My husband’s response…For taking it in the rear?
mnort.bsky.social (@mnort.bsky.social)
Clearly one of the most bizarre statements I’ve read…today
mnort.bsky.social (@mnort.bsky.social)
While these people twist themselves into knots trying to justify his absolute craziness, people will suffer. Then they will do the same to explain the coming tragedies. I don’t think there is a bottom.

If they have taken resources away from monitoring the internet for potential school shootings and other crimes, this needs to be a big story. It seems like they have diverted resources to pet projects like immigration.

I’m sorry but if you vote to destroy us and then regret it, the solution is to admit you messed up, not leave the game. This is so weak.

Do you have questions about the near-future and COVID vaccination access? (I do.) Fortunately for us, my colleague @meghanbartels.bsky.social has answers. I'm so grateful for the information she pulled together in this article. www.scientificamerican.com/article/who-...

I’ve been waiting for people to hold him responsible and I hope he receives a lot of attention until he does what he said he was going to do and since RFK broke his promises then get rid of him! He is ruining our healthcare system!

We need to wake up. Vaccines are good and people should realize that taking them away will harm our economy. RFK jr needs to fired

Dr. Demetre, in his resignation from the CDC, said this: “I have never experienced such radical non-transparency, nor have I seen such unskilled manipulation of data to achieve a political end rather than the good of the American people”. It is an outrage that RFK Jr. remains as head of HHS.

mnort.bsky.social (@mnort.bsky.social) reply parent
Definitely, but a better solution is to fire RFK jr, admit that he was a huge mistake and beg people to come back to their jobs and then hire someone with an actual medical background. I won’t hold my breath.

On Labor Day weekend, these National Guard members should be with their families at home, not doing chores in DC.

My figures are wrong: it's a quarter as much.
Dave Vetter (@davidrvetter.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
One important point is that it would cost about a third as much to house and feed every homeless person in DC as it is costing to keep the National Guard there, but of course that would be radical craziness.

In most cases, their employers are not paying them. SOME employers will make up the difference, but this is rare.

Don't forget that these Guard members have day jobs they are being called away from for this "emergency". Their employers are paying them to be away from their jobs to spread mulch and pick up trash.

It’s like if the news has anything else to cover, these shootings don’t get covered. Prime example is the CDC shooting, it barely got covered. Several universities have had bomb threats this fall. I think it’s going to be a bad school year for this stuff. We are in a bad place.

He is going to keep saying this unless reporters counter by saying that Russia has mail in vote and voting by internet as well if the report I saw was true. Does he think Russia has fraudulent elections because of mail votes? They should ask him.

I think he wants land and then in a few years start it up again. Europe knows this even if our President doesn’t. We can be a pariah or part of the free world.
mnort.bsky.social (@mnort.bsky.social) reply parent
I do see a benefit in world leaders intervening and saying no to his capitulation. It at least shows that he is out on a limb by himself and maybe that helps change some minds. I hope they say no giving up land and that they will band together to provide whatever Ukraine needs.

When he talked about Epstein poll he was referring to a poll that asked what is the most Important issue today. I think people wouldn’t consider it the most important in that everything else is also a disaster
