He’s a toxic admixture of arrogance and ignorance. Oklahoma’s 50th ranked school system is on display everyday in the US Senate.

What did you think of the clips from that guy in NM?

I can't even listen to RFK talk. It's such a horrible sound without even taking into account the verbal diarrhea.

You could almost call the sound "vocal diarrhea".

Yeah, Tuberville is dumber, but doesn't really try to act smart.

I question reality all of the time now. Especially when people I have known my entire life talk to me about how great Trump is. The short answer I think is people mainlining insane right-wing propaganda for decades. But then you watch five seconds of that shit and go "How could anyone fall for this?" and you're back to questioning reality. I don't know, man.

Short answer? Our stupid human brains were ill-prepared by the ancestoral environment for 24/7 propaganda.

See the Asch conformity experiments as one of many examples. Most people will fall for it, given enough exposure.

I don’t know how anyone can listen to him speak and still take him seriously. Looking at him doesn’t help.

This is why turning it all off, and getting input from a variety of sources and avoiding that fucking algorithm is so important. Staying immune requires active measures.

I would say avoiding the algorithm is the biggest step. The only algorithmic social media I have is instagram and I check it like once every 3 days and it’s all just hiking and nature stuff.  Yes, I’m here all the time, but this is not algorithmic and I have full control over the content I choose to see and also engage with. Huge difference that i don’t think most people understand.

GenX dominated discussion boards no where in the same ballpark as algo driven social media. The evolution of these boards is a totally different thing.

You're not wrong but I do give him credit for defending the Capitol officer who shot Ashli Babbitt. I am less online of late so I haven't followed the current news surrounding the controversy with her being given military honors, etc to see if he still stands by his original statements regarding Jan. 6th. Even a stopped clock is right yada yada yada but she was no patriot and I'll give him credit for recognizing that.

SIAP, did any senator ask RFK about tanning beds and their danger for skin cancer? I know it’s minor stuff compared to COVID but his constant dark tan is akin to a HHS secretary smoking a cigarette during a hearing.

I don't know about the hearing questions regarding RFK Jr, but sucks to his assmar if he gets melanoma because mRNA vaccines have been one of the best advancements in treating the disease. Stupid, stupid, stupid if those get thrown out due to his incompetence and hucksterism (I think I saw something recently where one of the pharma companies was set to enter Phase 3 of trials and have thus far been promising results-wise).

This is why I disagree with Bernie Sanders, let those fuckers who voted for this lose their $150 billion in subsidies.   Why should we have to support dumb fucks who are trying to make our lives as miserable as their own?  They don't have a hospital?  Rub some dirt on it, get some boot straps, and tell them that "real merikans don't need no help or doctors."  When women complain they can't see a doc, tell them that frontier women used to have 30 kids, while helping with the herd, and they still had time to make all their clothes and cook/clean and care for the baby.  Lady boot straps.  

If you subscribe to the black swan theory of well life… then yes. Let these people and systems fail… the healing and rebuilding truly can’t happen until this happens.

Fuck all these GOP senators. They should have found their backbones 7 months ago. Convenient performative grandstanding. 

They confirmed someone to be in charge of public health who was on record as saying "There is no such thing as a safe and effective vaccine". And he repeated that thought at yesterday's hearing.

7 months?  They have been spineless for decades.  They are just more transparent about it.

From the files of "even broken clock is right twice a day", I do appreciate the outlying of dyes and chemicals and putting the screws to mondelez and kraft heinz and conagra to stop putting chemicals/poison into non-fresh food that half of the American population relies on.

Tylenol doesn't have dick to do with inflammation. It's not an NSAID like advil, aleve, etc.

This.

And also, from what I understand, legit studies that considered ALTERNATE causes (because correlation does not equal causation) found no link between prenatal tylenol usage and autism.

FFS, even shitheels like the Texas Supreme Court have made it clear that scientific opinions that do not eliminate reasonably likely alternate causes are not valid opinions at all.

These people are so desperate to conclude that:

(1) modern medicine in some way is responsible for autism, which totally wasn't a thing before vaccines (even though widespread vaccination pre-dates the significant increase in autism diagnoses) or tylenol or whatever....

That they steadfastly refuse to consider the possibility that:

(2) autism diagnoses began to rise when medicine really started taking it seriously, examining patients for it on ALL spots on the spectrum (that is, the vast majority of diagnoses of autism are on the milder end of the spectrum, so that most folks wouldn't even know the person is "autistic"), and diagnosing it.  Thus, there is no material increase in autism, there's just an increase in diagnoses for those reasons.

Nope.  It's a crusade, and it will not end until infidels (vaccines, tylenol) are dragged through the street in triumph.

He is 100% rubbing beef tallow on himself instead like several “wellness” influencers I’ve started to see.
