Free speech Republicans!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald J. Trump’s choice for health secretary, is a longtime critic of pharmaceutical advertising on TV, arguing that it leads broadcasters to more favorable coverage of the industry and does not improve Americans’ health. He has repeatedly and enthusiastically called for a ban on such ads.

You're just a cherry picking loser, like most libs. You sift through article after article online, hoping to find some provocative new "thing" to post as if you, some guy on the east coast of the great USA, will have some kind of outcome. The terrible things Biden did and you moronically supported it. Yeah, you're so bright I have to wear shades.

Here's some info for you to read spanky. I'm sure everything on this list is a lie, right? Liberal Moron.

you absolute idiots.

A draft report by the House Ethics Committee accused former Representative Matt Gaetz, Republican of Florida, of regularly paying for sex, using illegal drugs and having sexual relations with a 17-year-old girl. The report concluded that the actions by Mr. Gaetz — President-elect Donald J. Trump’s former pick for attorney general — violated state sexual misconduct laws, including Florida’s statutory rape law, and violated House rules.

Yes, you are a complete idiot to an all new level of ignorance. I truly feel sorry for you as this appears to be all you have in life, this thread and the lies that you continue to spread. Trump and his administration are cleaning up the mess by the administration that you ignorantly follow and support.

I've got things to do, you know, an actual life versus what you call a life. Trump will make things better but if you don't believe so you can always move to New Zealand and complain about it from there. Have a Merry Christmas sir, as you certainly need one.
