If that were the case, it back fired in their face.

I'm not quite sure I agree that this was "aggressively going after Trump" but I can see why some would say so, especially those that think Trump is a honest person and a victim.  However, January 6th and his lies about winning the election were unprecedented, and we have nothing to compare that to do call it aggressive or not, and it's reasonable in my opinion to investigate any wrong doing.  Jack Smith comes with a very good resume and I don't think he was about getting power in the hands of the Democrats. I believe he really did see issues there.  

We can agree to disagree. 

Yes, Democrats wanted him to go away and I've been trying for years to understand why Republicans didn't either.  

Well, I guess I can see why because he won the Presidency and in term one passed their agenda,  and that's more important than him being a convicted felon, an adulterer, a liar that thinks he won the election he lost, and with other criminal charges pending. 

Democrats aren't the only one's going for power.  Democrats lost but Republican are the same in that matter.

 

The Justice Department has thousands of prosecutors on staff.  Why the need for Jack Smith?

One court has determined Jack Smith was illegally appointed.

He has a history of being overly-aggessive.  One of his prosecutions was overturned unanimously by the Supreme Court. 

It was all about getting Trump.

Yes it was.  

It's like the kid with chocolate on his face.  You didn't see him in the cookie jar, but you have legit reasons to investigate.

Moot point.

He would have more credit if other prosecutors going after Trump didn't campaine on "getting Trump" . Legally it doesn't relate but visually and circumstantialy it does.

While there is undoubtedly potential conflicts of interests at agencies like the FDA and the CDC, Kennedy has long relied on junk science and misinformation to make his claims about the health of certain foods, vaccines, medications and fluoride.

I was reading about his anti-seed oil stance, a stance that has been debunked.  I'm concerned that he's going to erode's people's trust in their own doctor's advice.  

I think we are a very unhealthy nation and in need of some evidenced based, science bath facts and he's not going to be the one to deliver that.

Yes. I agree. I like that he is focused on health but some of his ideas ring pseudoscience.  

Doesn't floride occure naturally in fresh water streams?  

I most certainly do not think he should be the "health czar".

I agree with you, and think this would be a really bad choice for the position.

Flouride has been controversial.  I don't know if it's a naturally occurring thing in fresh water but it is added to water and toothpaste.    I think if it was poisoning us my generation would be feeling its as water and toothpaste has been fluorinated my entire life.  I would listen to an argument around science and studies.  

Another thing is we are finding that fluoride and antiseptic mouthwashes are harmful to the oral microbiome that is helpful in raising nitric oxide levels which are good for the heart.  Then again some oral bacteria are harmful leading to heart problems.  

But we need science, not conspiracy.  Sometimes science doesn't have the answers and science changes over time.

Tom Homan is named Trump's new border czar.  He does seem to be experienced.

What's interesting about him is that he co-authorized Project 2025, the document Trump doesn't know much about.

I think to say that he "co-authored" is quite a bit of an exaggeration.

He was one of a few hundred people who contributed ideas that were included in it.  My understanding is that his contribution was limited to ideas that had to do with border and immigration policy.
