In my opinion he is by far the most controversial nominee. I knew I wouldn't like all of Trumps nominees for cabinet positions and I don't necessarily dislike this one, but like so many of bidens horrendously bad picks did, this one has me a bit nervous.
why?
'Cuz he's nuts.
Whatever.
Bobby Jr. is a real authoritarian and his instincts are for social control. But unlike most dems, I think he does really care. And especially on the Big Pharma lies and the complicity of the US medical bureaucracy he was nails on Covid and the clot shots. I would still get my kids vaxxed for the usual suspects but no mRNA shots until actually run through some real and intensive trials. Obesity probably is the biggest US health threat and he really is the only voice in the wilderness on this. Sort of like the dazzler except he was the one that was phucking nuts on the chicom crud. And everything else.
His job is to gut the nonsense and regulatory capture in FDA, CDC, NIH etc. That’s it.
Two things
RFK blows chunks on energy and is a bit of an authoritarian - democrat roots run deep
He is good for this position. An extensive review of all the childhood vaccines is well over due. Properly test and look at how they react with each other. Keep the good, get rid of the bad - that's a win / win
The efficacy of a vaccine should not be determined by the manufacturer
I was a RFK guy in 1968. My dad was already a McGovern guy. Last day of school 1968 we were sadly discussing yet another assassination, 3 big ones before I got out of grade school
I was a Nixon guy in 1968. But I was a California mock dem delegate at the Mock Democratic Convention that was held in late May at Sunset High School in Beaverton. RFK Sr. was in Oregon for the Oregon primary and spoke at the Convention in the gym and it was pandemonium. No security and the crowd was really into Bobby. And yet on May 28th he lost badly to anti-war candidate Eugene McCarthy in the Oregon primary. He did win the June 4th California primary and was assassinated early in the morning on June 5th. Bobby Sr. was perhaps the last dem that hated corrupt dem unions. Perhaps that is where his son gets it on Big Pharma.
My 12 year old brain thought that Clean Gene McCarthy should have got RFK delegates since they were running on similar platforms and Humphrey was the past that LBJ wouldn't run on. But Democrats love the back room and ran HHH to defeat
Disagree, Tulsi is going to be the biggest fight because the intelligence agencies have the most to hide and the most pull on all our corrupt politicians in the senate.
They want a secret vote on Tulsi
it's normal I read earlier... but does make it harder to pressure to pass out of committee... my guess is Collins is a no
Why? Because some of his past comments are a bit wacko and he is a Kennedy. I learned at an early age that surrounding yourself with people you trust and know well creates the strongest team.
I am not saying he shouldn't get the position. Changes are made regularly on cabinet positions throughout any Presidency so if it doesn't work Trump can make a change. I am only stating that he makes me a bit nervous on the pick. I like a lot of his positions but for me it is a question of loyalty and being able to stay on plan, Trumps plan.
Noncommittal, down with everything/everyone poast. Yea or nay, Gasbag?
I was pretty clear. But since you are dense, definitely a yay. Being right on the big issues is important. Only a leftard thinks that virtue signaling somehow conveys a serious policy commitment.
mice in blenders!!!
