Wants to use the accident for some kind of freak out racist message, very strange.

You wonder what the 47% of the US army is thinking who aren’t white?

I thought the helicopter pilot was white, in which case, we should ban whites from the skies.

Bizarre.

The View are going love this.

The more of the nonsense he spouts, the less his messages will get through.

Us centrists…we aren’t having any of it.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Maybe with Trump, there are so many meaningless announcements that the population kind of shrugs it off after awhile.

The entertainment president.

 

[the phantom menace]

And people though Biden was losing his marbles...

And mini-Trump Dutton is desperately trying to copy the MAGA playbook in Australia.

The antivax guy was exposed as being on the litigation grift and played the no speak english card a few times when asked if he would refrain from loading the system for his financial gain. To date he has banked $2.5m.

So apparently he does adds for ambulance chasers and gets a 10% cut on everything. Elizabeth Warren suggested that he could use his position as top health guy to bolster “evidence” that could be used in these litigation cases against the government, that he would ultimately profit from. He was asked to make an undertaking to simply not take any receipts in this manner during his tenure and 4 years thereafter. His response was yeah, nah.

Not defending him but why don't all politicians then agree to the same deal?
Apparently he signed and agreed to all the ethical contracts.
Yes he made money we all know that's why they are all there.

I agree. Our politicians from recent governments who are now working in defence private enterprise after awarding billions in defence contracts is ethically horrifying.

This guy however is the ultimate wolf in sheeps clothing. He wants to talk about obesity and life expectancy (which is wonderful) but won’t talk about a citizen’s right to healthcare.

We all know his position on vaccines. We have heard him say unedited that no vaccines are safe and that his advice to any young family is to not vaccinate babies. Now, when pressed in these senate / congress hearings, he uses weazle words like “my children are vaccinated” (they are 25-42) as if that give some legitimacy to his current views. When pressed by others, he claims that he will always support data. A congressman who is a Dr said to him that the data on the measles vaccine and autism is settled, so is he prepared to state that now ? Kenndy said that he does not have that data in front of him. FMD

This appointment, if confirmed, is a deal Trump did with the devil. We are not surprised of course, because previously Trump has appointed a former boss from Exxon in charge of tge EPA / environment.

I know where Kennedy is going with this, he wants vaccines to be a choice. My body my choice and does not think that a Government shoukd have the right to dictate / legislate what a American can do with their body. One congressman pressed him on this and then used the same argument with abortion. Kennedy just changed the subject.

Medicare is ridiculous right now but let's not pretend no politician wants it as they are probably getting kick backs from insurance companies or big Pharma.

Here in Aus we don't deal with obesity at all schools barely make you do sports anymore.

Wolf in sheeps clothing all politicians are the same this guy just does it not as well. Is he a robot with that voice wtf.

Everyone in the world should have choice what they do with their body as long as it's not effecting other people.

Well unfortunately his ideologies infiltrated Samoa. There will be his cronies who will attempt to whitewash or distract, but his DNA is all over it.

Infectious diseases DO effect other people.

RFK Jr's comments on deadly measles outbreak 'a complete lie' - Samoa's director-general of health

"It was obvious these people died from measles," Alec Ekeroma told RNZ.

Its pretty funny she is grilling him over getting money for some political thing. Funny as in totally hypocritical.

How much money does Elizabeth Warren make every year in contributions from pharma, food, agriculture industries? .... its in 7 figures .... same for pretty much every person grilling him.


Its also quite comical how you call him antivax guy (and likewise with others all the time) .... he has a name. You know it. Everyone else knows it. It even has an acronym incase you are too lazy to type it. .... does it give you some misguided sense of power? Do you think it makes you look better? Do you enjoy trying to belittle people in childish ways to try and win the internet? .... its kinda lame tbh

You totally avoided the premise. Deal with what her concerns were and that he is seeking to be in charge of US health. Is that pretty funny ?

Canadian MP wont be on Donny's christmas card list

Do you have a problem that lots of high ranking bureaucrats in health positions in US get very large commissions from pharma? They dont even have to specifically disclose exactly what they are. .... no you dont, we've been there before.

Do i think RFK Jr (more affectionately known as, the antivax guy) should get money as part of prosecuting people who do bad shit. No. I dont think he should while he has an official appointment. ... interestingly, no one cared when he was helping prosecute environmental issues in the past.

Overall i think it is a good thing someone will be in charge of actually looking into things. Govt isnt meant to be the shills for big business. Which is exactly where the US (and everywhere else) has been heading.

Why dont you post the bit where he says he cant individually make things happen - cos it needs ti go through congress. All the xhicken littles are running this, omg he alone will make the world implode campaign, whicg isnt true. But hey, all the chicken little politucians have $millions of reasons to say that.

Not really... he's doing what he was always going to do. The enjoyment in the next 4 years will be just watching when he loses his "momentum" (or "marbles") and crumbles.

The silver lining for "us guys" is that the fall out from Trump's crash or burn approach is that these four years could well be the last time Republicans see power in the US for... maybe even decades.
