    I guess at least I’d say she’s not wrong that fluoridation of water is probably low on the list of things to be concerned about with RFK jr. being in charge of public health, as well has her point that most toothpaste now contains fluoride so the benefits of it being in the water aren’t as significant as in the past

    what power would the federal government actually have in that anyway? Sounds like what he talks about doing would just be a recommendation from the gov for states and cities to remove fluoride from the water, but no actual mandate. I could be wrong though

    Speaking of Trump and Epstein, Rogan not asking Trump a single question about Epstein after Rogan has been foaming at the mouth about it since it came out was wild to me.

    If the non-fluoride water is still flowing through decades-old lead pipes I’m not really sure we have our priorities straight here guys

    The government sets drinking water standards so they could conceivably ban fluoride in drinking water

    I just want to say this as a sort of eulogy/epilogue to Infowars:

    People in the independent political mediasphere of all stripes especially on the fringes of left/right will fantasize that their specific niche worldview will one day gain traction and dominate the US political paradigm. For most Political content creators this is just a pipedream. Alex Jones did it, he actually fucking did it. He willed his own radical ideology into reality. The fringe shit he was talking about in 2009 is our actual political norm now. I mean we are talking about banning Fluoride as a something that might really happen! Everything he built ideologically is flourishing at the same moment everything he built structurally that is tangible is collapsing.

    Don't take this for an admiration post of him as a person or what he stands for. He is a conman, he is a piece of shit, he deserves everything he is getting right now, but he also is an undeniably incredibly talented propagandist and might be the single most important broadcaster of the 21 century in terms of the influence he had on our society.

    the most batshit rumor I heard is it was proof the first assassination attempt was “fake” but wound up with someone dead on accident lol

    That fucking footage he got at bohemian grove propped him up so much. I never heard of him before that and it was immediately like even if you don’t buy that they choose presidential nominees there these rich fucks are doing some weird shit. And just that kernel of truth he exposed allowed him to plug all the other batshit conspiracies he’s famous for. I knew he was nuts during the bush years but I think we all kind of let it go because he was shitting on the bush family.

    I watched Infowars during the Bush era and people forget he would actually pander to the left back then. He would quote from Manufacturing Consent all the time. He interviewed Chomsky multiple times. He accurately reported about the Pat Tillman incident. The first time I learned about COINTELPRO and Operation Cyclone, and a lot of stuff Blowback talks about was from Alex Jones in the late 2000's, of course he would then dilute all that by talking about NWO Illuminati bullshit right after.

    I honestly thought they were referencing the story about him groping Stacey Williams in front of Jeffrey Epstein in 1993.....

    I mean there is still that supposed video that exists from The Apprentice set of Trump repeatedly calling black people the n word that Mark Burnett allegedly had buried.

    I think the takeaway should be that no matter what despicable horrendous "thing" trump did, voters decided that he was preferable to Kamala Harris and the Democrats

    That’s pretty set and and the new lead and copper rule is finalized, so I’d be really surprised if congress stepped in and was like actually stop all that we need the lead. States have already started implementing it

    This is the problem. I can’t say I blame the media for not running constant coverage of the latest second hand knowledge of some audio that we’ve heard about for years. Release the audio of video or if you want the coverage!
