Yes! Absolutely this.

“Stuff in it that we don’t trust.”

Better to be dead than injected with chemicals that might make you autistic? Gay? A liberal? What could possibly be in the vaccines that would be worse than your child no longer existing?

As a parent, I am so angry. How can you look at your child and be more afraid of the lesser outcomes (not that they even exist, but still) and choose death? What a failure of the parents. And shame on every single person in the media that let this bullshit spiral out of control. That poor girl.

We are so fucked.

I didn’t think it was possible to find a more irritating person to listen to than Trump. But this idiot proved me wrong. What a sniveling little evil henchman.

This is just so painful to watch. Embarassing does not even begin to describe it.

Fucking what?

These geniuses are so far up their own assholes that they fully believe their own delusions of grandeur. And the view from way up between those cheeks makes it difficult to see any context. So they just trust one anothers bullshit assertions.

The actions of a man who loves his country and not power? Politicians in the US (on both sides) could never comprehend this.

It’s interesting to see the hate for this pope from both sides. I’ve seen many comments from the atheist perspective, rightfully calling out his protection of child molestors and rapists. And at the same time, read comments from “religious” people excited for his death because he dared to be liberal on a few points.

Damned if you don’t, damned if you do. I guess. /s

Almost like a singular figurehead interpreting ancient texts for application in the modern world doesn’t work.

With Milo (miniminuteman) in the thumbnail, I thought the video was going to imsinuate that his content was part of the alt-right stuff. Was confused and terrified. Happily, that was not the case.

The man just did a Nazi salute while standing behind a podium with the Presidential seal on it at the Inauguration. All bets are off if you are thinking of government as it existed before this moment.

He has enough money to do what he wants. And there are enough idiots around him that believe his bullshit and applaud.

I wish that would affect them. Even just to pause and reflect. They won’t. It hasn’t been about the teachings of Christ for a long time.

Great, let’s just leave it all up to Elon. What could possibly go wrong?

The only thing worse than 2 billionaires leading an unregulated government entity is a single billionaire leading it. Giving Elon completely unchecked power.

Responding because I am also curious about this.

Gotcha.

But, in the off chance that some dickhead defunds the FDA, what do we do?

I already try to grow what I can…but I’m not some trad wife who makes lots of money on instagram showing off how everything I ingest comes from my own land. Don’t have that kind of money or time on my hands. Aside from cooking things to recommended temps and washing/refrigerating things as needed, is there more that can be done on a household level?

Any suggestions on where to begin?

Elon bought Trump, so this isn’t surprising.

Also, it’s clear that Trump just regurgitates whatever slop Elon says because he thinks it will make him look smart.

So glad we are all unwilling participants in this great experiment. Pedestrians will be blamed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time when Tesla cans kill them.

If media conglomerates with millions of dollars don’t stand up to him, how can they expect any of us to do so effectively.

nobody is going to stop you from buying a used 2025 civic in 2035, that’s fine

This is what I meant, cars already in circulation having longer lives. I frankly don’t know anything about used EVs, but plenty of people I know can list reliable gas powered cars that will run for incredibly long times with a little love. We need EVs to be manageable cars of the people that can be maintained at home on a budget and not proprietary dealerships.

It wasn’t my aim to discredit the bill, only to complain that Musk is useless and will line his pockets before actually creating something that is useful for the public.
