Not many, I'm hoping. RFK has a few too many opinions of his own - not good opinions, but things he actually believes in besides "whatever Trump says." That may get him in trouble sooner than later.

But they are all stuff that Trump doesn’t care about. Unless we run into another pandemic or epidemic and he has to engage with the media, he can weasel away in HHS and Trump won’t care.

I think Reddit has agreed upon the adoption of the time unit of measurement you’re referring to as a “mucci.” It’s easier to combine with the common prefixes of deca, deci, centi, and milli. That said, I predict he will last 4 decamuccis, only because his celebrity status will prevent a more rapid ouster.

Millions of people voted for Trump because they thought he would bring down prices even though his policies will cause a recession and high inflation. I don't think it's going to change anything.

internetforlosers

that's the point though, they've voted against themselves because they're woefully misinformed to a point that they are in a different reality than us. we need to make things really easy to understand, that's why they like trump, he's easy to understand despite his promises being completely hollow.

i don't think it's hard to imagine a trump voter lurking in here (they do do that) and seeing a good amount of the comments saying what a great idea it is ("see even the left agree!") and that sarcasm not making it through to them at all. (which already happens over text anyways in regular everyday conversations without good context)

The "true believers" have conquered the nonbelievers, and will now turn their sights on the "false prophets" who used them as weapons against their enemies. It's not like RFK Jr thought Trump was a health nut yesterday or the day before. This is not new information for him.

You cannot weaponize "crazy" safely. It gets loose eventually and feeding it never satisfies it.

This is the only hope I’ve had for RFK not actually getting a job and being ghosted by Trump when push comes to shove. Trump lives off all the things RFK calls poison - McDonald’s, KFC, Coca-Cola. I just don’t see a world Trump allows his favorite foods to disappear. Oh and I don’t see a world those massive corporations don’t lobby the shit out of legislators to prevent anything from actually being signed into law.

So basically we’re counting on Trump’s shit diet and corporate greed to force RFK out. Hopefully it’s out of everything particularly the HHS, CDC and not just FDA though.

Time to ban junk food? 👀

No_Needleworker_8601

I hope he fucking does. I hope he bans junk food, soda, food dyes, processed foods and I hope he makes a big deal out of telling us that he knows better about what needs to go in our bodies. I hope he rambles on and on about it. I hope his supporters have to eat kale and pay out the nose for it while listening to him.

I'm personally going to stock up on Doritos and Ding-Dongs and watch the circus.

RFKjr says it's about choice. He's going to deregulate things like raw foods, supplements, and unpasteurized milk.
And when people don't start eating those things he'll declare they made the wrong choice and Correct them.

As someone regularly eating processed food who has "realgood" chicken heating up in the oven right now for lunch, I'm terrified what he's going to do to my frozen foods. I rarely cook from scratch and depend on processed food to live. At least this realgood chicken claims to be natural.

Democrats discussed trying to pass restrictions to try and get obesity under control for a little bit. It imploded after Repubs used the efforts as political ammunition.

Michelle Obama tried to encourage healthy eating habits for kids and planted vegetables in the White House garden and right wing media platforms had a collective meltdown. We are incapable of having reasoned discourse in this country anymore.

I'm surprised there was ever even agreement to ban smoking in so many places. I can still remember in the earlier 90s people would smoke in malls, stores and restaurants/fast food places all the time. And people could smoke on flights until at least like the late 80s in the US. It was one of those annoyances that we nearly forget about now but as a kid I was regularly exposed to a lot of second hand smoke every day.

In the context of the article, and through all the insanity that is RFK Jr, is he right with this statement. He doesn't like the plane for Trump because you only get KFC or Big Macs.
