The Kennedy Hearing was Ugly

 

When your own family thinks you are a weird conspiracy freak who is uniquely unqualified and literally call you a grifting predator, well, that's probably bad news, right? 

But when quizzing by US Senators demonstrates you don't know Medicare from Medicaid and have not just trimmed your public pronouncements to suit your audience but are a legal grifter profiting off of your own BS (as Sen. Warren demonstrated), well, that hurts to be aired publicly, in so many words, doesn't it? 

Or maybe it doesn't.

This guy gave himself a brainworm from consuming roadkill, admits to dumping a bear corpse in a public park, seems sketchy about how germ theory works, has no medical or scientific background whatsoever, has opinions about the AIDS virus and vaccines that would have been shameful and out of date 25 years ago, let alone today, and yet?

He's got influence in his corner. Why they want him, I don't know. You might think people would want someone who isn't a whole fucking flake in an important position like Secretary of Health and Human Services--

Unless you just aren't that interested in health and will be goddamned if you see it as a basic human service. 

That's where we're really going with this, isn't it? The folks who will be happy to tell you you don't have any rights if it involves another person's service with respects to health are driving this one.

(Do you have a right to someone catching crooks or putting out fires or making sure your mail gets delivered to you? You going to go out and fix your own electric service when a line is down? You going to fix your own roads? You are not some damn Amish motherfucker who put up his own pole barn and does his own family's doctoring. You are a 21st Century pussy like the rest of us who get shit from Amazon and bitches when your cable and internet are out for a couple hours. Back the whole fuck down. Get back to me when you can't get a shot to prevent lockjaw you dim, dumbass Tea Party fucking fake flag quasi-libertarian fuck. You basically have flunked Civilization 101: We Doing Stuff Together Better Than Doing Stuff Apart since the Neolithic, My Good Bitch.) 

Democrats will probably recognize this idiot is, in fact, a whole ass wrong for the job idiot and say "Nope." Republicans are a whole other story. 

Maybe they can be cowed into compliance by "Big Head Little Face Big Gums Little Teeth" guy, Charlie Kirk--or maybe even "Slept my Way from the Bottom but Now I'm Here" flake-ass billionaire Nicole Shanahan when they say they will primary someone who doesn't vote to confirm their boy. Their big, crazy as hell, pretending he's all natty while juicing more than the whole Tropicana Company 70 year old leathery lobby lizard. 

I don't pretend to know what the fuck is up with the idea you HAVE to confirm a whole ass weird stupid unfit person OR ELSE and where that noise comes from, but I do not respect anyone who thinks advise and consent means make dumb mouth noises and approve a bad choice anyway because the president and his backers said so. 

It's unconscionable. But unfortunately, it isn't unimaginable anymore. 

And I will wait and see on Tulsi Gabbard before I unload about that choice. Which is a whole different degree of stupid and bad.
