So, in other words, Trump is going to do exactly what he told us he would do.
While being able to say that a majority of voters wanted it this way because they voted for him.
Trump didn’t lie. This was all out there for everyone to see.
Anything else is just denying the reality that a majority of Americans are sheep and don’t know what is good for them.
I don’t like that reality either, but here we are. It’s time for these people to lie in the bed of their own making.
Hold Trump voters and non voters accountable for the consequences of their actions and inaction. It’s the only way forward.
Technically, he said he has no knowledge of Project 2025. Fortunately for Republicans, Trump’s team is all over it.
He said Project 2025 was great back in 2022 before the backlash, it isn’t like he is consistent.

Oh for sure - and the nutters will be saying it’s ‘divine mandate’ since he survived those assassination attempts. We ain’t seen shit yet.
I saw that very claim elsewhere today. Something something “god didn’t make him turn his head at just the right moment for him to lose the election.”
Make no mistake, if Trump wants it, his supporters want it. I work with a bunch of morons. The country is in the hands of a cult.
My coworkers support political assassination, concentration camps for LGBT, forced Christianity. If Trump said it, they want it.
I am fully radicalized. Fuck this country.
Saying you are going to gut the CDC after a pandemic is peak shooting yourself in the face to spite the neighbors.
I would have figured losing 1-2 million Republicans would have helped in voting, but my Mexican neighbors decided they like Trump. Guess I’ll report them to ICE. The leopards must feed.
Guess I’ll report them to ICE.
How is that going to help anything? That just makes you an asshole.
It doesn’t work like that.
If they voted, then they’re citizens. Reporting citizens to ICE won’t do anything.
The Haitians were here legally and he campaigned on kicking them out. And if you think the supreme court is about to defend any monitory’s rights you haven’t been paying attention. He’s gone on record saying it’s okay if they screw up a few times deporting people
He gutted the Federal Pandemic Response Team in 2018.

He then took deliberate steps to inhibit pandemic response in 2020.
Dismantling the CDC and HHS is absolutely to be expected.
A lot of people are going to die because of this conspiracy theorist.
I think of someone very close to me who takes mediation for depression, medication that RFK thinks is bullshit, and medication that is regulated by the FDA.
She got a bad batch of something from a generic supplier and became dangerously suicidal. We were able to report this to the FDA and send them the medication so people wouldn’t die.
I can’t see how less staffing is going to make things better. We need more people on the ground so inspections are more regular and so deadly manufacturing problems are caught early.
I can’t see how less staffing is going to make things better.
Oh it makes things better alright. Better for the drug companies who now don’t have to deal with pesky things like “safety” and “consequences for killing people”.
Not only are a lot of people going to die, the EU is going to be on some “bad” list very soon, because free travel and any kind of “free” shipping won’t be possible anymore - and I’d say even some Asian, African and maybe even Australia are going to follow that, heck, maybe even Canada. Although I’m not sure if Canada is able to actually do that…
Huh? What context is this list set up in? I don’t really see how it relates to the medication issue.
Vaccines and medications help in stopping the spread of diseases. If the rest of the world can’t make sure the US plays after international rules, they can’t let anyone or anything from the US in
Snake oil is back on the menu, boys.
“Why do we have Fruit Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients and you go to Canada and it’s got two or three?”
Goddammit don’t make me agree with RFKJr. With that said I have a feeling we’d disagree on how to rectify it.
Anything’s possible with lies.
Here’s Canada’s label:

You really think any kellogs cereal has “two or three” ingredients, anywhere?

Which is basically the same. Biggest difference seems to be the food coloring.
If this is an actual problem, the solution is to use the FDA to make food healthier or have less junk ingredients or whatever. Getting rid of oversight isn’t going to do that. The FDA is what’s keeping rat turds from being the main ingredient
Even if it does, trading fewer additives for more outbreaks of easily preventable diseases is probably not going to be a net gain. I’m also curious how this kind of thing would be enforced if we also gut the departments.
