The new pick for surgeon general, Casey Means, doesn’t have an active medical license. But she does have ‘impeccable MAHA credentials’

    Ok, so…

    The surgeon general is going to be ‘We have crunchy-mom brand Julianne Moore from Children of Men at home’.

    Got it.

    Sure yep, ok, makes sense, thematic continuity, sure.

    MAHA is Make America Healthly Again…

    I assumed that was some acronym for job in the health care industry like someone in health insurance like a benefits manager. No it’s just complete fucking bullshit.

    I don’t believe in God, but if there is a God, she isn’t testing us. She is mocking us.

      Why would God even be gendered? Sorry, kind of a stray thought your post brought to the surface after seeing someone on late-night get a bunch of cheers for saying God was a woman.

    The president has broad authority to nominate who ever he wants for these roles whether they are qualified or not. I don’t think this is up for debate, and to be frank it shouldn’t even be debated. The boss gives the job to whoever he wants (a good leader chooses the right person, a bad leader does what Dozing Donald does).

    But if a blatantly unqualified person gets the job, that’s on congress for playing politics instead of doing their job as they are supposed to.

    She also makes money from dietary supplements that she promotes on social media and has co-authored a book with her brother that claims “almost every chronic health symptom that Western medicine addresses is the result of our cells being beleaguered by how we’ve come to live”.

      Well obviously, she and Rat Fucker Kennedy would make quite a pairing.

      While we will all be unhealthier (if not deader), the poorest among us are being forced into also being the unhealthiest among us.

          actually waiting for that shoe to drop… Oz was announced way early on, but to my knowledge hasn’t started the confirmation hearings right?

          Kids would work FAR better in deciding right from wrong than these people. They’re actively evil.

    Finally I see something that calls out the total hypocrisy of this regime. They claim merit hires and then literally only wtf hires. The wtf as we all know is blind moronic loyalty or blackmail loyalty.
