Take That! Davos Man...
leh-nerd skin-erd replied to The Frankish Reich's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Fact, updated: Comrade Kay likely would never have your baby because she would find your investor class/cabal research apathy off-putting. Plus she could be a he. Who really knows? -

Fact: If you and Comrade Kay had a baby, the child would be Comrade Greta Thunberg-Adams-Reich, and identify as crazy as a June Bug. -
President Elect Donald J. Trump
leh-nerd skin-erd replied to Beast's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Some people live successful lives, make plenty of money but are absolutely clueless when it comes to human nature and the ebbs and flows of society. Of course, you have to credit her and the ladies of The View for keeping his story in front of viewers, and gradually moving from observance to criticism to lunacy. I wonder what percentage of their viewers they pushed to vote for DJT? Btw one of my favorite parts of the election was contemplating a Trump return to the WH, Barrack’s infamous mic drop moment and the realization Trump was chosen exactly the same number of times as he was, and the ladies of The View wondering why they didn’t have more of an impact. Condescension comes at a cost. -
President Elect Donald J. Trump

Why did you drop in on a thread celebrating the presidential election if it was going to make you lash out like this? It was a significant victory, across the board, top to bottom, side to side….but cycles change. -
No, inflation was not the decisive factor: trust, or the inability to trust the democrat party was what changed the playing field. It seems obvious that people rejected the absurd overreach on prosecution, the ridiculous notion of decades long “slippage”, the sketch comedy that Biden was great, the reality that Biden would be forced to resign as a greeter at Walmart, the devastating impact on communities actually dealing with a small version of the border crisis, and Harris’ complete inability to explain issues she had 5 years to prep for. Remember, while you were hoodwinked by the Dems and the MSM, she knew the real story. It’s pretty ironic, really, how badly your Dem party messed this up.

Who will be in trumps cabinet?
leh-nerd skin-erd replied to 4th&long's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
@The Frankish Reich Just getting back to this point to get your feedback. You’ve worked in government, discussed a vetting process I believe every American would hope would represent the gold standard for all administrations, and are uniquely qualified to offer feedback here. What Schumer implies here is pretty dark. He didn’t refer to the legal process, the ability to prosecute or the integrity of the DOJ or Intelligence community. He chose words that certainly can be viewed as sinister. What say you about what say he? -
Dan Bongino: USSS Director?

Question #3 during the interview… “Agent Bongino, when concerned about a sniper at a Presidential rally, would you have anyone watching the roof?” -

I wasn’t aware that Frank was a Cheeseburger Trutherrr. I may have been distracted with Frenkle declaring that to be a completely organic real moment in Chuck’s life while stating the Trump visit to McDonalds may have been staged. -

I have long believed these are amongst the most dark and chilling words uttered by a person operating at the highest level of our government. Of course the dopey bobble-headed talking head let it go, but if this is what passes for how the system is played by those who play it well, I’m perfectly fine with all Tulsi all the time. -

This is a great post Frank, and I would love to believe all the players involved have the integrity to interact/oversee following the spirit and intent of the guidelines. I bet many do, but more than a fair number do not. Sidebar— what you described is what most reasonable people would assume would be the approach to handling classified documents and which clearly does not. Your point on appointees is fair. Maybe some day it gets fixed but none of the critical players who can fix it seem to want to. -
RFK Jr: CONFIRMED Trump 47 HHS Secretary
leh-nerd skin-erd replied to BillsFanNC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Tibsy was originally declared he was a proud Dad-Mom before shortening it a bit. He started telling people he was “…just a proud Dom” and suddenly his kids weren’t getting invited to play dates…. -
I think it’s important to remember the basics: there are good doctors, bad doctors, doctors who inspire, doctors who are lazy, doctors who lie, doctors with integrity, a doctors who can be trusted, doctors who cannot, doctors with moderate political views and doctors who represent the fringe. A sensible approach to taking care of oneself includes a trust but verify approach. Sadly, as the opiod crisis showed us, sometimes that’s not enough. Fergies’s positioning here reminds me of the Seinfeld episode with “The Maestro”.

There are likely some heartbroken family members out there distraught at the notion of not being blessed to hear these folks pontificate on the righteousness of believing in the One True Path as they have divined it. The W Bush angle was pretty interesting, too. I thought I remembered some horrible things said about his character and status as a war criminal, but maybe I’m mixing him up with someone else.

To answer your question, no, it’s not something that bothers me. I tend to stay away from criticism of presidents golfing, on vacation, etc. I do criticize hypocrisy on issues for climate change warriors and massive carbon footprints, and I can understand your perspective here as it relates to AF1 and govt inefficiency. A reasonable compromise between “A president can never travel for personal reasons” and “Abuse of system” is probably fair.

RFK Jr: CONFIRMED Trump 47 HHS Secretary
leh-nerd skin-erd replied to BillsFanNC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I understand that, or at least I did after reading up a bit on the issue. I understand that the SV virus was only in some vaccines from 1955-1963, and the debate (to the extent there is debate) about the link between the virus and cancer. I don't see any attempt by him, here anyway, at applying scientific rigor to the question. I see a guy asking questions about the relationship between a known carcinogen and a vaccine delivered from 1955-1963. I've already shared my feelings on vaccines, but it would not surprise me in the least to discover I had soft tissue cancer and one of the potential causes was a vaccine administered in 1962. I really don't think I'm in the minority there, and taking it one step further, my thought today would probably be, "Oh, well". Settle down, Harvey Specter. -
Yeah but let’s not forget that can create issues with the Netflix account. Next thing you know Melania is on the hot line from Mara Lago trying to watch Lincoln Lawyer, Zelensky on line 2 and sh8t can go south fast.

RFK Jr: CONFIRMED Trump 47 HHS Secretary
leh-nerd skin-erd replied to BillsFanNC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Hey Chi, I’m not a vaccine skeptic. I was in line with my arm out early with COVID (though in retrospect I probably would have passed on it), but get the flu shot, got half a dose of the Shingles shot before procrastinating the season away. My children were vaccinated and I think risk/reward is a reasonable consideration. I think RFK Jr was a bad pick here and we’ll see what happens. However, I did a quick search on this polio vaccine controversy and this is what I found: https://www.factcheck.org/2023/11/scicheck-rfk-jr-incorrectly-denies-past-remarks-on-vaccine-safety-and-effectiveness/ Kennedy: The polio vaccine contained a virus called simian virus 40, SV40. It’s one of the most carcinogenic materials that is known to man. In fact, it’s used now by scientists around the world to induce tumors in rats and guinea pigs in labs. But it was in that vaccine — 98 million people who got that vaccine, and my generation got it, and now you’ve had this explosion of soft tissue cancers in our generation that killed many, many, many, many more people than polio ever did. So if you say to me, “The polio vaccine, was it effective against polio?” I’m going to say, Yes. And if you say to me, “Did it kill more people … did it caused more death than averted?” I would say, “I don’t know, because we don’t have the data on that.” As we’ve explained before, a portion — but not all — of the approximately 100 million Americans vaccinated between 1955 and 1963 for polio received vaccines that were contaminated with SV40. But the virus, which causes cancer in rodents, has not been shown to cause cancer in humans. And there isn’t evidence that people who were vaccinated developed cancer at a higher rate than those who were not. Then, this on SV40: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC452549/ Persuasive evidence now indicates that SV40 is causing infections in humans today and represents an emerging pathogen. A meta-analysis of molecular, pathological, and clinical data from 1,793 cancer patients indicates that there is a significant excess risk of SV40 associated with human primary brain cancers, primary bone cancers, malignant mesothelioma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. What are you seeing on Kennedy’s anti-polio vaxx stance in addition to this? Ironically, my father had polio as a young man and survived, I’m quite grateful he did.
