The RFKjr nomination and confirmation are proof that
1. Donald J TrumpMusk hates the United States for the unpardonable sin of failing to grant him two consecutive terms in the White House..and he is going to make us pay dearly for it
2. The Republican controlled Congress is more frightened of a primary financed by Elon Musk than they are of making their constituents lives a living hell. They have entirely forgotten whom they were elected to serve. May they suffer for that in 2026 and 2028. And may the most outspokenly complicit be labeled political pariahs and made to account for their cooperation when the TrumpMusk experiment ends, as it will.
Honestly, I think the Congress is serving the group of oligarchs, like Harlan Crowe, who have been engineering this coup for the past 40+ years. Trump and Elon are just the face of this conspiracy.
Shouldn’t have run such an awful ticket last fall. No one to place blame on but the Democratic Party, lying about JB, going with unelectable KH. Your party really is the one at fault.
That’s nonsense. The fault lies with the America voters who were given ample opportunity to see the depravity of the candidate offered by the GOP. It lies with corporate media, beginning of course with Fox News, for spending the better part of the past 30 years cultivating imaginary grievances, contorting reality and many times quite blatantly lying to their captivated audience, and it lies with the oligarchy who has purchased legislatures and judges, including a majority of the Supreme Court. It lies with that same court for delaying and contorting the Constitution in such a perverse manner as to enable a convicted felon, adjudicated sex offender and insurrectionist to avoid (yet again) responsibility for his actions. And it lies with the GOP from the grass roots to the halls of Congress, for willingly perpetrating lies and totally disregarding their oaths of office and integrity as human beings by not just once, but twice empowering a criminal to remain in office. They laughed at him after he left the room, but they have facilitated his stupidity, venality and madness whenever it matter. That is the real fault.
The problem was not with the Democratic Party, but rather the morally shallow voters who cast their vote for a man with 34 felony convictions and who was found civilly liable for sexual abuse.
OMG. I agree with Dutch. Do I need to go to confession
Despite Dutch’s and his protestations about mandate, destroying the deep state, etc the loss was about one thing, the left behinds
Their financial situation needs to dramatically improve. The Democrats ignore it. Trump got it but I would bet a quarter (we may not have pennies and nickels left) in two years those people’s situation may not have improved and quite possibly could be worse
Cutting Medicaid and decreasing the wealthy’s taxes is not going to help them
Don’t forget avian flu, which is well on its way to becoming the next global pandemic. But will we be able to get a vaccine developed for it? Doubtful.
And which drinking raw milk as Jr promotes, may well be a vector for spreading it from cows to humans.
...but this admin shut down all reporting by NIH to track such spread of avian flu.
There is a new variant they found and wrote a study on it in order to inform the medical profession amd farmers, the study was completed and ready to publish but now this admin says no to publishing...
Agreed - and, if/when gravely stupid individuals are picked for a four years term, to serve in senior government positions - the chances certainly won't become any better. RFK_jr is now the Union's Senior health officer: tragic. You can't believe it? Join the club...
What have ordinary Americans done to deserve this?
“We racked up the highest death count in the world. We only have 4.2 percent of the globe’s population, but we had 16 percent of the Covid deaths in this country, and that is … that was from bad policy."
Or maybe, just maybe, it was actually because in other countries, there wasn't a whole grievance industry that sprang up against masks because, you know, "freedom"? Or because of anti-vaccination activists like him?
The thing to remember is that Donald Trump doesn’t give one damned rats ass about anyone but himself. As a lifelong con artist, Conspiracies and lies are trumps stock in trade, so aside from total fealty, all of his appointees are willing to pursue any conspiracy that advance his grip on power.
Same peas in a pod!! Birds of a feather flock together. You can't play with shit and not get some on you are just a few things that come to mind with these POS!!
I am very scared about the future of this nation, with this moron in charge of HHS. If he is really willing and able to stop vaccines because he says they cause autism, that will bring back polio and measles and other deadly childhood diseases to this country. Trump is in favor of it, because he is an idiot, so we'll see if it really happens.
The FDA, CDC, and NIH could be toast. “I see somebody on a hiking trail carrying a little baby, and I say to him, ‘Better not get them vaccinated,’” he said in 2021. I wouldn't trust this guy to take my temperature.
This all could have been stopped by one Senator, who is a doctor, whose name I won't even mention because he is a disgrace with no balls. But HE may be the one who has destroyed the future of this country, if not the world. I guess we will find out in short order.
The Senator who questioned about whether he would vote for RFK, Jr decided his political career was more important than the HHS and the American people is!!
In RFK, Jr's confirmation hearings, no one asked him about putting LIVE mice and baby chick's in a blender to feed his hawk!! I had to look it up because I couldn't believe he do something so inhumane!!
His own niece, Carolyn Kennedy was against her own uncle getting confirmed! That says a lot!
Elaine - it's on it's way already, we'll just never know it! Bird flu has me concerned right now - and more than just because it is getting harder and harder to find eggs at the store. Picked the wrong time to defund NIH, drop out of WHO, etc.
"I've known Bobby my whole life. We grew up together. It's no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets, because Bobby himself is a predator," said. Caroline Kennedy.
I never heard what she said, but I know she was at his confirmation hearings and spoke against her uncle. That says a lot!

Too little too late. Mitch could have really been the hero years ago if he would have only chosen to convict in the impeachment trial. He would have been able to pull others along with him. Now he can't even pull Collins and Murkowski with him when the nominee is as crazy as Chris points out.
Lot of good points in the comments. I would add that only Trump could get this guy through. If this was the other way around (Dem president with Dem 53-47 Senate), I don't think RFK Jr is approved.

I agree 100%

I'm fairly confident a CT scan would show the worm faked his own death and continues to gorge on the remaining small amount of functional matter....
RFK sounds mentally ill to me. The convicted felon sure knows how to pick ‘em!😵💫
As a cancer patient I’m very scared there won’t be any more research or support
Wishing you the best in your fight against cancer and hoping for a full recovery.
People are going to die because of him. And their blood will be on the hands of the cowardly MAGAts who confirmed him.
maggots will die too

Wow!! Why should I be surprised?!! tRump, Elonia and their whole cabinet is such a shit show!! The MAGAts really f-cked up all!!

Caroline and BrainWormBoy are first cousins, not niece and uncle. The real RFK was her dad JFK's brother.
God help us if another pandemic hits.

Larry David introducing Cheryl Hines to RFK is the most Curb Your Enthusiasm thing ever
What is the medical field going to do now with NIH funding stopped and now RFK Jr heading HHS...this will be historically devastating.
And BTW, I never thought I would say this, but today I love and am proud of Mitch McConnell.
Too little too late. Mitch could have really been the hero years ago if he would have only chosen to convict in the impeachment trial. He would have been able to pull others along with him. Now he can't even pull Collins and Murkowski with him when the nominee is as crazy as Chris points out.
Another whacko (that’s a technical term) joins the most corrupt administration in the history of our country.
Lot of good points in the comments. I would add that only Trump could get this guy through. If this was the other way around (Dem president with Dem 53-47 Senate), I don't think RFK Jr is approved.
Agreed!
