Vaccines aren't a danger to children. Donald Trump is.

Did Sen Cassidy or did not Sen Cassidy vote to confirm Sec Kennedy?

It is a simple, yes or no question.

Once he answers that question, we can move forward from the health quagmire where we are.

If you're attempting to rehabilitate your self-sabotaged reputation, Bill, just fuhgedaboudit, okay? That ship done sailed. Soon, you will be gone from the Senate and largely forgotten - just another loser who bent the knee to Trump, got ensh#ttified and tossed aside. Buh-bye.

Completely forgotten.

But, since he can take his money with him, the fact that he was a weak man and loathesome hypocrite will never trouble him.

ZED - Betcha Cassidy thinks that squeak he let out will be remembered as a roar. That's how up their own fundaments most pols are.

LOL.
Trump can't be honest about himself, the prices we all face, and his disaster of a war, OR his relations with other countries.
He can't be honest about anything. That Sociopath thing, y'know.

Trumpy doesn't have an honest bone in his body.

He has chosen the dishonest and dishonorable path.

And the path he has chosen will not end well for him.

Or us. (We chose him)
