Lol, that was quick. Effectively, “Thanks for your supporters but we’ll be fine without you”.
This is legit the best political news this week by a wide margin. It’s still gonna fucking suck but at least we won’t have to worry about fucking polio on top of it
Kentucky voted to keep public taxpayer dollars from going to private schools.
It’s not much, but it’s a small win for us.
Good work Kentucky! I don’t get to say this enough but I’m proud of you.
Let’s see if that even matters. Red States have a history of ignoring votes like that.
See: Ohio basically trying everything it could to avoid enacting legal marijuana.
I wish Texas could’ve done the same, but Governor Hot Wheels is bound a determined to take us all back to the 20’s.
Not sure about Kentucky, but I know some wingers were concerned about a bill in Colorado and school funds meaning that the government would be peeking into how you did home schooling…so while they were not necessarily opposed to getting the government cheese for themselves, they were paranoid about “too much government” in their lives because they were getting money…
Yup, Missouri voted to allow abortion again. It isn’t much either, another small win. That was completely negated when they overwhelmingly voted for the man that will ban it nationally.
I was considering starting an Iron Lung manufacturing company
Damn, and there goes my FDR crutches monogramming Etsy along with it
Since we are going back to the 1800s I was going to start my business of radium water “medical tonics”, mercury medicine and x-ray show sizing machines
It’s definitely a big relief. Here I was expecting the US to throw out a century of medical advancements and halt all vaccine research, which is not only very bad for the US, but leaves a lot of other countries in the lurch (fortunately at least for Australia, our first mRNA vaccine manufacturing plant should be online next year).
Thank you, I hope you’re right.
Imagine thinking a Donald Trump promise holds any value
Donald Trump’s promises are a solid as the water they’re written on.
Unless it has anything to do with making rich people richer, racism, or women… And u can be damned sure it will happen… And we all know it’s not for the better
Only inasmuch as it personally enriches him
Water? You mean Pee spread over a russian hooker*?
*
The russian piss tape story was likely fake news
As solid as the bowel movements in his diaper.
A trump never pays his debts
Him not following through on shit is all the hope I have left.
Wait a second, you mean Trump just used the guy and is now dropping him like a half-eaten Big Mac? I am shocked. SHOCKED, I say.
Don’t be ridiculous.
Trump would never eat only half a Big Mac
Half eaten salad? No, he’d never eat any of a salad. Not enough cholesterol.
But it’s a hamburger salad?
(Yeah, that didn’t work in the 5yo either.)
I think that’s the answer. He’d eat the hamburger half.
This just made me think, are nachos a salad. Im leaning yes because of egg salad and macoroni salad.
Technically speaking, nachos and salad are two different food groups. But by this same definition a steak is a salad and a salad is actually nachos, provided it has croutons.
Maybe if it was covered in ketchup like a well done steak
These words are violence.
He already ate 3 full ones. This is the remnants of the 4th.
I would love nothing more than for this to be true and to hit that one RFK fan we have on lemmy with it, but the article doesn’t really give much evidence to support the title.
hit that one RFK fan we have on Lemmy with it
Idk why, but this made me laugh so hard. I know I have seen the elusive Lemmy RFK fan in a thread somewhere.
Nobody wants JFK Jr in charge of their health, not even Trump and they knew it from the start. But good to see.
Eh, the qons would be all over it in order to yell “fuck your feelings” at any liberals they think his policies were hurting. I mean, he was talking about ivermectin again (JFC these people are all so very stupid), and bullshit about that is something that they will seemingly never stop going on about. They were willing to take ivermectin and die from Covid, just to own the libs, because: “fuck your feelings, libs!”
So yeah, if enough of these brainstems thought that RFK jr was going to be hurting the “right” people, they would be in like Flynn on the craziness, even if their kids’ teeth were falling out as a consequence.
As a nearly 80 year old man who is likely eating a fistful of pills every morning, he might want to ensure that the FDA is still regulating that stuff.
You don’t really need that if you have access to money. You just get a real doctor, not one of the quacks that you drag out for political theater to appease the ignorant conspiracy loving base.
US drugs unsafe? import them from europe or directly from the pharmaceutical company that makes them.
The only people who get fucked by these decisions are the “normal” people without great wealth or connections.
And how does one find out that these US drugs are unsafe?
Oh that’s right, people fucking die. That includes wealthy people btw. If the opioid crisis has taught us anything…
It’s that if you make enough money from hurting people there are no consequences
Well, that too… But we already knew that.
Clinical trials will still happen for approvals in other countries, even if the FDA collapses.
He doesn’t need RFK to run the FDA, because Trump is going to just scuttle it entirely.
Science bad! Doctors bad! Let the drug companies do what they want! Freedumb y’all!
You spelt ruin incorrectly.
Spelt is a type of grain
Type means writing on a keyboard
Means are just averages.
Averages are for heights.
Lest anyone think this is about policy or even politics - it ain’t.
This is about the wrong guy getting the headlines. Simple as.
Broken clock. But honestly this is for the best old brain worm is insane.

Sorry mate, English is not my first language.
If you think RFK’s whiplash is bad, wait until Musk finds out Trump has no more need for him either.
Musk has money to give Trump
Musk doesn’t want to give money to Trump.
Must wanted Trump elected so he could make his self driving systems road legal for robotaxis. He’s hoping to get all that money back and then some. If he gets what he wants, he’ll be most of the way towards being a trillionaire.
But Trump is not a man who pays his debts and I’m here for the inevitable betrayal.
Also, he doesn’t want Trump to ban EVs, or otherwise put up roadblocks to their adoption.
Didn’t Musk find that out the first time too? He was advising Trump in 2016 and had a falling out after Trump left the Paris climate agreement.
I’m kind of surprised because Tesla and Trumpnis pro coal and gas. Is Elon eating his own face? Or is he willing to cannibalize Tesla because he has government contracts and Trump will probably hand him any government contract he wants?
Musk has most of his wealth in Tesla stock. That will skyrocket if his substandard self-driving tech is allowed to be used in unattended autonomous taxis.
Instead of selling cars, he’ll sell a service. Instead of selling a car costing $40,000, each car will make that in a few months.
pharmaceutical companies probably made some lucrative deals with Trump to be pro vaccine. This guy learned from first hand why he should not suck up to a guy who worships money and power
Evil companies pressuring an evil man… equals a positive result?? I’m surprised at the way that math math’ed out
So we’re past the “big tent” stage and to the “Stabbing in the back” stage.
That took what like a quarter of a mooch?
Just wait until him and Elon get at each others’ throats.
Nah, that’s not gonna happen. Mush want’s to hang out with the cool
kidsoligarchs and will always be willing to lick the boots to be accepted. It’s kinda like Beavis and Butt-head’s worship of Todd, no matter how much contempt and abuse he heaps upon them it just makes Todd cooler in their eyes.
I guess we now know how crazy you have to be for Trump not to want you around. Like “WORM ATE MY BRAIN” crazy.
Nah, “Brain-eating worm tried to eat my brain and died from it,” crazy.
Well I got to say I’m relieved that he’s backstabbing the right people… So far. Well honestly anybody they’d be counted as backstabbing I wouldn’t mind.
First they came for RFK jr and I did nothing because I’m not a brain worm…
Then they came for the boot licking senators, and I did nothing because I’m not a boy licking senator.
Then they came for people I cared about and by that time I was prepared because I know they are coming for me
I’m not a boy licking senator
This isn’t even a typo!
Mike Johnson’s porn alert just went off.
Fucking coward. Own up to your shitty beliefs.
Trump? He actually believes they work. He made sure he got vaccinated. He just knows he can pander with it.
He sent vaccines to Putin even.
I don’t know if it was vaccines, but he sent tests to him when we didn’t have enough for our own citizens. You know, America First sort of things.
Oh, maybe it’s was tests is what I read
It was testing machines newly developed by Abbott Labs, not single use tests. You know they immediately reverse engineered that too
Grifter got used and dumped. You serve no purpose anymore.
