  • RFK was always a wildcard. He’s a weird mix of surprisingly reasonable ideas with complete and utter insanity and there’s no real rhyme or reason behind it. In a way it’s kind of refreshing dealing with plain old insanity compared to the usual MAGA crowd that very blatantly adjust their stances to match their prejudices and whatever is most profitable for them at the time.

    It’s going to be interesting to see what happens when the grifter wing of MAGA runs face first into the nutter wing because I really have no clue which one comes out on top in that fight. My guess is that the grifters win since it will likely come down to whoever Trump decides to back and he’ll always go with a grifter over anyone else.






  • It should be noted that they absolutely must be taken under medical supervision. If not taken correctly or in rare cases even when taken correctly they can have very dangerous side effects up to organ failure and death. They’re usually safe but at a minimum during initial usage need to be monitored for side effects.

    All that said yes, for people that need these drugs it really sucks that they’re trying to make it harder to get them. It’s pretty telling that they’re targeting programs that primarily benefit the poor for these cuts.

    It’s probably worth pointing out as well for people that are unfamiliar with these drugs they are not strictly speaking “weight loss” drugs, rather they’re appetite suppressors. They make you feel less hungry and they also block the reward feedback when you eat so eating food is less “satisfying” which further helps control excess eating. The only dangerous part of these drugs is that they also partially (or rarely fully) paralyze your GI tract which can lead to various complications, particularly if you continue eating at the rate you did prior to starting the drug.
