Yet another incompetent "health" official has been nominated to endanger our lives! Just as an addition, I gave up red meat more than 35 years ago when I was being treated for cancer. I didn't want food filled with steroids (suppressing the immune system) or antibiotics (causing them to become ineffective from over/unnecessary use). Good grief...I know more about medicine than these clowns, just from listening to my very smart registered nurse mom!

You're absolutely right, Hope. Most of us have more actual knowledge of health and medicine from navigating our own or our loved ones health challenges. And the knowledge we've obtained by reading. In addition, most of us have something these two quacks lack - Common Sense!

You are very kind!

Trump only wants his nominees to be ass kissers, his ass. It's no surprise that Casey Means is a close ally of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy. What a joke but I'm not surprised at her nomination as the Trump administration admires incompetence. I will be amazed if she is confirmed.

We're watching the erosion of the US government!!!

Here's a shout out to my late mom...long before the research showed all the diseases and health issues smoking could cause, based on what she was seeing as an operating room nurse, she would talk about her observations and judgments about smoking causing various cancers and diseases, and she would advise us never to smoke, and thanks to her, I never even tried it.

Well, the HELP Committee was well-named.... meanwhile, Stephen Colbert has defined a wellness influencer as a 'white woman with a blender'.

She sounds as unqualified as RFK to have any say or control over the healthcare of a country. They'd make a good team to destroy public health and wellbeing as we have known it. When you don't place importance on public health, that's pretty damn bad. One disastrous failure after another!

this sentiment could be said for almost every profession. all are subject to attack under this trump regime; doctors. journalists. scientists. attorneys (yes! can anyone say influencer like alina habba?) politicians. comedians. actors. secretary of state….

I wish George Carlin were still alive. He would have had a lot to say about Trump...and he would have kept up laughing while he did it! Do you remember his 7 words you can't say on TV?

He was a favorite, and I still miss him. He was too young when he passed.

Yes! A DOCTOR not a med school drop out to sell hocus pocus and get rich.

In the old days, they were called snake oil salesmen.

Like they say, it's hard to soar with the eagles when the entire regime is stuffed with turkeys.

Hire the incompetent. Because it's so much fun watching them fail upwards.

Hope Crescione's avatar

The problem is that they are SO DANGEROUS!! And on our tax dollars! Oh...and please don't insult the turkeys.

David Maceira's avatar

Which is why we must stay one step ahead of them. And keep fighting back!

And my sincere apologies to turkeys everywhere. 😊

Hope Crescione's avatar

The turkeys are smarter and more likable than his whole administration. Probably more ethical, too. Thank you for making me laugh!

David Maceira's avatar

Then my daily mission of making at least one person laugh was successful!

Hope Crescione's avatar

You made me laugh again!

Trump can only place people in his administration with his like ineptness. Where do they find these people? As my husband once said, "what do you call the person who graduates medical school in last place? Dr." How can this woman even consider herself a dr. She literally does not have any experience.

They are all grifters and opportunists. Her following on social media exploded as soon as she went full MAGA/MAHA.
