Trump Cabinet

Guy Chamberlin said:
Also, for every good point RFK Jr. brings up, he drags in some of the laziest and most discredited research you can find. Some s#!t is just entirely made up. He's lost his mind, and the people who know him best feel sorry for him. But that's the path you take if you want to jump on the Crazy Train.

Can you cite some examples of "laziest and most discredited research"?

I would love to have an informative discussion on the topic

 
Seems like sexual abuse is one of the traits needed to get into the trump cabinet.  Trump can't be the only abuser in the cabinet room.  :facepalm:

The only person Eliza Cooney told what happened was her mom.

Then Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ran for president.

Cooney knew then she had to speak. So, this summer, she went public with her story. About how Kennedy, a man closer to her father’s age really, groped her when she worked as a live-in nanny for his family. She was 23 years old.

“I know that there are hardworking people who don’t have skeletons in their closet,” Cooney said in an exclusive interview with USA TODAY. “And I wish we were electing people with fewer skeletons in their closet.”
 

Kennedy abandoned his bid for president when his candidacy failed to gain any traction and threw his support to Republican Donald Trump, who was elected on Nov. 5. Trump rewarded Kennedy by nominating him to become secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.

 

Kennedy’s nomination for a prominent position in Trump’s administration has put a spotlight back on Cooney’s allegations of sexual abuse. Three other men Trump has nominated to high-level jobs in his administration − Elon Musk, Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth − also have faced accusations of sexual misconduct, raising questions about their past and complicating their pathway to government service.

I'm lazy and don't want to go back and site it, but I was told that these folks were not the future of the Republican party. People like Gaetz and MTG were just loud empty cans that aren't heading any subcommittees. They are not being put in places of any true authority. No one is taking them seriously and thus should just be ignored. I'm hoping for the best for this country, but man it's hard to keep that optimism up with picks like these.

I mean, I think making her chair basically admits this entire venture is just performative fiscal conservative LARPing. No one is putting MTG in charge of anything of consequence and expecting good results.

i think the whole notion that there’s rampant waste/fraud/abuse that can easily be snuffed out to achieve massive governmental savings is a farce but I understand how it sells extremely well to a predominantly right-wing audience.

In order to achieve real savings you’re going to have to start cutting to the bone on programs like Medicare/Social Security or military projects benefitting individual states, which is a great way to piss off the electorate and get absolutely crushed in elections.

So can’t wait to see what our wealthy meme lord brain trust suggests!

Well, we have about $100billion in CMS improper payments last year.  Plus another $153 billion improper payments elsewhere in Gov 👍

not sure if that affects too many bones as you say, but seems like a good place to start.

they got the house ethics report buried which was the real goal for announcing his appointment.   he can always come back when more yes men are in place if trump wants him.

Gaetz is now out of Congress, and he was such a leader amongst his peers that he had to quit his AG nomination because his peers said “thanks but no thanks”  

The MTG subcommittee heading is quite unfortunate however as she should follow Gaetz out of Congress too 

 
Yoo hoo! Notably the worst selection. He probably did it. Was he from Florida? I heard DeSantis can appoint if so.

Now, if congress can jettison Talib, Omar, MGT and a couple others it will be a good day.

Is he for sure??  He won re-election.  He said he wasn't going to serve in the next congress but not that he is no longer the AG nominee- I think all former statements are off the table.  The other question is:  Will DeSantis select him to take Rubio's senate seat??

He resigned.  I assume that means he’s out.
