The fact that his take aways included worries about the costs to the government to care for chronically ill children and that soooo many children won’t be of use to the government for military service or canon fodder is terrifying.
What’s the proposal here???? A sudden about-face regarding abortion bans with forced abortions for any woman found to be carrying a child deemed a useless burden to society???
I bet the government will figure out a way to fund that dystopian future. Pour money into finding these leeches off the government before they’re born. Then sterilization for those women so they won’t have the chance to reproduce.
Sound far fetched? The government sterilized women against their knowledge and consent before so why not again??
Awww Edie Bouvier-Beale & Big Edie are my kind of chicks. Who *wouldn't* wear an opera costume to their son's wedding, especially if it was a beautifully made costume ? I doubt the cousins ate cat food thinking it was pate, really. I must be on the spectrum for something then.
One of my grandfather's older brothers, and the source of my real first name, died at age 16 in 1919 of Spanish Flu... oops, wait a minute, RFKJr. hasn't heard of that either, has he? The deep state must have bumped him off for reasons!
I think this is related to how the MAGA movement doesn't respect facts but likes to use the term "common sense" instead - which seems to mean "I haven't ever seen it, neither have you, so let's agree it doesn't exist." And poof - it's gone; end of discussion.
>There was zero spent in this country treating chronic disease when my uncle was president
Hold on: When I was a kid I had heard of President John F Kennedy, but I didn't know he had a nephew named RFK Jr. Therefore, RFK Jr can't really be JFK's nephew: if he was, then I would have heard about it as a kid.
My Dad was born in 1906 and died a bit shy of his 70th birthday and was still pretty sharp and pretty liberal, except he did occasionally use some expressions that must have seemed fairly OK at one time. "High Yellow" and "Half-Caste" come to mind and I shudder. He asked me one time about a girl in my class who had, as he put it, a "Hare-Lip," I had never heard the expression and I thought he was talking about a girl who had a little mustache - "hair lip," One thing that did confuse hm, in an Emily Litella sort of way was John Chancellor talking about the crisis with "Artistic Children." There was no closed captioning yet.
Oh, and as others have mentioned. my best grade-school chum was diabetic all the time I knew him and he would have been born in about 1944. They always referred to it as "Sugar Diabetes" back then or sometimes just "sugar" "He's got the sugar, ya' know."
I'd often heard the expression "Keep your cotton-pickin' hands off my stuff" although it wasn't part of my own vocabulary. It wasn't until I was in my sixties that it dawned on me why cotton-pickin' was in there.
It’s still amazing to me that so many people believe that because they themselves didn’t see it, know it, hear about it at whatever time in their lives, “it” didn’t exist and therefore shouldn’t exist now, so “it” is either not real (wishful thinking”, or it’s been created by an unseen enemy (paranoia). Three monkeys syndrome- “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”- or deaf, mute and blind to science and history.
You're not quite correct about women not being diagnosed with hysteria (or some other non-medical opinion). My youngest daughter died from ovarian cancer, after having been told for two years that her reports of abdominal pain were 'drug seeking,' that her breathing problems were 'panic attacks,' that she should treat her severely low iron levels with an OTC iron supplement and that her diarrhea was just a matter of 'eating better' (she was a superior cook who made everything fresh from scratch). By the time she finally got a diagnosis, it was way too late--the cancer had metastasized throughout her body. She lived a year and a week longer, most of the time in pain.

I'm almost his age and I knew what autism was when I was ten. So it could be that RFKJ is just a willfully ignorant horse's ass.

Is it my imagination or has someone’s account been hacked?
It looked like a fake account with a name almost the same.

He never heard of juvenile diabetes? Banting and Best won the Nobel Prize in 1923 for isolating insulin and using it to treat juvenile diabetes.

Or they'll believe everything they read in one old book [the Buybull] but think every other book ever written is lying...
Yes! Amazing literary “discernment”…
This is the funniest thing I have read all week and stuffed full of actual facts. A genuine pleasure 🙏
Consumption is no longer a thing. I guess our humors are more in balance now, eh?
What a fucking tool.
FuCk TeD cRuZ.

I’m so sorry. That was truly misogynistic malpractice.
Thank you. That you even have to say these things is heartbreaking, but I’m grateful that you can, and you did. Keep on.

Does RFK use the same shade of Kiwi Shoe Polish as Dear Leader?
On his face, I mean.
