For non-Americans: I needed a translator for the acronyms
Literal Meaning:
RFK = Robert F. Kennedy Jr
HHS = Department of Health and Human Services
Meaning (my guess): A head of public health who will end up gutting health measures for the public so they get sick and have to spend more money in the private sector.
Am I close?
20·9 days agoBernie Sanders hasn’t achieved anything in his entire useless life.
Look up his legislative record
They don’t work with a coalition to pass law,
Yeah, lets look up some stuff.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders#Legislation
In 2005, Rolling Stone called Sanders the “amendment king” for his ability to get more roll call amendments passed than any other congressman during the period since 1995, when Congress was entirely under Republican control. Being an independent allowed him to form coalitions across party lines
Instead they are normalized
Normalised to what? This doesn’t help.
Each point on the graph is divided by the highest point, 100
There we go. So a spike could be 1 person, or millions of people.
111·10 days agoTrump: “I stopped the genocide.”
Us: “You made the genocide worse!”
Trump: “Worse? Or better?”

2·11 days agoOh no, I never said that they are only separable by time.You may not have said it, but you typed it. Lets look at the replay.And you can equate religions and cults because the only difference between the two is time.It can’t only be time that transforms the one into the other
I agree with you here.
Ashli Babbitt got shot full on by the secret service
Ashli Babbitt isn’t an example of the USSS taking down a threat. Your source claims:
she was shot in the left shoulder by a United States Capitol Police (USCP) officer.
The USCP isn’t the USSS (by my understanding, which is based on Wiki). I understand that the USSS were present at Jan 6 though, so your point stands.
Religion, cults and sects are as concepts interconnected.
Oh, for sure. These ideas are related, but to claim that they are only separable by time is disingenuous.
And you can equate religions and cults because the only difference between the two is time.
There is more difference than time. Cults require a charismatic, authoritarian leader, religions do not. One can be religious and autonomous in practice.
Religions can be open source and decentralised, cults cannot.
Nah, you’re right to have pointed it out, especially because of the circumstances. No distress here. ☮
Whoops, genuinely didn’t mean to.
“There is no evidence that Bezos favors Trump. Apart from the fact that Bezos favors what Trump supports.”
My brother in Christ, do you read what you write?
Source? I want to read that story and have a laugh.
Edit: I couldn’t find a case where the USSS took on trespassers. I can only find preventative measures.

Fellas, is it gay to want a woman that wants you?
Idk what it is about masculinity that loves submissive women
That’s insecure masculinity. Men who are secure don’t need a woman to be submissive. She will be with him by her own volition because she feels safe with him.
Follow the money.
81·19 days agoTherapy is maintenance (at the very least). If you haven’t ever been to therapy, you’re driving around without an oil change.
I ain’t saying it’s easy. Sometimes it’s simple, but simple doesn’t mean easy.
Yes, because there are ways to avoid and navigate major depression. Better to learn them in times of peace than in the middle of war.
8·22 days agoOnline dating is essentially a startup pitch. You spend weeks reviewing ‘applications,’ then finally meet for an in-person ‘investor meeting’ to discuss potential ‘synergies.’ If things go well, you can initiate a merger, but if the market shifts—aka they’re not into your favorite TV shows—you’ll quietly dissolve the partnership and move on to the next opportunity.
The article claims “in droves” then doesn’t give a number, or even an estimate.
