WASHINGTON—As part of a sweeping overhaul of the building’s plumbing system, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. reportedly ordered the removal of sinks Tuesday from all bathrooms in the Department of Health and Human Services headquarters.
“People across the world lived for thousands of years without sinks, and they were just fine—healthier, even,” said Kennedy, who noted that the cuts would not only save taxpayers thousands of dollars in maintenance and water bills each year, but be better for the environment as well.
“They never should have been installed in the first place. Numerous studies have shown that licking your hands clean can actually improve your immune system. Soap dispensers will remain, but only so you can drink from them.”
At press time, sources reported that Kennedy had eliminated toilets and was urging staffers to dispose of their waste by simply throwing it out the window.

for measles and every other health threat that comes along.
He's also calling for water districts to stop adding fluoride to water systems. Rotten teeth for the younger generations coming up.

At one time, I wouldn't even have had to wonder, but in these messed up times, hardly anything seems completely impossible.

“Germs are not a real thing,” Pete says. “I can’t see them, therefore they’re not real.” pic.twitter.com/9hsAb9YA9j

Yes, you heard that correctly. On the Fox and Friends segment attached to the Tweet, Hegseth claimed, "I don’t think I’ve washed my hands for 10 years.” Not 10 minutes, not 10 hours, not even 10 days. Ten years.
He reemphasized this by saying, “Really, I don’t really wash my hands ever,” which is even longer than 10 years.
Not exactly the type of thing that you want to hear at a party, or at a meal, or at work, or pretty much any situation on the Planet Earth.
Why on Earth would you not wash your hands ever? Hegseth explained, “I inoculate myself. Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them. Therefore they’re not real.”

This is probably because she and I (as a young lad) shared a toilet. She painted on the seat "Don't Pee On Me!"
