At least he knows the difference between a man and a woman. And he doesn't cross dress while stealing expensive luggage at the airports.

This appointment is grotesque, but brings meaningfully nearer my predictions of plague and death.

I can tell by what MAGA posts when you people are getting anxious.

Well, what can I say? Anxiety and dread are perfectly appropriate emotions given events of today.

Maybe I'm overreacting.

Every time someone posts about the "deep state", you know they haven't a clue wtf they're talking about.

Wanna fix the government?

Set age limits and term limits on all government employees including the Supreme Court justices.

70 should be the age of retirement, and 12 years should be the maximum amount of time anyone can serve in the government.

WASHINGTON: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s confirmation as Health and Human Services Secretary on Thursday received a rousing thumbs-up from some of his most prominent supporters, the National Alliance of Funeral Directors.

"For years, the funeral industry has suffered as a result of the Democratic Party's unabashed anti-death agenda," the group said in an official statement. "We are confident that Secretary Kennedy will make death great again."

But the confirmation drew a less enthusiastic reaction from one of Kennedy's detractors, the worm who spent several years feasting on his brain.

"As a worm, you'd expect me to be pro-death," the worm said. "But this is insane."

In a more muted comment, Dr. Mehmet Oz said, "Well, at least I won't be the biggest quack in the government."

#47 | Posted by Bluewaffles at 2025-02-13 04:17 PM

Exactly how did that work out for you guys in 2024?

Based on the final vote tally.

2024 was less of a win for Trump and more rejection by America for a Southeast Asian/ Jamaican Female President.

Trump really didn't gain much in terms of the popular vote compared to 2020.

Republicans are lucky, had the Dems run a basic white guy, he would have won.
