RFK Jr. and GLP-1s

[Sunflower]

White suburban women may have voted him into office but touch their ozempic or their diet coke and I think you are gonna have problems.

I think you mean white men. Yeah, there were also a significant portion of EVERY sex and race demographic that voted for him. None of those identities are purely intelligent/ moral/ pragmatic.

But I do silently laugh at my fellow suburban white women who are paying a 5,000% markup on their GLP1s while trying to gatekeep it from X type of people whom they claim don’t need/ deserve it.

the good news is that it looks like the senate doesn't have the votes for a recess, so these trump appointments will all be getting grilled by the senate. the problem is, there's just so many terrible appointments (take your pick between gabbard, gaetz, rfk, etc) that it's unlikely we'll be able to stop them all.

Devyn - here’s hoping you work on the Hill and have an inside view on this. I can find no senator publicly stating how they would vote to recess. Furthermore, any president can adjourn either body of Congress. I still think they have to go out for at least 10 days for appointments, isn’t that true?

i'm not on the hill, just a concerned american with a vested interest in retaining some shred of democracy over the next 4 years like you.

it sounds like if trump really wants to get his dictator on, he can indeed push through his nominations if he wants but the cost would be insane PR wise. he'd burn a lot of republican bridges in the senate and house but who knows if that even matters in this upside down populist cult world that we live in now.

I'm a partisan guy with strong political opinions, however, I hope to keep this site nonpolitical. Basically, I just don't people who used to get along on the site fighting over politics. If you hate Trump, you'll focus on RFK Jr.'s comments about GLP-1 drugs for weight loss being bad. If you love Trump, you'll focus on RFK's comments about the FDA needs to stop regulating peptides. I'll offer my opinion that while possible changes from a new Trump administration could be good or bad for us, there is no clear answer as to how he'll affect access to GLP-1 drugs obtained through the gray market.

lol now we’ve got Dr Oz overseeing Medicare and Medicaid, anyone know his stance on glp1s? Can we expect our senior friends to get better coverage?

What a time to be alive.

I'm going to keep this comment politically neutral, but from what I've seen from him personally, my take on RFK Jr and peptides is that he seems to think peptides are a good thing if you're fit and want to get jacked (I'd bet money he's using HGH ), but that he looks at GLPs with disdain, and thinks "clean food", exercise and a clean environment are what overweight people need.

Yeah well Ive been doing that for years and it hasnt helped

democracy is what we just had with the vote. i get irritated that every decision ends up in some court somewhere and the plaintiff is always good at judge shopping.

I think it’s best if we leave it there. I shouldn’t have been participating in political chit chat but it was too enticing. It’s not a good idea to have politics here so hopefully we can stick just to expected outcomes as they relate to peptides specifically in an extremely narrow sense. Sorry for my failure on this.

Peptides are probably one of the few things that unite people across the political spectrum these days. That and the dream of Mike Tyson knocking out Jake Paul

less regulation. less bureaucrats. less saving people from themselves. that's what's going to happen. i don't understand all the willy nilly.

wait and see. we'll be having a huge peptide party next summer.
