  1. Looks like Speaker Johnson wants to spike the Gaetz ethics report. Seems like it'd be good to know what they found and if they cleared him since he's slated for such an important role. Would be fun if someone leaks it...
  2. The polio vaccine was administered to over two billion people, prevented probably 20 million severe cases of polio and saved over a million lives. The SV40 virus has not been present in the vaccine since 1963. I don't understand how he can look at that and say that he's unsure it was worth it because 60 years ago the vaccine contained a virus that may have caused cancer in 0.0001% people who were vaccinated. Even that number is high because the cancers with high levels of SV40 were in both people who did and did *not* get the vaccine. If that's the kind of scientific rigor he brings to the table, he's likely to cause a lot of issues if he's actually put in charge of HHS.
  3. I hope you do though. I very much wish that for you.
  4. I hope you get everything they've promised you.
  5. Well that's not fair. Trump seems to like Gaetz.
  6. "We won and are appointing someone who does not believe the polio vaccine was a good idea to be in charge of HHS. Libs = owned" What a stupid f*n country.
  7. Some pretty harsh words from Ben Domenech of all people: Matt Gaetz is a Vile Sex Pest and Any Senator Who Votes For Him Owns That "I realize that we are occasionally given to hyperbole about the untoward nature of politicians, but let me be clear: Matt Gaetz is a sex trafficking drug addicted piece of *****. He is abhorrent. His eyes are permanently rimmed with the red rings of chemical boosters. In person, he smells like overexposed Axe Body Spray and stale Astroglide. The fact that he boasted on the floor to multiple colleagues in the House of Representatives of his methods of crushing Viagra and high test Red Bull to maintain his erection through his orgiastic evenings is perhaps the least offensive of his many crimes against womanhood and Christian faith. The man has less principles than your average fentanyl addicted hobo. He likes them underage and he’s not ashamed about it. Matt Gaetz isn’t just your average extreme Florida MAGA Man, he’s a hypocritical ass with the worst Botox money can buy, pursuing an ever-thinner nose and higher cheekbones at every opportunity like a Real Housewife gone mad for fillers. Every Republican in Washington has an opinion about Matt Gaetz, and 99 percent of those opinions are “Keep Matt Gaetz away from my wife/daughter/friend and anyone I care about.” He is a walking genital, warts included as a bonus. If I was merely attempting to count the number of women I know who have had bad experiences with Matt Gaetz, I would run out of fingers and toes. If you vote for him to be the Attorney General of the United States, you don’t just need your head examined, you need to be committed to a mental institution. The man is absolutely vile. There are pools of vomit with more to offer the earth than this STD-riddled testament to the failure of fallen masculinity. Let’s just deal with the facts. Did Matt Gaetz transport an underage woman across state lines with the stated intent of her having sex with him and his friends? Yes. Did he later claim to Tucker Carlson that this woman did not exist? Yes. Does this conflict with the fact that one of his closest friends was convicted of having sex with this underage woman for pay? Yes. Are Gaetz and his ***** friends attempting to destroy the records — images, videos, etc. — from this sex party to protect his political future? Yes. Does this matter to Republicans? Who can say? Donald J. Trump has the best judgment in politics, of course he would never name a sex trafficking drug addled lying philandering piece of ***** to be the Attorney General of the United States simply to avoid investigation. Or would he? Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla.) resignation from Congress came two days before the House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing a “highly damaging” report outlining its investigation into the Republican, according to multiple sources familiar with the probe. The committee planned to vote Friday on releasing the report. Ethics loses its jurisdiction over Gaetz when he leaves Congress. The secretive panel has been investigating Gaetz on and off since 2021. President-elect Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Gaetz to be attorney general Wednesday. Here’s the real deal: Matt Gaetz is the line for how we assess the Republican Party. If they are truly a cult of personality, beholden to Donald Trump in ways that we could not even imagine for a party that rejects cults and idol worship, they will approve this choice. But if they have a degree of independence, any kind of free thought, mindful of the fact that a presidency is four years but your career is forever, they will reject this choice so emphatically that it sends a very simple, straightforward message: you can be an absolute dirtbag wannabe pimp pounding dick pills and caffeine while you film your “girlfriend” twerking on the gram, or you can be a Republican. The choice is yours."
  8. Yeah, I was kinda sad I had some work to do so I was just going to have it on in the background but now I'm very ok that I have work to do so it's just on in the background
  9. Another TNF game I don't care a ton about but I'm tuning in anyway because the live All-22 camera angle in the Prime Vision broadcast is a lot of fun.
  10. Sure, bud. Half the time I log in here, I have a bunch of notifications of people talking crap about me because they don't like what I said. I've been called all kinds of names by people making all kinds of baseless disgusting accusations about me. There's an account here who has spent basically the whole time I've been on this site completely obsessed with me. Last I checked, they were still talking crap about me more than a year after they claimed they blocked me. But I'm still here. And when people support the nomination of someone who isn't sure the *polio vaccine* was a good idea, yeah, I'm going to make fun of them. Because that's a really stupid thing for someone to believe.
  11. It’s almost as if there is a difference between taking pleasure in the sadness of millions of people and responding to what an individual says. Anyway, the polio vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind and the new nominee for HHS isn’t sure if it saved more lives than it killed.
  12. Quick Recap: B-Man continues to be easily triggered. Poor guy. Gonna be a rough couple years for him.
  13. Aww, some poor sad sacks got triggered. Sorest winners in the world.
  14. Tremendous win for Big Polio. Anyone know where one can invest in companies that make iron lungs and child sized coffins? Also, what’s with having departments with two people leading them? First we have Vivek and Elon leading DOGE, now RFK Jr. and his brain work leading HHS…
  15. Human trafficking is bad. Whether it's a future AG trafficking women for sex, or governors trafficking people for political points. Feels like that should not be controversial but it's hard to know with you.
  16. I'm old enough to remember when the GOP claimed to oppose people accused of human trafficking and having sex with minors. Getting his exit ticket punched just before the House Ethics Committee finished its investigation into him was quite the fortuitous timing for Mr. Gaetz! On the flip side, at least Gaetz is intimately familiar with the justice system. Just from the other side of the law from previous AGs...
  17. The entire purpose of the Office of Inspector General is to combat fraud, waste, and abuse. in FY 2023, they identified $82.2 billion in savings. If the plan was to better fund and expand the OIG so it could combat even more waste, I'd be all for it. The ROI for investing in the OIG is excellent and would be a big win for taxpayers. Instead, the plan is to set up an entirely new and separate department to do something that an existing department already does. It's less drafting Josh Allen and more running 2 QB formations. Doesn't make a ton of sense. And when you consider that the department to eliminate waste is being co-headed by one of the government's largest contractors, it's hard to take it seriously. Are they going to examine SpaceX's contracts? It's like asking the fox to guard the henhouse. Counterfactual for you: If the Biden administration had said that it was going to create a new department to combat fraud and hired the head of Raytheon to run it and then named the department after a memestock that the head of Raytheon had large personal holdings of, would that be a good idea?
  18. https://www.oversight.gov/ On average, for every $1 spent on IGs, we get $14-17 in savings and efficiencies. Seems like creating an entirely new department instead of just better leveraging what already exists is the kind of bureaucratic waste we should be doing away with.
  19. I’m not great at math, but is 1,000,000 bigger than 24? Report shows young people, people of color less likely to have valid photo identification “Nearly 29 million voting-age U.S. citizens lacked a valid driver's license and more than 7 million had no other form of non-expired government-issued photo identification. In states with strict photo identification laws in 2020, more than 3 million voting-age U.S. citizens did not have a current driver's license, and more than 1 million did not have a non-expired government-issued photo identification.”
  20. Pretty big “if” there. I am extremely skeptical that this is what they actually want to achieve. Besides, we have an existing role for that kind of activity in the inspectors general.
  21. The name of the department is literally a money making scheme for a guy who holds a lot of Doge Coin.
  22. Nah, a bad faith argument is constantly mischaracterizing someone’s stance because it doesn’t fit your narrative and then making a bunch of claims based purely on conjecture. You know, the thing you’re doing.
  23. ITT: People who believe in ridiculous election fraud conspiracies making fun of different people who believe in ridiculous election fraud conspiracies.
  24. No, my point is simply that I do not believe we should disenfranchise voters based on lies of widespread voter fraud. I also don’t know where the claim that “we are finding cheaters much more readily in ID states vs non ID states“ came from. Do you have any support for that idea? The example you provided is people in a non-ID state being caught. Finally, to actually steal a presidential election with the current voter laws would involve such an incredibly large conspiracy of agents across dozens of districts in a multitude of states, all with the voter information and signatures of tens or hundreds of thousands of voters who they are sure will not vote themselves that it is essentially impossible. Any such attempt would not only be doomed to fail but be discovered well in advance of being attempted.
  25. In theory, I really don’t have an issue with an ID requirement. In practicality though, the ID laws are often crafted in ways to make it more challenging for certain groups to vote. I know it’s hard to believe at first, but millions of Americans do not currently have government issued photo IDs. Simply requiring such an ID today without addressing that gap or making it easier for people to obtain a qualifying ID is just needlessly disenfranchising people. Many of the ID laws pushed around by those making false claims of voter fraud limit the types of IDs that qualify to the exclusion of “undesired” voters. For instance, allowing a hunting license but not allowing a student ID from a state school. I believe Alabama passed a voter ID law and then subsequently closed a bunch of DMVs in predominantly black counties. When I look at the types of ID laws being pushed that make it harder for eligible citizens to vote, against the very insignificant amount of fraud, I’m going to stand on the side of the franchise. If widespread voter fraud was actually real, I might think differently. If there was a proposed law that required ID but made it very easy and free for eligible voters to obtain one (combined with a campaign to get people the IDs), I wouldn’t be up in arms against that. PS: if you want to talk about cheating, a lot of the people getting caught for in-person voter fraud are actually Republicans.
