I read some moron leftist on Twitter today say that "Liberals need to build their own Joe Rogan". Bitch, did you not know that Bernie Sanders went on Rogan last election cycle and Rogan endorsed him? Did you not know that Fetterman was on Rogan literally FIVE DAYS AGO?!? Do you know how many times Abby fucking Martin has been on the Joe Rogan podcast? Don't know who she is? Well, count yourself lucky. I only know because I decided to pick a random Rogan episode to listen to on my jog one day, and I had to bleach my ears afterwards.

Heres yet another case where you believe the lie. RFK has insisted hes not taking away vaccines, but wants to give people the choice. If people want to choose to be idiots and let their kids get polio, by all means be a moron.

He's certainly backed up a little from earlier positions post election.
But think about what you are saying. You decide that you're not going to give your kid the polio vaccine.
It's not that your kid may suffer from getting polio...it's that it's highly contagious and as a result your neighbor's kid might end up in an iron lung because you chose not to vaccinate your kid.
Because of my age, I was in the first set of kids to get it in 1954 at my grade school in Chattanooga.
By 1979 polio was gone from the US.
We've eradicated polio almost world wide through the efforts of Gates Foundation and Rotary International.
But RFK wants to let us make a choice about getting the vaccine before sending our child to school.
Wonderful.

Like I said, if people want to be stupid, let them be stupid. Natural selection…. We need less stupid people, so I’m all for it. I’ve vaccinated my kids… my body my choice amirite?

[GoMuskies]

Won't the other kid be vaccinated? Assuming his or her parents aren't morons, of course.

Ding ding ding...

If my kids are protected, I'm not concerned about the poor choice of another parent. The key word in that sentence being 'choice'

The great Ohioan, JD Vance will be your Repub nominee in 2028.
After these next 4 years of greatness, there will be no contest.
Picking JD was genius.

And now the ball is in Mike DeWine's court - will Matt Dolan finally get the Senate seat he's run for twice and failed, or will it be a Trump loyalist?

[GoMuskies]

DeWine kind of hates Trump, doesn't he? Maybe he should appoint Sherrod Brown. I mean, the Republicans have 52. They can lose one.

I am very excited by what he wants to do to the nutrition in our food. Its been a long long long time coming. Why do so many people all of a sudden have such stomach issues and gluten allergies? The additives and pure crap in our food should have been addressed a long time ago.

Isn’t RFK an odd choice for that job since he has no real medical background or experience??

Fine. I nominate Ville. He has experience in the field.

Honestly, as I have gotten older, I’ve realized that medical professionals aren’t all that great. They were just really good at school. In the end, most are just bought and paid for actors that push whatever pharma sales rep tells them to. So, no I really don’t care.

I’d much rather have someone who has experience in sniffing out corruption, and he has a ton of experience in that.
