The Financial Times is a California tabloid? :shock: :lol:

Just stop Gil. Your trolling has run its course. You’ve lost badly here.
I clicked on the Gabbard article and it was from the UK Independent Tabloid.
Oops. My bad. I tend to get the FT, Economist and Independent mixed up. I read a little from all three.

And yes, it was considered a tabloid while in print (it’s now only digital) but the paper and its journalist have won a number of awards for journalism.

You haven't been keeping up with the tabloids SG.
I bet!!! Lol. It's why Klan, Uni St Behar and HDoge keep repeating the same lie over and over again.

Everyone knows it, but we have dipshits on this board who want their version of medical care forced on everyone else.

If that is the only thing RFK Jr does, to expose that not everything needs to be treated the same, then that's a huge victory.

In fairness, it means educating people like my mother. If they offered her a pill that would "equal" walking a mile, she'd take the pill every time instead of getting fresh air and exercise.
And there are many people who think all natural remedies are superior to modern medicine. Even when it comes to deadly illnesses. It becomes a movement searching for a natural miracle cure when none exists. That’s also looking for the lazy route.

Or those who rely exclusively on their PCP for things like diet vs supplements or pharmacological treatments when most doctors have an abysmally brief amount of training in either.

A nutritionist/dietician is far superior when it comes to dietary nutrition and balance. Every prescribing doctor has a Pharm D backing them up to check for mistakes and best solutions. (Side note…everyone should have a nutritionist on their medical team.)

The key is to be simultaneously open minded AND skeptical towards both.
The key, is to not trust anyone without doing some research and then actually making life changing efforts so you don't get forced into some bullshit.

Nutritionist/dietician puhleaze. You need to do a little research on that topic bro.

Re-read my last time and see if this helps. Then you might not need to repeat it and agree with me. Let me know if you need help with eating right. :lol:

I know your family’s history so I would hesitate to doubt your knowledge. You also know mine. Let me know and I can send you my current list of 16 meds and supplements as well as well as the over a dozen diagnosed conditions I have. I’ve done the deep dive and made the life changing efforts. I wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t and I will have to remain just as vigilant through the end of my life.

I also don’t reject educated and certified expert’s advice out of some overly enthusiastic sense of autodidactism. I know quite a bit about cirrhosis, SMV clotting, blood disease, having 3 herniated cervical discs, and yes nutrition. Modern medicine with its actual doctors and specialists has its place too and the good ones (which my nutritionist is) are simply another important arrow in the quiver.

But by all means, carry on. :kisswink:

Lots of good picks so far, some bad ones in there as well. We'll see how they get through Senate confirmations, I doubt the Senate will give Trump his recess appointments. Trump has a mandate so he can pick whoever he wants as far as I'm concerned, preferably who ever makes the shitlibs shriek the most. :nod:

Mandate or not, all Presidents can pick who they want. The Senate still has the duty to advise and consent, so that means not everyone is going to be a slam dunk to be confirmed. Gaetz was certainly not going to get through the process, hence him dropping out when he did. Might see at least one more not make it through.

Hard to fathom how any US Senator would waste his political capital on Hegseth or Gabbard regardless of what the convicted felon in the White House desires

Are you really saying that trump has never been convicted of anything? That conviction might get tossed but if and when I said he was convicted it was true.

Furthermore, an unproven accusation is not a lie. Trump has been accused of sexual assault/rape by 26+ women. The accusations are a fact and there are plenty of reports with the names of his accusers.

You and other MAQA yahoos have no problem throwing out unproven accusations:
  • the 2020 election was stolen from trump.
  • Democratic leaders calling trump a fascist/Hitler were responsible for the assassination attempt(s).
  • all sorts of things about joe and hunter biden. For a while it seemed like half of CH's posts were unproven allegations about a biden.
Just more examples of your double standard when it comes to the "proof" required when making accusations. Rumors and innuendo are fine when used against trump's opponents but a conviction, confession and video evidence are required for any allegations against trump.

Guilty: Trump becomes first former US president convicted of felony crimes
Donald Trump became the first former American president to be convicted of felony crimes Thursday as a New York jury found him guilty of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to a porn actor who said the two had sex.
Are you going to attempt to play games with semantics?

Equally troubling are the allegations involving his leadership position in two veterans advocacy groups.

If all true, he has some serious personal issues and is not fit to lead any org much less the DoD.

Even if this is true and we know it isnt. So what?

None of that deters from his ability to do a job. Id hire a rapist child molester to fix the federal government if he had the skill and tenacity to do it. All this BS is made up garbage by the left anyway. Just because someone gets a DUI shouldn't mean they lose their job, its a stupid mentality and that's why 2 or 3 on her support it.

Hegseth needs to sue NBC and Trump needs to go after the Owners, CEO, editors, producers and any executive that continues to use their position as a political vengeance machine like they have the last 100 years.

They need to be in jail
