Might be him at this rate
I'm old enough that I had a smallpox vax as a kid, but they stopped doing them in the late 70s.
Disease weeds out the weak. /s
Americas elected leaders no longer deserve to share the same bubble of air as the rest of humanity. Eviscerate them.
77+ million idiots voted for this... it's not just the leaders they elected at fault. Plenty of these people are to blame as well.
Don't forget the sitouts. Never forget the sitouts.
I’m convinced he just wants people to die. Period. Doesn’t matter who.
Can’t have chronic disease if there’s no one to be sick
Kapo Stephen "PeeWee Himmler " Miller has said that he wants to reduce the population from 335 million to 100 million, and he wants them to be rich and white. So anything that kills massive amount of Americans is a positive. Poor health care plays directly into that objective. Also, expect poorly managed wars, with a draft, at some point.
And this will improve public health?
In the long run. Enough MAGAs and their children will eventually die off that Democrats will easily win elections, and they can finally do Medicare 4 All. It's Darwinism.
Glad my kids are already vaccinated holy shit
These people are so stupid, that even after killing so many unvaxxed conservatives with Covid, they are doubling down on the anti-vaxx nonsense. As long as intelligent people can still get their kids vaxxed, its only the children of ignorant MAGA Morons who will be dying.
It's literally Darwinism in action, but they're so stupid they don't understand or believe in that, either.
May a rotting chimp he eats give him an ironic fate
Man, it's one thing to kick the US into a third world country, but making it into the world's largest pepper colony is quite a step that I didn't see coming
I know what you mean, but knowing what words mean means something too. The US can't become a third world country.
Can't? It's already halfway there.
Dictatorial regime in charge
Very low to (soon) hardly any education standards
Barely any healthcare available for anyone
Highly corrupt
Highly corrupt police force that can act with near impunity
Nearly all news outlets are controlled by government and spew nothing but propaganda 24/7
Largest part of the population is or is sliding into poverty
Rampant homelessness
I can go on for a while...
You could go on, but so far you are getting nowhere. I was trying to get you to look at the definition.
