There could be a million. It wouldn’t matter. Cruelty and stupidity are the true north of the GOP cult.

sirala6.bsky.social•75 days ago

Tommy Tuberville, Marsha Blackburn, Josh Hawley.

weunice.bsky.social•75 days ago

Many who voted for Trump believe that the educated are "the elite". They also believe that Nobel Prize process has increasingly been "woke" as well. In their mind they want precisely the opposite of those things. The sad truth is, the consequences are going to have to mount -- a lot. It will suck.

They voted to remove all guardrails and safety from the USA , it will be carnage , I hope the American people learn from this but they probably won't. They will with full control blame immigrants for everything and gut the country in the process

While this is great, TFG has no respect for science or expertise. He might dig his heels in, delighting in exercising power over Nobel Prize winners.

dj1au.bsky.social•75 days ago

But this is directed at senators

lafileuse.bsky.social•75 days ago

He has influence over his senators. Many of them believe the same way or would use it to curry favour with him.

lobolaurel.bsky.social•75 days ago

Awwwww Eric, lighten up

It's not like they want us to get polio or smallpox or measles or.......

😱😬🤬

tjb2.bsky.social•75 days ago

Did the same 75 people support mandating experimental injections for everyone except the government crime syndicate?

manhasnoname.bsky.social•75 days ago

And will be completely ignored.

Even if he could, Tommy Tuberville wouldn’t read it.

kerrylynn.com•75 days ago

Perhaps no one else is willing.

carlinwasright.bsky.social•75 days ago

MAGA reaction to Nobel Prize winners:

"Water? Like out the toilet?"

jimjjackson2.bsky.social•73 days ago

Will it make any difference 🤷‍♂️, seriously doubt it.

karenrachel.bsky.social•75 days ago

Seems to be paywalled after all. Only first few paragraphs available.

christinelouise.bsky.social•75 days ago

They know he is a threat to the health of the world not just the US.

danamasse.bsky.social•75 days ago

Destruction is the point people.

chewolf.bsky.social•72 days ago

And it won't matter at all. The same happened with many groups joining forces and warning, but Trump still got elected.

beauty46.bsky.social•75 days ago

Kennedy is a nut he will kill whole americaespecially children

Because we don't need more crazy in the administration 😔

chadizzy1.bsky.social•75 days ago

That’s just going to make him want to do it more

leendawoman.bsky.social•75 days ago

Prolly seen as an endorsement by RFKJr &trump

glendap.bsky.social•75 days ago

I applaud their effort, appreciate their appeal.

catfinger.bsky.social•75 days ago

But his brain worm still has a chance

blueledge.bsky.social•74 days ago

Make diseases great again.

amias.net•74 days ago

This is paywalled. Does anyone have coverage of this in a free journal?

snorpheus.bsky.social•75 days ago

75? That's nothing compared to the number of people who previously worked for Trump recommending the other person is the only sane one. That didn't work out as well. We're just F'd for the next 2-4 years.

hunjun.bsky.social•75 days ago

Here's an idea, let DT/his family, all the Republican Senators, staff, some MAGA's, ALL 25ers and all of their families; supporting RFK Jr. be test subjects of his ideas without being able to reject any concepts. ALL IN OR SHUT THE HELL UP.

libertyjustice.bsky.social•75 days ago

That speaks volumes.

crkolarz.bsky.social•75 days ago

This is huge

whereitsat68.bsky.social•75 days ago

Incredible, yet here we are.

sfannie53.bsky.social•74 days ago

Who cares. They’ll confirm him anyway. That’s the beauty of owning a country.

amer4solutions.bsky.social•75 days ago

All the economic Nobel Prize winners said that Trump’s economic plans would reck the economy in 2025 and beyond. But 77,000,000 voted for him. This won’t matter either.

void.niclaz.com•74 days ago

Well, yeah. There is only so much damage that can be done in four years. But considering their plan is to remove the term limit and change elections, were looking at a possibility of more than 4 years of damage.

seaofcrises.bsky.social•75 days ago

It should matter but I suspect you’re right that it won’t.
Reminds me of Brexit in the U.K. - when experts correctly called out the downsides the Brexiteers proudky declared that they’d “had enough of experts”. And we all know how swimmingly Brexit is going …

vinuarumugham.bsky.social•75 days ago

Exactly. You are all IRRELEVANT.

Dude, I came here to say that. 😏

butteremails2.bsky.social•75 days ago

75+ Nobel Prize winners signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Bobby Kennedy, trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
that's a lot of smart & informed people.

Will the rethuglikkkans pay attention? I think not. #CultMembers vote with dear leader.

schrodingersmite.bsky.social•75 days ago

Who to believe: 75 Nobel Prize winners, or a guy who has a dead brain worm?

Decisions, decisions.

geetops.bsky.social•75 days ago

For MAGA, isn’t this a huge reason to support RFK, Jr even more? Trump and MAGA live in the upside down world.

This will make donOld insist on Kennedy...!!!
He's such a sick baby 👶

dan6925.bsky.social•73 days ago

Trump will destroy this country no matter what . Someone will fill that spot. Another billionaire?

floramcg7.bsky.social•75 days ago

That won’t mean squat to the MAGA GOP

heinhim1943.bsky.social•72 days ago

LOL Who gives a shit!

heinhim1943.bsky.social•75 days ago

Sounds like the 50 National Security members who signed off on the Hunter laptop. LOL pathetic

katep52.bsky.social•75 days ago

Scientific experts are against this nomination? In MAGA world that is a positive. They don't trust medical experts or scientists. They prefer charlatans and that's what they've got.

timothycathlamet.bsky.social•75 days ago

Now let’s get them to write a letter to enforce IQ test, background check, psych eval, citizen test and cognizance test to qualify all politicians and make it retroactive!! Americans deserve this and have been embarrassed enough!

sacredsight.bsky.social•75 days ago

He had a long history of going after large corporate interests. I guess those laureates need money or want to stay relevant.

ccmone.bsky.social•75 days ago

I appreciated the gift article.

zuzu447.bsky.social•74 days ago

Hundreds of national security experts signed a letter, before the election, begging the nation not to elect Trump and put the country into grave danger- but no one listened then either.

trumpwoosers.bsky.social•74 days ago

As a conservative I must agree.

littlefonzie920.bsky.social•75 days ago

Unless they have a bag full of cash, I think it will fall on deaf ears.
