesn’t understand what it means to not participate in a global health organization whose sole purpose is stop pandemic-like situations.

      This fatalism is so fucking pathetic.

      Did the left start winning and forget that we have always had to struggle and fight for every scrap of humanity the oligarchy and the political class try to hoard?

      What the fuck?

      Stop crying.

        Bruh, a literal fascist who wants to be a dictator day one and wants lifetime control over the country was just elected by more people than the alternative.

        Fuck you.

          Our two party first past the post voting system and its long and fraught history lead to some minority percentage of the US population getting their dude into power. Over a guy in his 80s apparently blind to genocide who passed the torch to <checks notes> a former prosecutor with a “tough on crime” persona who spent a lot of time hobnobbing with celebs and saying everything was going fine, including the genocide. That is true.

            Hobnobbing with celebs, pretending to be tougher than they are, and lying about their own success. Three things Donald Trump has never done.

            I think you and your ilk are going to come to the conclusion soon that the gamble y’all played this past election is going to blow up in your faces.

            we won’t be your pawns to sacrifice.

        My dude, we can hold both the idea of “we’re so fucked” and “we’re going to fight like hell” in our brain. Fuck off with your patronizing bullshit.

          I’m sorry, my dude. I am just so tired of seeing this all - the - fucking - time.

          I am not trying to be patronizing. My bad. I want us all motivated to do good shit, rather than just feel like we are fucked. 🤷‍♂️

          We can win.

            Oh, I’m motivated all right, but good isn’t a description I’d give any of it. Next year is gonna be messy.

            See you at the police blockades. Bring gloves for the teargas canisters.

            Hell yeah man, it’s all good, I’m sorry for coming in hot there. It’s going to suck but I’m with you and believe we’ve got this in the long run. Going to be a shitty four years (again) though

              It’s a great time to be organizing to build the future, solidarity gets stronger in shitty times. More people than ever have realized that the democrats are, and always have been center right, that is what liberal means everywhere else in the world, they are not the key, they are not us and now is our time!

    America is about to experience some real brain drain.

    I guess Canada is best positioned to benefit
