Donald J. Trump (For everyone else except Victor)
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at
And here we are... they could literally claim anything (which they will), and you guys will eat it up. Facts really don't matter anymore.
Did you know DOGE found $190 million that was used by USAID to prosecute Christians in foreign countries?
I'd bet a nickle I could post a meme like this or similar on right wing social media and it would go viral.
Here's some facts for you.
Dr. Robert Redfield, the former CDC Director, says that U.S. taxpayer money from USAID, NIH, State Department, and DOD funded the creation of SARS-CoV-2:
"They wanted a single narrative, and I had a different point of view... Science has debate, and they squashed any debate... There's no doubt that NIH was funding gain of function research."
Is it likely that American tax dollars funded the gain-of-function research that created this virus?
"I think it did. Not only from NIH, but from the State Department, USAID, and from DOD."
maggies is a beijing institution and their clientele were nearly exclusively us government employees it's back in maine so i can't take a photo of it but, i actually have a shirt that says "eat, sleep, maggies"
it was so well known that they literally closed it down temporarily for the olympics because it was a little too on the nose
Great more people that have no effing idea what gain of function research is and trying to use it to mean the same thing as creating a bio weapon.
An out of context quote about GoF framed to be about creation of the virus (not even close to the same thing) followed by more woo woo from Robert Malone. Great contribution as usual, BJ.

Here's some facts for you.
Does someone need to explain facts from opinions to you?
lol quoting twitter and asserting it is 'facts'
Trump (unfortunately) doesn't want to drastically reduce government in terms of $$ spent.
He doesn't intend to touch defense, medicare, social security. You know that is a credible claim because it's politically ultra-toxic to touch those so republicans in congress won't ever find the votes to touch those, no matter what Trump will say in the future.
Those, + interest payments, make up the vast majority of federal expenditures.
So we all know, basically for a certainty, that no matter how 2026 el
If he is able to cut 20% of gov't spending, which I don't think he will be able to do, it would be huge for the poor and middle class of today and tomorrow. Every dollar they cut is one less dollar the gov't has to take from the tax payers pocket today or tomorrow and this would equal real sustainable economic growth that we haven't seen in decades.
the guy in this thread who says stuff like ' So Elon's making everything up?' with an indignant tone is hilarious.
Here's some more facts for you.
EcoHealth Alliance – the disgraced research firm accused of using taxpayer funds to conduct gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab before the COVID-19 pandemic began – received nearly $100 million from the federal government over the past decade and a half.
From FY 2008 to FY 2024, the U.S. government provided EcoHealth Alliance an estimated $94.3 million in taxpayer funds through contracts, grants, direct payments, loans and other financial assistance, according to a Fox News Digital review of government spending data provided by USAspending.gov.
Fox News Digital reported last year that millions of dollars in federal research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) were awarded to the nonprofit to study bat coronaviruses in China. The Department of Health and Human Services inspector general released a 64-page report in January 2023 that found NIH did not adequately follow its policies and procedures with respect to three grants to EcoHealth Alliance between 2014 and 2021, totaling about $8 million.
As for the total number of taxpayer dollars given by the federal government to EcoHealth Alliance since the start of the pandemic, Dr. Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University and a harsh critic of NIH, placed the number at upwards of $50 million.
"The U.S.-government has provided more than $50 million to EcoHealth just since the start of the pandemic, with most of that $50 million earmarked for the same kinds of reckless virus discovery and virus enhancement research that likely caused pandemic," Ebright said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Government agencies who gave the most funding to EcoHealth, according to Ebright, are the United States Agency for International Development, the Department of Defense and NIH.
Last week, the Department of Health and Human Services implemented an immediate, government-wide suspension of all funds allocated to EcoHealth.
and when i mean embassy district, i literally mean there's nothing there but parks and embassies - it's not like the "garment district" or "meat packing district" where it's a normal part of the city that also has or had those elements historically etc
situated on the corner of a large park 1 block down the road from where the us ambassador to china lives, with the embassies of poland, sri lanka and vietnam all within sight of the entrance
we'd go there a bunch not for hookers but for people watching (and they also had a live band every night and was open until the wee hours of the morning so was often a place to finish the night so i'd been there a good dozen times over the years - usually at the end of big pub crawl for someone's birthday or something like that - it was also a place i took a lot of visitors just for people watching) and you'd go in there and it was predominantly foreign government employees there picking out the mongolian girl of his choice - it was located where it was located for good reason
Anyone having any idea what rickroll is rambling about?
Me feels this would be a waste of my time explaining any of this to you. I'm sure you have some crazy conspiracy behind all of this, but I'm just not interested.
Today BJ learned that virology research isn't free and boy does he seem mad about it.

Definitely don't bother. He has no idea what any of the words mean and had no idea that the articles are targeting people just like him.
Note how he continuously conflates GoF with creating covid as a bioweapon to make simply funding extremely vital virology research sound sinister.
Well, the people he follows on twitter do that and he obediently spews into every corner of his stomping grounds.
I can't image what the lady at the counter at Wendy's thinks when he rolls up.

A few decades ago, there was the occasional conspiracy theory, and I could keep up and debunk them really easily. Now, it's multiple ones a day, and I don't even bother to try to know what nuttery is going on.
This is exactly why we need logic, ethics, and propaganda training in high school. If you understand propaganda, you can read something, whether it's from the left or the right, and within <30 seconds know if it's BS.
People just don't have the tools, and it's being exploited BIGLY.
Trump sanctioning ICC. Is he gonna sanction McDonalds cos his burger was a little cold next?
Who knew Elon had an alphabet fetish? X.com was in the plans all along. 😀
