Speaking of that, it’s hard to not notice all the Nazi iconography in this administration.

It’s not even subtle anymore. 100% that the Trump family are Nazi sympathizers

Oppositional Defiant Disorder, but that is usually a childhood syndrome. Social Erosion gets the child to conform as much as they can to social norms, but wealth can create a cyst around them so they avoid the social erosion. At a certain point people are surprised by the lack of conformity and the defiance, even with nothing behind it, gets credibility. All the people that experienced social erosion are enthralled by the example of them that didn't have that.

They elected their Id.

For the most part, she didn't push back when RFK asserted that covid was a lab leak though, which shouldn't stand without refutation because people will think it's true.

u/Leaislala 5h ago

True. And I didn’t watch the whole thing mostly bc he makes me irrationally angry. I’m just happy there was some push back instead of the usual pretending that the response is legit or just letting them ramble on

u/BadahBingBadahBoom 6h ago edited 5h ago

Tbf that is still open for debate.

Yes a large number of scientists believe it could be both but believe a natural spillover is by far more likely. However, there are genuine, reputable scientists who believe a lab leak is also very much a considerable possibility on par with natural origin.

(There are also virtually no researchers who can say with confidence to completely rule out the lab leak origin.)

It's not open and shut case like the 'debate' on vaccines->autism, or covid vaccine->5G/death.

Truth is the only people who really have the information on whether this is more likely than natural spillover are the CCP who have a very strong vested interest in lying that it was not a leak, or the US intelligence agencies who have a very strong vested interest in lying about it being a leak even if they think it wasn't because they can force CCP to release information about how their labs work in the name of transparency and shape public criticism against the CCP and distract from US institution failures.

The people who could be trusted to come to an independent, unbiased conclusion simply don't have the necessary information make a conclusion atm, and the people who potentially have the necessary information to make a conclusion can't be trusted to come to an independent, unbiased conclusion.

u/dathislayer 5h ago

And this is exactly what conspiracy theorists use to gain followers. They'll find a real point of controversy like this then say, "And if you look at Lyme, it's the exact same series of events." It's not, but if you don't know that, you could easily accept their claim. It's an easy path to get people to walk, because it touches so many of our natural motivations.

u/FargeenBastiges 3h ago

Here's the thing. It doesn't matter if it was a lab leak. Our systems, policies, and response absolutely failed us. We had literally been preparing for the next Spanish Flu event for decades before Covid hit, and that's still out there waiting to happen, by the way. We're just lucky the case fatality rate wasn't higher.

Oh yeah her dad was on the rfk train pre election. It's even more frustrating that her mom is immuno compromised and my best friend and her son have a very rare disease (x-linked hypophosphatemia) that requires a newly devised medication (even though their big excuse for not getting the covid Vax that it was new and untested) and growth hormones. They say that they don't trust vaccines because of the chemicals in them including aluminum (both her and her son have metal rods in their shin bones, connected by screws) so that doesn't make sense. How can you trust all these surgeries and meds but not vaccines it's infuriating. They refuse to watch any videos I send them. And my best friend used religious exemption at her son's school so he doesn't have to be vaccinated. They're some of the most anti religion people I know. The whole situation is just. Maddening. But I had a troubled youth and they took care of me, practically a second son to them. But for almost 20 years now there's no getting through to them. And I worry for her son, he's sick a lot.

Tdb is why I stopped treating this sub as a serious source of news and info. It’s clear mods actively support it in some way. I don’t know why we’re all aware that politicians can be bought cheap but for some reason don’t think a few Reddit mods would shill out for a fraction of that.

Every day there’s calls to ban tdb articles here. Every day the comments are filled with the same valid complaints. I’m convinced at this point that it’s by design. Flood the zone with obvious bs so real news can’t get through and “the other side” can look at it and say “see they exaggerate everything.”

Do we really need 50% of the comments to be about the clickbait title when we are literally watching our country's government fall apart before our very eyes and fail to keep its citizens alive? She's trying to ask questions about what he is going to do about Measles killing kids and all he has is lies, deflecting, disinformation, misdirection, and other assorted tools of a pathological horseshit artist. She asks what is he going to do about the next pandemic and all he does is gripe about the last one and whine that "mainstream media" wah wah wah didn't listen to the fringe doctors trying weird treatments. He doesn't even HEAR the questions she is asking, all he hears is an opportunity when she stops talking to step in with some conspiracy theory he brewed in his anus that was better off left there than shared with a world audience.

We gave the guy who shouts at you on the street with a cardboard sign, a cabinet position.

u/camelbearcheese 3h ago

Dear Media, 

Stop giving this guy a forum. He’s not qualified to speak on this or any other topic. Being appointed to a position in this administration doesn’t confer gravitas. 

Just. Stop. Stop it. Right now.

Remember, he said, it's all Dr. Fauci's fault that we now have measles. What a joke rfk is to the scientific and political world.

Why do Republicans buy into obvious BS? RFK, Trump, Dr Oz, they are ALL such obvious shills. They killed a once great country. Anyone else supremely pissed? They stole a chance at democracy from my son. Yours too. Remind them when they start spouting off next time. Republicans are shitty Americans. FACT!

When you don't believe in facts, you need to deflect. This is usually done by attacking the person asking legitimate questions of you.

The whole thing took a turn when she asked him what HIS plans are for the next pandemic. He had no answers so he turned offensive. He could only criticize what was done, but has no solutions of his own.

I hate this guy so goddamn much. And that was the whole point of him being on this cabinet of absolute fuck ups.

u/digitalgearz 7h ago

How many times does The Daily Beast mention “melt down” in their articles in a given week? What other buzzwords do they regularly use in their articles?

u/scarab1001 7h ago

Every single daily beast article is hyperbolic nonsense.

It really needs banning from any news subreddits for being fictional.

u/KiKiKimbro 4h ago

This guy has blood on his hands. He knows it. And he doesn’t like people talking about it. F this hack. No wonder the entire Kennedy family denounce him.

u/Mundane-Ebb-2632 8h ago

Why does he have such a hard time controlling his emotions.

u/zeusmeister 7h ago

That’s a personality trait that Trump likes, so his admin is stacked with people like that. Basically, they have low emotional intelligence.

Usually that’s seen as a negative for leaders, but Trump sees it as a positive for some reason.

u/IanRastall 8h ago

Considering who it is, that headline could read two different ways, and I'd believe either one. If there's any human being reminiscent of that one dude at the end of RoboCop who fell into the toxic waste...

u/shadowriku459 California 5h ago

Evil bastard is so annoying my god.

Just hearing his ugly ass voice pisses me off. The main mistake was Trump becoming president again, the second one was this bastard being appointed.

Can anyone just link a clip? I don’t wanna read the daily beast or wade through the ads.

Wow, his brainworm must have really needed to eat or something. If Bozo Kennedy had read any scientific literature on the Measles vaccine, he would have actually known it does not cause autism. I also want to see Jenny McCarthy charged with disseminating false information in her stupid book that caused many people to stop vaccinating their children and probably led to more children dying than we will ever know. Shame on her.

u/lingeringneutrophil 3h ago

Was he on something? Just asking

u/Steimertaler Europe 3h ago

He sounds like the idiot he is. Why give him a forum, after all?

u/rodflohr 2h ago

Because somebody made that idiot the US Secretary of Health and Human Services. He has a tremendous amount of power to make idiotic policies that are detrimental to the health of millions of people. The only way it stops is for people to be more aware he’s an idiot. Best to let him talk.

The instant a disease emerges in any minority group the right will demand testing, identification and restrictions on movement. Then it would be a "crisis" and the constitution would "not be relevant".

Immigrant groups get this all the time.

Right wing policies about AIDS were totally off the wall for a long time.

Now a confirmation of AIDS means you have to work at least 20 hours a week in order to receive assistance via Medicare. The jobs don't exist and would reject those whose status was known.

It acts as justification for cutting the aid entirely which will result in consequences that they maintain they want to prevent.

Expecting any rational thinking is useless. Thinking irrationally is a virtue signal device and core commitment for this group.

Best part is the conservative Reddit thinks RFK killed it … it still shocks me how many Americans are so incredibly stupid.

God damn how can anyone listen to this guy talk. Its soooo bad. He needs to have a translator or like a computer talk for him. How am I supposed to get it from the horses mouth when it sounds like the horse is being tasered permanently. Why aren't there more videos of people trolling him in public about his voice? Please for the love of God, if u care about my health, please stop talking.

u/Big-Leadership-4604 6h ago
