If those same Senators will tell RFK to go fuck himself, I might not be desperately scrambling for a job with an international bank to get a work visa.  
 

Then again, it would be some fucked up shit if the blue states keep the health requirements in place.

And apparently RFK is getting the Health and Human Services secretary job.

Please don’t let the Senate confirm this.  Please.  He’s the absolute worst mix of ignorant and evil.

I really think that he’s dead in the water. Trump may not get his wish for recess appointments if he keeps pushing names like this. Republicans still want power after he is gone and allowing the people he’s named go through is tantamount to potential political suicide for every Republican that didn’t win in a lopsided MAGA state. 
 

I really thought he’d deep six RFK after the election because I thought he’d actually be too crazy even for Trump but I guess Trump is nuttier than even his 2020 version.

Many of the sitting GOP know that Trump voters don’t turn out in midterms. If they allow the shit to pile out of the outhouse hole, they’re gone. If they piss off Trump now, they know he’ll have to get over it to  prevent getting castrated in 2026.

I think one thing to mull is that Trump is going to be a lame duck president. He doesn’t have to worry about being re-elected but many Republicans do. They got to look at winning again in 2026 and 2028. Since Trump accomplished what he wanted, he’s probably not going to give a shit what happens to the party now. He just wants to stay out of prison and make money.


In his heart, he would rather be at parties with Lady Gaga and other people he sees as the “real elites.” It probably kills him that he’s surrounded by people he secretly hates. The dude was at his happiest when he was invited to party with stars and the liberal old money families. Being cast out really eats him.

So, let me get this straight.

The guy who has been using his position as an active congressman to avoid getting dragged away to jail for the things he's already known to have done is now a civilian, effective immediately?

Fire up the hibachi, it's roasting time - caveman flavored.

You don’t think he’s expecting a pardon? He is one of the Mark-Lagos crowd that is part of Trump’s personal Greek choir after all.

If he gets hits now though, he'll still have almost two months of clenching his cheeks in a jail somewhere before that can happen.

IF it happens. 

Drumpf has the mental capacity of a goldfish if it isn't about him personally and/or he can make rage noises over it. He didn't pardon Epstein after all and that guy supplied the party.

Colorado's Democratic governor cheers RFK Jr. pick for HHS

https://www.axios.com/local/denver/2024/11/14/jared-polis-democrat-governor-rfk-jr-hhs

"What he's saying: Kennedy "will help make America healthy again by shaking up HHS and FDA," Polis said in a Thursday statement on X. "What I'm most optimistic about is taking on Big Pharma and the corporate ag oligopoly to improve our health."

The intrigue: Polis appeared aware that his statement would be controversial. He asked people to dive deeper into the issues "before you mock him or disagree."

  • In a subsequent social media post, Polis backtracked, saying he "will hold any HHS secretary to the same high standard of protecting and improving public health.""

 

For all the pearl clutching at RFK, this actually is a pick that easily could have bi-partisan support. RFK is very skeptical of Big Pharma and their ability to hide from lawsuits, thinks the Gov should be able to negotiate prices, and thinks Americans should be able to import drugs from Canada. All points that a lot of Liberals make.

He also is a huge champion against processed food, and thinks Obesity is our biggest health crisis.

He gets a lot of shit, but hes also pretty spot on with a lot of whats causing health problems in this country. Ultra processed foods, artificial sweeteners and colors, all sorts of chemicals in our food. These are generally bad for you. Im very excited to see what he can do to help fight back on these problems.

Just fuckin no. His push to remove heavily processed foods aside, he’s a terrible pick. Anti vaccine. Anti science. You and your governor sound really fuckin dumb.

remember when michelle obama wanted to make food healthier and mike bloomberg wanted to reduce the consumption of soda

Omg what a shit show that was. The right went bananas 

anyone objectively saying RFKJ is a good pick is an idiot. I’m sorry but it’s true. He’s right about one thing. The rest is a mess of bullshit and anti science. More people need to know about his adventures in Harlem when he used to cop heroin.  Asshole is claiming a lot more time away from drugs than he actually has. I know this because in the mid and late 90s I was in rehabs and detoxes with people who used to see him up there all the time.

His vaccine skepticism caused a measles outbreak in Samoa resulting in 83 dead.  Mostly children.

Fuck him and fuck the brain worm for not finishing him off.

My shitty opinion: re-electing Trump is like Brexit for America. The UK thought British exceptionalism was enough for them to pull through the increasingly glodbalized economy, but they are suffering and will continue to suffer. Fortunately, I don't think the US will be in as bad if a spot, as we do have the largest economy and access to both oceans, along with a powerful military. Still, American soft power is probably gonna wane.

My mental health is deteriorating rapidly.

It helped me to accept that things will be bad and just be ok with your powerlessness to do anything about those in power. We all get mired in this presentism that makes us believe that Joe Rogan is always going to be the hottest shit in media, that MAGA will always be the most powerful thing in politics, that what drove people to the polls for Trump today will drive them to him tomorrow, etc. Change can happen fast. You never know when the last cheeseburger could be eaten or the craven politicians jump ship due to a turning tide. 
 

Also, the stars will still be in the sky, dogs and cats will still love their people and bears will keep shorting in the woods. That is at least something that will probably stay the same for now … unless a gamma ray burst we never detected washes over earth and kills all life making all the unnecessary emotional space given to Trump worth nothing.

Not trying to be profound. If stuff like the Education Department and WIC are eliminated, my life will be much harder. But how much can I let that take away from trying to enjoy now?

How about no. 

Nominations shouldn't require spin doctors and shit-whisperers to 'explain' why a totally horrible pick is actually the greatest f-ing pick ever! The dude had a brain worm...in his brain...that DIED. Brain worms live to do two things - eat brains and shit eggs. His singular worm DIED. Yeah, I really want that kind of person in charge of determining what is and isn't safe to eat. 

And, anyone popping up with a 'he was just trolling! lol' hot take if/when any of these shitty picks are pulled is full of shit themselves. You want someone to make shitty hiring choices, put them in charge of a hot dog cart. It's not 'trolling' when the positions being filled are going to affect everyone in the damn country.

Up next, he's going to pick that snail trail head of Moms for Liberty for Education. Calling it now.

After all, nothing says qualified like someone who hates kids, hates books and hates education being tapped to be in charge of all those things until it can be completely gutted.

I'm personally looking forward to them blaming the Dems, despite being in control of every branch of government.

Oh this is absolutely the plan. 

They'll claim that the economy was super awesome until the time bombs Lex Luthor Biden left behind went off instead of noting that they inherited a good economy and once again drove it directly into the ground themselves. Failing grades for all republicans in the mid-terms will be blamed on dems totally cheating every step of the way [ provided people are still allowed to vote in 2 years... 'never have to vote again' and all that ]. People not being able to afford anything anymore won't be a tariff thing because the Fart Prince insists he knows how tariffs work but rather sabotage by political enemies and 'others'. And there will still be idiots who believe all that because Faux Noise said so.

You say that but with trumps presence there’s an increased desire from his party and supporters to commit acts of terrorism against anyone who isn’t a straight white dude

you think they’ll give celebrities a pass?  I have my doubts

Putin can make anyone he doesn’t like vanish off the face of the earth and that’s who trump wants to imitate 

I don’t think we should so easily ignore the fact he wants to imprison and possibly kill those who don’t like him 

Kill those he Doesn’t like 

If anyone thinks he can’t touch them  think again.

Denzel honestly thinks both sides are the same and we’d be getting a tyrant no matter what

I mean, he didn't exactly say that, but it's pretty disappointing that's all he's got to say about what's going on when it comes to politics right now. I get that he's trying to be apolitical in advance of the big movie he's in coming out, but saying something like that doesn't come off as apolitical really; it just comes off as gutless honestly because there really is no equating the way the left and the right operate anymore at all.

When his Stance is both sides are corrupt  that’s the same as saying voting for anyone is a vote for a dictatorship so why bother voting at all?

There's gonna be some resistance to him getting the things he wants, but we've seen in the past that he doesn't have a problem stepping back when there's a public outcry and then try to get what he wants later on again and again until either people's resistance has been broken down or he can just simply find a way around it. He's ignorant about how government is supposed to work, but he's primarily just looking to tear things down and purge anyone not loyal to him, so unfortunately given enough time he will eventually get his way on a lot things.

Just a matter of how many roadblocks can be thrown up to slow him down to try and run out the clock before the midterms when maybe, just maybe, the dems can get back the house or senate and act as an actual check on him. That's pretty wishful thinking I believe at this point though.

Yeah, I get what you're saying, but corruption doesn't necessarily equal dictatorship. There's been corruption in our government for a long time, as well as many others around the world, without it ever going anywhere near the point of a full-blown dictatorship.

Blue states. Literally the GOP has been deconstructing federal restraints for states to have more power. That doesn't just apply to red states.
