RFK Jr. is bringing back contagious diseases.

Just one example of how "American exceptionalism" is freaking meaningless today. RFK Jr. is exactly the type of unqualified buffoon who wouldn't have made it out of committee in his dad's day.

Remember when the Senate actually did its job, to the extent that people MORE qualified than the current clown car got rejected, for example Douglas Ginsburg for smoking weed in college or John Tower for booze n' babes? Today's Senate is just a rubber stamp.
