I agree with what you say.

He even touts his Master of Arts degree.

How does that have any bearing on the topic?

He’s apparently using an “appeal to authority” argument.

I never list anything but my highest degree, and that only in the context of work when addressing contractors and suppliers.

Faust seems like a more ominous clue...

“He was given the job because he dropped his own run for President “

It could be more than that. In the last week or two, Trump mentioned that he and Kennedy had been meeting as long ago as 20 years re the autism problem. They might have a lot in common on health issues starting long ago.

I don ‘t think Trump is going to betray RFK, Jr. for doing exactly what he was selected to do.

At one time RFKjr ran with commie and global warming herd!
Something he’s never walked back.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out!

If the Dems can get the Wide Latina, the nBiologist, or the Spinster to resign before Oct. 1, 2025, that would be a starting point to schedule negotiations.

I like the president’s apparent response to Chuckie and Kareem’s demands:

“Shut down the government and I guess we’ll have to permanently fire thousands of federal employees. Kinda what DOGE wanted to do a few months ago.

So, go for it!”

“opens in a new tab “

Chuckies mind will open in a new tab as
it slowly dawns on him that the brier patch
will be just as good as the tar baby.

I thought we had been sand bagged last time, when we couldn't get a longer cr (or back to regular order) ....
.... is my face red now...

and just think ... we may get to do it again in a month.
I tip my hat to the guys in the back room.

Democrats should STFU….that’s what democrats should do. In the words of their “Magic Negro” (h/t Rush Limbaugh for playing that parody), “We Won”.

I like Michael Knowles suggestion on his podcast today ==> Paraphrasing: ‘Well fine, furlough and send home all the fed employees for the shutdown and they will not be called back ever.’

The dems will vote with the GOPe in hours LOL.

I agree, get rid of the department of HHs, removing its budget and the secretary can leave 🤣

I wonder how much money the author has received from the pharmaceutical industry in his lifetime?

SCOTUS just gave tacit approval of pocket rescissions. Democrats aren’t needed for cuts. Just good old fashion management skills by the executive will do. Go ahead, shut it down.
