  • This will nowhere, but I do love this. This is what EVERYONE of prominence should be doing as a response to any of his tantrums.

    Sue him, call for investigation(s), etc...

  • I thought when people actually took a closer look at some of these kinds of claims they ended up being debunked, or at least far more nuanced than some of the claims being made by the likes of RFK jr.

  • Do they even define the term?

    I'm assuming they are lumping in things like democratic socialism with Stalinism and Maoism.

    When is the resolution that denounces fascism?

  • Probably has a lot to do with their decades-long assault on teaching, too.

  • What is so infuriating about this is not only that this will of course lead to more death from completely preventable diseases thanks to the disruption of the use of the vaccines we already have...

    In addition to that, which is bad enough, the actions of this idiot with zero qualifications who is mounting an anti-scientific campaign is likely to radically delay or entirely disrupt future breakthroughs for many other things, including cancer, at least in this country.

    Perhaps most damningly, the younger Kennedy has elected to “wind down” the development of mRNA vaccines and cancel $500 million in research contracts because of his vaccine skepticism, particularly as it relates to COVID-19 vaccines.

    Along with its incredible efficacy at staving off further death from the coronavirus pandemic, researchers working with mRNA believe they may be close to achieving a monumental milestone: creating a universal cancer vaccine using the promising biotechnology.

    It is virtually impossible not to learn that kind of thing and not be pissed. It's like the stupidest people on the planet are colluding to sabotage everything good in the world.

    What they are doing is on the level of a war crime.

  • I think he was on Maher's show last year and his response for how he'd respond to threats from Pedonald was rather underwhelming.

    I mean, thank goodness we don't have some Confederate goober in there acting like one of the convict-in-chief's goons, but....still.

  • I hate this timeline so much. Pedonald is literally one of the worst people in the public eye since at least the 80s that we could have ever opted for "leadership". The guy has always been a vainglorious jackass and this should have been clear to any normal human being that took even a quick look at his past...

    Sigh.

  • If anyone should be getting hanged for anything, it's Pedonald for all of his many crimes, including plotting a coup while stoking an insurrection.

    But it's always projection with the conservatives.

  • Combine all the people he killed during COVID, cutting USAID, and RFK junior insanity and the death toll will be higher than American WWII casualties.

    Oh, wait, Pedonald already came pretty close, according to some estimates, with just the failed COVID response. Maybe him and his thugs are going for many multiples of that - it's at least 2x WWII deaths (405K) if you estimate about 300K for failed COVID response + 600K for USAID. The damage from RFK junior being an unqualified dumbass is probably hard to estimate just yet.

    Oh, and then there is this: https://www.openaccessgovernment.org/excess-deaths/103566/

    This was excess deaths per year, annually, before COVID. JFC, conservatism really is a death cult.

  • Between this and the USAID thing, Pedonald and his maladministration may be already on-track to kill more than they killed in his first failed term.

  • Yep.

    The same people all butt mad about people kneeling while a song played and a piece of cloth was displayed AT A GAME (not sure why all that performative "patriotism" is included in a game, but here we are, I guess) are now studiously ignoring Donvict stalking right past a flag lying on the ground at the WH....or in a "special container" according to the Confederate apparatchiks at the WH, but either way, it violates the flag code, which these people pretend to give so many fucks about.

    Until it turns out in a plot twist, no, they don't really give a fuck about the flag code at all, they are furious about others protesting black people being murdered by cop and pretend they aren't really mad about that...."don't bring politics into my sportsball that already has performative "patriotic" rituals inserted into it for some reason".

  • The other comparison the Professional Left podcast makes - and it's more apt than ever for the Confederates - is the notion of the Nazis burning their uniforms as they fled the battlefield and lost the war.

    These people are going to construct alt versions of the Republican Party, call it something else, most likely, but still run Republican Party candidates. Terms like "maga" and "America first" and "teabagger/tea party" are of course meaningless terms that can be made to stand for virtually anything.

  • Maga is a personality cult centered around an 80 year old man with obvious health issues.

    Part of me really does wonder what all these asshole cult members and/or those vying to build their own little cult after he's gone will do if he were to die in the WH while that stupid ballroom is still nothing but an AI-generated set of plans. What are they going to do with really egregiously out-of-touch and stupid things like Donvict's ballroom?

    They seem to have zero platform, really. It's just trying to own the libs, enrich Donvict, strip the country for parts, enshrine corporatism and coddle the already ridiculously rich.

  • I’ve been saying for a while that a few years after Trump dies, you won’t be able to find anyone who claims to have supported him and I think potentially this is the beginning of that.

    As the Professional Left keeps saying - "burn the lifeboats" - they just had an episode talking about how Marge seems to be the very first who is constructing that lifeboat. Just like all these fuckers did after W's fantastic flameout.

    Looks like Fuentes is also doing it, too - although it's the darker path as compared to the made-up teabagger (their original name)/ "tea party" movement, and it involves "graduating" from "maga" to "America first" and he has hats to sell everyone, just like Donvict did...

  • His base loves this stuff.

    I'm sure some of the chuds that are his biggest fans have it in their spank bank.

  • Anyone asking donnie about the status of it will now get the "quiet, piggy!" response.

  • Came here to say this, and I'm not on the dating scene at all, but you see it in just so many other contexts. It became so ridiculous even decades ago, reaching ludicrous speed under donnie. The Professional Left podcast, at least, constantly mocks the notion.

    When someone says they are an "independent", I think very few are genuine. I think many of them are just conservatives that are lying, some are possibly Libertarian who are also just lying, some may be very low-info, but thinks this makes them sound S-M-R-T, and then the very last group may possibly be actually independents.
