Wait, so Trump was actually serious about this, and not just baiting him for election support? Like, seriously?
The fact that will even entertain this and other anti-scientific consensus bullshit in the conversation is the poison in the well.
I believe you can get brain worms from raw milk.
experts say it's dangerous
Then just get rid of them. Simple.
Newspapers need to just call RFK jr what he is - a child killer. Forget about this raw milk stuff and lay out the direct harm he has caused including deaths of babies from his vaccine misinformation.
He's about to have the authority to effectively ban vaccines.
Yeah but y'know, you gotta have one very last last resort abortion method.
/s lol
They never will. Especially now that we've elected an authoritarian dictator who is hellbent on exacting retribution on anyone who may have slighted him.
And that includes literally just reporting objective reality. They might jail or execute one or two journalists to send a message, but they'll fall in line.
We should stop posting about Trump and his group of extraordinary morons.
The news cycle thrives on Trump, as every decision he makes manages to anger half the population, while the other half cheers him on simply to annoy liberals and progressives. This dynamic generates more clicks and ad revenue for news outlets, allowing Trump to continue making foolish decisions just to remain in the spotlight.
The only way to change this is to stop giving him space in the news.
This should have happened after the 2020 election, but the news thrives on clicks and outrage, so they keep giving him attention and fucked us all for the sweet sweet revenue.
We are past this though. I remember screaming this into the air at the radio listening to Jack Speer on NPR in 2016. He was going on and on about the awful things Trump was saying and how we shouldn't be hearing this. I screamed then why the fuck do you keep repeating it Jack, why?!? I blame the media 100% for his election in 2016, all that free publicity. 2024 though...I really don't have any answers...
Ignoring a problem won't make it go away.
Repeating the problem wont make it go away either.
Yet here we are after Trump's awful first presidency and after he tried to overthrow the government. It’s all because we are giving him more attention than he deserves.
How do you fail to ask yourself why it was pasteurized in the first place?
Yeah but we're talking about stupid people. In their brains they're probably convinced that milk is not heat treated to kill pathogens but because of government population control or something.
This is a situation where we let Darwinism take it's course. The people who are stupid enough to listen to this are going to drink it, get sick, and then wonder what happened. Maybe I'm more negative than usual, but fuck em. Let them fuck themselves.
They're going to kill out kids, not just their kids and themselves. RFK Jr is a plague rat.
If they allow non-prescription antibiotic use too, and gut Federal law requiring quarantine, that's a great way to get resistant strains of tuberculosis.
Go ahead. Let your anti science cultists get themselves sick. I don't fucking care anymore.
It feels like we're living in the middle of one of those cultist documentaries, where 29 years from now the stupid fucks that survive are going to be on camera going "I know it sounds weird, but it was really compelling at the time". Except this cult doesn't even have fun drug fueled orgies.
He's going to be in a position where he may actually be able to ban pasteurized milk, vaccines, and more.
This is the most dangerous political appointment in US history.
Gatez was involved in drug fueled child prostitution, wasn't he?
I've seen a documentary about the Jan 6th timeline and one insurrectionist said this in an interview. He couldn't think anymore and everything about it seemed like the best thing since the invention of toast. He allegedly saw his errors in hindsight. I'm more than convinced he is back in the cult. Can't fix stupid.
This is the dumbest shit I swear to god. Fuck this timeline already.
Trump wants the population to be closer to 100 million. He said that before the start of one of his press conferences to a journalist ... something to the effect that "we could use 2/3 less of all of you."
He is willing to kill off a lot of us to make his life easier. The USA elected a right wing Pol Pot.
And if you kill off brown people, you solve their demographic "issue" (it's not actually an issue, they're just racists). Two birds with one stone.
