Lest anyone think this is about policy or even politics - it ain't.
This is about the wrong guy getting the headlines. Simple as.
But the donnie dumbfuck fans voted for this! Why would you distance yourself?
As a nearly 80 year old man who is likely eating a fistful of pills every morning, he might want to ensure that the FDA is still regulating that stuff.
You don't really need that if you have access to money. You just get a real doctor, not one of the quacks that you drag out for political theater to appease the ignorant conspiracy loving base.
US drugs unsafe? import them from europe or directly from the pharmaceutical company that makes them.
The only people who get fucked by these decisions are the "normal" people without great wealth or connections.
And how does one find out that these US drugs are unsafe?
Oh that's right, people fucking die. That includes wealthy people btw. If the opioid crisis has taught us anything....
Grifter got used and dumped. You serve no purpose anymore.
Wait a second, you mean Trump just used the guy and is now dropping him like a half-eaten Big Mac? I am shocked. SHOCKED, I say.
Don’t be ridiculous.
Trump would never eat only half a Big Mac
Half eaten salad? No, he'd never eat any of a salad. Not enough cholesterol.
But it’s a hamburger salad?
(Yeah, that didn’t work in the 5yo either.)
All the alternative health community who voted for Trump got their comeuppance quick.
Well I got to say I'm relieved that he's backstabbing the right people... So far. Well honestly anybody they'd be counted as backstabbing I wouldn't mind.
First they came for RFK jr and I did nothing because I'm not a brain worm...
So we're past the "big tent" stage and to the "Stabbing in the back" stage.
That took what like a quarter of a mooch?
This is legit the best political news this week by a wide margin. It’s still gonna fucking suck but at least we won’t have to worry about fucking polio on top of it
Thank you, I hope you're right.
I was considering starting an Iron Lung manufacturing company
Damn, and there goes my FDR crutches monogramming Etsy along with it
Since we are going back to the 1800s I was going to start my business of radium water "medical tonics", mercury medicine and x-ray show sizing machines
Kentucky voted to keep public taxpayer dollars from going to private schools.
It's not much, but it's a small win for us.
Let's see if that even matters. Red States have a history of ignoring votes like that.
Not sure about Kentucky, but I know some wingers were concerned about a bill in Colorado and school funds meaning that the government would be peeking into how you did home schooling...so while they were not necessarily opposed to getting the government cheese for themselves, they were paranoid about "too much government" in their lives because they were getting money...
I wish Texas could’ve done the same, but Governor Hot Wheels is bound a determined to take us all back to the 20’s.
Good work Kentucky! I don’t get to say this enough but I’m proud of you.
First of many.
Fucking coward. Own up to your shitty beliefs.
Trump? He actually believes they work. He made sure he got vaccinated. He just knows he can pander with it.
He sent vaccines to Putin even.
I don't know if it was vaccines, but he sent tests to him when we didn't have enough for our own citizens. You know, America First sort of things.
Oh, maybe it's was tests is what I read
No
Imagine thinking a Donald Trump promise holds any value
Donald Trump's promises are a solid as the water they're written on.
Water? You mean Pee spread over a russian hooker*?
*
The russian piss tape story was likely fake news
Unless it has anything to do with making rich people richer, racism, or women... And u can be damned sure it will happen... And we all know it's not for the better
Only inasmuch as it personally enriches him
Nobody wants JFK Jr in charge of their health, not even Trump and they knew it from the start. But good to see.
Eh, the qons would be all over it in order to yell "fuck your feelings" at any liberals they think his policies were hurting. I mean, he was talking about ivermectin again (JFC these people are all so very stupid), and bullshit about that is something that they will seemingly never stop going on about. They were willing to take ivermectin and die from Covid, just to own the libs, because: "fuck your feelings, libs!"
So yeah, if enough of these brainstems thought that RFK jr was going to be hurting the "right" people, they would be in like Flynn on the craziness, even if their kids' teeth were falling out as a consequence.
