Not really. Just goes under the every accusation is a confession list for Trump and Co.
In meetings with Republican staffers to prepare for her nomination hearing, Tulsi Gabbard is unable to describe the job she is likely being nominated for.
Her former staffers are coming out claiming that she regularly reads (or used to read) RT and parrots Russian disinformation from it, including publicly in her former role as a US Rep.
Some quotes from Howard Lutnick at today’s Senate confirmation hearing:
“It is just nonsense that tariffs cause inflation.”
”Mexican cartels are operating massive fentanyl labs in Canada”
No one challenged him on his statements.
I think it counts for this thread when Steve Bannon’s propaganda arm was just granted White House access for the first time:
Can’t guess why Trump approved this young lady.
I can’t imagine Trump will push hard for RFK Jr’s confirmation. He only needed to put forward Jr’s name to fulfill his promise to him. Probably has other candidates he would prefer more.
t-Rump might even show up to press conferences.
Elon now involved with Boeing.
Boeing can’t seem to do anything right these days. You would think getting Air Force Ones ready in a reasonable amount of time would be smart business.
The good thing about RFK Jr is we know all the really wacky stuff about him and there is nothing new to surprise us.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. once proposed that Americans should receive vaccines on different schedules based on their race, according to a bombshell report.
President Donald Trump’s nominee for health secretary made the inflammatory claim in a 2021 talk posted to his Children’s Health Defense website, the anti-vaccine nonprofit that has netted him a fortune, the Washington Post reported.
“Now we know that, you know, we should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that’s given to Whites, because their immune system is better than ours,” Kennedy said.
da fuq?
There ARE medical differences in some cases, but I assume there is not one shred of evidence that immunity is materially different or any indication that this would actually be medically appropriate?
This is just more bullshit racist medicine like “Black people have thicker skin so they feel less pain.”
I can’t find it quickly now, but somewhere in my doomscrolling I came across a tweet by a White House correspondent, complaining that with all the hot women now attending the daily press briefings, she was going to have to up her game because she wasn’t hot enough.
Is he required to tell the truth?
It would have been more convincing if he had said that without a pause. The pause tells me he sank deeper into his head to determine an answer.
Dude, just lean into it! Nothing will change. You’re getting the job.
Patel lying to help his confirmation? I am shocked.
Kristol calling on fellow conservatives to step up and block unqualified nominees. Don’t hold your breath.
If you are going to put a person with a history of hanging out with white supremacists in power, people might think that you are supporting white supremacy. Just saying.
Excerpts from today’s Globe and Mail as to why Marco Rubio is boycotting G20 meeting in South Africa.
**U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced he will not attend G20 meetings this month, complaining that host country South Africa is promoting diversity, equity and other “very bad things” in the G20 agenda.
The South African government insisted it will go ahead with the ministerial meetings despite the U.S. decision, and analysts said the snub would strengthen China’s hand as an emerging leader of the G20 group of countries.
On Wednesday night, Mr. Rubio said on social media that he will not be there. He also criticized the official theme of South Africa’s G20 leadership this year: “solidarity, equality, sustainability.” This effectively means an emphasis on climate change and DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), he said.
“South Africa is doing very bad things,” Mr. Rubio said. “My job is to advance America’s national interests.**
At least he’s consistent (in not showing up).

“Doing very bad things”. Can we not have a Secretary of State who talks like a 4th grader?
