Absolitely zero chance he will be held accountable for anything.
I’m not so sure, republicans love throwing an occasional patsy into the volcano during election season so they can shift blame and consolidate voting blocks. Rfk was brought in only to consolidate voting blocks. Trump is in control of MAHA loons now, he doesn’t need rfk. He LOVES to pretend to care about children’s health and wants very badly to “solve” autism, so I can easily see him replacing rfk with like Joe Rogan or someone even dumber.
He also loves screwing over potential rivals.
Is RFK junior really going to run? He doesn't seem like a serious contender.
He wasn’t a contender last time he ran, he did so specifically because Trump needed the extremist “health” conspiracy type people to win his election, and Trump promised rfk an important position if he dropped out and backed trump. It’s a very common move among power and money seekers to run if they think they can gain at least a few percentage points of the electorate. That means they can swing elections either way, especially in today’s environment where most critical elections come down to a few percentage points, and more and more commonly a few votes on the local level.
These monsters all think they are great.
I fully expect them all to compete for the role once Trump moved on.
True. We don't usually see "criminal probe", and a call for ouster. Just an inquiry or a hearing.
The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round.
That's my bet with my friends made about a year ago. I bet not one of the fuckers from rump's cabinet or rump himself will face any consequences within 10 years...9 years now. I want to pay my friends money. Fuck.
If lying to the senate was a thing that mattered this entire administration would be in prison already.
It wasn’t me it was wormy
Hey, dont't bring Wormy into this! He did his best
THAT... THING ATE WORMY!
That guy lies pretty much every time he moves his mouth. Also, killing children is pretty much the natural outcome of conservative beliefs and policies.
This was obvious to everyone at the time of his confirmation hearing.
He PrOmIsEd he wouldn't go after vaccines!!!
Can he just die (by some extinct virus that is totally preventable by vaccines) already
No because he has all his vaccines. He just spews vaccine rumors but then gets his shots.
Just about all of these quacks who made it to adulthood to spout this nonsense did have their vaccines.
They just have massive amounts of cognitive dissonance on their side.
So has EVERYONE that has been part of this administration that has been brought before the Senate. This is no longer a big deal, it's fucking Tuesday.
I thought lying was his job.
I don't know if he lied, I never hear what he says because as soon as he opens his mouth I hear nails over a chalkboard and I turn off what I was watching to prevent my ears from bleeding.
This is a Trump administration. It's basically a requirement of the job.
I'm shocked I tell you. Shocked. Animal penis collector is a liar?
Well, not that shocked...
We knew all this years ago, why did it have to wait over a year to "come out"?
Ok, so what?
Semi-related, how did those nurses mix up muscle relaxer with an MMR vaccine? Do we have info about how this measles outbreak in Samoa started?
Maybe similar containers and exhausted nurses?
I can't imagine their pain:

We have a reasonable guess:

Humanity sees evil and covers its eyes and ears.
So has every senator.
