Its just basic common sense that a brain-worm riddled zombie person shouldnt be allowed to serve as a health secretary, yet here we are

But what if you are a domestic enemy trying to destroy a country, its population, and their future?

I played COD MW2 in highschool so by these standard I far exceed the qualifications needed to head up DOD. Just give me a call or something.

Do you have a large piece of gold laying around to gift the president?

Fool's gold? Perfect, I would say!

I've heard that sometimes he settles for a handjob.

In the fifth grade I won a mock trial defending a fictional character from a children's book. I believe this legal experience qualifies me for AG.

That's far more relevant experience to a role than this guy has. You're disqualified. Now, let's talk about loyalty above all else. How do you feel about that, and bribes..how much can you give ?

Wait, the guy that dumped a dead fucking bear cub in central park? The guy that SAWED OFF a fucking whales head and mounted it to the top of his car?

He's... He's what now? He has a job in the government?

Sounds like a shitty fucking government.

Wait until you hear who hired him.

Sanders Demands RFK Jr. Resign as Human

That's a pretty harsh thing to say to a poor worm that is really trying their best. People stuff is hard, so many needs and wants.

Good on Bernie, but nothing will actually come of it until Schumer sends a strongly worded letter.

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When I first heard of him, I had an open mind, and then I heard him speak.

His voice sounds like years of chain smoking, drinking, and shoddy home first aid.

Idk why anyone would listen to and see him speak and think "wow he can be trusted to help us be healthier".

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 4 points 1 week ago

Because most of us were aware that his voice was due to a neurological disorder called spasmodic dysphonia.

Don't get be wrong, there's still a long list of reasons based on his actions and public past behavior as to why he shouldn't've been considered.

It makes me think about the powers who put that silver spoon bastard into that department.

He is there to serve those who want their beliefs confirmed, by getting rid of the sciences and fattening the MLM cows.

Bernie cannot stand the Illithid

Watch how long it takes for this to evaporate into another useless cloud of unrequited demands.
