What fucking year is this? And while he's at it, that horses's ass can get tinfoil hats into circulation to protect against
God damn it, will all these fossils with their lead poisoned brains just die already?
Maybe it's the brain worm talking because the fluorine would kill it?
This made me laugh so hard, I spit my drink all over my desk. Well played, sir.
What year is this? This was a scare back in the 1970.
Un-fortify the wheat now!

"Precious bodily fluids..."
That's about the time the worm ate through his brain and stopped any further thinking.
It already starved to death.
Ignore that buzzing noise.
It's just the sound of 200,000 dentists rubbing their hands together at the thought of all the extra money they're going to make.

Is fluoride the new Frog-engayening agent? 🐸
Flouride makes teeth white. White light passing through a prism makes a rainbow. Therefore, fluoride makes my teeth gay.
Make Cavities Great Again
Isn't this a state and municipality decision?
Personally I am in favor of removing floyride from water. I think it's stupid.
But I am fine with replacing that with free fluoride toothpaste for children.
Either way that is not a federal decision to make.
How about making sure 100% of US residents have access to clean, safe tap water first? Eliminate lead and forever chemicals. I don't feel strongly about fluoride, I do feel strongly you should be able to drink water from your kitchen sink without having to worry.
There actually is a huge push to replace ALL lead service lines in the next few years. Also the EPA has extra funding for treatment of "emerging contaminants" which includes PFAS. Republicans are trying (and succeding) to reduce this funding.
Wow are you a commie? Tap water should only contain flammable gas from nearby fracking plants! Yeehaw
That’s how you know what Freedom^TM^ tastes like!

In the universe of bad and crazy things that brain worm addled RFK jr. would do, this is one of the least bad and crazy.
Roe v Wade: "This should be decided by the states!"
Fluoride in water: "This should be decided by the federal government!"
???
They're proposing to ban vaccines too, and they're not mentioning particular vaccines, just "vaccines". So no healthcare for trans people or pregnant women, and no vaccines. It's only a matter of time before someone convinces them antibiotics are the devil's work.

Don't we have real problems to solve? Why are Republicans always making up new shit?
Because Democrats tend to agree with reality, so if republicans want to oppose them they must insist that reality isn't true.
Distraction 101. If we’re too busy fighting about stuff like this, we won’t come after them for the stuff they absolutely do not want to address. More often than not, the other side doesn’t really want to do the hard work either, so it’s easy to just fight with them about the meaningless shit and get credit for being the reasonable ones. Meanwhile the homeless camps get larger, the health care gets more expensive, the one income family with a pension for retirement becomes a two income family juggling multiple part time jobs with no benefits, higher education becomes something that traps you in a lifetime of loan debt, and we spend billions to elect people who will address none of it.
Pick up a fiddle and enjoy the view of Rome.
Sometimes I hope I’ll see a starship Enterprise, but it’s looking more like Bell riots and Eugenics wars for the rest of my lifetime.
Vote blue and punch a nazi whenever you can, be the change you want to see.

Welp, that explains the parasites.
We don't have it in Quebec, we have more dental health issues on average than in Ontario (our neighbors)
