What education, qualifications, experience and/or expertise does this clown have? As far as I know, the only thing he knows about "pharma" would have come from his heroin use.

He said a bunch of shit that the country's most fearful and illiterate people loved to hear, he validated the fringe conspiracy theorists which breeds a kind of obsessive love that you can't buy with all the campaign money in the world, so Trump tapped him to keep pied-piper'ing the segments of rats who would vote for having a live porcupine stuffed down their pants if it meant validating the ONE topic that scares them the most. In this case, "mainstream science."

Yeah, these are the sister-fuckers that BOOED their god-emperor Taco when he bragged about the vaccines (that he had next to nothing to do with - if anything we should be thanking Obama).

Because Taco is such a goddamned pussy, he backed off supporting the vaccines.

Nah it's just he knows it doesn't matter now. Nobody in the base he's trying to hold onto looks into the past in any capacity. It's done and over. It's a new narrative now.

Trump and his "people" could start throwing babies in wood chippers on the white-house lawn today, and in 6 months they will say it never happened and their base will purge it from their memories like ballast and never revisit it. We are still underestimating how stupid a good 30% of the country is, and how moderately stupid the rest are.

The right is celebrating Trump and RFK Jr. right now. I wish we didn't have so much "satisfaction porn" being circulated on social media highlighting how stupid Trump and RFK are, and showed more how unopposed they are. I swear a good 90% of the left in this country still thinks we're scoring points and that any day now, it's going to reach a point where someone is going to "do something."

Someone diagnosed him as being ASD at some point in his life and he's still mad about it because internalised ableism

No one's that determined to bash autism unless they're hiding a tism or two

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

If he just acknowledged his damned tisms he'd be able to get rid of the fucking rage trigger instead of taking it out on government policy in angry confusion
