When RFKJr came up for nomination, Senator Cassidy wrestled with his conscience and won. It was an epic struggle, but he finally locked his conscience in a Full Nelson and choked the living shit out of it. The big payoff is that his conscience is now as dead as a door nail.

HOW can you put someone in charge of the health department that Looks Like that? Look at his skin, listen to that stutter! Does HE look healthy to you?!

Well I don't know about everyone else here but I ❤️ Secretary 🧠🐛!

His enlightened management of the public health system will put us out of our misery before the 2028 elections. Maybe no one of voting age left alive to cast votes in some red states. Next: President Pritzker!

LET NO ONE SAY you sat on your a** when vaccines were about to get “disappeared.” Join us in taking action against RFK’s dangerous policies before it’s too late.

Preferably to someplace that has both ebola and dengue fever in abundance.

Ta, Gary. Please, someone with a spine, file articles of impeachment before he kills too many of our family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors.

If you're attending a protest Monday, lead the crowd in chanting: Epstein. Epstein! Epstein!! EPSTEIN!!! until everyone's doing it.

I wasn't aware that cabinet members could be impeached by Congress, but a moment of searching shows they can.

I wonder about the high crimes and misdemeanors in this case, though - being a full-on crank lunatic asshole isn't a crime, as such ...

Kennedy is a junkie. Maybe he still uses, maybe not, but he's out of his mind and has been for a long time. This is on top of being poached in the juices of the Kennedy clan, which also would fuck you up.

When my relative was clean and sober they still continued to have these melting-brain theories just like Kennedy. Maybe if you're sober long enough your brain comes back, but maybe not.

Since we don't give a shit about people suffering from addiction in this country, we don't know.

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine has reportedly taken to her fainting couch, where she may be for hours. HOURS!

It's nice to know at least some Republicans can get mad about something. They were starting to look like a bunch of zombies following dear leader off a cliff. Maybe they'll finally wake up?

Thank you for expressing the absolute rage I also feel about Senator Cassidy. He broke his Hippocratic Oath taken as a physician to 'first, do no harm' when he went against his better judgment and cast the deciding vote to approve RFK JR'S nomination in the Senate Health Committee.

In his defense, he thought it was a hypocrite oaf.

The least RFK Jr could do is legalize heroin. At least we’d all be swimming blissfully in dopamine while America burns.

Thank you, Gary.

I was hoping you would let us know how Murkowski is feeling about this. I fear she may be troubled. Not that she’s a Democrat, but given the number of times she’s been troubled, she might be approaching some kind of stirring of the waters from which she would emerge reborn, and about as useful.

Also, it would be helpful if you could do an article that would explain the continuum of democratic responses. Maybe like a thermometer visual that would show us the relationship between concerned and troubled, alarmed, E alarmed, etc.

Trump really outdid himself by appointing this self-entitled jackass to a position of massive responsibility. He's a poster child for Dunning-Kruger.

I'm convinced that Trump did it out of inchoate resentment of the medical establishment for not solving the pandemic quickly enough to save his ass in 2020.

That sounds plausible. There’s no level of pettiness he won’t sink to.

I think he did it because it tickled his vanity to have a bona fide Kennedy sucking up to him.
