A lot of people are going to die because of this conspiracy theorist.
I think of someone very close to me who takes mediation for depression, medication that RFK thinks is bullshit, and medication that is regulated by the FDA.
She got a bad batch of something from a generic supplier and became dangerously suicidal. We were able to report this to the FDA and send them the medication so people wouldn’t die.
I can’t see how less staffing is going to make things better. We need more people on the ground so inspections are more regular and so deadly manufacturing problems are caught early.
They’ll blame democrats and win even more votes.
Not only are a lot of people going to die, the EU is going to be on some “bad” list very soon, because free travel and any kind of “free” shipping won’t be possible anymore - and I’d say even some Asian, African and maybe even Australia are going to follow that, heck, maybe even Canada. Although I’m not sure if Canada is able to actually do that…
Huh? What context is this list set up in? I don’t really see how it relates to the medication issue.
Vaccines and medications help in stopping the spread of diseases. If the rest of the world can’t make sure the US plays after international rules, they can’t let anyone or anything from the US in
Oooh yeah good point. I didn’t make that connection
I can’t see how less staffing is going to make things better.
Oh it makes things better alright. Better for the drug companies who now don’t have to deal with pesky things like “safety” and “consequences for killing people”.
Or “overhead”, to use a technical term.
You just need to reference their last playbook: less data means it’s not happening, like covid.
lol welcome to the middle ages
If you can avoid the dark ages, you should probably consider that a win right now…
Snake oil is back on the menu, boys.
I wonder if they will fudge some studies and numbers so that it will be evidence based snake oil?
Medicinal mercury is back baby! Just as long as there’s no vaccines!
Saying you are going to gut the CDC after a pandemic is peak shooting yourself in the face to spite the neighbors.
He gutted the Federal Pandemic Response Team in 2018.

He then took deliberate steps to inhibit pandemic response in 2020.
Dismantling the CDC and HHS is absolutely to be expected.
Sadly that didn’t affect trump voters when Trump kneecapped the pandemic response teams (including the CDC) before covid.

I would have figured losing 1-2 million Republicans would have helped in voting, but my Mexican neighbors decided they like Trump. Guess I’ll report them to ICE. The leopards must feed.
Guess I’ll report them to ICE.
How is that going to help anything? That just makes you an asshole.
They literally asked for it though?
Voted for it in droves.
Don’t start none won’t be none
Just giving them what they wanted.
If they voted then they aren’t illegally here?
Won’t mater to Trump
It doesn’t work like that.
If they voted, then they’re citizens. Reporting citizens to ICE won’t do anything.
The Haitians were here legally and he campaigned on kicking them out. And if you think the supreme court is about to defend any monitory’s rights you haven’t been paying attention. He’s gone on record saying it’s okay if they screw up a few times deporting people
Sure, but that doesn’t change the fact that ICE can’t deport citizens.
Our newly Republican controlled Congress, however, can legislate denaturalization.

Laws only matter where there’s a will and power to enforce them. This supreme court has made it clear the president can break laws if its an “official” order. I don’t think it’s likely but it’s absolutely possible. Europe didn’t see WW2 coming and plenty of Jews were German citizens. None of this is even unprecedented
On top of them just sounding like a total psycho. It’s interesting watching liberals become what they hate so quickly lol
It’s handy when the trash takes itself out, isn’t it.
I hate his voice and I’m sick of him already.
Nothing against people with his condition but if you’re gonna sound like you’re talking underwater make it worth my fucking time.
The Crypt Keeper’s voice would be more pleasant.
And somehow, their idiot supporters will find a way to blame someone else when all of these preventable diseases start making a comeback. It’ll be wokeness, or immigratns, or whatever, just anything other than their idiotic decisions.
“Why do we have Fruit Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients and you go to Canada and it’s got two or three?”
Goddammit don’t make me agree with RFKJr. With that said I have a feeling we’d disagree on how to rectify it.
Anything’s possible with lies.
Here’s Canada’s label:
https://smartlabel.kelloggs.com/en_CA/Product/Index/00064100492455#ingredients
Also, who the hell thinks cereal, least of all, fucking Fruit Loops, is some kind of health food?
No they list the ingredients on the front of the box. Fruit and Loops.
No, man, that’s in Canada where it’s natural. In the States, we use Froot. They’re Froot Loops.
That’s why we need RFK, maaaaaaaaaan.
If this is an actual problem, the solution is to use the FDA to make food healthier or have less junk ingredients or whatever. Getting rid of oversight isn’t going to do that. The FDA is what’s keeping rat turds from being the main ingredient
Rat turds are expensive. Sawdust is much cheaper.
I pay extra for the flavor
Only because sawdust is a plentiful byproduct of other industrial activity. Allow rat meat in your pies and the rat turds will flow!
Even if it does, trading fewer additives for more outbreaks of easily preventable diseases is probably not going to be a net gain. I’m also curious how this kind of thing would be enforced if we also gut the departments.
Note also that it’s not the FDA mandating those additives, the companies want them. Reducing oversight means more additives and/or worse additives so long as it aligns with the company’s interest.
You really think any kellogs cereal has “two or three” ingredients, anywhere?

This is such a trump voter comment. lol
Maybe in many cases it’s a difference in labeling requirements, and the content is identical?
Definitely not saying always, but the way this is conflated regularly to promote quackery is disheartening.
That said, US brand soda and corn syrup can eat a bag of dicks.
Remember to thank all the dipshits that supported diaper donnie and his insanity. Remind them that: “YOU did this.”
Biden got 81M votes, Harris 67. Where are the missing 15M people? Where were they?
Probably complaining about Gaza or some shit lmao. What are you trying to say here?
Democrats sounded the alarms and 15 million people, idk, pressed the snooze button.
They won’t hear about the bad things, or they’ll be told it was the Democrats that did it, and they’ll be believe it. Convincing MAGA of reality is pointless while they’re still feeding from the trough of conservative shit. We’re better off protesting and being disruptive in combination with getting our shit together for next round, where hopefully we’ll have real primaries and get our first competent general election candidate since Obama.
We’re better off protesting and being disruptive
I guess that depends. The fascists are practically itching to call out the military to put down anything perceived as violent.
True, but that’s not new. George Floyd, Occupy Wall Street, Seattle WTO, and the entirety of the civil rights movement all were met with state violence. The more they crack down, the more necessary it is to protest it.
I’m saying this time may be far, far different.
I always imagined him as the guy at the end of Road House where Patrick Swayze ripped his throat out and round-housed him into the pond. But he survived, left the redneckville and turns out half of his vocal cords was left intact.
I mean nothing new, Mr. Brainworm has been ranting about this for a while now and Trump has specified that gutting agencies was always his project 2025 plan so why would anyone be surprised here?
Good luck everyone and enjoy 2025!
Burn it all down.
Headline from the future:
“Displacing heart disease, the primary cause of death in the USA is now ‘easily preventable disease’”
All hail the brainworms, all hail the brainworms
Polio on the rise outside the Bible Belt.
More like “mysteriously falling from windows.”
I wouldn’t be surprised though if Trump just ignores him and appoints a drug company lobbyist instead. RFK Jr. forgot Rule #1 when dealing with Trump: get paid up front.
Awesome, we are in a situation where I am openly hoping for the corrupt commercial outcome…
Also that he demands absolute loyality but gives none.
Would be hilarious considering he dropped out just to beg trumo for a spot. He’s pathetic and hope you’re right
I hope at least they sack the ones who were approving drugs they knew didn’t work because of big pharma pressure. Would be a silver lining.
Well after they gut the FDA im sure those people will be gone
Now all drugs from companies who donate to the RNC will automatically be approved instead
With immunity for any other health issues they cause. We’re now living in an Oligarchy.
those are for sure the ones sticking around
Edit: Literally they’re going to put an “ivermectin covid” guy in charge despite the fact quality studies show it at best does nothing and at worst may be slightly harmful
A sugar pill plus prayers.
Sorry, “thoughts and players” ofc.
The whole presidency is alarming… Please find a bit that it is not?
Nah, let’s all take a good honest look at what’s happening and start preparing for it.
The Supreme Court will surely block….ummm
In not alarming news…Maybe the annual tradition of pardoning a turkey will remain largely unchanged
Assuming Trump is the turkey in this instance.
Given his age, there is a non-zero chance that he may die while in the presidency?
JD Vance isn’t exactly a charismatic individual (some might even go so far as call him ‘weird’); so this entire neo-fascist movement may very well fragment and flounder in the not too distant future.
I’m actually way more afraid of Vance in the presidency than Trump.
Why is that? He lacks the cult of personality to be able to carry on after Trump IMO, and was largely picked as a ‘Yes Man’.
If he dies before they are able to really get the structural changes in P2025 off the ground, Trump’s death will likely instigate the death of the movement. If it dies after that the P2025 restructuring has happened, won’t matter.
Probably because he’s smarter.
No doubt he’s smart, he hitched his wagon to the Trump train after all - but I don’t think that’s particularly important.
He doesn’t have Trump’s charisma, so he’d struggle to maintain control over his fan base and would likely face challenges from key faces in the cohort (eg. Ron DeSantis, MTG etc.)
This is basically my reasoning as well, he will most likely be eaten alive by the true believers and power brokers will break him over knee. All of Vance’s influence is derived from Trump. And especially if Trunp dies before inauguration he may very well become irrelevant depending on certain factors.
