It will be interesting to see whether she has any meaningful power beyond being a talking head. In hearings, it was clear she didn’t know much about the job and has been told by Trump’s inner circle that all immigration matters will be handled from inside the White House by Homan, Trump and Miller.

I’ve read from colleagues of hers when she was in the House who thought she was capable and dedicated then but don’t even recognize her personality and behavior since she has gone full MAGA.

She genuinely seems like someone who’s had a break.

If somebody mentioned to me that they agree that Trump should be allowed a 3rd term, I'd punch them in the mouth.

Before I make the post wanted to say you are correct. I confused how long you have been posting with one of the older posters that you slurped up every post he/she made. I was wrong about how long you have been posting but dead on about you being a total ass, hypocrite and the most bigoted poster on this board.

The pissing and crying I have read on this board on and off this week has been comedy fodder!!

And we are only 6 days in!!!

Enjoy and thanks to most if not all of the dems on this board. YOU and YOUR ilk are the very reason we have Trump 2.0... bigger, stronger, faster and with enough votes to get the jobs done!!

White House warns of ‘consequences’ for Republicans who don’t support all of Trump’s nominees

More Trump nominees with potentially rocky paths to confirmation face hearings in the Senate this week, including Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Kash Patel.

“… “It’s pass-fail. You either support everyone or you don’t,” a senior White House official told NBC News. “The Senate needs to advise and consent, not advise and adjust.”

… “There is a very well-funded consortium of outside groups and political actors that are sophisticated, smart and tough. We’ve already seen that they’ve provided air support and narrative support to some nominees,” said the official, referring to allied groups close to, but not directly controlled by, the White House.

“They’ll still be very well-funded when the nominations are over, and they’ll exact consequences, I’m sure, to those who do not support the president’s nominees and get them to the finish line.”

… Still, there is some unease. One Republican senator who has voted for all of Trump’s nominees so far said his colleagues will be wary of national security picks who “sound more like Tucker Carlson than a Republican,” referring to the hard-right conservative commentator who has been seen as friendly to U.S. adversaries such as Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We’ll only give so much,” said the senator, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the internal Senate thinking. “Because this is the future of the country. It’s not entertainment television.” …”

There are four terms by which I say you can gauge a moron.

1. They call other people "sheep."
2. They call other people "sheeple."
3. They say, "your ilk."
4. They describe themselves as a "free thinker."

Well, shit. I like using "your ilk" when talking about their ilk. Guess I'll have to either reconsider or not give a damn. Mmm, which seems easiest.

Sorry, lol. I probably should move it to my "it's complicated" terms, like "constitutional conservative." I've used it myself. But I just see so many of that, well, ilk, using the term. So I avoid it.

“…
Less than a year later, in June 2019, Kennedy Jr. received an invitation to visit Samoa from Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, who had expressed that he’d previously lost a grandchild “under similar circumstances,” which many understood to mean due to complications relating to vaccines. Edwin Tamasese, a local vaccine skeptic, had told Malielegaoi about Children’s Health Defense, and urged him to invite Kennedy Jr. to speak with him.

Kennedy Jr. knew all about the deaths in Samoa, and Children’s Health Defense had been using it to make misinformation materials and escalate its calls for “vaccine safety science,” despite the fact that the deadly error in the case had been a human one.

It was then that Kennedy Jr. pitched his cruel experiment: to use the drop in vaccination rates as an opportunity to see if vaccines actually work (spoiler alert: They do).

He brought with him Dr. Michael Craven, the Children’s Health Defense’s new chief information officer, who could set up an information system to track the effects of vaccines, or lack thereof.

Ultimately, his pitch wasn’t convincing. “I was not interested in his ideas—he was not a medical doctor,” Malielegaoi told NBC News. “Our medical experts are more credible to me.”

But Kennedy Jr. wasn’t far from done trying to intervene. Months later, when a measles outbreak started to spread through Samoa, Kennedy wrote to Malielegaoi suggesting that there was another reason for the spate of deaths. By the end of the year dozens of children were dead.

That’s when Kennedy reached out to Tamasese, the vaccine skeptic. Tamasese said that Kennedy helped assemble a team of doctors who advised him on the real cure, a vitamin C treatment, to save the kids of Samoa from the spread of measles. Meanwhile, one of the doctors on Kennedy’s team asked Tamasese to secure a vial of the measles vaccine and send it to the U.S. for testing.

Eventually, Samoa instituted a vaccine mandate, and the Covid-19 pandemic diverted Kennedy’s efforts in Samoa. Kennedy continues to claim that the measles were not responsible for the deaths of 82 children. “Nobody died in Samoa from measles,” Kennedy said in August. “They were dying from a bad vaccine.” …”

Disagree with “your ilk.”

MAGAts, Trumplicans, and average “conservatives” can’t spell “ilk;” much less use it in a sentence.
 


Why RFK Jr. Is Dangerous to Public Health​

He’s made millions from referring clients to trial lawyers, and he advocates mass tort litigation that would ruin the vaccine industry.​


“… Mr. Kennedy is scheduled to appear before the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday. Expect him to obfuscate about his ties to trial lawyers, anti-vaccine views, and support for sundry progressive causes. While presenting himself as a truth-teller and slayer of government corruption, he’s as slippery as Anthony Fauci.

… He says he merely wants to ensure that vaccines are safe and thoroughly studied—who doesn’t?—and that Americans have access to more information. In Mr. Kennedy’s case, this means opening the industry to lawsuits by the trial bar. …

But as HHS Secretary, Mr. Kennedy could take action to assist his trial-lawyer pals.

… The HHS Secretary can add or remove vaccines from the compensation program [National Vaccine Injury Compensation], as well as specify injuries eligible for compensation. Removing vaccines from the program would open up manufacturers to mass torts based on weak evidence, including animal studies and scattered human cases that purport to link injuries to the shots.

… Another danger is that Mr. Kennedy could turn over vaccine proprietary data in Food and Drug Administration filings to trial lawyers posing as vaccine safety advocates.

… The risk is high that Mr. Kennedy will use his power and pulpit at HHS to enrich his trial-lawyer friends at the expense of public health and medical innovation. It’s telling that Mr. Kennedy hasn’t agreed to stop taking payments from these allies in the Gardasil lawsuit. Senators would be wise to believe RFK Jr.’s career of spreading falsehoods rather than his confirmation conversions.“

——
Tying RJK Jr to MAGA boogeymen (Fauci — who they never mention or even allude to again after using his name as a MAGA jump scare) and more traditional Republican/WSJ enemies (trial lawyers) with this editorial.

I actually think the WSJ Editorial Board is right that RFK Jr could and likely would feed the trial bar to try to destroy the vaccine industry with litigation, BTW. But I also think they won’t care if RFK is replaced by an anti-vax candidate who also hates trial lawyers and would try to destroy vaccinations in this country by lies and regulations.
 
1. Sailor disobeys a lawful order to take a vaccine
2. Sailor is disciplined for disobeying lawful orders.
3. Hegseth says, "no, we need more of these people in the military and fewer people who obey orders."
 
Still think the nominees that will face stiffest opposition are the former Dems. Too easy for the GOP Senators to break ranks on those.
