Today Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is before the Senate Finance Committee.  Tomorrow he will appear before the Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee.  Assuming those two committees (with their Republican majority of sycophantic Trump rear-end kissers) approve him, he’ll then appear before the entire Senate for a confirmation vote.

While the partisan abortion that was Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hints at what might happen (Notice that Hegseth is right there behind Kennedy in the picture – nutcases hang together, right?), David Corn has written an illuminating article that lays out in stark, clear English what an unfathomable catastrophe confirming this guy will be.  Here’s a teaser that should indicate why you need to read the entire piece:

The media has failed the public on a crucial matter: the derangement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Often he is described in news reports as a vaccine skeptic, when he is far more than that. He is an extreme vaccine opponent. And he has lied about this, saying he has “never been anti-vaxx,” though he recently declared, “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” He still promotes the debunked notion that vaccines cause autism. In May 2021, he petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to stop the use of all Covid vaccines. He proclaimed it “the deadliest vaccine ever made”—though these vaccines were estimated to have saved 20 million lives globally in the first year of their use. His anti-vaccine advocacy also played a role in a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa in 2019 that killed scores of children, and this, too, he has lied about.

Another liar, nutcase, MAGA(t) universe, ass kisser that Trump has surrounded himself with?  Yet one more executive branch wannabe that is almost completely devoid of any character?  The old cliche’ that says “You are known by the company you keep?”  Look at the cesspool that’s filling up the White House.  An anti-vaxx nut joins the wife-beating drunk, the dog-shooting femme fatale, assorted hedge fund and corporate raider money grubbers, former member of Congress whose claim to fame is her willingness to toady to Vladimir Putin… and of course, let’s not forget for a moment “LITTLE Marco” who decided that kissing the Trumpster’s voluminous derrière was the appropriate way to respond to his derision?

I can smell our newly forming Executive Branch’s stink from 371 miles away.
