What stupid shit has Trump done today?

Yes, there have been a few pile ons involving myself and some other newbies (even though we have been here for a few months now). I'm currently fighting back, hence my sarky remarks on here. A number of posters are denying they have done such a thing, but they blatantly have. Urban at its worst definitely.

It's actually got better here too. It used to be properly bonkers with all kinds of silly shit getting called out and pages of bunfights over people pretending to be enlightened over the most ridiculous nonsense ... like "missus". It was quite a fad for a while.

Fortunately it's now limited to a few self appointed board police who've got a reputation, and most of us just ignore or tell to fuck off. Boo Radley75 was quite correct to do the same! :thumbs:

And a few are just bellends.

That one was mental though. “Missus” for fucks sake!

Do a word search on it. There are 40 pages of instances where others have used it without comment. :facepalm: :D

I have checked the current Urban75 Acceptable Use Policy and use of the word "missus" is now no longer approved.

The current preferred alternative term is: "the old ball and chain".

Thank you for your attention.
 

Donald Trump’s transition team seeks to pull US out of WHO ‘on day one’​

Swift exit would remove global health body’s main source of funds and damage its ability to tackle emergencies

Donald Trump’s transition team is pushing to pull the US out of the World Health Organization on the first day of the new administration, according to experts who warn of the “catastrophic” impact it would have on global health.

Members of Trump’s team told the experts of their intention to announce a withdrawal from the global health body on the president-elect’s January 20 inauguration. The departure would remove the WHO’s biggest source of funds, damaging its ability to respond to public health crises such as the coronavirus pandemic.

“America is going to leave a huge vacuum in global health financing and leadership. I see no one that is going to fill the breach,” said Lawrence Gostin, professor of global health at Georgetown Law, adding that the plan to withdraw “on day one” would be “catastrophic” for global health.

The battle over US relations with the WHO comes after Trump nominated several allies, such as vaccine sceptic Robert F Kennedy, for top health jobs in the next administration. However, Gostin said he was not sure that Trump would place as high a priority on an immediate withdrawal as some in his team.

The US is the WHO’s largest single donor, providing about 16 per cent of its funding in 2022-23.
In 2020, Trump initiated the process to leave the WHO as Covid-19 spread, accusing the agency of being under China’s control.
