correct take

The Atlantic has been spewing health misinformation for years. www.respectfulinsolence.com/2020/03/16/r...

While I mostly enjoy @theatlantic.com their execrable sanewashing staff is unbearable

They want a body count. They really, really want it.

Mr. Sinker nails it! Stop with the bullshit.

THANK you Dan.

I actually think that's the point of that statement. Obviously somebody who tore something down isn't motivated to build it back up.

They're voting to not get primaried. They're voting to ensure that the credible death threats against themselves and their families don't get carried out. None of this voting has anything to do with our institutions or the people of this country

They want us all dead, that way the don’t have to do it!

"By pulling the trigger a third time, the killer is taking a huge gamble - that, unlike the previous two bullets, this third one will be a blank or a dud. Let's hope he's right..."

Amen!

The plan..Fire the cancer researcher and hire Dave from maintenance at the Ft. Worth Target store. Multiply that by thousands of employees across all Federal depts. Oh, BTW, that’s after they take the Trump oath.

Nah, they'll make us pay for it.

As part of the dismantling of our entire federal government.

Absolutely. They’re not here to tinker and reform. They are looking to tear it all down. RFK will be a figurehead. Project 2025 hatchet men will be doing the real work.

Republicans in Congress are just bowing to Trump. That is all. They don’t give a crap about policy or issues. If Trump nominated the neighbor’s dog to HHS they would confirm him

MAGA delenda est #magadelendaest

Are we sure that worm is dead? Is it possible that it's driving that fucking shitbag?

#resist that's what

The "huge gamble" is that they won't be able to privatize the health crisis fast enough with an absolute nutcase as head of HHS. They want us sick, poor, stupid, and scared so they can privatize our entire lives and slap brand labels on our right to live.

The Atlantic is trying to give Senators an “out”. Most are jist Cowards.

It's been the stated policy of the GOP to kill the government for at least forty years, and writers like this keep pretending they don't know it.

More like Dickless Dorko

Let's also for good measure invoke the spirit of Thomas Clement Douglas... But that's just my Canadian showing.

It’s not just the public health system it is the entire health system at risk

Pretty much do the opposite of what he says

100%. This is a hopelessly naive take. Republican senators are just tying to save their political asses from the wrath of Trump and the money of Musk. They know that Trump’s agenda is just to break things and dominate for corrupt purposes. They are spineless.

The dollar has been optioned

CIA magazine

It appears more like they are doing it because the other side does not want it. Ya know, pwn the libs. And they have done this without any consideration of the status of our health system.

Yeah, and the people are doing nothing about it…. Reminds me of Russia and Putin 20 years ago…

Totally this! It's a classist thing as well. They totally think that this disease is something that only affects the weaker underclass, and that a lack of healthcare will just cull these folks out.

Legacy media’s been failing us for years and worse than ever since at least a year ago. I expect better from the Atlantic, but I’m so tired of the “let’s play dumb” antics.

My take on this is his supporters want this, they voted for him to do exactly this and they are getting what they voted for. As frustrating as it is, we have to let things play out.

They do know what they are doing... The absolute easiest thing possible. Congress is now teeming with individuals that want the high profile, but not the responsibility, of the office. And they are willing to hand over their power to ensure they keep what they want. Reality TV governance.

Probably because it’s author and intended audience wont be effected, or at least effected much, by this disaster in progress. 3/4 of these pieces seem to always be so far removed from the actual hellish reality, I have to believe it’s not a bug but a feature.

Not just me is pretty

Give me your phone number and lets roll

Yep bsky.app/profile/real...

Thanks for this article. I hadn’t seen it. What a bunch of crybabies. Do they remember Mitch McConnell basically ran the place from the minority under Obama?

Note to self: skip anything written by Florko.

lets hope he follows in his father’s footsteps

They need to keep the act up long enough for the tax cuts. Then you act will drop. They think they can stop anything after that…

It just bugs me that reporters are not asking them why, or pushing back. It’s insulting. Let me interview them…

Exactly. It's the deliberate destruction and looting of the US. It's also the death of democracy and millions of Americans. It will become a genocide.

As with Covid, the whole key is not to trigger panic in the populace.* That's most important. That's what the media tells itself. They'd rather people die calmly and respectfully. *The myth of mass panic is something media has promoted for years.

What public health system?

good luck! Americans.

I’ve said that all along. They want us dead by starvation or disease.

🤬 I fear for the children and the elderly. They will be affected disproportionately.

What now? 🦠

Agreed. They are not making some "gamble." They are doing the politically expedient thing that protects the politician voting for him. That's the best case. The worst case is that they want death and destruction. My personal opinion is that the R party is largely a death cult.

Theodoric of York. We need him more now than ever. youtu.be/edIi6hYpUoQ?...

Might say it’s gone . . . Never mind

It’s a good post Dan

When you’re right, you’re right.

I swear to God, when are MSM gonna get that there is no irony in these people. Visigoths, Vandals, future kings of their own little technologically dependent fiefdoms of people grow their fucking food..they don't care if we live bc women will be forced to breed more labor. Electrified 500 BC

I don’t know if I agree with you but the outcome is the same which is all that really matters

You are amazing too.

There's a hell of a lot more of us than there are them.

They can't commit genocide the old-fashioned way so they're doing it by depriving people of things they need and hoping the black and brown people die first. If a few poor whites die with them, it's an acceptable loss.

-Looks over at stack of insured 5000 dollar 2 mile ambulance ride bills- Yeah everythings fine here. Public Health is doing well.

Now we wait on the next global pandemic. trump pulled the USA out of WHO and stopped all research on vaccines, cancer and everything else from what I understand. It’s going to be devastating.

The Atlantic is not playacting. They're collaborating.

Just the Atlantic, providing cover for fascists like every every other day of the week

How long will we even know the impact: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Now what?

I might argue it is less than that. The majority of R. Congress people probably don't care one way or the other. Their only want is to make Trump happy.

They said this was the plan. They said it in 2015. It's not rocket science.

"the only role for government is to protect it's people from..." something something

THANK YOU! It’s so transparent and exhausting.

It's because the Atlantic is run by crypto fascists

True enough. When someone bloodies our collective nose, we have a long history of reacting swiftly, violently, and completely out of proportion to whatever was done to us.

I have been thinking there is a lot of WWII history we need to relearn

It... might. We may be looking like Northern Ireland for a couple generations.

Revolutions against a native government rather than an occupying one are never quick or clean. An occupier can be made to pick up stakes and go home when things get bad enough, but a native government will feel as though its back is against the wall and fight back a lot longer.

These were the people who got tired of the smart people showing them up with their intelligence. They want to show they know better and the scary part is that they actually think that they do.

What fears me most is he says he wants get rid of chronic disease. How does he plan to do that, with cures or just kill those of us with chronic disease? Type 1 diabetes since 1963 here. I've survived healthy for 61 years, only to fear my demise now.

When you vote to put a fox in charge of the henhouse you know exactly what's going to happen. Full stop.

Yup! Back to the Dark Ages when medicine was based on superstition, religion, leaches, bloodletting, herbal remedies, chanting and holes were drilled into skulls to release evil spirits. America is truly being made great again. Buyers remorse yet?

At this point I’m hoping that if a bunch of Nazis come for me….they kill me before they rape my body. I can wear a mask. Have all my shots. Did my best to prepare for this. But still…..

Why do Republicans want to kill us?
