US Election 2024

So much to love in that, from the fact that a decent chunk of that can in fact be patented by Pharma companies, to the fact that apparently the FDA has been suppressing sunshine, which is quite a technological feat.

From the solar generation stats here, can confirm.

Trump could try naming him as acting head of the FDA. He used that trick in the final couple of years of his first term to avoid confirmation for some of his appointments.
More likely he’ll just make Kennedy an “advisor” to the White House and avoid questions of confirmation altogether.

He didn’t have any issues getting some pretty nuts folk confirmed last time, and he has even more control over the House and Senate now. I doubt getting RFK in would a challenge. (From memory, it’s just the Senate that needs to confirm appointments)

And the fact that he thinks it’s just some mom and pop operations producing things like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin

Jesse, we have to cook

Every budding Walter White will have a hall pass issued by RFK as part of their arrest kit.

He could get confirmed. It would be a humiliating affair though, I think they’ll try and avoid. There’s a reason Jared Kushner worked for the White House rather than being given a Cabinet position

FDR was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, you’re thinking RFK

It isn’t mom and pop labs of course, but I suspect that with hydroxychloroquine it could be. If the precursors, and maybe a catalyst, weren’t too hard to get hold of then I imagine an undergraduate organic chemist could assemble some in her basement. It’s the same molar mass as fentanyl and that can be cooked up in a place like this (the Home Depot buckets are a nice touch)

Of course the devil would be in the detail. How pure might you want it, for instance ?

Whoops, yes. Quite right.

The sunshine thing is about protecting yourself from UV radiation. There’s a bunch of influencers now advocating for skin cancer. They think sunscreen introduces toxins into the body and they think sun overexposure is actually healthy.

Oh god, like these wankers:

I imagine California Governor Gavin Newsom will have to start answering questions about a 2028 run any day now.

Would that finally be a clean break from the Obama, Hillary, Biden, Harris dynasty of Democrats & their 2008 electoral offer? Could they resume taking an interest in the working class voters they offered nothing to this time around? The campaign geeks who made millions of dollars spending the billions raised on misplaced political marketing won’t be happy. Maybe not co-opting the Cheneys next time would also be smart.

Harris actually wasn’t part of that crowd. She came out of California politics, the others are all definitely Washington animals though
I never understood the trying to rack up Republican endorsements. One of the only things Trump ever was right about was his assessment of Liz Cheney. She is a leftover NeoCon warhawk ghoul

Harris, when asked what she’d have done differently to Biden, couldn’t come up with anything.

Would Newsome be more left leaning?

I would say. They’re not going to hand the reins over to AOC or someone like that.
