Amid the ongoing shutdown, the HHS secretary wiped out entire offices that investigate disease outbreaks, manage infectious disease responses and collect data.

    Great, who is going to tell me that kids need to get infected with airborne AIDS in order to protect the rich now?

    Everyday these fucking assholes. That’s why I stopped speculating what else fucking damage they would do – stop giving the bastards ideas.

    They need to be stopped completely.

      I’ve been saying this for many many years now. Republicans are simply too far right wing to engage in anything but total annihilation with. They’ve gotta go. I want to put them to work rebuilding society; they need to physically build public hospitals, colleges, parks, infrastructure, etc.

        it must be because in the case of RFK Jr he wouldn’t really care about race; he’d just want anyone with proper medical education gone so he wouldn’t have to hear the phrase “that’s the biggest crock of shit I’ve heard” every day.

        It’s 30% satire. Some of the white ones were terrible Lefties that have been to a college and so they didn’t re-hire ALL of them.

    Time for the sane states to create a “Hub of Pathological Management and Deterence” as a replacement lol. Travelers from non-member states get quarrantined.

    RFK is on track to have one of the highest kill counts for a powerful US figure in the first quarter of the 21st century. That is an intimidating sentence and yet it seems to be undeniably true, I don’t see how we can swerve from the path of mass amounts of unnecessary death in the US from disease. Shame on us.

        RFK is on track to do a lot of damage, but he has some stiff competition.

        Yes but RFK genuinely terrifies me more than the competition, he is a super-critical confluence of stupidity, confidence and undisguised fascism.

        I am ADHD, RFK is intent on killing people like me off through his policy, that isn’t an exaggeration and he is likely to succeed by the look of things. The centrist position in the US is that people like me have had it coming, sooooo…

    I remember the time when every weekend there was good news like NASA launching a new space station component on the space shuttle. They did have bad news like the shuttle blowing up and the NASDAQ dropping 10 points on the same day. But usually news had puppies being adopted and new vaccines or a new animal discovered.

    Now its all about what I can’t do anymore starting this week. Like bikes are not allowed anymore. Or you can’t kiss in public or below the chin. Can’t wear colored shirts or shorts but pants may still be blue. If you’re lucky you could be illegal this week too!

      As a kid I remember Tom Brokaw droning on about the collapsed soviet union and eventually Kuwait but all that bad news was offshore, domestic news was all about how great 3Q was going to be and how the malls and airports would be swamped for Christmas, great movies in theaters, optimism. I had no idea it was the last time I’d experience it.

    Another reason not to visit the US. They can’t prevent disease and aren’t even trying. All they want is your money.

    I get that every member of this admin has the intention of destroying America, but what do they think happens when they succeed. They think they gunna be the madmax style warlords? Like once their accumulated wealth is worthless do they think they are ruthless enough to take that mantle? I look forward to some pretty wild news of their demise.

      They think they won’t be affected personally and therefore don’t care. Most will take advantage and prosper.

      They’ll enjoy the beautiful beaches in Saudi Arabia, Maldives, Curacao… please do not worry for them, they’ll be alright, always.

      That’s the beauty of being a psychopath. /s

      Very sadly I think the answer is essentially yes. They think their wealth is a sign of their inherent superiority over people that will be around after the government collapses. They think that they’ll be able to just turn the lights off and turn on the fascist regime that has them at the seat of power because they don’t understand or simply don’t believe in the complex scaffolding that keeps our current society up.

        Ironic that a government overthrow led by a shadow cabal of tech billionaires basically comes down to “they plan on turning it off and on again”
