  If we want to solve that we need to stop enabling career politicians whose only life experience is debating
  • TylerE 3mo ago
    We would be a hell of a lot better off with career politicians than the current batch of grifters and ex-Fox News chuckleheads.

    Right now, we'd be better off if we even had politicians who could manage an actual debate. Seems like we can't get anything other than mudslinging and strongarming right now.

  Wow, they literally put an antivaccer in charge of the health department.

    I'm honestly surprised they didn't put a flat-earther in charge of NASA.

      It's a lot harder to claim success with no evidence in the space race than healthcare policy. There's a minimum level of actual competence needed for that job to not embarrass the Trump admin.

      NASA founder and Project Paperclip imported Nazi scientist Werner von Braun's tombstone references Psalms 19:1: > "The heavens declare the almighty of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork."

  This administration literally fast-tracked the original covid vaccines for approval. Say what you will about the Covid vaccine or Kennedy’s specific motivations (which I disagree with), but choosing to cut government funding for development of wildly profitable pharmaceutical products is a reasonable choice.

    The biggest single success from Trump’s first term is the thing his base hates to the point that they booed him over it.

    Nope. Not this administration at all. Trump 1 was a very different administration. And Trump himself has publicly backed off what was probably his one major achievement after receiving pushback from his supporters.
    • timr 3mo ago
      You’re splitting hairs.
      • TylerE 3mo ago
        No, he really isn’t. Trump one had a sane (terrible, but sane) cabinet that largely controlled his wilder impulses. This time he went for loyalty above all else.

  This is a thread about the world, not American hubris about its relevance in it Thanks for the new toll in Hormuz though
  • nxm 3mo ago
    What toll?

      The one Iran set up that wasn’t there before US engaged in regime change there
