Posted this about him on a different thread.

O'Neill will be the first person in the 80+ year history to head the CDC who is not a doctor. He has one of those elitist masters degrees in humanities from the University of Chicago (Obama liked that school) with a background working in hedge funds. Aren't those things the right are always crying about?
He has no qualifications that should make one believe he's an appropriate pick for this role, not even if it is only an interim stint. He favors deregulation of the pharmaceutical industry and thinks patients should be free to take pharmaceuticals at their own risk. Wants to leave determining efficacy up to the free market. Putting it another way, he's an advocate for snake oil salesmen.

AI can't even get Taco Bell orders correct but yeah, let's trust our healthcare decisions to the technology.

MAGATS hate the Constitution

The sign says "TRUMPSTEIN ----- KIDS JUST LIKE YOURS. RELEASE THE EVIDENCE"

Grow up and act like adults.

Bill, grown ups don't blindly trust media outlets that paid 3/4 of a BILLION dollars and fired their top ratings getter for spreading election lies. The quote you failed to attribute was very clearly a lie to anyone who has ever paid any attention to Jerome Powell, tariffs or knows the first thing about basic economics. You can't raise costs 20% or more on companies and not expect them to pass at least some of that expense on to consumers. I would hope that is not a foreign concept to you since that has been at the foundation of the right's opposition to everything from environmental regulations to mandatory parental leave and raising minimum wage for several decades at this point.

I feel that the adult thing to do would be to stop trusting Fox and give some consideration to what other lies you have blindly accepted from them.

Ernst mistake was telling voters how GOP politicians actually feel about them. Hopefully Iowa voters will be smart enough to recognize that wasn't just her view when she made that statement.

I overlooked the link to fox so now I know you use fake news sources.
The liar at Fox says Powell claimed that "At most, tariffs create a one-time adjustment in prices, not the kind of runaway spiral that demands punishing rate hikes."

While he did say that a reasonable argument can be made that "the effects will be relatively short lived"a one-time shift in the price level," he went on to say that "It is also possible, however, that the upward pressure on prices from tariffs could spur a more lasting inflation dynamic"

The fox article is only covering the first part of the statement and leaves the next part out because Fox is fake news. You should feel embarrassed for posting such garbage.

finally " and grudgingly " admitted what the Trump team has been saying all along: tariffs don't fuel inflation.

You're either lying, got that info from a fake news sources or you lack the ability to understand what he said because that is 100% not what he said.

I always thought Hunger Games was a work of fiction but I'm starting to think that perhaps Suzanne Collins is a time traveler trying to warn us.

i almost forgot about the sad display where Trump and those around him either stared at the phones or took a nap as the band trolled Trump by playing a song that is about, as the creator of it said, "extreme distrust for executive authority" and which includes lyrics referencing draft dodgers and tax cheats, both of which describes Trump.

They are trumping up the charges against everyone too using federal law.

Yep and they are making themselves look foolish and wasting money since grand juries are telling them that's not going to fly.

US second quarter GDP growth jumps up to 3.3% to beat expectations.
That's the best quarter since third quarter 2023.
Remember how Democrats said President Trump's tariffs would cause a recession?

Remember how Trump made it clear he will fire anyone who publish numbers that he views as less than positive?
If you believe any numbers the Trump administration published them you are a moron.

Trump has launched a Russian inspired information attack against a long-term ally. He has previously said the US will take control of Greenland "one way or another." He's bordering on breaking a treaty and Congress should intervene right now before he launches a military invasion into territory controlled by a NATO ally.

Also, you may recall, in 2021 the guard was deployed in DC from Jan 2021 through May 2021.

Yes and I also recall the mayor requesting activation of the Guard at that time. Is there some sort of point you were trying to make?

why is DOGE copying the SSA data *anywhere*?

Hypothetically speaking, let's say I was building an AI and I also happened to be the richest person alive and an amoral sociopath who hold citizenship from multiple countries and no particular loyalty to any of them or to anyone. I might feel compelled to feed as much data into my AI as possible. I might believe that the type of info stored in government databases, especially that of the SSA, would give the AI an huge advantage over competing products while giving me info I could use against anyone who might try to challenge my authority and position as the richest person alive.

How many extra arrests has that $1M per day bought us? How many crimes have been stopped? I'm guessing 0 since the Guard isn't actually doing anything except some trash pickup and gardening.

I'm sure the House Oversight Committee will soon be launching an investigation into the business activities of the Biondi family since there's at least as much evidence that they are involved in a bribery scheme as there was when they launched their investigation against the Biden family.

It is strange, because from J6 they charged an insurrectionist for throwing a potato chip bag

Sounds like you are telling us that the Trump administration must have replaced effective lawyers that staffed the office under Biden with a bunch of incompetent fools.
You'd better be careful with statements like or you'll lose your job at the troll farm.

Yeah, but have you had Subway lately? Woof...

Trump knows how to fix it. Bring back Jared. There's nothing that Trump can't improve by adding either sex offenders or groomers to the mix. Presidential fitness council needed Lawrence Taylor. He's calling on the MLB Hall of fame to let Pete Rose and Roger Clemens in. Federal work release program is so much better now that Ghislaine Maxwell is approved to participate.

The white house will invoke executive privilege and drag this out in the courts for years to come.

Ultimately Republicans will just start claiming it was the Democrats who passed the bill and that Biden is secretly still President and signed it. MAGATS will accept that as the truth.

Probably resistance from the common citizen.
They know it's garbage.

I would prefer to think that the grand jury simply acted in a non-political manner and recognized that tossing a sandwich at someone doesn't rise to the level of attempting to inflict corporal injury upon another.

This is what happens when you put partisan hacks like Jeanine Pirro and Kash Patel in positions of authority. They don't care about the law or justice. They are embarrassments to everyone except the cult members.
