Robert F Kennedy. He hasn’t changed much.
at the moment is on C Span with these idiot confirmation hearings for Trump’s nominees for various departments. Yesterday it was RFK’s turn to sit down and listen to some of the stupidest people on the planet asking him stupid “gotcha” questions and generally displaying to all and sundry how deadly brain damaging progressive thought processes are. At one point Bernie Sanders had his turn and I had to agree with him (as did RFK) that the costs of medical care in this county are ridiculously high.
They clearly are, and only a fool would think otherwise. This was all going nicely until Bernie blurted out that he believed climate change was an existential health threat and that Kennedy should bend the knee and declare that he too, thought similarly. I think RFK might have said did he did believe in it, but mainly to shut Bernie down. There are moments in the world that at times are best to pretend to go along with, like you’re dealing with an apoplectic 80 year old who gonna hold his breath until he turns blue unless you give him what he wants. It’s for the greater good of all, not to mention peace and quiet.
Bernie on the verge of losing it
Bernie seemed obsessed with baby onesies that had anti-vax misinformation on them
Elizabeth Warren (aka Pocahontas) began her one minute diatribe by screwing up her face and lecturing poor Bobby about all the things he had done wrong. I had to turn the sound off, it was annoying. Some other hopeless dude from God knows where asked RFK about 10 questions in rapid fire and then moved on to something else. RFK’s response was at least let me answer a few of them. The idiot senator looked perplexed. I don’t think he was expecting to get any answers, he certainly didn’t want them.
The Chairman of this circus was the aptly named Mr Crapo. You couldn’t make this up.
Finally…This is from uber left wing rag Axios The good news is that Led Zeppelin ….I mean “former New York Rep. Lee Zeldin was confirmed by the Senate on Wednesday to be EPA administrator.
Why it matters: Zeldin, with little experience in environmental policymaking, will spearhead the Trump administration’s push to reverse former President (of what?) Biden’s climate regulations.
Lee Zeppelin…er, Zeldin
President Trump and congressional Republicans have promised to roll back a long list of EPA rules on fossil (my note: there’s no such thing as fossil fuels) fuel plants, auto emissions and its $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction fund.”
I guess the climate change will keep roaring on out of control then.. oh no…
Here’s the big (ger) band from Saturday. Not really my cup of musical tea, but let’s call it an orchestra warm up
