If they deport all the illegals who will build the houses and infrastructure, who will harvest the food, slaughter and cut up the meat, tend the rich people’s gardens, cook at restaurants, clean everywhere?????

I suspect RFK, Jr. is Trump's court jester. As soon he starts talking about industry dumping God only knows what into our water, air, and food chain, the rest of the cabinet will snicker and mouth the word "brainworm" to each other while Trump eggs him on. Great fun!

Musk passionately hates the SEC, FAA, EPA, Fish and Wildlife because they impede his ability to do what he wants, when he wants and laws be damned.

SEC because they fined him for manipulating stocks. Unfortunately the SEC turned out to be spineless.

FAA and EPA and that crowd have earned his ire because they don't let him willy-nilly fling rockets into space. EPA because they don't mandate a Tesla MUST be in every garage.

Wonder how he defrocks NASA and channels all their funding into Spacex, a private company. Plus he has a sizeable number of people who have bought into moving to Mars sooner rather than later.

Every generation yearns a hero, but Elon Musk is about as far from hero material as you will find on planet Earth.

Apparently, the worm ate the part of Kennedy’s brain that used reason before it died.

If anyone is RFK, Jr curious, they are not a serious person!

Truly sinister thing about chemtrails: even Luftwaffe fighter planes were doing it in WWII. Wasn't just B17s and US fighters.

Here is my favorite conspiracy nutcase: The Crazy Rainbow Lady.

I can't explain . . . it's . . . it's . . . You have to see it. She thinks . . water spraying from a hose never caused a rainbow up until now. "What the heck is happening to our water?!?"

I think we need to stop asking if Republicans have spine. When they act, it’s usually out of cowardice. Too often we think of cowardice being passive, but it can be active. I don’t ever have faith in Republicans valuing or doing the right thing, but I have confidence that they are wholly self-serving — far beyond the version of homo economicus we structurally accommodate.

Let’s say RFK does get confirmed… do you think there would be enough sane people left in those department to use his conspiracies to distract him away from “real” work. I’m imagining something like how I distract my cat with a laser pointer to keep her from destroying my furniture. 😂

They may even be able to use a laser pointer. It's worth a try.

Yep.

"I am persuaded" should read

Reminds me of the report that Stephen Moore, supposedly an economist, was persuaded by Donald Trump, not an economist or a particularly competent entrepreneur, that tariffs are great after all.

I’m curious about this Ashkenazi Jew immunity thing. I’m Sephardic, and my ass got Covid three times (Twice post vax.). Couldn’t they have factored the Sephardim into the conspiracy? FFS, it’s almost as if there isn’t enough of a genetic difference between all of us to specify … 😐

(🤫 there isn’t enough of a genetic difference between all of us to specify.)

It's the same old story: the Sephardim always get the short end of the schtick.

Yeah but our food and music is better😉

I don't know if any Senators take time to check in with The Bulwark and comments, but I'd like to ask this: Are you serious about allowing Trump to take over the powers of Congress? Really? If so, you are not only cowards and complicit, but treasonous. Get some backbone!

I would say, grow back the cajones you seemed to have lost.
