Read what a lot of you are saying in this thread about “rare W” and the like and realize this poignant saying…
“You can’t only piss in one PART of the pool”
You won’t get just the one thing you want from RFK, you’ll get it all - Stop taking the bait, dipshits. This is the candy he’s trying to give you while sliding down your pants with the other hand and slathering coconut oil on your b-hole.
Trump won, so the US will get a pissed pool no matter what.
To say “rare w” isn’t to deny that, it’s acknowledging that even though the pool is absolutely disguising with 80% piss, at least that’ll help some people with skin conditions.
Yep that’s basically it. “Rare W” is not an endorsement, it’s pretty much the opposite : recognizing that an otherwise terrible person/organization did something good or made a good point for once.
There are fools who believe that Big Pharma won’t take over Big Supplement (and the ads will be for supplements).
I wonder if that ban includes quack remedies?
Ooh, anything else about him worth mentioning?
“Man wants to spend time socializing with children and giving them gifts” is an odd lead in for “unapologetic child molester stalks local park”
He’s a weird mix of “cannot be allowed near the job” and great ideas.
Well, two. This and getting the stigma off of psychedelics.
Nothing’s worth having an anti-vaxxer in charge, though. Not even close.
You forgot his third one, he supports stem cell research, which is odd given that his new buddies don’t approve of creating new sources of stem cells (aborted fetal tissue).
Well, IVF is still legal for the time being.
And fun fact! Depending on the facility, if there’s any unused fertilized eggs left the woman/couple can decide to donate them to medical stem cell research facilities.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
I guess the worm didn’t eat all of it.
Yes, that would be good, but let’s be real here, this is basically a statement that says “hey big pharma, I’m not getting enough campaign contributions!! Get off your ass and give me some cash!” - Trump
This will NEVER get passed in a Trump administration. It’s all window dressing on a big pile of streaming shit.
Most of what RFK proposes or wants to propose would impact the bottom line of big pharma.
You think they’re going to allow that?
Never fuck with the money.
RFK doesn’t mind annoying the corporatocracy…
I seem many bad things being said, and some hopeful things mixed in. I’m just waiting until it’s all said and done to assess the outcome.
Honestly kind of weird, you would expect him to allow literally anybody to advertise their drugs from his usual deregulatory stance.
Nearly all countries do this. Even the regressive ones. It’s one of the biggest reasons why pharma is a massive cash cow in the US, alongside the fact that we don’t negotiate drug prices aside from a handful of drugs and only medicare/medicaid and only the past <4 years or so.
Rare RFK W.
Even a blind clock is a horse once in a while
A broken horse will lead a man to water at least twice a day in the bush
The other was avoiding processed foods. I’m guessing he won’t be allowed to implement that either when his boss gets a wheelbarrow full of cash from the McClown.
There’s a shot of RFK and the rest of the Dream Team holding a Big Mac somewhere and he genuinely looks like they’ve asked him to pose with a freshly laid dog turd.
Trump is smiling in the picture like he just made his new stooge pose with a dog turd
RFK just looks terrible in every picture I’ve seen
Mike johnson photobombing in from the side, trying to be included.
Seriously, he gives me major whiplash. Like 90% of his opinions are pure bullshit, but I often agree with the remainder.
He also left the dead carcas of a bear in Central Park.
He also drove over 300 miles to cut the head off a beached whale and bring it home.
RFK does a lot of strange things, and i don’t think it was 100% the brain worm either.
“When your rich they just let you do it” - Some rich asshole
He also had a habit of eating raw or even partly rotten meat for a while IIRC. That’s probably how he got that brain worm.
The behind the bastards podcast about him was a wild ride
Fishing for bribes imo.
Heh, he’s crazy as all get-out, but I agree with getting drug ads away from the uneducated public. If an ad has to have “ask your doctor about”, it shouldn’t exist anywhere, not just TV.
He just wants this one to de-educate people on the existence of drugs in general, but honestly, if you need to see a doctor to talk about them/get them, they don’t need advertising in the first place. It does open up a bigger discussion on knowledge about the availability of pharmaceutical treatments, though, since some people probably ask their doctors about symptom treatment based on ads. It’s purely reactive and the wrong way to take care of your health, but, I won’t ignore the obviously systematic issues with access to affordable healthcare for proactive care, vs. “make this hurting stop” care.
In Canada, they aren’t allowed to tell you what a drug does in the ad, but they still have them. They try to hint at what they do, or just give you a vibe for it.
The classic example is the original series of Viagra ads.
Ads, yes. Class action legal ads for pharmasutical side effects/injury can stay. Do your testing ya smucks.
It’s fucking weird how this motherfucker is against vaccines, for raw milk, but also wants to do things that actually would be good, as well, like this. That worm really did a number on him…
It’s pretty understandable, I think. He actually does care about health issues. He’s just cooked in his understanding of how many of them work. He thinks vaccine side effects are worse than their indented effect, etc.
Nobody in their right mind thinks the side effects of the polio vaccine are worse than the disease.
I said I think he truly cares, I didn’t say he’s sane.
in their right mind
Did you forget about the brain worms?
Polio is only one vaccine
Even a broken clock is right twice a day…
I will never not downvote this statement
Is that because you’re too young to have grown up with analogue clocks everywhere? (Clearly the phrase is wrong if a broken clock shows nothing at all…)
Some kinds of stopped analog clocks are right twice a day. But when people say “broken,” I want to say “mate, you haven’t seen broken if you think that’s broken.” It’s not broken enough unless the pieces will fit through a sieve.
Thanks for assuming you have any idea about me.
But you are very wrong, I’m plenty old enough to know wtf a analogue clock is.
I’m don’t like the comment because it’s shallow and reinforces the dichotomy of Dem vs Gop
The notion that people are only wrong even if they are right. The idea that a bad person can’t change. Even if they do an empathetic action and care about someone they are still and will only ever be wrong.
It’s internet shallow, it’s a meme catch phrase for the lazy.
The notion that people are only wrong even if they are right.
That’s literally the opposite of what it means though. The point of the phrase is that even people who are full of bad ideas occasionally come up with a good one.
The idea that a bad person can’t change. Even if they do an empathetic action and care about someone they are still and will only ever be wrong.
That requires them to actually change their ways, rather than having a good point mixed in with poisonous ones.
So yeah, RFK is a broken clock.
That requires them to actually change their ways, rather than having a good point mixed in with poisonous ones.
Yeah, a better analogy is the effective difference between eating a shit sandwich and a sandwich filled with 99.9% shit and a speck of perfectly tasty honey-baked ham.
Fair enough.
I personally don’t care about the broken clock thing, but a phrase that does annoy me is “if it ain’t broke…” So I can emphasise with the idea that a popular simple proverb often oversimplifies and misrepresents and distorts what people are actually trying to discuss.
That’s the problem with the use of a thought-terminating cliche in a discussion. It’s not directly relevant, it’s not an original idea, and it’s a sign that you’d rather make a time-wasting comment than engage. You’re cutting and pasting, not thinking.
Went into reading this comment thinking you were just being a douche. Nope see your point.
He’s a crystal hippie
