if you are a US citizen doing nothing illegal the people sneering/screaming/scolding that you shouldn't do this are confusing their own mental illness with Opsec.

We cannot let RFK Jr’s warped view of the world dictate our future. What he has done by cutting funding to mRNA vaccine research is insane and very very wrong. It's crucial that we seize the opportunity to develop vaccines that have the potential to cure cancer for God's sake!

Pete Hegseth had a chance to own it - for once to be a stand-up guy and accept responsibility and apologize to the American people. But instead, he chose to go in front of the cameras and tell blatant, obvious lies. But Trump doesn’t care - he does that hundreds of times a day.
