Putting RFK Jr. in charge of public health is like hiring an arsonist because he has strong opinions about smoke detectors. This is what idolatry looks like with a medical seal: evidence becomes heresy, expertise becomes corruption, and every corpse becomes somebody else’s fault. Science can admit error and change course. Fanaticism cannot, because its leader’s infallibility matters more than your child’s pulse. Viruses don’t watch podcasts, accept excuses, or salute Cabinet titles.
Jesus Christ! Lancaster County--that's where I grew up, so this article hits close to home. Awful shame. Lots of You-Know-Who supporters there, unfortunately, but also a lot of people who know better. I certainly hope it doesn't spread further.
RFK Jr. goes around the world convincing people to play Russian roulette with their own lives, then claims no responsibility when they die. This goes beyond incompetence, past irresponsibility, straight to criminality. He should be removed from office, and anyone who tries to stop it should be added to the indictment as an accessory.
Jeffrey,agree 100%. Time to go on offense against this disgusting piece of human flesh.He has taken the Kennedy name into the toilet. He is trying to reduce the size of the US population.
Corporate politics. Corporate media. Corporate medicine. Corporate international relations. Corporate law enforcement. Corporate incarceration. Corporate… Is it just me, or does there seem to be a common thread here?
Three things come to mind. The movie "invasion of the bodysnatchers", the 1996 Series The Arrival
and the TV Series, "Braindead" starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead:
The missions appears to be to depopulate the planet, and to destroy the United States of America, both are proceeding apace RFK Jr and Trump are the perfect team
Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1989, his lst wife, Ivana, was the daughter of a Czech KGB operative. His code name is Krasnov.
He has no political ideology, only a drive for power, and a Democracy is the antithesis of power. As the power it confers is fleeting., and held in check by balances.
I've been dealing with difficult family issues and have been unable to tune in for the last week. This was probably covered and may seem off-topic. But has anyone suggested that the reason Jeffries met with Kushner could be that there are people in the administration and in the family who are preparing to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump? This may make things even worse, or it may help rid us of Kennedy, Stephen Miller, and a few others. But that would be a valid reason that Jeffries was obliged to take the meeting. Has this been discussed at all? Should we all try to map out where that move would take us?
It seems unlikely to happen that way, but we should be looking ahead. In 2028 either he'll be still in office and try either another Beer Hall putsch to stay in power or else set himself up to be the power behind the throne. Conversely, if he's dead or totally incapacitated by then, Vance will have to be carefully watched and fought as necessary. Because he'll "seem normal" and is "carrying on the legacy" it is possible that he'll quickly get through some truly awful stuff. Nobody has Trump's evil charisma, but what he started could keep marching on. We can hope for a return to being a normal country again (think of how fast England swung away from being a Commonwealth after Cromwell died) but there is no guarantee that will occur. Those who put Trump up are still around, and there's a lot of damage to be repaired.
"Those who put Trump up are still around..." That seems like an understatement. I do not think that Trump being dumped by Jared and those very ambitious players who are trying to set themselves up for great power and wealth is unlikely. There is no love or loyalty when it comes to the whole group of lowlifes in the Trump family and circle. Vance subscribes to some incredibly horrible beliefs. I do not take comparisons to things that happened here or elsewhere in the distant past as very reliable indicators of what to expect in our future or as unchangeable. Not sure what a normal country is or how we could ever have been put in that category, but the point is well-taken. We are certainly nowehre near normal now.
Category of JOKE to COPE; Humorist Andy Borowitz put out a post with a picture of RFKjr next to: “If I am going to take medical advise from a former heroine addict, I choose Keith Richards.” I hope Thom is aware of The Rolling Stones guitarist. Laughing ain’t a pleasure ‘til ya know how to cry ! Like for that “Dixie Darlin’“ the World just lost. Also the name of a song Dolly sang with Arlo Guthrie. VOTE for a COUNTRY, not a crime scene ! Thanks Thom & love to ALL !!
I got a COVID shot on Saturday. They told me the new formula will be out in a month if I wanted to wait. I took the one available on Saturday because of an upcoming event and want to be covered.
Why do so many Americans buy into Kennedy's vaccine phobia? Kennedy is a recovering drug abuser and guy who boasts about eating roadkills. He has no medical degrees or licenses. He is just another billionaire's nepo son.
I think a simple answer is that most of us were vaxxed as toddlers when we were justifiably needlephobic - "Ouch! That hurts!" By our mid-teens, most of us have overcome fear of needles - a frequent means of anesthetizing us against pain. But it does make me wonder if vaccine unpopularity is linked to childhood experiences with needles, or maybe an additional desire by parents not to have to cope with their toddlers screaming their lungs out just to get a life-saving vaccine that some celebrities assert do not work or even make you sicker and/or make your babies autistic or intellectually disabled.
After the Democratic Congressional avalanche occurs, whimpering fascist Republicans will say, “oh we were just joking around” or “let’s just forget about that we tried to tear down democratic norms and institutions”, or “hey, we’re going to mend our ways”, or “let’s forget about election interference and sabotage”. Cheap words from people who previously supported a fascist autocoup in which the president himself tried to overthrow the government.
The fascist predatory Republicans along with their greedy pig pen of corporations have favored an unregulated government that supports a growing wealth gap while leaving WE the People behind financially.
But America wants political accountability from their elected senators and congress people. WE the People want AIPAC and big money out of politics and elections. The fascist Republican think tank, author of Project 2025, Heritage Foundation has actively corrupted the judicial branch with the help of a hypocritical Congress getting a politically biased SCOTUS. Destroying the medical system is a necessity for the wealthy because it saves $$$ because the social safety net is handing out undeserved taxpayer money to people who should be working. By the way eugenics is just fine for the wealthy, says RFK Jr and rascist policy is just great for Cheeto.
Fascist Republican corporate oil industry donors want the public to be blinded to the global warming for its own self interests. Stopping the culture wars like book banning is up to WE the People. Instigating an illegal foreign war without Congressional approval is OK with the fascist party.
So no, America better not forget what these fascists have done to this country. Never forget. They should not be elected to dogcatcher for the next 10 years.
My flag is inverted on my front porch with “Disaster Area” (like police crime scene tape) angled across it. Which as you are well aware of, is a crime scene (in motion) currently. Also, the flag deserves to be over a coffin for fallen military, police & firefighters, etc. Not INSIDE the coffin !!
I don't give a damn about your flag, Sir. And I mean that in a truly respectful sense, but you must realize it does not symbolize to me what it apparently symbolizes to you. Know that I was damn near born in the military and came from several generations of combat veterans including a Non-Lethal Combat (USMC) Instructor father. What European-Amerikans are jumping up and down about with hair afire is shit my people have negotiated, and suffered through for four centuries.
Ergo, I have very little empathy because Trump has been incubating for 400 years and it is absolute intellectual dishonesty for anyone to act as though they are righteously and indignantly surprised. The United States has not only the government it voted for (at least twice, in staggered elections) it has the government it deserves.
This is just another branch or wedge of the Trump Revenge Tour he's foisting on the US public. It's impossible to comment on parents who consistently vote for these/this BOZO as they watch their children die of preventable diseases. They watch themselves get the lettuce disease with explosive diarrhea and still vote for them. (This may be changing a bit more recently though) They watch the military get gutted, our social services get ravaged, our education systems get destroyed with nonsense and incompetents. IT IS ON PURPOSE!
Kennedy, without the name, would be regarded as a nut case.
Ignore the name and look at him clearly. What objective could he have which is achieved by increasing illness and death to his fellow citizens?
Is it that he is getting paid to undermine the use of vaccines?
Is it that the Kennedy family has to some extent disowned him, so he is filled with the hatred that comes with isolation?
Is it simply because Trump is desperate to reduce costs because of the gigantic deficit he has created?
Is Mary Trump’s theory correct, and he’s working with Trump to work with Trump’s idol, Putin? Why, by the way, are Trump’s conversations with Putin not recorded as they are supposed to be?
Is he, with Trump, trying to destroy America’s faith in science and what they would call the elites? As Trump once famously said, don’t believe what you are hearing or seeing, just listen and believe in me.
What’s the motivation? What is he getting out of this destruction?
But above all, why is the Senate allowing this predator to run free, potentially sickening or even killing the nation’s children?
And was it Kennedy who encouraged Trump to tear down the Kennedy centre?
Many Trump sometimes seems extreme in her comments, but she’s also often been proven to be right.
We should remember, - especially in the Time of Trump - that disasters often occur due to a Failure of Imagination.
Trump has plenty of imagination when it comes to schemes that bring him money. We need to trust our own imagination to predict and try to prevent the disasters he creates.

NEVER FORGET AMERICA ABOUT FASCIST REPUBLICANS
After the Democratic Congressional avalanche occurs, whimpering fascist Republicans will say, “oh we were just joking around” or “let’s just forget about that we tried to tear down democratic norms and institutions”, or “hey, we’re going to mend our ways”, or “let’s forget about election interference and sabotage”.

Sensei, during your monologue/introduction of today's THP, you stated (pertinent to this issue) "This is not Amerika."
Indeed, 'ts.

And you've yet to witness the fallout; literally.
I know I will never understand , because I’m not black. Still learning and you help in that regard.
By the by, I still have the trifold flag that draped my father's coffin in 1996 (age 56) and shall carry it to the grave with me (or the incinerator).
I truly, and deeply, respect that acknowledgement, Sir. It is, indeed, exceptional. Thank you.
