"SNIP............

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told supporters that Donald Trump has promised to give him “control” of several public health agencies, including the US Department of Health and Human Services and the US Department of Agriculture, if he wins a second term in November, CNN reports.

............SNIP"

Applegrove:

Why is it that all policy or political actions of Republicans always result in more people dying?

…a man with brain worms thinks he can be both the Secretary of Dept. of Health and Human Services - and - the Secretary of Agriculture!

What a man!! An Arnold Palmer-like man!

with Joe Namath checking coverage in your zip code.

That’s as close to healthcare as he should be allowed to get.

I have a family member that is MAGA, an anti-vaxxer, believes in natural cures and believes in the myth that there is a cure for cancer that pharmaceutical companies are hiding because they want to make their billions.

RFK Jr or Trump would be a disaster to our national health.

"Advise and consent"? That's the old obsolete way of presidenting, we do things differently with the new TSFv2.0, he gets who he wants no questions asked.

As terrible as RFKjr would be, the numerous deaths he'd cause as head of HHS would be a drop in the raging ocean of horror that is a second TSF administration.

And this is not meant as any sort of apologetic for RFKjr. I stand amazed at the prospect of how incredibly bad things could get across the board.

Let him take care of your health.

Oh wait, he's not even an MD.

Oh wait, he's a kook with a brain worm.

First, Trump will not win. Second, if he does, Trump will deny knowing RFK, Jr.
