Democracy doesn’t instantly vanish, it’s dismantled, department by department, ruling by ruling. SCOTUS was the law. Now it’s the knife. Congress sets laws to keep presidential powers in check. Our corrupt SCOTUS is destroying that balance and fast-tracking us to certain demise.

This sociopathic techbro billionaire dork likely picked his idea up from a Reddit post & is clueless that it's possible to study the deterrent efficacy of executions.
Research shows that public executions do *not* deter crime. If anything, they encourage violence.

Well, Senators Bill Cassidy and Thom Tillis, you wanted RFK Jr. to “go wild” at HHS.
Congratulations. You’ve achieved your goal. He is well on his way to completely destroying the US vaccine program.
