OOTB's Political Thread . ..

Tell it to RFK

did RFK post here? I'm telling you, in direct reply to your post. Pesticides are helpful...but misused.

If you tried to suddenly ditch unprocessed food we'd likely have a financial shock, followed by something like a famine.

Let's see, who was it said that whatever needed to be done, be done 'in a phased, smart manner' ? Oh yeah, that was you calling for the banning of pesticides. Wouldn't you think that anything of import needs to be done this way, and not like Biden getting out of Afghanistan? That's what I think anyway, which is why I said nothing about 'ditching unprocessed foods suddenly'......or even at all, at least not entirely.

One thing I'm convinced that needs to happen though is getting so much sugar out of everything. That could happen immediately AFAIC.

I also agree with your take here on trans surgeries.

You really don't know how military actions/inactions/policy and intelligence gathering/relationships can **** up stuff long term? For example, we do something to piss off our allies in the intelligence community and they stop sharing intelligence. You think you can just flip a switch and fix that?

Oh, I know! I was asking what YOU were referring to! Thank you for the detail.

 

[bluetoe]

I'm not complaining. I think it's hilarious.

OK, just redefine 'complaint' to mean 'hilarity'. We first define our terms, right? Let's try again.....

crazy isn't it? They shove the trans in our faces non-stop and then find it hilarious that we focus on the trans.

That better? Do you think that makes you sound more sane? It doesn't.

I'm just going to assume this is just a bad joke, because you have proven in the past that you're smart enough to know the actual issue.

But self-regulation + massive profits is a prob.

self-regulation could be a problem, but I'm not sure where we introduced the notion of self-regulation. I may have missed it. What I had in mind was gov. regulation, but on the up and up..

Massive profits is only a problem for commies. Massive profits fund massive research which saves lives and improves Q of L. Saving lives is kinda neat, huh?

It has nothing to do with sanity. Sanity is hardly universal/objective. Redefine whatever you want. I still think it's funny... and, mostly, sorta pathetic... that trans people pose such a threat to people like you. You still get to be the same old bigot that you are, and rail at them until you finally keel over.

Aren't you looking forward to the war in Gaza ending, the Ukraine war ending, and all of the other wars ending... before he even gets inaugurated? Not to mention, the concepts of plans.

I would love for Israel to finish them, so we don't have to worry about it. And if Russia can go back to making decent vodka and stop invading countries for no reason that would be great. If Trump can somehow do that, then I would say well done. But he can't do that regardless of what some believe.

So you believe a year from now that there is no resolution in either situation?

Maybe he can. He says he can. He says he WILL do it.

I really don't know much about his appointees for intelligence offices. I know Tulsi Gabbard, but I don't know if she's qualified for that office. He will have very loyal folks around him this time.

If America gets kicked to the curb, and left out in the cold (I need more cliches)... then, Americans are to blame. They voted for him, they got a GOP-led everything. So, I'm looking forward to inflation disappearing, tariffs bringing vitality back the the US Economy, gas at $1 a gallon, all the global fighting to finally end. We get to pick all our own fruit, and have all the menial jobs that no one wants to do, go unfilled... that will lead to great economic prosperity. And, no more dogs and cats being eaten! 25 million wetbacks get sent wet-back-packing.

Well, as far as Ukraine goes, my definition of resolution is for Russia to go back home with no gains. So, I don't believe that will be over. As far as Gaza goes, I'm not sure. It depends on how fast Israel can get rid of them and how much more Iran gets involved. I have no doubt it will be up to Israel when it ends. Not Trump. But it would be great if he could. I would be extremely happy watching Putin fall on his face and a couple of terrorists groups wiped off the map.

Wasn't ignoring you, just had one of those days. And, on a Friday evening, I just don't have the energy to go back and dig through/respond to each specific comment. I'll just say that I think it's a good thing to have someone involved who is openly speaking about some of the dirty little secrets from a health standpoint. Couple of things to hit.

You say that RFK "walks and talks like someone anti-vaxx" which sounds like another poster (former????) here who's favorite phrases were claiming someone was a crotch remora and then completely mischaracterizing what was said by prefacing it by saying "sounds like". RFK has repeatedly said that he is not anti-vax. Rather, he says that he is pro vax choice and that he is pro safe vax. You say things like there is absolutely no connection between autism rates skyrocketing and vaccines, but just exactly how do you know that? Because someone from pharm or the government told us so? Something is causing it along with a host of other issues medically speaking and that needs to be determined whether it is vaccines or something else. I got vaccines, my kids got vaccines, and so far the grandbaby has gotten what has been recommended. The fear is whether or not those "recommendations" are the best advice. Forgive me if I don't exactly trust the same people saying this who told us that the ouuchi would keep us from getting covid and that young people who basically didn't get or have any impact whatsoever (statistically) from covid needed, cha-ching, to be vaxxed - repeatedly. How many boosters are you up to at this point? IF you'll be honest, I bet you stopped them like everyone else. WHY? They are STILL recommended.

That's the problem with a bunch of vaccines. If you look at the list of vaccines that we got as kids and the list now, it's crazy. I'm out of my depth here, admittedly, but there are some obvious issues. Why are we giving newborns things like Hepatis B vax? In large part, it's spread by sex and needles, but newborns are getting vaxxed? That recommendation didn't start until 1991 I think. Do you remember your friends having an epidemic of Hep B growing up? Neither do I, but, cha-ching. Just makes no sense to give stuff to babies that can wait even if there is a real value to it over the long term from an entire life standpoint. But, cha-ching.

One more thing. You'll be shocked by me being a fan of Ronnie Raygun. But he was far from perfect. How on earth he passed immunity for vaccines is beyond me. Lastly, what happened to the guy who was on Obama the God's short list for FDA? Did he only become a nut after he decided Trump was relatively better than KH?

Gonna get some supper and get ready for the game at 8:00. Enjoy.
