“I don’t think people should be taking medical advice from me,” Kennedy said.
Well then, the next questions should be, “what is your job title?” and “what exactly is it that you DO here?”
Strictly speaking his job is administrative - he’s not an expert on health nor does he really need to be. He’s a political appointee charged with advising the president and enacting the president’s policies. The career bureaucrats and scientists in his employ are the experts.
It is, however, expected that he would at least understand and listen to those teams on what the correct science is and provide feedback from those teams upward to the president to ensure that the president’s goals align with good public health policy.
But he’s a whackjob conspiracy theorist who has no idea what he’s doing.
Thinks people shouldn’t take medical advice from him,
…proceeds to give medical advice to people.
Sounds like the Joe Rogan Experience.
“No one listen to what I’m about to say, but eating roadkill possum cures chlamydia.”
But what if I don’t have Chlamydia
Then you haven’t joined RFK swimming in sewage yet!
You seem to have skipped step 1: Get chamydia. Please start the instructions from the top
Then eating roadside possum will cure you of not having something else. Also, have you considered swimming in sewerage?
Becomes head of health
So shut the fuck up about it, then.
For real, I’d respect the self-awareness if it wasn’t preceded by years of non-stop medical misinformation.
Honestly hoping he gets ball cancer.
People gotta remember this guy has been as desperate as Trump his whole life to be accepted as a legitimate member of elite society. You factor that in, you factor in that Trump also wanted to be a crime boss like his mob affiliates from the early part of his career, the motives become more clear, the outcomes become more predictable.
Also remember, some of this is engineered by both parties to distract us from the everyday realities we are facing.
Don’t take your eye off the prize. We want a centrally planned economy, we want universal healthcare, we want federally funded infrastructure projects, and we’re gonna take that money from the wealthy.
Beware “abundance” grifters…

Funny how one party seems to push this sort of shit way way more than another party.

I just want a functioning democracy, one with less fascists and corruption in it.
and we’re gonna take that money from the wealthy.
And how are you going to do that? Are you willing to take it by force? Because that’s the only way it’s going to happen. You have to take it by force.

No, we’ll take it by legislation and re-writing the tax code, but if they want to hold out, than yes, we’ll take it by force, and that will be a LOT worse for them.
WTF is wrong with you? Of course I’m not taking it personally, and obviously we wouldn’t be taking away billionaire’s fortunes under the current regime. There isn’t the Congressional votes to pass it, nor would HitlerPig sign it.
IF we manage to take our government back, AND remove the DINO Democrats who are nothing more than Republican-Lites, then we can hopefully have a Congress who will pass legislation authorizing a re-write of the 1974 Tax Code, which baked-in Trickle Down Economics, resulting in an annual $2 Trillion shift of revenue from the middle/working class to the wealthy.
Study: Inequality Robs $2.5 Trillion From U.S. Workers Each Year
‘We were shocked:’ RAND study uncovers massive income shift to the top 1%
And who would take it? The Democratic government, acting on behalf of the American people. It’s not done with guns (or shovels, WTF?), it’s done with computers, and law enforcement. Their bank accounts will be frozen and confiscated, and their properties and assets seized and sold at auction, or utilized by the government.
These mechanisms have always been available, the Dems just never used them, while the MAGAs never histate to exploit them as much as possible.
You personally? You’re going to take it by force?
So, when democracy is dismantled in the next year or two, and it’s no longer possible to “take it by legislation” or “re-write the tax code”, you personally are going to take it by force?
With what? Do you have a gun? What you are going to take it with? A shovel?
We want a centrally planned economy,
Lmao what? Is this a #JustLemmyThings meme?
BoTh SiDeS!
That’s interesting. Makes a bit of a connection to Putin and Russian current regime.
They are mostly children of party bureaucrats, with some mafia and special services seasoning added. That includes Putin himself, people painting him as ex-intelligence or his KGB past as something big miss the point, he had a minor role, he was a kid from a party family and he was sent to GDR because foreign postings were prestigious.
So they have this inferiority complex to make themselves seem real mafia and special services.
I wonder if Putin’s hate for Ukraine is a result of its organized crime not treating him as anything interesting. Same with Georgia, it was once the center of the organized crime in the ex-Soviet space, and Saakashvili didn’t end that as much as people think.
We want a centrally planned economy,
Oh, so you want real serfdom. Where you have a dossier passed between your employers as if you were a resource. Trade unions being state-controlled and acting in the interest of your employer. Nice.
we want universal healthcare,
Teeth being torn out without anesthetics, doctors prescribing donkey piss, people finding the rare good doctors via acquaintances and ties for important operations, because otherwise you might not survive that. Oh yes.
we want federally funded infrastructure projects,
Suppose that’s fine.
and we’re gonna take that money from the wealthy.
Just remember that the most important part of ownership is deciding how the money is used, and you are giving this to non-elected bureaucrats if you want central planning.
Nah, should think a bit more.
A hint - “Soviet system” doesn’t mean the USSR’s system, and it can be good if designed very carefully.
Your description of Universal Health Care is ridiculous, and instantly destroys any credibility you might have.
I think that’s a great idea, but maybe don’t be assigned in charge of health.
I mean, I already am ignoring the medical advice he gives me.
I sadly can’t ignore the medical advice he is giving the country as a whole.
I do.occasionally agree with RFK
He doesn’t want you to take medical advice from him, but he does want to dictate what kind of medical advice your actual doctor is legally allowed to give you.
Then resign your commission, wormbreath
Useful idiots; remember that.
The Heritage Foundation is the one enacting the policies. White supremacist billionaires with the idea that they know what’s best because.
Maybe the brain worms will save us after all… I was so confused about the brainworms, and finally I read an article that said that he licked His hand after sticking it in a dead deer’s mouth and got brain worms.
Not the type of guy I’d take advice on anything from… Well, that’s not true. Maybe were to o score some…Nose beers.
I honestly don’t know if the absurdity in your message is absurdist humor, or absurdist factual reality.
Life isn’t fun when you’re living in the world of an article from The Onion.
its more or less a distraction of the tariffs, and trumps own doge who is run by vought now.
Self aware wolf? That title made me laugh, and question what he’s doing in that position, to administer eugenics only?
Is that stuff on his face removable?
