No shit, Sherlock -- I could have told you this years ago.

Gates, his plans, democrats plans are a total 100% cluster****.


No problem though. Biden will ditch Congress again and print over $100 Trillion this time.
 

Oh FFS, what he's talking about has **** all to do with Democrats and Biden. Yeah, AOC's responsible for starvation in Africa.

Find another hobby than recreational outrage.
 
Gates runs the largest philanthropic organization the planet, with the goal, making progress around the world in helping humans live a better life.
They have done all sorts of good around the world.
I can see why you'd hate that.

What does this have to do with Democrats? Are Democrats the only ones trying to make the world a better place? Ouch.

I wish the likes of Bezos, Zuckerburg, and Musk, would join him, and put some of their extraordinary wealth back into our planet for the benefit of all humankind.

Gates said he doesn't like Trump so naturally some people have fire ants in their crotch now.

Yeah, let's compare Trump foundation to Gates foundation.
One was disbanded due to rampant law breaking and self-dealing.
One is helping the world.
 
 
How much money did his foundation spend only to fail at all of it's goals
 
It is certainly true that the "World Leaders" that Gates refers to obviously does not include Biden. It simply could not.

Biden is definitely the farthest thing from a world leader that one can get given his absolute destruction of the United States and our institutions that has occurred over the last 20 months.

The rest of the world won't buy into Biden and the democrat's pedophilia teachings of sex-ed to 5+ year olds. This shit is sick, is illegal and hopefully all involved will serve time.
 
No shit. We got a lying, pedo, idiot who’s owned by China running (down) this country.

Recreational outrage is @jcgriff2's coin of the realm.
You might as well ask a frog to not croak or a rooster not to crow.
The guy NEVER EVER has anything to back up his claims, and he dodges and deflects if you corner him with facts.
 
Bull shit. Nowhere in the article does Gates point a finger at the Dems or Biden.

In fact, the report Gates refers to is a study of the last 7 years.

In case your math skills are as poor as your reading comprehension skills, the last 7 years includes Traitor Trump’s entire four years in office.

“In an extensive opinion piece in The New York Times, businessman Bill Gates analyzes the current situation in the world, and sends a pessimistic message about the current situation of poverty, the environment, malnutrition, and maternal mortality.

Gates and his ex-wife, the co-founder of the Melinda French Gates Foundation, in the annual report that analyzes the state of the world write that after seven years, the world is on track to achieve almost none of the goals.”

Did you somehow get the mistaken impression that Gates intended to fully fund all of his foundations objectives?

Of course not. That would be a ridiculous assertion, right?

I don't have any impression of his foundations nor do I have an opinion about them.
 
I hope people notice something about this thread that is glaringly obvious.

Let's look at the story in the link the OP provided:
To quote from the story:

In an extensive opinion piece in The New York Times, businessman Bill Gates analyzes the current situation in the world, and sends a pessimistic message about the current situation of poverty, the environment, malnutrition, and maternal mortality. ..
Read the rest of the article, NO mention of Biden.

Yet, mysteriously, magically, the OP finds a way to take a dig at Biden when Biden is NOT what this story is about and isn't even mentioned.

Imagine that.
 
EVERYTHING is about Biden, didn't ya know
 
HO HUM. The story you linked has nothing to do with Biden, so why would you include his name as part of your OP?

Years ago?

Wasn't Trump the President less than two years ago? And Republicans had a larger majority in the Senate than the Democrats currently have?

Biden has been President for 1 year and 8 months. Why were things so bad years ago?

All Hail Biden, King of the WORLD!

Did you even bother to read past the headline? It's not a long article.

I'm not Gates' strongest advocate but I will give him credit for actually taking on some of the world's most pressing problems with sobriety and putting his money where his mouth is. And there actually have been some successes, just not as much as he had hoped, which is the point of the article that apparently neither you nor the OP bothered to read.

It's so easy to sit on your ass and laugh at someone else's misery, isn't it? To actually get off one's ass and attempt to do the heavy lifting required to help people in misery requires character - the thing that Republicans used to talk about but stopped talking about because pretty much everyone knows by now that they're the antithesis of character. Save a precious few, like Liz Cheney, like Adam Kinzinger, and occasionally Mitt Romney, they're just a bunch of no-good, lying, hypocritical assholes.

Here is the BEAU BIDEN FOUNDATION FOR THE PROTECTION OF CHILDREN, INC., a foundation for Biden's deceased son that took in just south of $4 million in donations last year; $933,000 expenses; $606,000 in salaries;


2017 IRS Form 990 - https://apps.irs.gov/pub/epostcard/cor/474507397_201712_990_2018062015452753.pdf
2020 IRS Form 990 - https://www.beaubidenfoundation.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/BBF.2020.990.pdf

In 2019, Joe Biden gave the Beau Biden foundation a check, then continuing in 2020, the Beau Biden foundation: ---- 1. closed; 2. no sign of the check from Joe Biden; Hunter is on the board, of course - I guess the $80,000/month++ from Ukraine board of dirs wasn't enough for him.



Hmmm... where is the other one?


No shit. We got a lying, pedo, idiot who’s owned by China running (down) this country.
Absolutely true. On 60 Minutes the other night, Biden was asked 2x "if China invades Taiwan, will the US send troops?"
Biden: "YES"

American boots on the ground in Taiwan fighting the Chinese Army.

Just wonderful. Now that jackass can go print more money - he will need it.

 
Face it the source is questionable .........

As per usual Trump left behind a ****ed economy which has been typical of the Fake Republican Party since Reagan/Bush the administration with a truck load of financial and criminal scandals. Meet the Fake Republican Platform going on 42 years.
