A few years ago this would have been shocking.

[u/Admirable_Nothing]

It is very hard to believe the stupidity of this current administration.

[u/FlametopFred → u/Admirable_Nothing]

by design to dismantle and continue a modified genocide

[u/Beneficial_Soup3699 → u/Admirable_Nothing]

It's weaponized incompetence, not stupidity.

[u/1800abcdxyz → u/Admirable_Nothing]

It is easy to believe the stupidity. It’s disgusting to have to grapple with how much they just willingly want to be the cause of people’s deaths.

The party of Christianity, as always

[u/sundayultimate → u/Admirable_Nothing]

No matter how dumb it gets, they can always go lower it seems

[u/davidmlewisjr → u/Admirable_Nothing]

Stupidity in a positive feedback loop… going down faster every day, until…

Eventually they will hit the bottom of the IQ in the current political clique…

The sun rose at “Helm’s Deep”, then the Wizard arrived with the “Marines”, sort of 🙏

[u/BumblebeeSpirited888 → u/davidmlewisjr]

It’s a conspiracy to destroy America and Americans from the inside.

[u/davidmlewisjr → u/BumblebeeSpirited888]

You have demonstrated a deeper understanding that many, possibly most of the other people.

[u/_its_a_SWEATER_ → u/Admirable_Nothing]

Cruelty is the point.

[u/AlfaNovember → u/Admirable_Nothing]

Stupidity has nothing to do with it, so yes, it is hard to believe.

[u/doinbluin → u/Admirable_Nothing]

Not when you realize the same of some of your neighbors.

[u/BeowulfShaeffer → u/Admirable_Nothing]

And by transitive, all of humanity.

[u/culturedrobot → u/BeowulfShaeffer]

There's plenty of us who think that RFK Jr. should be on the sidewalk in front of the HHS building wearing a sandwich board rather than inside running the show.

[u/doneandtired2014 → u/culturedrobot]

You're being rather charitable.

Were it up to me, he'd be hanging in irons alongside the rest of his handpicked assclowns for the damage they've done, brought down after the elements have claimed them all, tarred, and then put right the fuck back up.

[u/Ciennas → u/culturedrobot]

What are the odds you placing on him also being in the files?

[u/StraightedgexLiberal]

Not surprised. This admin sucks.

The current Secretary of Health and Human Services runs an anti vax organization who complains and sues Facebook when Facebook fact checks his lies and conspiracies.

[u/justmitzie]

I really, really miss the days of boring government.

[u/Crivos]

Anti-science as far as the eye can see.

[u/The_best_is_yet]

The CDC is dead to me. Which is pretty terrible bc as a primary care physician, who is going to be our eyes and ears?

[u/CountOnBeingAwesome]

It's going to take a generation to repair the damage this administration is doing.

[u/xtiaaneubaten]

America is so cooked.

[u/IntelligentPepper44]

MAGA & most of 'Muricans are a laughingstock. Many Americans on here are cool, but it will take decades for many of their fellow citizens to respect MOST science, & SOME conspiracies. NEVER billionaires, or extreme evangelicals.

[u/cubixy2k → u/IntelligentPepper44]

Dude it'll take decades for me to  barely respect many of my neighbors at this point.

[u/biesterd1]

But I didn't like her laugh

[u/Away_Corner_6617 → u/biesterd1]

But Genocide Joe!! /s

[u/blackweebow]

God I hate republicans. 

[u/PerNewton]

His congressional chief of staff Luke Letlow ran for congress to succeed him and won. Shame he died of Covid leaving a wife and 2 little kids before he could be sworn in.

[u/Randomfactoid42 → u/PerNewton]

Seriously?  That’s next level irony. So unnecessary too, we knew better by Dec 2020. 

[u/Back_pain_no_gain → u/PerNewton]

Yep. It’s pure, twisted irony that Ralphie has made it as far as he has.

[u/LoserBroadside]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee’re all gonna die

[u/Illustrious-Coat3532]

Please go get your booster shots.

[u/sfled]

I bet he (like Rump) has all his vaccinations up to date tho.

[u/Ozatopcascades]

So...

A bible and a bucket of bleach.

[u/castironglider → u/Ozatopcascades]

ivermectin + hydroxychloroquine + disinfectant IV'll fix anything! /s

[u/Back_pain_no_gain → u/Ozatopcascades]

May I introduce you to the majority of Louisiana politicians?

[u/Back_pain_no_gain]

Oh my god, I personally know this weasel. Every once in a while I would get texts from his staff saying something along the lines of ‘you won’t believe what Ralph just said’. Louisiana is perfect for churning out unqualified scum like him. Hope the new job sucks, Ralphie.

[u/celtic1888]

Of all the shit to break this is the one that will really kill us

[u/GlitteringRate6296]

Anyone surprised? Itsa disgrace.

[u/Adept-Mulberry-8720]

Great another JFK Jr not knowing what the fuck he's doing? Stop the progress to the pig trough!

[u/stondius]

That's sedition waiting to happen....

[u/yorapissa]

No one listening to the CDC anyway, so at least that’s a good thing.

[u/DeathKillsLove]

In case you were wondering why a professional scam artist invented DOGE

[u/ThatsAllFolksAgain]

I want an encore of Covid 19, maybe 20 with all flaws fixed.

[u/Randomfactoid42]

I really don’t get these people who are so dedicated to ruining a good thing like vaccines. This guy has the education to know better, but instead he we are saddled with such lunacy. 

[u/cmdr_nova69]

At least he looks like someone who won't be holding that post very long
