Trump picks Dr. Oz, the celebrity TV doctor, to run Medicare and Medicaid - eviltoast

Oz, who has a history of making degrading remarks about women, has no government experience. As a candidate for Senate in 2022, he expressed opposition to abortion at any point in pregnancy.

    Yeah as a non-American I honestly just don’t have the energy to be worried/outraged about what’s going on in the US anymore. I’ve essentially been fretting about America since George W. Bush took office, and it just keeps getting worse. Now they’ve handed the presidency, house, senate, supreme court and the popular vote to Trump I just… don’t have it in me to engage in four more years of people endlessly tweeting about the horrible shit Trump is doing, while nobody does anything about it. Not to mention the decades afterwards it’ll take to clean this all up, if that’s even possible.

    Sorry to all the Americans who didn’t vote for this. Good luck.

      I, too, prefer the narrative where this is our problem to deal with and the consequences for our actions will be paid for by us.

      Now i’m not so sure that narrative is true, but there is comfort and motivation to be found in knowing the world will go on without our shenanigans
