Desperately seeking that Peace Prize.
May have to settle for the Hero of the Russian Federation award. Bigly sad.

I guess Kennedy thinks being called a charlatan is more of a compliment than an insult? Certainly better than being a medical expert with scientific proofs easily to hand, I mean, who needs those?

Very very dark, but a lot of German medical scientists that moved to the US after WW2 had a lot of valuable experimental data which you can get when you decide ethics are for someone else.

What's the mathematical probability that the greater percentage of Bigly's cabinet is clinically insane? Surely higher than that of any European, or the Canadian, governments? Its absolutely beyond parody.

RafaistheKingofClay · 05/09/2025 17:07

In RFK’s case the brain worm accounts for a lot of it.

On a completely different note, I found this article interesting:

The World No Longer Takes Trump Seriously

At parades and in the halls of global power, America has been sidelined.

Re Nazi research - think Mengele.

I didn't want to say ... but if you forget ethics and morality you can gather a lot of medical data. And whether we like it or not, we have probably all benefited from some aspects of that "research".

Ye, my thoughts went to that immediately, which is why I thought you were being extra dark yesterday, @SerendipityJane. It’s something we’d rather not think about, I suppose. At least we can be thankful that at the rate Kennedy is going, and with the incompetence of Trump’s government, despite their lack of ethics and morality, they won’t be gathering any medical data which they can put to nefarious use.

SerendipityJane · 06/09/2025 10:47

Mysteriously that doesn't make it any less true. Something a lot of people really should learn.

We certainly have, especially from treating battlefield injuries.

It's getting to him

I keep seeing "stories" about US, Canada, Brazil coffee and rejected, but they all seem to cycle back to a load of YT or FB videos that are being flagged as low trust.

Clearly there is something going on, just wondered if anyone knew any more ?

The problem is not the use to which it is put, but the way in which it is gathered. Do we think this bunch of shits would hesitate not to treat black men who had syphilis, in order to find out things about that disease, even if they were incompetent actually to find anything out? Or immerse immigrants in freezing water to establish how long it took for them to die? (One of those was Nazi research; the other was not.)

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 06/09/2025 13:03

If the Clown Show rebrand the Pentagon as the Department of War, how much will it cost the change every letterhead and sign and door and desk? More or less than turning the White House into a tart's boudoir with a concrete garden and a very vulgar ballroom?

I’m sorry, I mis-wrote - possibly naively, I’m working on the principle that they wouldn’t have the brains/ medical knowledge to even think of doing it in the first place, if you see what I mean? (At the moment I am battling horrible visions of soap and lampshades and I don’t want to imagine any more.)

Anyway, their incompetence and lack of knowledge are what I’m getting at, I’m not saying they are not ethically and morally corrupt enough to do any of the things you mention. Look at ICE.

Sorry, is this a remark about the White House, or was it meant for a different thread?
