“Scientific orthodoxy” isn’t a thing. Scientists don’t just “believe” things. They experiment, measure, and report the best conclusion their data allows. When medical researchers say that there’s no evidence vaccines cause autism, it’s because there’s no evidence vaccines cause autism.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt is paid.

Ah, yes. The guys who make $75/day cash on the back of landscaping trucks are snapping up all those $600k houses. Yep. Makes sense
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

I don't care what "shocking" emails get released. I maintain my original position.

Nothing is ever going to happen to Trump. Nothing. No-thing. Ev-er.

He will finish his term and die in his bed, happy in the knowledge that he scammed a country, hurt brown people, and made a fortune.

Yes - 50 year mortgages. Brilliant idea. Take on all the property-maintenance and tax obligations of ownership, build up no equity, die with nothing to show for decades of payments, and the bank gets the house back. Brilliant!

Why am I seeing him? It’s not Sunday.
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

This is not a rhetorical question. I’m asking because I don’t know (although I have a suspicion I might).

Has Trump ever called a white man “low IQ?” I don’t mean any generic similar term, I mean specifically “low IQ.”

Does anyone know when Soros will be mailing the checks? Or does he use Venmo?

Does anyone know who Antifa’s HR manager is?

Why in the ever loving F does NO ONE ever ask him what this mental diarrhea means?
Trump: "Drug prices are going to be going down 100%, 400%, 600%, 1,000% in some cases."

Coworker had planned to lease a Tesla. He said a few days ago that he was going to not do so. Nothing to do with politics, he just felt the dealership was jerking him around.

Perfectly fine. One fewer car’s worth of money in Musk’s pocket.

My father served honorably aboard the USS Marias from 1955-57. And he was such a hard core Democrat that when I was little I thought the president's name was "F**king Nixon."
My father had his faults but he was not a little gnat.
Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

Should we start calling right wing extremists “Profa?” Asking for a friend.

At that moment, someone should have said “what exactly is ‘beyond vaccines??’” But we don’t have a functioning press corps fulfilling its fundamental mission of questioning those in power.
Trump: "It's too much liquid. Too many different things are going into that baby at too big a number. The size of this thing when you look at it. It's like 80 different vaccines and beyond vaccines."

Just once…once…one single time, when Trump starts riffing and ad-libbing on a science-related subject and blurts out some nonsense he just made up, can ONE person in the room say “dafuq you talking about?!!?”

I hear Chile and Mongolia have had some border skirmishes lately. Perhaps he can help out there as well.
❗️Trump:We stopped the conflict between Cambodia and Armenia. It was just starting and it was a bad one.

Podcaster is shot, Trump orders flags flown at half staff. Three police officers killed in Pennsylvania. Not a peep.

You should hold a press conference and issue a strongly worded statement.
Donald Trump is ordering Republicans not to even bother talking with Democrats about the budget.

The American people know it would be him shutting the government down.

There are two possibilities:

1. They are so stupid they actually believe this.

2. They think you are so stupid that you’ll actually believe this.
