I want to do drugs and ban RFK Jr from TV.
Drug ads are the only thing keeping cable TV floating
Two birds with one stone! While I understand there are people who still have cable and a large portion are elderly who are less comfortable with technology …. This just needs to end. Cable TV companies are one of the most exploitive, customer abusing companies there are. Their monopoly is gone (well, ISP monopoly is less than cable monopoly), so let’s just end them. Kick them while they’re down. Usher them into capitalist hell
I am hoping he bans combustion cars from dense urban area.
That’s just insane enough that he might actually try it
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Can medicine finally stop getting jingles?
Fuck you (drug you all wanna mention but I won’t give them the exposure here) and your randomly changing cast of dancers and main singer.
No more big story to tell got you.
So RFK2 with this and Trump trying to end DST.
If they can stay on the fringe of everything like that then maaaaybe it won’t be so bad? But they can’t.
The fact that these pharmaceutical companies can afford to license the songs that they’re riffing off of makes you wonder how many of your dollars are going to the actual production of the drugs you need to survive, and how many of those dollars are going into marketing
Every medical choice you make should be made between you and your doctor(s).
None should ever be made based on commercials. Ever.
Only old or ignorant people still watch ads. So, of course this piece of shit sees them all day long.
Not defending the guy, to be clear, but.
That’s actually not how advertising works. Unless you live in a bubble in the US, you’re seeing drug ads at the tire shop, airport, restaurant, gas station, billboards, everywhere.
Advertising is more about subconscious placement of things than active watching. Very few people sit down with a bowl of popcorn to watch 30 commercials for pleasure. You don’t even realize it got you, and may never.
Futurama did a good sketch on the concept with “lightspeed briefs” where they were advertising in Fry’s dreams. Principle has always been the same.
These ads used to be illegal, until the FDA in 1997 made it legal, David A. Kessler, who’s appointment continued by President Bill Clinton at the time made them legal. This same FDA actually did good things like nutrition facts labels, so it wasn’t all terrible. They alleged that advertising drugs would help inform the public, although in reality, it is a terrible mechanism to broadcast that type of information as marketing to an uninformed public and it should have never been allowed.
Futurama did a good sketch on the concept with “lightspeed briefs” where they were advertising in Fry’s dreams. Principle has always been the same.
I feel obligated to post the transcript for this reference.
Leela: Didn’t you have ad’s in the 20th century?
Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines. And movies. And at ball games and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts and written on the sky! But not in dreams. No siree!
Also not to mention, it influences your friends or family and the people you interact with. Unless you’re an antisocial hermit, you’re going to be affected one way or another
For real lol
RFK makes a lot of good points when it comes to some of his policies. He just sprinkles in being batshit insane takes and takes them just as seriously.
Finally this loser advocates for something I don’t like.
Read what a lot of you are saying in this thread about “rare W” and the like and thought of this poignant saying…
“You can’t only piss in one PART of the pool”
You won’t get just the one thing you want from RFK jt, you’ll get it all - Stop taking the bait, dipshits. This is the candy he’s trying to give you while sliding down your pants with the other hand and slathering coconut oil on your b-hole.
Trump won, so the US will get a pissed pool no matter what.
To say “rare w” isn’t to deny that, it’s acknowledging that even though the pool is absolutely disgusting with 80% piss, at least that’ll help some people with skin conditions.
Piss in the pool is probably the least of our worries. He’s gonna be emptying the proverbial RV septic tank into our fucking community pool.
The shitter is very full.
I get the general idea, but that’s not the point - you need to always deliver the sugar with the sour around these fucking people. Their tactic is repeating a lie constantly. When you’re constantly just saying, “I actually love this” and nothing else, you’re doing work for the bad guys.
You can’t show just the outside beauty shot of the cupcake, you always have to cut it open to show clearly that the center is stuffed with warm, wet dog shit
Yep that’s basically it. “Rare W” is not an endorsement, it’s pretty much the opposite : recognizing that an otherwise terrible person/organization did something good or made a good point for once.
He’s a weird mix of “cannot be allowed near the job” and great ideas.
Well, two. This and getting the stigma off of psychedelics.
Nothing’s worth having an anti-vaxxer in charge, though. Not even close.
You forgot his third one, he supports stem cell research, which is odd given that his new buddies don’t approve of creating new sources of stem cells (aborted fetal tissue).
Well, IVF is still legal for the time being.
And fun fact! Depending on the facility, if there’s any unused fertilized eggs left the woman/couple can decide to donate them to medical stem cell research facilities.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
Rare RFK W.
The other was avoiding processed foods. I’m guessing he won’t be allowed to implement that either when his boss gets a wheelbarrow full of cash from the McClown.
There’s a shot of RFK and the rest of the Dream Team holding a Big Mac somewhere and he genuinely looks like they’ve asked him to pose with a freshly laid dog turd.
Trump is smiling in the picture like he just made his new stooge pose with a dog turd
RFK just looks terrible in every picture I’ve seen
Mike johnson photobombing in from the side, trying to be included.
Even a blind clock is a horse once in a while
A broken horse will lead a man to water at least twice a day in the bush
Seriously, he gives me major whiplash. Like 90% of his opinions are pure bullshit, but I often agree with the remainder.
He also left the dead carcas of a bear in Central Park.
He also drove over 300 miles to cut the head off a beached whale and bring it home.
RFK does a lot of strange things, and i don’t think it was 100% the brain worm either.
He also had a habit of eating raw or even partly rotten meat for a while IIRC. That’s probably how he got that brain worm.
The behind the bastards podcast about him was a wild ride
“When your rich they just let you do it” - Some rich asshole
For as many foolish things Kennedy has talked about wanting to institute, a drug ad ban is not one of them. Kinda awesome, actually.
Not exactly worth the damage he’s gonna do, though.
Honestly…… if we can rule out the “vaccine” shit…. Then maybe?
The issue is the people who don’t or who no longer make it mandatory at schools and all of a sudden polio and measles make a massive comeback for the immune compromised
No no, I understand that vaccines are important, you misunderstand my statement.
“If we get rid of rfk’s vaccine bullshit”
I’ll still be in a labor camp for the crime of having ADHD, but sure, take away his stance on vaccines and it’ll all be good
(sorry for being snippy, just pointing out that the vaccine bullshit is just one of the layers of awful he wants to implement, and the drug ad ban is one of the few not horrible things I’ve heard from him)
You’re being overly sensitive here, I gave you the win already.
And no you can’t blame your ADHD for the sensitivity, I have it too.
Chill my guy. I’m no rfk supporter, nor maga enthusiast.
What the hell are you talking about, gave me the win? What does that even mean? That was the only time I’ve ever replied to you.
Whether you meant to or not, you sounded like you were saying the main problem with him was the vaccines, without that he’s not that bad; I was pointing out that he’s promised a lot more bad things than that. I wasn’t even mad or upset or being overly sensitive about it (prickly, maybe, at least in presentation).
I didn’t even accuse you of being an RFK or maga supporter.
And now you’re doing the whole dismissive “don’t be so sensitive” bullshit. Just… Don’t do that.
He’s said he’s going to completely halt all infectious disease research.
Ow my brain.
No, still horrifying unfortunately.
He would be fired by trump before this would happen. The reason it is still allowed is because of interest money and this administration is all about money. The only way I would see such ban happening would be banning those ads on TV while enabling them on social media.
Maybe the play is that he threatens to ban them until drug companies talk to him at a dinner and discuss much needed financial support for this administration’s projects.
That’s how trump works, so it is possible that this is the idea.
Watch what they do, not what they say. Trump makes empty promises all the time. I’m sure the same is true of Maggot Brain.
I believe that wormfood wants to ban the ads, just no way it’s gonna happen.
He’s just copying Canada.
I guess the worm didn’t eat all of it.
This is like when you get the right answer using the wrong formula
Sometimes even a calculator can be a clock.
8:00:85
Broken clock
yeah curiously this is like the second thing I could actually get behind.
what was the first?
Think he wanted a junkfood tax? Though that could also be thought of as a poor tax.
If it works like Pennsylvania’s soda tax and doesn’t apply to people paying with EBT that would be okay enough for me. Lord knows I could use some outside influence to stop buying junk food.
Would be best to also subsidise the healthy foods to make them cheaper but no way in hell that will happen any red administration.
yeah. I think an outright ban on nasty chemicals would be better probably. No need to tax shit homeless people depend on for survival.
anti corn syrup
Yeah the other thing I agree with him on is bringing in Joel Salatin’s approach to regenerative agriculture. This is all about building up soil health and soil ecosystems rather than conventional fertilizer and heavy tillage.
I don’t think a forced change like that is really necessary The only reason it really stopped in the first place is because corn is so subsidized by the government that it is cheaper and less work to just keep expanding land and planting more corn fields. Stop the outrageous subsidizing of corn and corn based products and it would make sense for farmers to rotate/sustain crop fields and diversify crops.
This “broken clock” is right a surprising amount of the time, just don’t focus on the occasional statement he makes that the corporate media really, really wants you to focus on, they’ve deployed the crackpot strategy on a guy who really just wants you to eat healthy and make your own choices about your health.
He wants to remove approval for the polio vaccine. That alone is enough to say he should go get fucked.
Removed by mod
I don’t know what the hell that noise was! Did he say something or belch?
And yet Trump has been quoted as saying he is all in favor of the polio vaccine and RFK is not nearly as radical as presented.
Wonderful, his boss isn’t as crazy as he is. And his boss is crazy as fuck in other ways.
Please, fuck off.
You are pitifully ill informed and intentionally obtuse.
Says the guy defending RFK. You can’t make up this level of projection.
Anyone who pays attention to what Trump says and not what Trump does is a fool. Trump is a compulsive liar who constantly contradicts himself, and Trump never appoints anyone to public office for the public good.
We all know the traitor is lying about literally everything that comes out of his mouth. Just the fact that rfk would accept a position with a verified seditionist traitor tells me all I need to know about Mr. whale head hacksaw.
I’m not of the belief that the general American public has enough agency or wherewithal to make their own choices about health.
Source: Louisiana… in general.
Odd argument for a thread essentially about advertising to the public directly, instead of health professionals in trade journals.
You’re right. They just haven’t heard it from the right place, yet.
goes back to his crystal and sage healing appointment
Don’t get vaccinated, btw. Heard it from a guy last week at the bowling alley.
You’re not really making a coherent argument here.
I haven’t heard one to rebuke. I’ve mostly just been making fun of you thusfar.
Do you have an argument beyond RFK isn’t that crazy, just… some?
By banning, or even reducing the use of commonly used vaccines, he’s going to condemn thousands of kids to horrible deaths and more to horribly damaged lives. His is not a job where being right 2% of the time is acceptable. And is someone only a crackpot if every single thing they believe is bullshit? Because that’s stupid-ass binary thinking of the worst sort. There are some policy positions that are so destructive that they render a person unfit for any position of responsibility if they espouse them. And RFK has not just one of those, but a whole fucking portfolio.
He is a fucking crackpot. Anti-vaccine anti-science worm eaten brained idiotic moron who did heroin for 15 years straight.
Your heroes are insane. You are insane.
You need to actually listen to what he is saying, not what others say he is. Sustainable farming, eat healthy, limit processed oil intake, reduction of pesticide/herbicide/etc use…these are not crackpot positions, simply threats to the corporate status quo.
Lmfao. The traitor and his team are the corrupt oligarch status quo.
I feel bad for you. You’re clearly not mentally equipped to handle the firehose of bullshit from this upcoming fascist regime.
Removed by mod
That’s a coherent argument! But only if you’ve suffered some extensive brain damage.
Ok but that strategy was very easy to implement
Fear mongering. Actually listening to what RFK has to say versus what mass media wants you to think he’s about, very quickly leads to agreeing with the guy on roughly 95 percent of topics.
Nope. Absolutely not.
Source : I’m not a moron who believes his insane bullshit.
Definitely a moron though.
Still smarter than you.
Take it easy, dude has a brain worm
