Protecting his masters
Trump signed an order back in 2019 which mandated the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism. I don't really see how it can be enforced due to their free speech rules in America but anyway, here is the defintion taken from the IHRA website.

  1. Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.
  2. Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective — such as, especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.
  3. Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
  4. Denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust).
  5. Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.
  6. Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.
  7. Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
  8. Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
  9. Using the symbols and images associated with classic antisemitism (e.g., claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel) to characterize Israel or Israelis.
  10. Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.
  11. Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.

Gets better. Removing all teaching around racism from schools but at the same time going hard on antisemitism.

Forgetting semantics around race vs religion - damn stupid.

Only thing I can think of thats more stupid is, after being told time and time again not to eat roadkill because of the protozoa and parasite risk, then eating roadkill, getting a parasite, having it eat a hole in your brain and then deciding to put that dude in charge of Health outcomes for everyone. Now thats seriously stupid.

Thank goodness that will never happen. 8-)

if it doesn’t happen it will be because of corrupt politicians, rfk was presented as running health before the election and they won the election

why is nobody producing any RFK confirmation clips today lol, he was at it again and you should try to produce clips that embarrass him

the funniest thing was the crying democrat woman saying that he is questioning settled science literally 6 seconds after saying science is sometimes wrong

other highlights include a weird democrat wearing glasses on the top of his head who came prepared with a 9/11 square cutout quote prop but did a heartfelt speech about the mid air collision just so he could have a segue ffs

then RFK gave bernie sanders a panic attack by mentioning his pharma money received, it was a very special day

this is what happens when you try to convince the corrupt politicians that you should be let in to end corruption, they get emotional

Bernie had him squirming like the worm that ate his brain yesterday lol.

Tries to claim he is pro vaccine in the hearing while flogging anti-vaxx onesies for infants on his website. What a con artist.

Full quote is useful for context.

“Oh, no, no, no, no. I ran for president like you. I got millions and millions of contributions. They did not come from the executives; not one nickel of PAC money from the pharmaceutical industry. They came from the workers.”

So, not a no, no, no, no, of panic... a no, no, no, no of I can't believe how full of shit you are lol.

Honestly, you've got a bloke steadfastly claiming he supports vaccines in fronty of the hearing while flogging anti-vaxx onesies on his website, and you reckon Bernie is the one leveraging his position for profit.

Trump nominates a bunch of people he wants in important positions (head of healthcare, head of the military, etc) then congress grills them with questions, then they vote to see if the nomination is confirmed.

Mark Rubio (the one Trump called "The Midget") has already been confirmed as Secretary of State. Former Fox News host, wife beater, alcoholic, and possible rapist Pete Hegseth has been confirmed as Secretary of Defence.

The current ones going through the confirmation process are anti-vaxxer RFK Jr for head of Health services, Dictator apologist and probable friend of Putin Tulsi Gabbard for Intel Chief, and conspiracy theorist with no morals Ka$h Patel as head of the FBI.

In each case if all Democrats vote against them, they'll still be nominated unless 4 Republicans vote against them. It's unlikely they will do that as no one wants to piss off Trump.

Funny thing is, if RFK Jr does get rejected it won't be due to his conspiracy theories, or his anti-vaxing, or anything like that. It will be because even though he's now claiming to be anti-abortion, up until a few months ago he was still very pro-abortion. Republicans can't accept anyone that may still be pro-abortion.

ah yeah very convenient situation, lets hold a hearing to access bernie sanders claims

sanders is he politician i would most believe would be against pharma and not receive money, he is the same as rfk, his campaign was derailed by special interests etc

but in the big pharma hour of need, when they need the most help from sanders, he provides that help, bernie sanders didn't attack RFK for being pro choice, he is pro choice himself and should love it and respect RFK for this, he wants to give republicans an excuse to not vote for RFK because they need an excuse other than protecting big pharma

the senate gets to confirm these secretaries, its another check and balance to keep it corrupt, the corrupt decide if someone fighting corruption can come in and fight corruption, although its not over for RFK if they deny it, trump can make it happen anyway VIA a special rule the democrats brought in

nobody wants to piss off big pharma even more

those 2 left wing republicans collins and murkowski are definitely voting against RFK, then there will be just enough republicans to deny him

and its not trump who they don't want to piss off, its the people, trump didn't move to secure RFK a role because he is gay, he knows that 10-20% of the people are devoted to RFK and maybe many more

thats why they will need an excuse like abortion or another republican sounding excuse, the democrats won't need an excuse for denying the most left wing nominee they will ever receive from the republican party because the media will not make that point
