Dump Term 2 Part 5: He Didn't Specify Which Civilization Would Die...

Whistleblower says Trump admin thought USAID "just did abortions" and asked for "barney-style slides" to explain drug-resistant TB. Or "super tb" as they had to call it.

"wow, there really is so much that USAID does, this is the story that needs to be out there."

-excerpts from Nicholas Enrich's new book "Into the Wood Chipper" out tomorrow.

burn in hell. this is why I'll never forgive the nonvoters and trump voters.
I have no job and thousands and thousands will die because "we're not health guys" just had to come in and rip it all up.

When I finished, the room was silent, the political appointees looking at one another in what appeared to be disbelief. The silence was broken by Ken Jackson, who chuckled softly and shook his head. “Wow, there really is so much that USAID does that we never knew,” he said. “This is the story that needs to get out there.”

Joel, also smiling, chimed in next, echoing Jackson’s amazement. “I had no idea you did all this,” he said. “As a Republican, when I think of what USAID does in global health, I assumed it was just, you know, abortions.”

Adam thought for a moment and then responded, noting that the political appointees at USAID were “not health people.” It would be hard, he surmised, for nonexperts to understand this issue. And so he suggested that we draft a simple, “Barney-style” set of slides to help the political leadership grasp the dangers, referring to the purple dinosaur of children’s television. He recommended that we use the term “Super TB” instead of “drug- resistant TB” to describe the mutations that can develop when treatment is interrupted, because it might be more likely to “catch their attention.”

Adam then made clear that he did not count himself among those po- litical appointees who were not health experts. Though he had no relevant training or experience, he reassured me that he understood the severity of infectious diseases, noting that he had recently read a book about smallpox. Apparently he had watched movies as well.

“One thing I thought of while you were talking,” he added, gesticulating wildly with his hands to conjure the image in his mind. “If you can make one of those maps like they have in Outbreak, where it shows the red growing over time as the disease spreads? You know, like the zombie apocalypse? That would be great, very effective.”

The thought that Adam might have the most health expertise of anyone in the agency’s leadership made me shudder.

Remember during the pandemic the child rapist war criminal preferred getting updates from Birk instead of Fauci because she was "elegant." He's Elmer Fudd. We just need to dress someone up as Bugs Bunny in drag and convince him to resign.

You’d think he’s doing good things to these people, but he’s just drugged the guy in the bed to lubelessly fuck him up the ass before he dies. The others are just awaiting their turns.

There’s a theory out there that the line was supposed to be that it’s a doctored image and he messed it up. I really want it to be true.

OK, so this is weird. I've noticed lately that some jpg's don't display in the messages, only the filename does. It isn't even a clickable link. It happens a lot with Miss T's posts, but it also happens sometimes with others'.

The image you included in your prior post was fine. Then I come back and it's just a filename.

Did you go back and edit the po--

Oh Jesus fuck, now the image is back! WTF???!!!

Congressional Dems briefly regain consciousness.

House Democrats filed six articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, accusing the defense secretary of “high crimes and misdemeanors”, in reference to the attack on Iran without congressional authorization and deadly strikes on suspected drug smuggling boats, among other official acts.

The move comes as the Trump administration faces mounting scrutiny over recent foreign action, particularly the war with Iran.

In Wednesday’s resolution, Yassamin Ansari, a Democratic congresswoman from Arizona, and colleagues including John Larson of Connecticut accused Hegseth of disregarding rules to minimize civilian casualties during armed conflict.
