As a physician, there couldn’t be a worse choice for this position. He is the infection, the invasive disease. It’s all about eugenics, the superior race, survival of the fittest, the Aryan race, etc. Everything about him should be disqualifying, he is wrong about nearly everything, spreads misinformation whoever it suits his agenda and we know how this ends. He is dangerous, a threat to us all and must be removed now.

I absolutely agree with you, Mike. Eliminating "brown culture" (just like eliminating Jewish culture by Germany), establishing the national guard in democratic cities, destroying CDC, the tariff debacle, firing important and necessary top military personnel from the Pentagon, firing Federal Reserve board members, covering up the Epstein files, and frankly, killing off the minority and middle class, etc is designed by this regime to destroy democracy! DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN! FIGHT! PROTEST!

As a physician I’m sure you heard his testimony. Maybe you need to look back at how the medical community lost track of protecting the health of everyone especially our children. The problem was not created over the last 8 months but instead over the last decade or more. Instead of placing blame on rfk,who up until Covid,was the darling of the progressives. I think he made it perfectly clear that the health of america has been ignored y you and the rest of the medical community. Instead of placing blame how about creating solutions.

Yeah, I have a brother like you who “does his homework” as well…as you say. He is so addicted to the far right wing websites that even after convincing him three times that his information is made up, and not reality, he still keeps going back for more. Like him, you are afraid to see the truth. It’s the same reaction that people who have been scammed always have. You simply don’t want to believe that you have been scammed by Trump and his followers.

Trump claims zero inflation. No research is needed for that. Anybody who shops for food can tell you inflation is real and significant. The rest are just in denial. Good luck with that!

Forgive me, but I think they need to suffer a tragedy brought on by this administration to wake them up. I mean all the health stuff, high prices and going higher, immigration and going after women to control their bodies and now they are attacking voting and don't want women to have the vote. I will be damned if they take my vote away. At least they won't here but I feel for the people who live in red states that didn't vote for this hell. The mass shooting cause they don't want to upset the gun lobby. Nice to know their priorities are straight. Kids lives come last. Thoughts and prayers are going to stop these shootings. Get the automatic weapons out of the hands of civilians and leave it to police and military where they belong.

They already had a tragedy! Most of the harm of COVID happened while Trump was President and everyone seems to have forgotten that. Trump was the COVID president.

Trump will be remembered as the COVID president, too, unless he succeeds in his efforts to co-opt history. Trump was the president of: overflowing morgues, calling COVID a hoax, stranded cruise ships, longest food bank lineups in generations, telling people to ingest bleach or disinfectant, giving buddies with brand new LLCs huge PPE contracts, refusing to send needed supplies to states whose governors had offended him, ordering meat packers (and others) back to work despite booming COVID rates, holding huge death rallies during a pandemic, refusing to wear a mask on national TV, complaining that too much testing was making him look bad, pushing ivermectin because of his own connections, and eventually, Trump was President of the worst per capita death rate from COVID in the developed world.

Also, am I the only person who noticed that Trump seemed like he was gonna take COVID seriously right up until headlines started breaking about COVIDs disproportionate impact on Black and Brown people? Seems like as soon as it became clear that certain demographics suffered higher death rates than other demographics, Trump was all about reopening the economy and getting kids back to school. It doesn't even feel like he was subtle about it.

Catherine Ognissanti's avatar

He started out singing Dr. Fauci's praises and getting operation warp speed to get the vaccine out and then he tried to brush it off, saying it was the China virus and that we should put bleach in our veins. Then he pushed hydrochloroquine which killed about 17,000 people. It seems like Trump voters forgot all the harm he caused during the first term. He has put our economy in the toilet, prices so high some have to decide about medication over food. Now the vaccine nightmare that it causes all these diseases, which is a crock. I don't understand his voters. I certainly didn't vote for him at all the 3 times he ran. All Presidents have their flaws, but the last four years President Biden lead the country, I was in a much better place. Now I struggle social security check to social security check and the changes they are cutting in healthcare will make it harder. I guess they want more suffering before they get their heads out of their asses and see the mistake they made putting that whackjob in the white house.

I’m sorry. I’m a little sensitive because it seems like every time Florida is mentioned, by someone that doesn’t live here, their make statements about how stupid people that live here are. I’ve been seeing and hearing those comments most of my life, especially over the last few years. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of stupid people, of all ages, here in Florida, but we aren’t all stupid heartless assholes willing to vote against our own and all Americans best interests. I heard a lot about how horrible the Florida school system is. The only thing that causes issues about what is taught in schools are the gop idiots that have taken over the state. I am a retired teacher and I have watched, and experienced, my autonomy in the classroom being chipped away since Charles Crist was governor. It got exponentially worse when Jeb Bush was there. He literally stole the presidential election from Al Gore and handed it to W. Rick Scott, a thief, stole billions of money from Medicare before he ran for governor here. He managed to screw teachers over, even more. In any case, I have been here since I was 11 months old and if was good, not great, until the GOP invasion.

Unfortunately, I live in Florida, having moved here 28 years ago when things were sane. I heard the interview with Lapido where her claimed that he shouldn't dictate what people do with their own bodies - his rationale for removing vacine mandates. (Talk about hypocrisy since abortion laws here tell women the state has control over their bodies). Luckly, DeSantis is out as governor in 2026 (term limits), but Florida is a red state and a DeSantis clone could be as bad or worse. We must keep up the pressure campaign to get these nutcases to rescind the stupidest decision they've made so far.
