Cuz you know, the GOP plan is to remain calm, pretend to be busy, feign ignorance, & blame the Democrats…
We will not see an angry Republican until they get locked out of their offices. 🤦🏽♀️
"Kennedy...repeatedly refused to acknowledge the vast amount of valid, peer-reviewed research showing vaccines are not associated with autism...he straight up cited invalid science as valid to Dr. Cassidy. If confirmed, Kennedy will keep trashing science." https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-trashing-of-science-by-robert-f-kennedy-jr/
Just left Tillis a voicemail. Took a while to get through. What a chump. These bootlickers are so afraid of Trump they’d piss on an electric fence if he told them to.
That's obvious hypocrisy. People need to slam him with letters, emails, calls and drive it home. (I already did.)
Time for accountability and consequences.
Not far from what Susan Collins said re the "assurances" she got from Brett Kavanaugh re Roe v Wade ("stare decisis," "a precedent of a precedent" bla-bla-bla) before voting to confirm him.

He is against Gardisil and other HPV vaccines which use VLP as a platform for effective prevention of:

It's deeply disturbing that the AMA is cowering in the corner and not speaking up about this nomination or any of the ruinous things trump is doing to the healthcare system domestically and worldwide. I think the term is "malpractice."
Senator Cassidy, an MD, gave a speech on the Senate floor saying that he approved Kennedy with the latter's agreement that Kenney would have his hand held by Cassidy. There is nothing holding Kennedy to that agreement. This is the best available candidate for Secretary of HHS? What have we become?
The Senate has become a clownshow, where the GOP clowns live in fear of being primaried, and where some Democratic senators don't want to believe what is actually happening.
How stupid is he, exactly? I mean, is there some sort mechanism by which to measure stupidity? Like, “on a scale of 1 to Tom Tillis” or is there another standard?

As long as they keep their jobs, they’ll do what Trump wants them to do and pretend to be shocked later.

Stupid asswipe.

How much more proof does he need?

Is he tells Ng the truth or just saying something to give him plausible cover with his electorate for such a dangerous vote?
