Honestly kind of weird, you would expect him to allow literally anybody to advertise their drugs from his usual deregulatory stance.

Wow, finally something I agree with him on

He's a weird mix of "cannot be allowed near the job" and great ideas.

Well, two. This and getting the stigma off of psychedelics.

Nothing's worth having an anti-vaxxer in charge, though. Not even close.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

You forgot his third one, he supports stem cell research, which is odd given that his new buddies don't approve of creating new sources of stem cells (aborted fetal tissue).

Yes, that would be good, but let's be real here, this is basically a statement that says "hey big pharma, I'm not getting enough campaign contributions!! Get off your ass and give me some cash!" - Trump

This will NEVER get passed in a Trump administration. It's all window dressing on a big pile of streaming shit.

I guess the worm didn't eat all of it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Nearly all countries do this. Even the regressive ones. It's one of the biggest reasons why pharma is a massive cash cow in the US, alongside the fact that we don't negotiate drug prices aside from a handful of drugs and only medicare/medicaid and only the past <4 years or so.

Fishing for bribes imo.

Even a blind clock is a horse once in a while

A broken horse will lead a man to water at least twice a day in the bush

Seriously, he gives me major whiplash. Like 90% of his opinions are pure bullshit, but I often agree with the remainder.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago (2 children)

He also left the dead carcas of a bear in Central Park.

He also drove over 300 miles to cut the head off a beached whale and bring it home.

RFK does a lot of strange things, and i don't think it was 100% the brain worm either.

"When your rich they just let you do it" - Some rich asshole

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

He also had a habit of eating raw or even partly rotten meat for a while IIRC. That's probably how he got that brain worm.

The behind the bastards podcast about him was a wild ride

[–] [email protected] 34 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The other was avoiding processed foods. I'm guessing he won't be allowed to implement that either when his boss gets a wheelbarrow full of cash from the McClown.

There's a shot of RFK and the rest of the Dream Team holding a Big Mac somewhere and he genuinely looks like they've asked him to pose with a freshly laid dog turd.

Trump is smiling in the picture like he just made his new stooge pose with a dog turd

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

RFK just looks terrible in every picture I've seen

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Mike johnson photobombing in from the side, trying to be included.

Ads, yes. Class action legal ads for pharmasutical side effects/injury can stay. Do your testing ya smucks.
