A twofer from Mrs. Betty Bowers.

[Swede]

A couple of months ago, the Navy dishonored civil rights hero Harvey Milk by removing his name from a ship.

Now, the Air Force is dishonoring itself by celebrating a domestic terrorist called Ashli Babbitt.

AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.”

REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.”

AMERICA: “It’s video games.”

WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.”

AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.”

WORLD: “God, you’re stupid. It's guns.”

1. K&R

2. Old fashioned DU

3. It' pretty much guaranteed when you see the wreck of the Kennedy family involved, it's insane.

I'm really sorry, Kennedy's! I loved some of your family and admired many. This one must have missed a few childhood vaccines and wellness appointments.

[Hekate]

4. Based on descriptions of his teen behavior by his cousin Caroline & others, I think he's psycho...

I don’t say that lightly. Yes he had childhood trauma, yes he had a brain worm. But Caroline tried to warn us about the sadistic behavior and about the heroin-pushing to his young cousins and sibs.

[Bev54]

5. Don't forget his heroin addiction, that too has likely caused some brain damage with what the brain worm

left behind.

[Hekate]

6. He absolutely should be nowhere near government or public health policy

[canetoad]

7. Damn right Hekate

Imagine - a health secretary installed to "trigger the libs". What could go wrong?

[rubbersole]

9. We're triggered.

[Hekate]

12. Imagine being that sick and twisted -- and that's what we've got

[allegorical oracle]

15. In addition to Caroline's warning, there were some broad hints that he might not be

entirely qualified for his current job: 1) no medical background whatsoever; 2) past drug abuse; 3) dumping a dead bear cub in Central Park; 4) Riding around with a dead whale on the top of his car.

He needs to go away.

[thomski64]

16. ..will no one rid us of this meddlesome..

...dipshit...?

[popsdenver]

18. All of which made him a stellar

candidate for the Trump/Republican administration, much like all the rest of the sub-humans that surround them........

Trump drained the swamp, leaving the pond scum easier to harvest..........

[IzzaNuDay]

19. Another DUI hire.

Ranks up there with Kegsbreath.

[GiqueCee]

17. Trump HAD to know all this...

... and the evil fuck appointed him anyway. In 7+ months he has made precisely ZERO effort to actually help people. He only wants to destroy the country out of infantile vindictiveness, and of course, because Putin told him to. He is clinically insane, and a red-alert danger to America and the world. And from those with the power to rein him in, we hear... crickets.
ALL Republicans must pay for this obscene travesty with their political lives.

[soldierant]

8. No need to apollgize to the rest of the family.

They, to a person, are well aware f what he is. Every single other living Kennedy, from Ethel on down, denounced him in 2024.

Of course, if you mean "I'm sorry" in the sense of "I feel for you," that's perfectly appropriate.

[erronis]

10. That's usually what I mean when I say I'm sorry - empathy. But thanks for the clarification.

[soldierant]

11. I do too. And I'm often misunderstood.

which is why i covered "bot sides".

[BurnDoubt]

20. Me as well.

That Old Fashion Toxic Empathy.
Sadly, Jesus was non-violent.
He seriously needs to slap the shit out of the CINOs (Christians-In-Name-Only).
They've been dragging His Name in the dirt for my whole Life.

[soldierant]

21. I'm 80, so I did have part of my life when they weren't -

or I should say they were trying hard - but hadn't had the success yet which came later.

It's not totally new, though - there's a quote from a French author - some time between the Renaissance and the 1800's, but it really could have been any time in history - which translates to "The flower of evil never blooms so brightly as in the shadow of the altar."

[mopinko]

13. i saw someone speculate he was appointed for the purpose

of destroying the kennedy name. tracks.

[Old Crank]

14. By the last one about Taking Jesus out of classrooms.

I guess the church took Jesus out of the church.
