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.

He's a virus himself.

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.

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?

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.

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

Not to depopulate the planet...just the USA...for Putin's sake. Why is Trump talking to Putin every two weeks?

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.
