Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

No shit. Next they're gonna drop a bombshell report that sometimes dogs are brown.

I still... maybe it's my years working construction, but when I look at RFK Jr. - his mannerisms and gestures and speech patterns and connection (or lack thereof) to reality - I see a tweaker, clear as a bell.

THIS MAN HAS A WORM IN HIS BRAIN.

How we allowed him to lead the HHS is beyond me.

Coming from Silicon Valley, I can assure RFK, my friends with autism are absolutely crushing it out here.

I look at their homes and families and think “fuck, carve me off a slice of that spectrum.”

"Have you ever seen anyone...71 years old, with full-blown autism?" Kennedy asked. "Head-banging, nonverbal, non-toilet trained, spinning, toe-walking...these other stereotypical features?"

"Where are these people walking around the mall? You can't find them," he said. "They're not in homes, there are no homes for them, there are no institutions... anybody can look around and see that this is a canard."

I keep seeing the Forest Gump quote overlayed over him whenever I see one of his posts, "I am not a bright man."

The moment has reignited broader concerns about Kennedy's qualifications and judgment...

He has no qualifications and an exactly equivalent amount of judgement.

"cannot be this stupid?" This is a kakistocracy, it's only stupid.

It's an administration of "well, I haven't seen it, so obviously it isn't real."

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

It's an administration made up of people who aren't smart enough to get better jobs, which assures their loyalty. There's definitely other people who love trump who are actually qualified for these positions, but they would have said no to some of this at some point.

I read that in the voice of Ron Howard

Methinks the "doctors" fucked up his so-called brain worm incident...

Evidently, they removed what there was of the brain and left the decaying dead worm in its place.

🤷‍♂️

It's not doctor's. Dude spent his life eating trash at the dump and no I don't mean that figuratively.

Twist: The worm is still alive, and operating RFK Jr. like a fleshy mech.
