THIS ASSHOLE AGAIN.
Imagine a world where this asshat managed to hold up the lifesaving vaccination. The fact that donvict killed more Americans than anyone else in history infuriates me as it is, but the fact that dickhead thinks he has standing for something like this. Just the fucking balls. The sense of fucking baseless entitlement …JFC.
Ok so, when you intend to run a dictatorship and let people suffer at the expense of idiots with actual dead brain worms in their head it’s important to remember that if you kill off people’s children and loved ones and others survive - the ones that survive typically lose their “civility” and take matters into their own hands.
All it takes is one member of the secret service to lose someone that matters to them by something this administration causes for the administration to be done with.
At some point, the people guarding the vault will realize that they can distribute the vault amongst themselves and get rid of the individual who owns the vault.
The level of propaganda in this country - not only in “legacy” media, but the algorithms on “social” media - is so fine-tuned that they could probably get most people that went through that kind of tragedy to still want to put Fauci in prison and/or kill him.
We’re so fucked.
I just don’t know with this guy…
Like 4/5 things he says make me think “holy shit, yes! The science has been clear for decades, highly processed food is the primary cause of obesity and probably more, but no one has been willing to actually take a stand against it”. Even stuff like the camps for mental illness… Yeah, it sounds bad coming from an administration of fascists, but having a place where you can just exist as long as you need while doing chores is actually a sorely needed safety net that would genuinely make an enormous difference, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and many disorders are effectively treated by just letting people exist while doing basic labor
Then I get to the fifth thing, and I realize “holy shit, this guy is just actually insane”. It recontextualises the first 4, because if you get rid of highly processed food by killing the FDA people are just going to get straight up poisoned. And the mental health retreat turns into a work camp if it’s no longer completely voluntary
All in all, I don’t know how to feel about the guy. Like, vaccines are probably going to become a mess of proprietary bullshit if we cut regulation and stop pushing for heard immunity… But they’re probably going to become unaffordable and suffer the same fate with a replacement pick anyways
But I think he actually believes what he’s saying…I just think his brain is broken. Would it be better or worse to have someone who just wants deregulation because they were paid off? Would it even make a difference if the rest of the administration is going to use everything for the worst outcome through execution anyways?
I just don’t know how to feel about the guy… He’s insane, but I’m certain I won’t be on board with the replacement. He’s a real wild card for sure… Who knows what he would achieve in either direction

What the F…
And you got your PhD where? How many years of study did it take you to figure out this sweeping solution for all these conditions?
You haven’t a clue making your little gulag for “special” people.
Sorry mate, a place where mental health patients to just exist sounds to me like a terrible idea.
Notionally, not having to worry about anything and just do some basic chores might sound therapeutic, but I can assure you that residing in such a place would be a harrowing experience.

I think he still wants raw milk to be a thing, for fuck’s sake. I don’t know if he’s moved on that at all, given seeing headlines like “guy gives his cats raw milk and kills them with bird flu” type of thing. Maybe even Brainworms is not THAT tone deaf, but who the hell knows.
I am not a prognosticator, I can’t say how bad things will get. I can say that Covid didn’t just magically disappear, and Bird Flu won’t just go away. The reality is ignoring zoonotic pathogens is a surefire way to kill off a large portion of the population. RFK Jr is just another old fucking shit bag that wants to be right even if he is wrong and who doesn’t care if his ignorance or self-righteousness kills you or anyone else. Your health is not his priority. His wealth and power are where his priorities lie. Please take care of yourselves and don’t rely on a person with a letter by their name or fame and fortune to save you, they won’t. Check on your loved ones, volunteer to help those vulnerable, and be empathetic and kind and we will get through this. Good luck.
He is also missing pieces of his brain … Just reminding people he claimed to have a brain eating worm.
I hear what you are saying - the reality-based community will do the right thing, most likely (if they are able to - Brainworms may make that difficult).
Unfortunately, herd immunity is a thing. That’s why we need a responsible government with sane stewards at the wheel. Having asshats like this in charge will KILL even those that do the right thing when it comes to vaccinations.
What a fucking stupid period of history to live through
What this reminds me of is all the fucking weirdoes, scam artists, racists, and conspiracy theorists that came to prominence during Obama’s campaign and during his two terms, being put in office as donvict’s revenge against smart people that laughed at him. Donvict looked around at things like Failin’ Palin and Michele Bachmann and the circus of the teabaggers and thought - “I want people like those people to have power”
Remember Orly Taitz? A podcast I listened to did a “where are they now?” on that clown, and she is still alive. I’m surprised dipshit donvict didn’t give her a role in his maladministration. My guess is that she was more or less laughed off the TV at some point and donvict forgot about her, but donvict, who engaged in the exact same birther bullshit, was given a platform, so he bullshitted his way into office on white male anger over the fact that Obama got TWO terms and no, he wasn’t a “Kenyan usurper”.
Shouldn’t have wished to live in more interesting times.
If only the times we lived in were actually interesting instead of boring, tedious, and deadly.
Even the rockets and global satellite internet thing that objectively is kind of awesome is completely ruined by just having the worst people involved. Although I guess it’s classic USA to have your rockets being built by Nazis.
"Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down?
That’s not my department, " says Wernher von Braun.
Just wanted to point out how awesome Tom Lehrer (wikipedia) is as a musician/satirist/teacher as well as just a decent human – he relinquished all copyright ownership over his music catalog and currently* has his songs, sheet music and lyrics available for free download at https://tomlehrersongs.com/.
Here’s the link to Wernher Von Braun where the parent lyrics come from.

Eh, I’m done thinking rockets are awesome. We’re busy burning the one planet we have down and we’re not learning enough in my opinion from space science to be justifying the pollution it creates. The Starlink satellites are creating way more space junk than we need and risk creating a Kessler syndrome.
We can worry about space when we’ve handled climate change and mass extinction and topsoil depletion and so on. Until then, it’s just wasting fucking time and energy.
The Starlink satellites are creating way more space junk than we need and risk creating a Kessler syndrome.
Sorta good news on that front. Starlink satellites are in such a low orbit that without regular boosting of their orbit they re-enter in short measure. The bad news is that means there are hundreds of pounds of e-waste re-entering and burning up on a regular basis and there have been studies suggesting it’s damaging the ozone layer.
Yeah, I’m leaning towards the same, even though I loved all this space stuff as a kid. Not wanting to sound overly dramatic, but it’s like seeing Musk stealing your childhood or something like that.

What a bunch of fuckin rubes, we just put all the people who should be prosecuted in charge.
America always does the right thing. After it has tried everything else.
I love a good quote from a genocidal imperialist that believes in Aryan race theory.
Stupid Churchill and his stupid “wit” and “charisma” making him so goddamn quotable
While it’s often attributed to Churchill, it most likely originated from Abba Eban.
Again, remind me why you didn’t vote because of Kamala’s stance on the Palestinian genocide and because she was picked without a primary election when the alternative was this?
Alls ya need is a horse paste and bleach cocktail
I’ll take mine on the rocks. lol.
Cloud you spread mine along a florescent bulb and let me deep throat it? Gotta get the light involved too.
You’re not gonna believe your luck, it’s a full flourescent spitroast!
Such great good fortune!
Well damn, now that would have sold it!
This is terrible news, if he bans vaccines I hope there would be a massive petition for many states to join Canada.
Chevron could actually save us here since courts, not agencies can ultimately decide policy. This could be their entire strategy to “prove” that they were right.
