      Right now, this life we are in is exhausting. It's similar to being married to a raging drunk who bellows his anger for hours and hours when sober, only to be violent when drunk on a continuous basis. But you can't get out of the marriage for some reason because the community eliminated social services and other organizations except for the police who does not "serve and protect." You can't blame Fake News for all this bad stuff because it's real. You can't blame Trump alone because his supporters are all-in on the bad stuff like blood-thirsty sharks. Right now, it seems like evil is winning. It takes a special amount of strength to defeat this tidal wave of evil, and many of us are spent.

      While it's true that withdrawing from the WHO is a bad move, It's also true that the WHO is China's lapdog. They have been for years. The top dog of the WHO, the Director-General, was Margaret Chan, who was also the Chinese delegate from 2006 - 2017. During this period, the WHO became increasingly vocal in their endorsements of traditional chinese medicines. That's right, the traditional chinese medicines that are driving illegal wildlife trade and putting so many species in danger. The TCM that is rooted in superstition, and not scientific observation. The TCM that has repeated shown to be no more effective then placebo. Curiously, the WHO doesn't support other forms of alternative medicine, like homeotheraphy. Only TCM gets a free pass. Because China.

Apparently his ancestor came to the US, and when asked about his name, the US official couldn’t understand it and just asked him where he was from. He responded with “I’m from Alsace” (a region at the Franco-German border which changed hands many times, written “Elsass” in German), to which the official told him that his name would be Elsaess from now on.
      Oh, and of course there’s a certain family, not sure if you’ve heard of them, who came to the US around the beginning of the 20th century and changed their original family name of “Drumpf” to smg else...

      Todd Crispin In order to claim that that an entire hospital is in on a conspiracy to lie about the test results, this requires some substantial evidence.

      @@Lyxtwa Exactly... people just crave conspiracies, but never realize the implication.
      I don't think "governments" are smart enough to pull conspiracies like that, they all have their head stuck up each others ass looking for more money to grab for themselves.
      They're not going to waste money on paying off regular doctors who probably make enough money on standby, compared to what they could possibly lie about for a guy who's going to be in power for at most 8 years, their "party" at most 20? yeah such stupid conspiracies are just retarded.
