That's the way to do it!

He'll never be able to attract the cult following Trump has. His every utterance is flat footed, his lies are laughably obvious, his charisma is in the sub-basement. But I do wonder what his feelings are about Stephen Miller, Pam Bondi and RFK, Jr. Hopefully, he'd jettison them.

No vetting, no training, no consequences for infractions. At first this might look like inept leadership, which it is. But at bottom it's brutality for its own sake, to create fear. There are more repercussions for recording the actions of these masked secret police than for any crimes they commit.

They don't even know how things ended for the huge number of sycophants who worked to serve Trump's needs in his first term. Or if they know, they think they're so special that he'll be on their side forever.

Love it! "Let's face it; you can't Torquemada anything!" Thanks so much; it's a keeper!

Never put people in charge of a thing they absolutely could not do themselves.

Perhaps if the party in control of the House ended their vacation and came back to work--since we're paying them, and at present the government is shut down--people might feel differently.

And we can't forget two SCOTUS justices.

Vought wants to return to the Middle Ages: wealthy nobles & the clergy rule according to (their own) religious principles, & the rest of the population are serfs, living short, brutal lives, until exhaustion or disease takes them. Education is the sole purview of the elite. He's Torquemada.

More than any others, the four doctors KNEW the danger in which RFK, Jr. would put the country. It would only have taken ONE of them to put a halt to that nomination. But they are pathetic, gutless, immoral losers, and allowing them to keep their medical licenses degrades the profession.

To the “doctors” in the GOP Senate: you could have prevented this deranged eugenicist from being confirmed, but you chose loyalty to Trump over your oaths. Perpetual shame.

He and his family need to go into hiding. I wouldn't give a farthing for his safety in this vengeful police state, not if they lose their case wrongfully detaining him and using him as an example of their ability to claim anyone is a criminal just on their say-so.

Didn't know that.

I can see that from the photo. What does this have to do with my comment?

Agreed. Perhaps I'm looking at it through the lens of age: this man had faults but tried hard his whole life to serve others; he suffered immeasurable personal losses & now he's old & ill. I'm guessing snide commenters, who cannot see beyond political issues, are probably much younger. Live & learn.

Mike Johnson ranks very high on the list of people who beat their breasts about their faith and pray ostentatiously in public whose ACTS are utterly unchristian. His interest is solely in protecting Trump and his own power.

Very, very sad to read the loathing for President Biden in many of the comments. What kind of people use a man's illness to spit venom? I fear that the toxicity of the Trumpification of our country has infected many people who might otherwise have shown some decency.

Watching these wife beaters indulging their sadistic impulses on our dime fills me with unspeakable rage.

I honestly don't think Junkie Wormbrain wants to ban covid vaccines. What he wants is to make them unavailable or unaffordable for the serfs in order to thin the herd. He wants proper medical treatment and prevention to only be available to the wealthy and well-connected.

Health for me, but not for thee. What eugenicists like RFK,Jr. and selfish pigs like Trump don't seem to recognize is that if you kill off a chunk of the population giving every privilege and benefit to those at the very top, there'll soon be no one left to do the work.

Eileen Schuyler @eschuyler.bsky.social · 1d

He should get in line behind the physicians in the Senate who voted to confirm RFK, Jr.

The only way these losers feel like real men is to throw women onto the pavement, kick away ladders so roofers have to jump, pepper spray pastors, smash car windows with a baby inside, ransack apartments, kidnap parents leaving children behind, zip tie toddlers, menace schoolyards & murder dogs.

She lied with the air of someone who is certain there will never be a price to pay for her lies. And her arrogance spoke volumes: "You pathetic little nothing...I'm in charge here. How DARE you question me!"
