    It would seem that Bill Gates has become the new bogeyman for the right, supplanting Soros as some sort of evil mastermind. I really do not understand how this has come to pass. The right treats Trump's donation of his salary as just an incredible act of kindness, while spitting on Gates who has donated 36 billion of his money to charitable organizations. More importantly the right is suspicious of Bill Gates funding parts of the CDC. Isn't this EXACTLY the way you guys want it? less taxes. Charitable donations. "if you love the goverment so much why don't YOU fund it?" that is exactly what he is doing, and now you complain about it? I really don't get it. By the way, if this is Bill Gates' masterplan to seize power he really really really is doing it all wrong.

    Like everything else from the right, it is insanity.

    Trump cut funding as a putative action...during a global pandemic! :rolleyes: Gates is undermining trump's authority and stupidity.

    Ultra-wealthy men have money to buy influence? Get out of there, Laura, who would have ever known. Maybe Fox should start working on getting large donor money out of politics. Oh, wait, they like large donors -- when they are on the Fox news side of the aisle.

    On Fox News, a hysterical pundit can make millions of listeners believe that one of the greatest philanthropist in the history is a devil worshiper.

    Without a conspiracy to spin, Ingraham is nothing.

    If you listen to some of Bills suggestions you should be a little concerned. I agree with some and not others. Remember. He’s just trying to get into heaven now after a lot of **** he pulled in his younger days;)

    The funding has been diverted to other heath causes, the stupidity is from the WHO China shills. Let China pay their bill.

    Everyone except trump said it is insane to cripple the WHO during the worst pandemic in a century. They provide critical information nobody else can. We can take corrective actions later. Right now they are badly needed.

    As usual trump is an idiot.

    I always have to laugh as I see liberals triggered by using their own tactics against them... It's as if, magic happens, and all their integrity vanishes...

    LOL... Aren't you the one who used the word putative incorrectly in a previous post on this page? Would it even matter?

    You may not know anything about negotiating, but he's leveraging this to remove the idiot WHO leader and get Taiwan to the table.

    Bill Gates has always been an extreme left wing radical disguised as a “ nice caring man “

    Again, does it actually matter? You don't seem to understand the context in the first place.

    If our funding is critical to WHO functioning, we are paying far too much. But to sit there and ignore their actions protecting China, you are being a useful propaganda tool.

    Just another leftopian billionaire hiding authoritarianism and medical tyranny behind trendy glasses and donations that would be like me tossing nickels to the homeless.

    Throwing nickels to the homeless would be certainly enrage our Right Wing and Trump leaders and voters!

    Throwing nickels to the homeless is how the Right hates that largess simply encourages the homeless.

    The proper things to throw at the homeless are bricks in order to motivate them.

    Definitely not. Neither left wing or all caring, but definitely needed in this pandemic and his philanthropy as well. At Microsoft in his younger days, yes he was ruthless.

    Background checks.

    No death panels.

    Some vaccines MUST be mandatory except for rare, and documented health conditions precluding them.

    What did China do wrong, and what is it that you want America to do about it?

    We've had mandatory background checks in WA for 5 years (with no demonstrable effect on anything, and a maintenance cost of $10M/year, ftr). Gates keeps donating to GC groups (much less than $10M/year, ftr), so I think its clear he supports more than just BGCs.

    Im sure you've seen the widely available video of Gates arguing that treating old people means we can't pay teachers as much, and to quote him directly "but thats called death panels and we're not supposed to have that discussion"... or do you need a link?

    Whatever happened to my body, my choice?
