Calls for Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s resignation are growing after two unvaccinated people died from measles in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There have been 393 confirmed measles cases in 28 counties in Pennsylvania this year, and 2,777 total cases nationally—a 35-year high.
These are the first measles deaths in the United States this year, and in Pennsylvania in more than three decades.
“RFK Jr.’s lies and conspiracy theories are making Marylanders sick,” Democratic Maryland Senator Angela Alsobrooks wrote Tuesday on X. “RFK Jr. must resign or be fired. Vaccines are safe and effective. Listen to your pediatrician.”

You’re assuming these people are competent businessmen who would figure out that killing off the people you’re exploiting for wealth is bad for building further wealth.
Trump is a prime example of the incompetence. He bankrupted multiple casinos, even with Daddy’s inheritance.
They’re just simply good at gaming the system by manipulating market shares and real estate, while buying political power to serve their interests. They’re not businessmen at all. They’re grifters.
On the contrary.
We are in agreement that what’s happening is not malice, but incompetence and greed.
hmm. No.
He got elected President, twice. He’s corrupted over $5B in personal money. He has secured infinite power from SCOTUS. He has the entire Republican party scared of him. He has the entire Democratic party neutered.
Sounds pretty competent to me.
I don’t think it’s off his own intellect, at all. He doesn’t have much intellect to speak of.
He’s a stooge for the Heritage Foundation, Bibi and Putin. He works off Roy Cohn’s playbook. These guys are great thieves, I’ll concede, but actually running legitimate businesses and succeeding? Nah.
Trump on his own would be just a narcissistic, dumb, rejected NYC tycoon who bankrupt casinos. Don’t give him that much credit.
