Trump picks RFK Jr. to oversee the Department of Health and Human Services

RFK Jr. said that a worm ate part of his brain. Does anyone know which part?

    You heard that Don T. Jr. may run for Gaetz’s seat?
  • chang, do drop in. How well do you know the woman that testified to the House Ethics Committee that she had sex with Mr. Gaetz when she was 17 years-old?
  • They only care that "their choice won". The nightmare that follows will be glossed over by blaming Dems for everything under the sun.

    Where is Kushner - too busy counting his Saudi "funds" from the last clown show?

    Good fodder for SNL. Wish I were a script writer … :)
  • Anyone know if RFK’s former running mate, (somebody) Shanahan steered her millions into the Trump campaign at the time they folded their tent and endorsed DT? She’s worth more than enough to purchase a cabinet appointment, at least in DT’s transactional world. From what I read, the RFK campaign was running on fumes until she came along. I might append, « Just saying, » which seems to imply that the speaker can take back at will whatever he’s just uttered. So, if I just started an unfounded rumor, I can avoid responsibility.

    AP -
    Kennedy’s daughter recalled the whale incident in a 2012 interview with Town and Country magazine, which recently resurfaced and was shared extensively on social media. Kathleen Kennedy said when she was 6 years old, her dad got word that a dead whale had washed ashore. He got a chainsaw, cut off the whale’s head and strapped it to the roof of their minivan for a five-hour drive home.

    “Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet,” Kathleen Kennedy recalls. “We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us.”

    Kennedy said he once retrieved a bear that was killed by a motorist and left it in New York’s Central Park with a bicycle on top, sparking a mystery that consumed the city a decade ago.

    Sure, but what could possibly go wrong if he was in charge of a small, inconsequential department like HHS? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • "...but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us.”
    Because daddy is a nutjob and a lousy driver?
    I became familiar with Cheryl Hines in her role as Tommy's wife in the "Rescue Me" series. I wonder how SHE'S reacting to Trump-world? I heard she was not pleased about her husband's decision to run for the Top Job.

    @Mona, it was a parasite worm, probably resulted from his consumption of rotten roadkills. He did lots of strange stuff that we would think they are outright dangerous. We have backpacked in many remote areas infected with tapeworms and other parasites. Thanks to the World Heath Organization practices, we treated water through ceramic filters and boiled them afterward.

    Thanks to vaccination, small pox and polio have been eradicated in US. Polio is still exist in some part of the world including Gaza.
  • Dr. Oz has entered the fray - he would oversee the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs.

    LOL - I’m waiting for Mr. Pillow too! (Mike Lindell) Also, I saw a cool Christmas Santa at Macy’s while in NY recently. Might “round-out” the team.

    Santa and Mrs. Claus in front of City Hall, "Honolulu Hale." Next in line for Sec. of Graft and Cronyism. Since they are such generous people.

    Naw - Their whole intent is to lift up the little people. Spread the wealth around. You don’t believe Musk was giving away those million dollar checks for the sole purpose of lining his own pockets? A solid bunch. As honest as the day is long.
  • A solid bunch indeed.

    Look, Mike Lindell is not a bad person just because he had a coke addiction, followed by a crack cocaine addiction. Did MyPillow recently run out of money and stopped paying people? Then again, Orange has filed for bankruptcy 7 times, and he is a stable genius - just ask him. Orange is also known for not paying his bills.

    Please put Lindell in charge of something. COMPLETE THE CIRCUS.

    Dr. Oz doesn't really fit into this lineup, though. He wouldn't hold up well in jail.
  • Orange is a stable genius, all right- what he can do with horseshit is really remarkable.

    We get the leaders we deserve. ---Bill Maher.
  • Well, a lot of people now have the leaders that they deserve. Not all of us, though.
  • Yes, I see what you mean. Yet he was elected, and will be inaugurated. The Founding Fathers surely figured that voters would not be feckless and spineless enough to elect (again!) a twice-impeached, convicted FELON. So, they did not disqualify criminals when putting together the Constitution, eh?

    We may soon live in a world where it’s perfectly OK to smoke pot on public streets, but illegal to buy a frozen pizza to take home. ”Bass-Ackwards” as they say.

    Cannabis is legal to possess/consume in WA state but smoking on public streets is illegal.
    This doesn't stop certain marijuana aficionados from sparkin' up on the sidewalks.
    To the powers that be: I'll give you my pizza when you take it from my cold, dead hands!
