Did no one tell RFK Jr that the secretary of HHS is hired for expertise in health, not national defense or finance? He should advocate for health, science & safety. Congress or the President can try to assess & balance other considerations, but that is not his job.
He is a political prostitute.

Welcome to the MAGA Hypocrite Club which includes, let's see. Oh that's right, all of them.

They try extra-hard to fit in & act the way they think regular folk act. It is so painfully awkward & they have no self-awareness of how pathetic they really are.
Nutcases all stuck onto Donald the Nutcase Magnet.
Until they're thrown on the trash heap which could happen pretty soon in Kash's case.

An analysis of the judgement by a class of clever 10 year olds would produce more cogent, coherent and articulate thoughts than the ramblings of Donald J Jackass.

All the dignity, sobriety, and professionalism one would expect from a high-ranking MAGA clown.
Let's wait and see if he yucks it up as hysterically in the prison exercise yard.

Some Jews twist Judaism just as MAGA "Christians" twist Christianity. Zealots of all religions can twist the essence of the religion to justify tribalism, intolerance, violence and cruelty.
Very sad.

Long range plan?? No way. Trump looks no farther than the end of his nose. That's why his every move ends in mayhem.

I think they're both good candidates with something to offer. It's a pity they're running against each other. The next Dem President should appoint the loser to a cabinet position. Don't waste talent and conviction.

A lot of the MAGAs were misfit, reject losers when they were younger, and now they feel like cool, hip, jet-setters.
But really they're just pampered parvenus with an inflated sense of their own importance.
Their egos will deflate fast enough in jail.

And why is an FBI director partying at a hockey game? Players might tolerate him there because they're polite and jubilant at having won, but having a moronic, corrupt MAGA stooge worm his way in would not be their preferred scenario.

That's MAGA charity all right. Threaten to militarily annex a foreign country, insult the inhabitants, their government and their history, then send aid they don't need, and didn't request so your Orange Master can score political points.
It's MAGA charity, not at all what Jesus envisaged.

Hate to disappoint you Mike but the only one who said that is you.
A lot of the asinine motives you attribute to others are products of your own paranoid imagination.
Criticizing Netanyahu's conduct of the war does not equate to anti-semitism.
Bernie Sanders, himself a Jew condemned the devastation.

As a Canadian, I say the game was rigged. The refs were paid off by American dark money to ignore US players' infractions. We will spend the next 10 years whining about it. Everyone associated with the Olympics are low IQ, lunatic losers.
Just kidding. We lose graciously not like some scum
Congrats

It's like being in a relationship with a flighty, emotional, bad-tempered bully with zero self-awareness or insight. All your friends ask; "Why don't you just leave the asshole?" Well, he has the best lawyers, controls the money & is using child custody as leverage even though he ignores them
Tough

Haughty Scotty can evade obvious questions with pseudo-intellectual gobbledygook. Now that Lutnick has been sidelined with Epstein ties/lies, Scotty is the best they've got.
Pretty sad.

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways" - Browning sonnet 43.
"How are you stupid, let me count the ways" - Trump's translator.
No Europeans had set foot in America in the time of ancient Rome.
In modern history, Italy was an enemy of the Allies in WWII.
Trump has never read a book.

Now there's a joke. Greenland & Denmark both have universal government-provided healthcare while millions of Americans are dying and/or going bankrupt because of the private, for-profit US system. Denmark should be sending hospital ships to the US.
Mocking replies from Greenland/Denmark are imminent

Herschel Walker had lots of skeletons in his closet, but, like a good MAGGOT, he just trotted out the Jesus stuff, and, presto, all is forgiven.
It is talking Christianity, but acting like Satan.

No wonder the MAGAs plead the 5th in every court case. They incriminate themselves every time they open their mouths.

Tucker, who used to be a MAGA darling, isn't even a real "journalist" anymore. The MAGA moronic mouthpieces are oh so fickle.

Yesterday it was 10% and today it's 50% higher, or in Trump's math 15,000% higher.
Capricious, impulsive, ill-considered, emotionally-based actions are exactly what the Constitution aimed to prevent.
Even a couple of Trump's hand-picked hacks got this one right.

The MAGA ladies need not fear a facial recognition app; their faces are filled, smoothed, lifted, inflated, paralyzed and painted beyond recognition. Only the evil eyes remain the same, but Satan is working on that as well.

The SOTU will be a tedious recitation of the usual Whining Insults Lies Boasts (WILB) by King WILBUR 0th.
I hope the Dems bring out their big guns to shoot down every lie, spin, exaggeration and fabrication.
Kick him while he's down and never let up. It is the Last Chance Saloon.

"YOU CAN'T MAKE ME STOP. YOU CAN'T MAKE ME STOP. I'M GONNA DO IT ANYWAY."
Is that;
1. an oppositional 3 year old?
2. an obnoxious, juvenile delinquent teenager?
3. the President of the world's richest country?
DING, DING, DING. If you guessed #3, you win a copy of "1984".

She is not actually a "moderate"; she is a "saveherassurate" who does whatever is politically expedient to save her own ass.

There are Republicans who sing Trump's praises. Those who are critical of Trump miraculously become RINO's even if they have held prominent positions in previous administrations & have been Republicans for much longer than Trump.
Every Republican with a shred of decency, conscience or morals is RINO

Nothing screams "peace prize" like spending vast sums of money on weapons of mass destruction. All while citizens die from want of health care, homelessness and domestic gun violence.
And evangelicals somehow believe this is compatible with the "faith" about which they crow.
Phony Christians.

Biden and Obama spent their time reading, studying, analyzing, discussing, researching and planning.
The MAGA mouthpieces talk, talk, talk, make videos, ads, photo-ops and boasts.
Nothing but marketing and endless bragging.
The result? Chaos.
