They’re wrong about that. It’s not a good excuse. It’s a bad excuse.

This could be good news for the “Nihilistic Violent Extremists” (better known as trans people) living in blue states.

More like the illusion of what America claimed to be is gone. It’s never really been what it claimed to be, but the mask is fully off now because Trump is incapable of subtlety.

He is taking it further away from that ideal too, but the ideal has never been remotely close to real.

Continuing in Charlie’s legacy.

There may very well be a correlation, but the causation probably runs the other way if so. That is - autism may increase the use of painkiller use in pregnancy. Since all evidence points to autism being genetic.

I would trace it back to September 11, 2001 at least. Specifically, the highly authoritarian response to that. There’s a direct line from what the US government started doing then to what they’re doing now.

The media hasn’t “caved”. Corporate media’s only principle is more money and power for the elites that own it, and they’re acting on that as always.

It’s certainly better than some statements I have seen, but it ignores the commonplace violence inflicted on non-elites every day.

He renamed the department that he’s deploying to the Department of War, because he’s incapable of being subtle.

What it makes me inclined to do is never use the drive-thru, personally.

You know what would reduce mistakes and speed up orders? Replacing the god-awful audio equipment that every drive thru seems to use. It wouldn’t cost much to install good audio equipment and it would quickly pay for itself in time savings since people could hear each other more clearly.

Classic passive voice headline.

So he’s resigning from his position, right?

I don’t think that RFK Jr. is personally a fascist. He’s in league with fascists, which is the main reason why I am still heavily against the autism registry.

I think that RFK Jr. is extremely mentally ill and deluded. I think he is probably a true believer in what he says, it’s just that the stuff he believes is batshit insane (and can do a lot of damage because of that).

This whole situation just makes me laugh because in order to do eugenics with that database, RFK would have to believe that autism is genetic - which it is, but which he doesn’t believe.

I still don’t want the Trump administration to have an autism registry, but it’s such a farce that the guy who doesn’t believe autism is genetic is the guy doing it.

Anyone who knows anything knew that it was blatantly unethical from the start.

Honestly, I’d believe that they probably never fed them antibiotics on purpose, and that they were exposed to antibiotics via their food and/or water supply.

He had me at “Return the dignity of work”.

I don’t think that he has any intention to do that, but that would certainly go a long way towards getting people to work like he wants.

I blame that one on the physical design. Probably mandated by Musk. No one who knows about software would make the decision to require the use of software to be able to exit the car. :P
