Opinion | The Strange World of RFK Jr.

onald Trump II is a brave new world, and look no further than his strange choice of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Health and Human Services Department. Only months ago Mr. Trump was calling the Kennedy family scion a “liberal lunatic,” yet now he wants to hand RFK Jr. the power to “make America healthy again.” Good luck making sense of this nomination.

Hopefully, we'll have our normal CC system up and running again soon. Thank you very much for your loyal support!

Makes a lot of sense here. Please read this before commenting because you're likely to see a lot of important points. Ben Carson would have been a far better nominee.

More BS from people who hate you and tried to kill your candidate.

Sorry; not reading anything from an open borders editorial board.

Here’s some hard truth everyone:

The best way to get Trump’s nominees through is to offer the GOP Senators more money than the Chicoms are offering.



To: libstripper

There are several “strange” people supporting Trump’s re-election. The key word here is “support”. People from all walks of life support him. I thought that was supposed to be a good thing. Do I agree with all of them? No. And for the record, if Jesus had been on the ballot, I would have voted for Him, instead. But he wasn’t, so I voted for the guy He gave us for such a time as this, warts and all.

Want your feelings validated WSJ? Try winning an election. Until then words are wind.

The US political system is a series of checks and balances. The notion that nothing the US Fed do should ever be challenges is infantile ignorance at best. If you pearl clutching about RFK Jr “going to far” that what Congress and the Courts are there for to correct.

Makes a lot of sense if you’re an apologist for big pharma and toxic additives to food that are banned everywhere else.

Kids are obese, drug addiction at an all time high. Vaccines for everything. Outbreaks of measles are due to open borders. Same with TB. And one debunked study does not explain the massive explosion of autism over the past 3 decades. It certainly correlates to the massive explosion of vaccines. Sometimes administered all at once to perfectly healthy infants who are not quite the same after.

You can’t reform these institutions. They need to be destroyed and rebuilt.

Pimples that are second guessing Trump are ankle biting. Not a good look.

You’re right about that. In a strange sort of way.

I’ve been reading threads by Owen where he states that the Debt Ceiling Suspension which expires on January 1 will be reinstated. And if Congress wants to borrow and spend more money they better play ball with 45/47.

And that means confirming all his nominees.

If Trump wanted to put RfK jr in charge of anything touching “Climate Change”, he would have a point. At HHS he will be challenging a structure that isn’t Free Enterprise to begin with. There was another Republican appointee who was a liberal, but was appointed HHS because he was okay on the pertinent issues… Richard Schweiker.

Makes a lot of sense here.

Add your name to the long list of freepers that have learned nothing in the Trump era.

Never take Trump literally, always take him seriously.

Campaign talk is just that, FReepers never seem to learn that actions are what count not trashtalk words said in battle.
