    For as many foolish things Kennedy has talked about wanting to institute, a drug ad ban is not one of them. Kinda awesome, actually.

      Not exactly worth the damage he’s gonna do, though.

        Honestly…… if we can rule out the “vaccine” shit…. Then maybe?

          The issue is the people who don’t or who no longer make it mandatory at schools and all of a sudden polio and measles make a massive comeback for the immune compromised

            No no, I understand that vaccines are important, you misunderstand my statement.

              I’ll still be in a labor camp for the crime of having ADHD, but sure, take away his stance on vaccines and it’ll all be good

              (sorry for being snippy, just pointing out that the vaccine bullshit is just one of the layers of awful he wants to implement, and the drug ad ban is one of the few not horrible things I’ve heard from him)

                You’re being overly sensitive here, I gave you the win already.

                And no you can’t blame your ADHD for the sensitivity, I have it too.

                Chill my guy. I’m no rfk supporter, nor maga enthusiast.

                  What the hell are you talking about, gave me the win? What does that even mean? That was the only time I’ve ever replied to you.

                  Whether you meant to or not, you sounded like you were saying the main problem with him was the vaccines, without that he’s not that bad; I was pointing out that he’s promised a lot more bad things than that. I wasn’t even mad or upset or being overly sensitive about it (prickly, maybe, at least in presentation).

                  I didn’t even accuse you of being an RFK or maga supporter.

                  And now you’re doing the whole dismissive “don’t be so sensitive” bullshit. Just… Don’t do that.

                    “I’d still be in a labor camp” is a bit extreme, no?

                    Yeah you’re still hyper sensitive here, I’m not even fighting you. That’s my point.

      He would be fired by trump before this would happen. The reason it is still allowed is because of interest money and this administration is all about money. The only way I would see such ban happening would be banning those ads on TV while enabling them on social media.

        Maybe the play is that he threatens to ban them until drug companies talk to him at a dinner and discuss much needed financial support for this administration’s projects.

      Watch what they do, not what they say. Trump makes empty promises all the time. I’m sure the same is true of Maggot Brain.

        I believe that wormfood wants to ban the ads, just no way it’s gonna happen.
