Larry, Moe & Curly want to upend American Life and Government

[adrina]

Trump’s plan to radically remake government with RFK Jr. and Elon Musk is coming into view​

But there is an equally radical and expansive government reformation plan coming out of Trump’s own mouth, in which heterodox figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be given free rein to “go wild” on the health safety system and Elon Musk would be enabled to, as the tech billionaire said, “start from scratch” with the federal workforce.

“I’m going to let him go wild on the food. I’m going to let him go wild on the medicines,” Trump said during his closing argument rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

Much of what Kennedy pushes sounds positive. His “Make America Healthy Again” PAC promises to focus on “prioritizing regenerative agriculture, preserving natural habitats, and eliminating toxins from our food, water, and air.” But those ideas are short on specifics, and there are personal issues that would impede anyone else from government service.

Kennedy’s own health has also been a concern. He once ate so much tuna and perch that he experienced “severe brain fog” from mercury poisoning, he told The New York Times.

Musk, the superrich Trump supporter, would be given a much wider portfolio than Kennedy and be charged with a massive downsizing of the federal government. It’s an even stickier situation since Musk’s many companies, including SpaceX and Tesla, have a profit-motivated interest in business with the government. The US government currently relies on SpaceX, which also owns the satellite internet provider Starlink.

If there’s any doubt that a Musk government role could be a risk for conflict of interest, simply look at the fact that he has said he could be in charge of the “Department of Government Efficiency.” DOGE is the name of Musk’s cryptocurrency, an area the Trump family is also keen to enter.

So... let's just let chaos reign. Their concepts of a plan for the economic engine that is America will be fine. Right?

What could possibly go wrong...

Cryptocurrency is notoriously intersected with the Dark Web and with human trafficking and other forms of organized crime. I'm just saying....

RFKjr in charge of health safety is the most.ludicrous thing I've ever seen. His position and public comments have directly resulted in kids dying.

 

[SevMax2]

Initially, I was drawn to RFK, Jr. because of his opposition to the cashless economy and his stance on Frankenfoods. However, his anti-vax stance, as I heard more from him, and his selection of a tech mogul who happened to be a big donor, as his running mate, were reason enough to give me some pause. That comment about Ashkenazic Jews and Asians didn't help, either. But what really offended me was when he said what he did about autism, implying that most if not all autistic folks have the worst case scenario version and that the prospect of autism would be reason enough not to vaccinate. As an autistic person myself, that was deeply offensive to me.

His endorsement of Trump hasn't done him any favors with me, either.

Hearsay. What a politician says and what a politician does is rarely the same. President does not have free reign. Checks and balances, ya know.

RFK is a crank. Musk is a Bond supervillain who still has not left behind his roots in Apartheid-era SA.

 

[MajorRewrite]

Musk and RFK Jr are both severe weirdos.

 

[adrina]

In one thread Trump means what he says and tells it like it is. And in the next thread, well politicians rarely mean what they say.

Can't make this shit up.

I wonder if it’s the syphillis or the alcoholism that causes that one to spew such meandering, contradictory drivel???



(That’s about as much serious thought as I ever give anything that one says.)
