I hope one of the Democratic senators realizes that any alternative will beway worse ..... AND without redeeming qualities

@infiniteErgodicity I really don't want to come off as confrontational when I say this. But I must ask, as an honest reality check.

Supposing you think RFK is not qualified, do you think that the threat of playing dirtier later justifies complying now?

@Blomfilter The fact that you can't even realize this post shows RFK Jr as an embarrassment is very telling.

"Are you going to just be a yes-man to Trump?"
"I'm going to do what Trump wants." (an indirect way of admitting that he is, indeed, a yes-man to Trump.)

@Gameknight "President Trump has asked me to end the chronic disease epidemic" ... I'll support that!

@Blomfilter How dare you, puppet!

Caroline Kennedy statement/video is pretty brutal.

@jb456 I don't really understand that... While I take her at her word as someone who grew up with him, some of the "evidence" she used is just bad:
1. It's common to blend baby mice/chickens to feed young or injured hawks.
2.The Kennedy family has had drug problems for generations, and RFK jr. was addicted to heroin - is she blaming him for that, or saying he encouraged other members of the family to partake?

Gottlieb maintained that there is “skepticism in the Republican caucus [on RFK Jr.’s nomination], more than the press is reporting right now.”

@Siebe The press also isn't reporting that the GOP Conference is full of Trump cucks.

Right now, I think the only actual feasible hurdle to his confirmation is his pro-abortion stance — and even then I haven't seen a single actual Republican in power voice concern suggesting they wouldn't vote for him.

There are plenty of reasons Republicans could justify denying him the position. And if they don't want him in HHS, why would they vote for a recess so Trump can make a recess appointment?

He'd have to both be nominated (already kinda iffy) AND THEN either get confirmed by the Senate (practically impossible), or have Trump put him in as acting (fairly unlikely)

@Marnix No longer fully confident there are enough people willing to stop him. My mother's all in on him. I think he's going through.
