Our military is going to have to remove these people. That's the only way. They are getting confirmed. Republicans have been threatened and they are Russian assets.
Yep and with the bird flu 1 or 2 mutations away from becoming the next pandemic couldn’t think of a worse possible pick for secretary of HHS. Way to go donny.
I think it may take a decade to a generation for the effects to become visible (i.e. widespread child disability/death due to illness) but then vax rates will jump back once people realize the horror. Notice how most-vaxxers come from developed and well-vaccinated places? They've lost sight of how
brutal pre-vax life was for little kids. There's a reason we developed all these vaccines in the first place! Sadly the children will pay for the parents' folly.

IMO, Sen. Thune can't risk sending four MAGA losers down from confirmation hearings. So, I think they will sacrifice Kennedy vote the others through. Kennedy doesn't offer Trump anything in terms of value and he would much rather have loyalists in Defense, FBI and DNI confirmed.
Trump may just send the word to the GOP Senators to sacrifice him. The position isn't all that important to help him to become emperor. The hearing should be entertaining. MT Sen. Tim Sheehy asked Hegseth how many push-ups he could do. Maybe he'll ask RJK Jr. how many he can do (albeit lousy ones).
It might be apt during one of these interviews for the senator to listen to RFK Jr.'s spiel & then tell him straight out that "you're clearly so full of shit & constitute such a threat to American public health that I won't vote to confirm you." Should set him up just right for his next interview.
What idiot would expect otherwise? You think he's going to become some eloquent philanthropist behind closed doors? The dems keep losing in part because they are the biggest suckers on the planet.
And yet the GOP will confirm him anyways because they are more afraid of an unhinged uncontrollable trump than the American people they were elected to serve. Sad state of affairs indeed.
it'd be one thing if all that lunacy was just an act for the benefit of conservative freaks and morons, but it's all real. He and his ilk really are that stupid and dangerous.
He will introduce brainworming sessions in the planning...
Or hopefully he is the sacrifice chosen by Trump to let GOP demonstratively reject one candidate.
Republicans already died at greater rates of COVID post-vaccine availability than democrats because a lower proportion got the vaccines.
I keep wondering what would happen in a full-blown high-mortality H5N1 epidemic. Would they wise up re: masks and vaccines or hold the line and perish?
Even after all this time you are pretending the vaccine hasn't been causing organ damage and cancer, or that the disease was actually killing people? Serious?
You can engage at my profile post if you wish, but I have to fall back to an old quote:
Have you no sense of decency, madam, at long last?
Yeah, let's listen to the conspiracy theorists anti vaccination diatribes, while he goes off on a heroin fit brought on by his brain worm, have I got everything ?
Anyone gonna ask Kennedy how he's gonna make Americans healthy when he has such poor judgment with his own health? Man walks in airplane bathrooms bare footed. He's already had brain worms from poor eating habits. Damaged brain cells from decades of heroine abuse. HOW does he get to make decisions?
RFKjr's family warned us against letting him have anything with the government. The man is a mental case.
Resistance isn't futile.
Revolution is necessary.

This candidate scares me! I have multiple life altering chronic pain conditions and 3 brain tumors. I don’t want worm brain in charge of health and safety 😣
I've resigned myself to all of them getting confirmed. I've decided if we are going to Hell in a handbasket we might as well step on the gas. If the next 2 years is enough of a shit show maybe the Bernie Bros, Gaza hold outs and lazy Dems will get the fuck off their asses and vote
he scares me FAR more than any of the other cabinet picks. yes, they're all terrible and dangerous but none of the rest of them are likely to cause grievous harm to ALL of us.
that's certainly true. i just feel like there are more safeguards built into the military and more people would see and protest its misuse. on the other hand, as Covid showed very starkly, people are vastly undereducated and ignorant of basic science and will follow whatever BS dear leader cooks up.
We are being led by illegitimate people full of hate. none are qualified to do their jobs. Including the President. He is gutting the Pentagon, military, DOJ of anybody who will fight his destruction. I hope you’re right but fear there will be nobody left to defy him
I think the obvious reason Elon chose the idiots he did for his cabinet positions isn’t all about how they already suckle he and the orange piss stains nuts in their mouths.
It has more to do with them all being too fucking dumb / power hungry to realize how stupid Pres Musk and Trump are 🤔😂🤮🥲
What I don’t get is how, given how beholden to pharma the Republicans are, they can vote for this guy? Maybe the plan is to put relatively competent people in below him?
Honestly, as awful as he is - he's the least of my worries compared to most all the others. I wonder if any of his siblings even speak to him these days?
RFK Jr. is a lunatic with brainworms, and anyone with a working brain can understand that.
This is a surprise. How?
This dude isn't cut to do anything.
The man doesn't even have the qualifications.
Do you think? RFK JR is a total lunatic. How else could you feel after having a conversation with him. Just confused and realizing he is out of his F-ing mind.
Out of all the Trump nominees, RFK Jr. may pose the most significant risk to this country.
While Kash Patel, as FBI Director, would be dangerous to the free press, RFK Jr., as HHS Secretary, would be dangerous to the lives of everyone in the U.S.
Yes. I work in public health. From the federal to local level we all agree he cannot be confirmed. He maybe the one nominee that even my Republican co workers don’t want!
He's confirmed. The days of being able to resist via our political institutions have ended. We can protest. We can boycott. But all three branches are now effectively run by one person.
It's those behind the curtain who were determined to RE-INSTALL Donald Trump to ensure THEIR OWN ultra right-wing authoritarian agendas will be imposed on our nation and its people..that I'm most concerned about. They control ALL LEVELS OF THE US GOVERNMENT NOW and the judiciary.
Yes. I'm in my eighties and have seen a lot of American history, but before this era never imagined the US would be in this place. No checks and balances?
I've wanted to leave for awhile now. If I had the financial means to do so I would. This is my country and has been all my 7+ decades...but something so vile and systemically corrupt and abhorrent has cemented itself into our nation..into its people..I just would like a little bit of time to rest.
Carry on. Just don't get arrested or worse when they crack down on political dissent. I know there's a fair amount of denial, but the US can absolutely become a fascist country--not an exaggeration. This is a lot worse than most of us seem to grasp.

I’ve already considered all of that. See, I worked for, supported, and voted Harris…but I prepared for the 🍊🤡💩show. I decided how far I was willing to go and what I was willing to do. I can sit back like a shivering coward, or stay true to myself. Daddy didn’t raise no coward.
What’s the worst that could happen… everyone’s teeth fall out, we get every kind of communicable disease & all of the kids in school get hooked on heroin?
Thank you so much for the many decades of research, intelligent decisions, public health advice & for saving millions of lives, Tony Fauci.
I’m not suggesting that he or his followers would go peacefully upon defeat.
The margin of victory was ~2M votes. Perhaps thinking was the problem, as enough people believed that Kamala + Tim had it in the bag & didn’t even bother to show up at the polls.
When the world Health Organisation. Introduce a travel ban into and out of the United States. For plagues of one time Preventable Diseases mostly affecting Children.
Then perhaps Americans will wake up.
Childhood Diseases are on the increase.

Maybe we Americans deserve all of this after our long history of destroying countries for a couple centuries now. Is a nation that paid for a genocide the last 15 months worth saving? I don’t know if I think it is. We deserve to suffer.
If we were smart we would point out what a democrat he is. That he is an environmental lawyer. No republican can support his other stuff like healthy lunches.

Let’s hope at least a couple of GOP senators have the same reaction - RFK Jr cannot be trusted with our healthcare!!
Offit is bragging, like "ha, ha 83. Amateur"
I can’t imagine listening to that fool drone on at one of his parties.
RFK is right about the science - he understands it - & wants to clean all that up. Being in the Trump administration doesn't alter that.
Or hopefully he is the sacrifice chosen by Trump to let GOP demonstratively reject one candidate.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers warns senators about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s intellect as his confirmation process looms in Washington.
Seems like a problem that eventually solves itself.
Universities in the West Coast states and other countries will still come up with vaccines.

RFK Jr. doesn't need an easy confirmation. He needs an exorcism out of the political space with a tin hat for a consolation prize.
Whether their candidates get elected or not, half the voters seem to heavily favour dishonesty and criminality when choosing who they'll support.
Countering that is the key to anything actually improving.
It has more to do with them all being too fucking dumb / power hungry to realize how stupid Pres Musk and Trump are 🤔😂🤮🥲
Noted.
Extremely dire.

I also know nobody in public health supporting RFK Jr.'s nomination.
Unlike certain U.S. Supreme Court justices, I believe transparency and disclosure of potential conflicts of interest to be necessary.
Hold on....
-Hegseth: Mother
-Kennedy: Entire family
He's confirmed. The days of being able to resist via our political institutions have ended. We can protest. We can boycott. But all three branches are now effectively run by one person.
But practically, I'm worried about the rest of what comes with an authoritarian dictatorship and what happens to the people who live in it.
If I were Biden or Harris, I'd flee the country while I still could. Hell, if I was /me/ with the means, I'd also flee the country.

good luck guys cus it really doesn't seem like anyone wants to think in your country.
The margin of victory was ~2M votes. Perhaps thinking was the problem, as enough people believed that Kamala + Tim had it in the bag & didn’t even bother to show up at the polls.
You can’t win if you don’t play.
Hopefully those clowns will make it easy to convince the majority of the voting public to support the good guys this go round.
Then perhaps Americans will wake up.
Childhood Diseases are on the increase.

ITS A BIG FAT NO TO RFK JR
I can't believe the 2024 election for her was so close.
