Shithole country.
Let's swim in it!
With this going on? Literally.
Explosive Diarrhea is a fitting metaphor for this regime too.
The parasite still munching away at RFK’s remaining gray matter:
“Ah, yes. Everything is going according to plan…”
That Brain worm is starving to death though
That’s why it’s looking to ensure new hosts.
What a disgrace, considering that just a year and a half ago, the CDC was one of the most important medical organizations in the world.
The blatant incompetence and boundless greed of this regime are not only responsible for diarrhea and the decline of the U.S. as a center of scientific excellence: the decisions made by these criminals are directly causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
It is irreparable damage—the kind no one could have anticipated amid this absurdity. The lesson is clear: the U.S. cannot be trusted, as the unscrupulousness of its leaders knows no bounds.
Honestly at this point the United States of America should balkanize
Oh, I anticipated all of this. What I didn't anticipate was how quickly the fall of
Romethe United States of America would take place.Rome took centuries to "fall" (and another millennium for the other half). From the death of Marcus Aurelius and the stability of his reign in 180 CE to the death of the last Western Emperor Julius Nepos and formal dissolution in 480 CE, it still lasted longer than the US' entire lifespan so far. Hell, the Crisis of the Third Century started ~230CE, still leaving us with 250 years.
We'll see how quickly the US will actually fall. I don't believe it will be quick, but I'm sure there will be interesting lessons for future historians to draw.
Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do know history are doomed to see it being repeated no matter how many warnings they gave.
Those who do know it are doomed to hope for a plot twist.
History doesn't entirely repeat the same exact way. There's always a little variation. Sometimes, the result looks identical, but sometimes something has changed (for better or worse). We can try to talk about it, keep warning people, maybe learn from past attempts at warning to see what we can improve. We can try to find ways to at least shift the cycle, even if we might not be able to break it.
Because one lesson that we can learn from many successes and far more failures is that persistence, the will to keep going despite setbacks, is critical to any effort at change, be it military, civil or even just attempting to eat healthy. It's not the only important bit, but nothing will change if we don't try.
Yes, it was foreseeable that the MAGA fascists would ruthlessly enrich themselves, and also that there was an immediate danger they would do everything in their power to establish a full-fledged autocracy in place of the usual oligarchy with a veneer of democracy -which is exactly what they are doing.
Nevertheless, I think the degree of ruthlessness with which these criminals are operating caught the world completely off guard: Many countries, for example, followed the guidelines issued by the CDC right up until the very end - regarding countless medical procedures, such as preventing infections with nosocomial pathogens during catheter insertion, etc.
No one could have foreseen that this globally important organization would be completely and senselessly dismantled -which is exactly what this deranged conspiracy theorist, who was appointed secretary of health without any expertise whatsoever, did: The CDC effectively no longer exists; at any rate, it is now merely a shadow of its former self, as countless scientists were simply fired for trying to oppose the outrageous nonsense that Kennedy is propagating - this no longer has the slightest connection to science, which is why no reputable scientist can support this course of action.
It is simply utter madness! Now the world must reorganize itself, which will take years, if not decades.
And this is just one of countless crimes this terrorist regime is committing against humanity. It is plunging the world into chaos so that the billionaires behind this regime can enrich themselves even more than they already do - by brute force, by nothing but the law of the jungle.
All of this results in a regression of civilization and robs humanity of achievements that took a very long time to build - from international law to climate protection agreements, humanitarian efforts, and international cooperation in the scientific sector.
I don’t think anyone could have expected this to happen, because it is nothing short of insanity.
It was just a matter of time before we treated the CDC like the SEC or the EPA.
They will still claim 'but communism' while ignoring that this is capitalism at its rawest, most unadulterated form.
No, we've known where RFK Jr has been the whole time
Government waste?
That waste belongs to the people!
Great pic of the worm captain there
no monitoring means no news... brilliant
MASA - Make America Shit Again
If nothing else, their incompetence will give us all the proof we need about why these agencies need to be run by experts and why they need to exist and be funded. I never thought I'd see the day we had to learn the hard way why greed and selfishness can't be left to run amok. Sounds exactly the way right teaches their kids, the hard way.
What experts? The NIH was defunded. 10,000 post docs have left the country. People are retiring or exiting science. No other countries are taking up the slack.
China is
Not sure what your point is, that we have no experts anymore? The institutions should still be run by experts.
The point is while people have been sleeping, Trump has killed science from the very front end of the pipeline of what produces experts. Experts are retiring in droves, and those mid-career are exiting science because they have no future. USA has NO CLUE how bad this is. A lot of science going on in the background keeping you safe is GONE.
We already knew all of that. The problem is that under capitalism, the rich make the rules. Until we supplant the capitalist class with a working class government, we will continue to see policies that put money ahead of people.
Only the leadership needs to learn. But yeah we're probably fucked.
If you don't test it, it doesn't exist!
RFK Jr looking out for his parasite homies
A government for the parasites, by the parasites.
Just as expected, if you elect parasites to office you get parasite friendly policies.
FTFY
If this system is what I think it is, it's the wastewater monitoring, which was a tool that helped with monitoring Covid. Remember, if we don't test, the rates drop.
You do know you can read the article to find that out instead of assuming, right?
This is a completely different monitoring system called Foodnet
I didn't read that article but I read your comment and I'm ready to believe whatever you say.
I'll take your word on it, thanks!
Same 👍
Yeah this sounds right 👍
America is what happens to every corporation when the middle management have finally all been promoted over the threshold of their actual abilities.

Didn’t RFK have a brain parasite at one point? His parasite advocacy makes a lot more sense if you consider that he really might just be a brain worm piloting a vaguely human shaped mecha.
implying the brain worms ever left
I still cannot help but wonder if the cancellation of BrainDead (2016) was not a conspiracy....
The trouble is, the source of the brain worm story was ... him. So if you believe it, you're taking a brain-worm-victim's word on his condition.
The brain worm story came up during a divorce trial. He argued that the worm lowered his income potential and he should pay less alimony.
Also he didn't have an actual worm munching at his brain. What he had was a tapeworm cyst. When a tapeworm egg is ingested they hatch as larvae that will pass through the intestinal wall and migrate, usually to the muscles, where they form these cysts. If something eats the meat with the cyst then the worm will pop out and turn into an adult. Now the worms don't really control where they will end up so sometimes they can end up in the brain or the liver or other organs. The cyst can remain for a few years but eventually it will die.
The tapeworm egg could have ended up in his gut in a few ways. He could have had an adult tapeworm and picked up some of the eggs it lays by not washing his hands properly. He could have eaten vegetables that were fertilized with human feces and which were not washed properly. He could have ate someone's butthole and that person had a tapeworm.
Can it really cross the blood-brain barrier?
Bunch of things can cross it. The worms are large enough that they can force their way through by mechanical means.
it eats right across the BBB.
The guy collects roadkill carcasses, I think we know where the worm came from.
I sincerely doubt he bothers to wash his hands if he was being serious about snorting coke from random toilet seats.
That's not even the most disgusting thing that he's said either. I think it's safe to assume personal hygiene isn't at the top of his priorities.
He ain't metal/mechanical so I believe the correct term is flesha, not mecha
That’s freedom for you!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What is freedom if not freedom to blow your ass out?
It's more "efficient" to give more money to oligarchs. While everyone else gets sick.
Much better than the alternative... imploding diarrhea
Give it time.
I feel like everything in the news lately would have been really funny if it weren’t reality. Conservatives killed and ate satire.
Zaphod wasn’t supposed to have actual power, this is what happens when you give the con men the keys to the kingdom
Imagine shitting your pants to own the libs.
Maybe only the libs are shitting their pants because Right wingers are taking horse dewormers and anti parasite drugs like vitamins to stave off COVID.
A REAL man isn't afraid to shit his pants. Some of the bestest Presidents often do it. It's a sign of STRENGTH, but what'd a pussy like you know about that, eh? 😤
🍆 🫡😘
Is this not the onion material? Or just normal in the states now?
Anyone even remotely sane in the US wishes it was the Onion. Alas, this is their new reality now.
I've pooped 6 times before noon but I'm a telecommuter, so I simply ran meetings from the bathroom.
Barely an inconvenience. If anything, I'm glad for the parasite because it separates the weak from the strong.
/s
The onion, newspaper of prophecy.
The brainworm is in the driver’s seat
Poor brain worms starving to death
It takes an army of bigots to destroy the village
I've thought about this since the beginning, they're trying to cull us without having to do it with their own hands. They know exactly what they're doing when they stop monitoring things like dangerous, deadly parasites.
Yes, fascist eugenics is the only thing that makes sense of current US Government policies.
Gross incompetence makes even more sense.
Some, like Kennedy, are pretty clear about eugenist views
He's. Working. For. Russia. And. China.
And of course everything has gone to shit!
Fun fact: Your asshole makes the same exact movement as your mouth does for both 'poop' and 'explosive diarrhea'.
oooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONOOOOOOOooooooooo?
OH YEAH
Kool-aid man what the fuck fix that wall before my parents get home
But your eyes don't
The rocket diarrhea took Lindsey Graham from us so it's not all bad.
It's nature at work through Baby Jesus' magic
I'm of the Howard Zinn opinion that we should always document events from the voice of the people who were most oppressed by the event.
I want to hear from the housekeepers cleaning these toilets from all this explosive diarrhea.
They're the real victims here.
RFK Jr is obviously in the pocket of Big Parasite after what happened.
He did have a brain worm. Was it on accident? I don't know.
It’s more the other way around.
Was it specifically that they stopped this community health survey or the people who used to run it have either been fired or quit?
USA citizens are completely clueless to how fucked things are with all the systems that have kept them safe. Normally I would argue against inflammatory titles but more needs to be framed as "(DOGE or Trump) stopped monitoring..." versus hiding it behind the various TLA's
Their ideology is just poop spray.
Keeping tabs on what the CDC hasn’t been testing for may now be the most efficient way to determine what diseases are circulating.
That's not how any of this works....
We studied the shit that was likely to have an outbreak
Republicans cancelled all the studies for anything that wasn't an active outbreak.
With no one keeping an eye on anything, outbreaks are happening, and we don't have early warning signs before an outbreak.
Like, the CDC doesn't waste a lot of time studying things that are extinct, and everything not extinct is "circulating", just hasn't had an outbreak on.
It's like you believe the Republicans bullshit that these studies aren't needed
I don’t want to speak for the person you replied to but I just want to point out that this was probably a joke, with the implication being that the CDC is currently ineffective due to current administration policies, and aligning with your viewpoint.
This is unrelated to the topic, but I must ask.
Why do you separate your sentences with line breaks?
It's incredibly awkward and unnecessary.
Thanks.
RFK Jr doesn't realize daily explosive diarrhea isn't normal.
Doesn't he have some weird diet of meat and without vegetables? Or was that another weirdo? It's getting hard to keep track.
No, this is the guy who drinks raw milk in a hot tub with Kid Rock after working out in a sauna with his jeans on. Don't make him sound weird.
How many people are going to die from this version of the Green Apple Splatter? WTF, everyone suffering from the runs, should mail a bag full to the coke snorting fuck up's office.
With this administration, the line between explosive logorrhea and explosive diarrhea is blurred.
I wonder if Corey Doctorow's thesis about the enshittification of platforms extends to America.
BRB, I gotta do a Plague Inc. run.
They certainly flooded the zone, huh.
They stopped monitoring Trump?
Ooooh, ok, so I have Worm Brain to thank for this awful fucking experience I'm going through. Thanks Obama!!1
They got tired of seeing that shit. Literally.
I'm sorry. Is there some kind of organization or mechanism that monitors specifically explosive diarrhea?
The CDC used to track a whole bunch of diseases so that we could intervene and limit their spread. They did this for some, typically food-borne causes of diarrhea
Several.
All kill people. Every day.
Whole initiatives at charity organizations and international Health organizations actively monitor child and adult impact from diarrheal diseases.
The US CDC used to be a latchkey to those efforts.
There are entire charitable organizations devoted to individual diarrhea diseases
I know. I work for one.
I figured you knew, given all the good information you have. I just wanted to add to the conversation and feel important :3
Working for one of those NGOs is really interesting tho. You should post about it on the dull men's group sometime so we can argue about it being not dull enough, also learn cool stuff about the fatal butt diseases
The dull what?
There's a dull men's club community on here. It's for everyone who is dull enough, not just men. We like to talk about things and stuff.
Okay, fine. Yes, those are diseases that are monitored. But explosive diarrhea is a symptom, not a disease. Sometimes people just get the runs for any number of reasons.
That's why saying there was an increase in "explosive diarrhea" sounds odd. Public health agencies generally monitor diseases that cause diarrhea, not the symptom itself in isolation.
It's like saying there was an increase in fevers during the height of COVID, or a spike in people feeling pain after breaking a bone. Those are symptoms of underlying conditions, not the thing that's actually being tracked.
Maybe I'm missing some context, but the wording still strikes me as strange.
The symptoms are how you understand and characterize a disease.
Presentation of the runs from your gut is noteworthy and measured. You measure it for understanding incubation, water loss, recurrence, latency between events, and a slew of other data points.
It is in fact how you characterize disease at large, the symptoms.
100% agree.
Not what I mean. But yes. You are absolutely correct.
I gotta start naming my poops like that. Today was a Jimmy
I took a Donald this morning!

The Cloacal Control Council, yes
Yes
Really getting tired of "winning"
Well, yeah, the parasites are charge, now. Just look at the expression on RFK’s human leather mask. It’s like that alien from Men in Black.
I thought he looks like Sutherland in the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Sutherland never looked as dead as RFKjr, but Donald must have done some research to get the facial expression right.
It was like he was wearing an RFK Jr. suit.
Now give me sugar ... in water
Perfect picture for this article
That makes total sense, why would the CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL track a parasite or whatever.
i felt a great disturbance in the toilets...
as of hundreds of thousands of plumbers cry out in horror..
It's a pretty plumbing-friendly disease.
lol
Well the government really can’t do a good job at anything anyway so this is just an opportunity for a business to charge a monthly monitoring subscription to local governments, maybe called Disease Alert. So some states will have the data and some won’t, and it won’t matter because you really need global systemic responses to disease defense but capitalism is much more better than big dumb government.
This argument is intentionally as incoherent as whatever the fuck the cdc is currently up to.
The only thing worse than explosive diarrhea is surprise explosive diarrhea.
Funny - I'm having explosive diarrhea right now
Thank god you can’t upload a smell and phones can’t download and play back smells.
Not with that attitude
Argh, now we've all caught it from you.
Only the best on the job. It’s the service we deserve. /s
Good I don’t like being aware of the dangers the world has
Going to the states is safe enough just don’t drink the water
Actually this outbreak is because of uncooked fruits/berries/vegetables. Basically the farm workers don’t have bathrooms or handwashing stations, so they go on the side of the field and return to work without washing their hands. Then poop bacteria gets on the produce they pick and it makes people sick.
In the United States the average farmer is a millionaire with a 6 figure income and they could easily afford to have port a potties and handwashing stations. But they’re too cheap or lazy so 1000+ people have gotten sick.
