Trump administration 2024-2028

Let’s see - an actual medical doctor and Admiral, vs the dude who publicly said he had brain worms.

But, the dude with brain worm has name recognition. Father and uncle assassinated.

two billionaires not taking a gvt salary? How noble. Give them medals.

The CAF didn't pay me for a year but I still turned up.

Do I qualify for the same gong?

I did 6 months of that too.

Sadly no. You actually have to not need money to qualify.

Clearly that makes him qualified for head of HHS

This is not the first time that a Kennedy was a bridge too far.

Given that DOGE only has two official employees I guess that Vivek has to do all the admin Executive Assistant work,

There, FTFY

fluoride in the water

I remember the irascible Gordon Sinclair on CFRB calling it 'rat poison' (ya, I'm that old).

I'm sorry. Everytime I see that name my brain goes to Lorena Bobbit. Surgeon-General anyone?

Meh, he wants to ban fluoride in the water so bad teeth and polio! Welcome to the 19th century!

…because all the fluoride in todays toothpastes wasn’t enough?

And Wally Crouter. Yeah, me too.

I had my annual dental a week ago, the dentist literally brought up that because of the fluoride in toothpaste CAF members aren't entitled to fluoride treatment at cleanings in private clinics... But removing it from city water is going to bring back cholera and witch trials.

If the people who hated Trump were a bit less dramatic, they might have a bit more impact.

Bingo.

…or it’s the CAF cheaping out.

I'll take the word of a dentist.

Unless you're suggesting we shouldn't trust experts?

Oh, I trust dentists. I have a few in my family.

It’s just an opinion

Not really. Lots of Canada doesn’t include fluoride in drinking water anymore.

Want to guess, for example, what municipalities in British Columbia add fluoride?

Fort St.John, Terrace and Cranbrook…yup, that’s it. No Vancouver, not Victoria, Kamloops, Kelowna, Campbell River, etc. etc. etc. etc.

I suppose if CAF members were posted there, they could ask for fluoride treatment…

Fluoride: Which B.C. communities add fluoride to water?

Fort St. John, Cranbrook and Terrace are the only communities in British Columbia that currently add fluoride to tap water. Read more about the history of fluoridation in British Columbia.

Huh. Mea culpa.

Ramaswamy wants to defund unauthorized government programs - like veteran healthcare

In 2024, the Veterans’ Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of 1996 accounted for nearly $120 million in government funds despite its appropriations being authorized through 1998

I’m sure the 61% of American veterans voting for Trump didn’t see this coming…

 

[RangerRay]

All this talk of the Senate not confirming these cabinet nominees is moot. Trump will just make them “acting” like the last time the Senate wasn’t keen on his nominees.

I had a tooth pulled while on HLTA in Halifax last month.

The dentist, Civi, told me I wasn't allowed to keep my tooth its a CAF rule.

The CAF really does own you I guess.
