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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_lost_username_ Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master-Debater131 Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Insipid Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 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. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

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'.

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
