Snake oil salesmen and Puritans. Both intolerant.

Agreed, but they are ever popular with ever present slow thinkers, that might even vote.

Enlightenment seems unprofitable. Frustratingly

The epitome of irony is Karoline Leavitt telling someone to get his/her facts straight. All projection all the time.

Trump's Traveling

Mystical MAGA Tour -

step right up ladies and

gents! Swallow some

more conspiracy theory,

corked in this gold

bottle, guaranteed to

clean you out for just

$20 in bit coins.

Hear ye! Hear ye! You

must have a cooperating

house, senate and

president to reform the

crooked SCOTUS 6. Get

busy and make it so.

The president does not

control elections! The

states do. That's us.

Every single one of us

out here.

Re: *tRump v Slaughter*...Chris Geidner excerpts this incisive comment from J. Kagan's dissent:

"Our emergency docket should never be used, as it has been this year, to permit what our own precedent bars. Still more, it should not be used, as it also has been, to transfer government authority from Congress to the President, and thus to reshape the Nation’s separation of powers."

Salient point being that normally, precedence controls until the full Court rules otherwise...in the case of tRump and his "emergency" filings, the far-right majority has it arse-backwards, where they ALLOW de facto overturning of precedence BEFORE actually deciding to overrule said precedence. Granting "certiorari before judgment" has been a gift-wrapped reward for corruption of the [existing] rule of law, and the Supremes have been all-in.

Heads I win, tails you lose.

This was "Dr" tRump way OTP: "...too much liquids...it's like '80' different vaccines, way beyond vaccines..."

Now, is there ANYBODY in the medical profession who votes Republican would be willing to go on the record to support these remarks? If not, would they be willing to go public and rubbish "Dr" tRump for his ludicrous statements? Sen. Cassidy, what say you?

How many MAGA parents will actually accept his "medical advice"?

So, Trump falsely goes after Tylenol (Kenvue) for causing autism. This, after saying he was going to reduce pharmacy costs by "1000" percent.

I can't help but wonder what Kenvue did to piss off Trump and if this is some kind of blackmail to get them to comply to his pharmacy deal, or if Trump or one of his billionaire cronies is angling to take over the pharmaceutical companies.

With Trump, it's always about the money and the grift.

Anyway, that's my hot take.

When I read your headline, I was just sure POTUS announced that he was selling a Tylenol alternative out of the WH, alongside all of his other junk.

At least Huey Long did deliver some good things to the people of Louisiana. These monsters are a totally malevolent force.

This one is even better: "“There’s something artificial. They’re taking something,” Trump said. “There are certain groups of people that don’t take vaccines and don’t take any pills that have no autism.”

Crisp, unassailable logic.
