Shame on EVERY GOP Senator who knew Kennedy was unqualified and an unserious nominee. This was preventable if they weren’t such cowards. They own all of this

Like everyone is some sort of experiment?
Spineless
"I don't have any free will of my own so I figured I'd listen to the doctor guy and just blame him later." It's so funny that the party of 'pErSoNaL aCcOUnTaBiLiTy" has a bunch of people who refuse to take any for themselves. Blaming everyone for themselves for their actions.
Jesus Christ Kennedy is unqualified. How can this ass play guessing games with public health.
So now we see how it is playing out and they are doing . . . ? The answer is . . . nothing. The one mystery in all of this for me is where is Big Pharma? You'd think with its deep pockets and lobby army they would have stopped all of this. I guess cowards will be cowards.
We are living in the stupidest of times
You were hijacked, weren’t you?
the tried-and-true tactic of "what the fuck, why not"
“The main reason we didn’t make any attempts to stop the train from running off a cliff was we thought we’d see how it played out.”
So this asshole is blaming his vote to confirm on someone else? The party of personal responsibility!
“Mistakes were made.“ These quislings won’t take any personal responsibility for anything.
Why didn’t they bring up heroin use during the confirmation hearings? That should have been a no go for everyone. Maybe he didn’t inhale?
How did these dumbfucks think it would play out?? Nothing says great healthcare like a heroin addict sounds like he chews gravel and is a conspiracy nutjob!!! I mean geeezus on what planet does that play out good? You put all our lives in danger!!
Cowards! Every last one of them.
Passing the buck. Everyone, everyone, knew Kennedy is a nut.
A functional Congress would never allow his bullshit tariffs, a functional Senate would have stopped 90% of his cabinet, and a functional Supreme Court would never have given him immunity and would be a sacred barrier ending dozens of his constitutional actions and affirming lower courts.
So much broken, so much to rebuild.
Typical of a North Carolina republican!
Senator Cassidy broke his oath as a medical professional.
If the HHS under Kennedy is not about science or saving lives then what is their agenda ? Let’s remember the death rate under Trump during Covid.
And the main reason he supported Hegseth was because it's 'important to support the president's agenda'. Never thinks for himself. Should stay home and send a rubber stamp to the office.
A total abdication and dereliction of duty by the US Congress. RFK Jr. needs to be removed. Now. Otherwise countless Americans will die because of him.
He voted for him because he is afraid of Donald, and he is weak. He and Cassidy did a terrible thing. People will die.
If RFK Jr's last name wasn't Kennedy than nobody would listen to him
We’re dealing with a bunch of lazy fucking idiots
So, how’s it going so far?
Is this THE dumbest reason ever given… to vote for someone who is CLEARLY UNQUALIFIED for a Cabinet post with THIS level of impact and importance? That’s like putting Gomer Pyle* in charge of military intelligence. (In other words - a REALLY BAD idea.) *you kids need to Google this reference
I would not put Gomer Pyle in charge of anything, though he'd probably be a better Cabinet pick than any we have right now. But he was such a good person, and do you remember this moment? Gomer had that funny tenor voice, but Jim Nabors could sing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Jkk...
LOL. Those two dickheads aren’t capable of feeling shame.
How’s it playing out?
These people are all in advanced stages of dementia and idiocy. Why do we not have a mandatory retirement age? Obviously they're done.
It's very embarrassing that our Congress is filled with so many people who are so weak. They knew Kennedy was incompetent, but they were too weak to stand up to tRump!
The finger-pointing is underway
Disgusted by them then, and enraged about them now. Do your jobs Senators. It’s really not that hard.
My favorite post in a while, thanks, well said.
Considering his past dumb stances on everything, the rest of us, who had an iota of common sense, knew how it was going to play out without playing Russian roulette… 😑
Passin the 💵? Shocker.
Republican senators and congressmen are the lowest of the low. I say this as a former Republican. They have zero principles, merely a will to power.
I’m so tired of hearing MAGA men feeling emasculated! With every opportunity to provide the rest of us wrong, you manage cut-off your own balls!
Cassidy will bear the destruction this man is causing to our nation’s healthcare system. Whoever thought he was qualified must have a brain worm.
What a shitty excuse You are a grown man If Cassidy told you to jump off a bridge would you listen? You moron
STFU Thom!! You did nothing for our state! Your legacy will be as an enabler to a dementia addled felon with a kink for cruelty and little girls. Thanks for gift wrapping the whole country and handing us over to tRump and the likes of RFKJr.
RFK should be in control of ONLY the dumb fucks that confirmed him. Let's see how that plays out.
So is Cassidy’s fault. 😂😂😂 Anyone that has young children can see through this one. A grown man. How pathetic.
Shame on all that confirmed him.
Scummy republican will cost American lives because it can't do the job even if it cared to try.
Will any of these cowards ever take responsibility for their actions? Not a chance.
"It was Billy's fault! He told me to!" Every last one of them are incompetent children. The oligarchs need people they can manipulate and intimidate, so that's who they give their money.
Terrible choices all in service of dear leader who knows nothing about anything.
All this man is telling me is that he does not care about the people whose lives he is toying with because they are not his own.
You forgot to mention his brain worm.
Unimaginable! I truly cannot believe where we are as Americans. I’m not giving up, but holy shit, we have years of intellectual dominance being tossed into the fire because of “woke”. Fuck this shit!
MAGA is destroying our effective blend of democracy and technocracy, where our politicians rule under the law while our best workers are on the job. Who would want their family to be threatened like Anthony Fauci's? And Trump pulled Fauci's security! Who would want their spouse's head bashed in?
I can’t believe he’d think explaining it that way would absolve him of his bad decision.
It makes him a even weaker little male.
Does tillis think for himself How lame.
It's all a fucking game to them.
Knowing all they did prior to confirmation, I'm glad these senators took Cassidy's advice to "let it play out". I think it was pretty obvious how this was going to play out but, hey, I don't have the brains or intuition of a US Senator.
Maybe failed doctors are a bad bet for politics! I give you Dr. Rand Paul and Dr. Bill Cassidy, abysmal doctors turned politician. Certainly no qualified doctor would risk radical unproven changes to national health care by suggesting we wait and see how it plays out. Lousy doctors, worse senators.
What's the matter Willis, couldn't think for yourself?
Idiots
Deviant druggie is running the US health agency, idiots want to see “how it plays out”
Jesus... Talk about passing the buck. People will die because the buck never got there.
Congress can take control back any time. Rs might be able to save a bunch of their seats next year if they do it now. If they don’t, next Nov is a well-deserved bloodbath.
Tillis taking the equivalent of “I was only following orders” route. The GOP senate and house members have failed their fiduciary duty to their constituents in their “following orders” of the project 2025 and bloated oaf. We’ll see how history plays out.
Dopes!
This was absolute cowardice. Kennedy didn’t want to vote no because he knew Trump would crucify him. He chose to go against decades of medical training to avoid criticism. Kennedy’s license should be pulled, assuming he kept his updated.
They supported Kennedy to kiss Trump's butt and, now that they've seen it playing out, they're just kissing it harder.
Is it possible to be this ignorant? To play with human lives? ”See how it plays out” It’s sickening. They all deserve brain worms
Where are the journalists who went after the accusations about Biden like dogs on a bone - how about some digging in to RFK Jr's health and behavior issues the same way?
Ridiculous. Do they not understand the seriousness of their decisions.
Whoa! What a couple of wussies. WUSSIES! WUSSIES!
WORD OF THE DAY "Genocide" The deliberate killing or causing severe harm to a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. >Intent to destroy or eliminate >Causing serious bodily or mental harm >Inflicting destructive living conditions >Preventing births, forcibly taking children
Yeah right, we all know the reason for Tillis. Cassidy was a big disappointment though as he is a doctor who believes in vaccines and was one of the few Repubs who voted for impeachment. Let what little piece of conscience left eat away at both of them every waking moment for the rest of thei lives
A pathetic little man blames his actions on a pathetic little doctor who voted for someone, who he knew was anti vaxx and full of shit.
