Again I hear a right-wing mouth scorn the left’s use the word “loyalist,” as if it’s supposed to be a synonym for “loyal person” 🤦♂️

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.
In 1965:
-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.
-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.
-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Sub sandwiches? Bah. For a weapons-grade lunch, you can’t beat bologna on Wonder Bread. The symmetry enables a frisbee-style delivery, and no one will be tempted to intercept it and use it for food
