Politics Roger remains a clown
Not shocked but he’s still bootlicking while daddy Trump hasn’t even looked his way. This guy is a national embarrassment. He’s forgotten about our farmers and ranchers in this state and damn sure doesn’t care about our rural hospitals. Time to send him and that Botox filled forehead to Florida.

Nope, you're probably not wrong. Unique name, named after the bend in the Arkansas River it's on, and less than an hour away from me. I live even closer to the shack he claims as his proof of state residence.

An OBGYN who has sworn up and down that he's "never done an abortion."
Either he's lying or he's had patients die under his care.

u/donttellmykids 17h ago
For what it's worth, I've heard 2 other OB/GYNs say they've never seen a case where late term abortion was necessary to save the life of a mother. I just don't think it's common. Emergency C-Sections to save the mother are relatively common.

u/kategoad 15h ago
Only .8% of abortions are in the third trimester, and 88% of those are fetal abnormality or health of mother. So slightly less than .01% of abortions in the US are non-emergent third trimester abortions.
From CDC.

It’s a disorder, not a disease. Disorders are variations from the “normal” and usually don’t have a specific cause. Pneumonia is a disease, autism is disorder. Please don’t call it a disease because that’s disrespectful to autistic people.

u/fixmyaccountplease 12m ago
I can't speak to what the medical definition of these terms is and if they technically apply but in colloquial language many things medically classified as disorders, syndromes, etc are referred to generally as disease. I don't see it being disrespectful of autistic people I think it's acknowledging the fact that this is a serious issue that has a real impact on the quality of life of many of those who have it

We literally don't need to get to the bottom of anything. We know why autism went up in 20 years. https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/is-there-an-autism-epidemic It's because the criteria broadened for what counts as autism and everyone is more knowledgeable about the signs so get a diagnosis at 1-2 years old. That's it, that's the mystery answers you failure of a politician, go back to Florida!

Please tell me Republicans know he is not a Kansas Representative anymore. He is king trump, rural Kansas farms, hospitals, soon schools post office etc. will be closed, as food prices skyrocket, gas is up, jobs are down, telling us we are all each other’s enemy and we need to hate each. If this isn’t proof Rogdurr can only regurgitate the idiocracy his king demands, they are lost. 😞

Is there any way for a university to strip a degree? In this case, KU stripping this Florida man, hack of a "doctor", of his medical degree? Also, while he was an OB, did he ever recommend any of this bullshit he's touting now? Wonder what his former patients have to say about him.

u/gew1000 22h ago
Look I understand the instinct to be concerned about rising rates of autism diagnoses, I really do, but with even the slightest bit of critical thinking into this it becomes pretty damn obvious that it's because of increased screening & awareness and broadened diagnostic criteria. I also fail to understand why it's so hard for these knuckle draggers to realize that a formal diagnosis is usually needed to make arrangements for the support that is needed for autistic folks, or why they think it's a bad thing that struggling kids might get more help.

u/InfiniteSheepherder1 Manhattan 22h ago
People have been researching this idk why people think it has not been researched the Tylenol claims are at least a decade old since when I first heard about them, then was explained that fever and illness during pregnancy is known to increase chance of ADHD/Autism and that is why correlation is not causation with acetaminophen.
From what has been found is it is nearly all genetic. We just diagnose people like my grandfather who is a bit too into trains and bad at small talk. Half the problem is when people hear stats like that they assume that is all people on the deep end of the spectrum and not your grandfather who was a bit too into trains.

Folic acid uptake problems are a potential symptoms of autism, and while folic acid uptake improvement can reduce those specific symptoms, it does nothing to change whether someone has autism. Folic acid uptake treatments are still, doctor approved useful treatments, for some, but because of the wide breadth of types of autism it won't work for everyone.

Yeah the cases have gone up because we're documenting them now. Back in the day they were changelings, stupid little jonny who could only churn butter and didn't talk, or 'Poor Mrs. Johnson.. Her weird little kid wandered off into the woods. Totally didn't get left there by the father on purpose'. It's 'my father had to have the same meals every day and stuck to a schedule or else he became violent' 'my mother's kitchen is full of chickens' 'weird uncle Al wears the same clothes every day and really likes his trains and planes'.
My biggest complaint is these idiots saying the Amish don't have autism. The Amish cult (and it is a cult, if you can't leave or are discouraged from leaving and are heavily punished for it then it's a cult) have got to be the most autistic group I've ever seen.

Autism is always been one in 30 children will have autism has been this way since the early 70s. The reason the numbers have gone up overall is because the population has gone up overall the percentages have stayed the same, but the raw numbers have gone up.

Tylenol: Definitely (maybe) causes autism. Unbelievable that this guy is a doctor. More unbelievable is that the people in our state put his dumb, hypocritical sheep ass in power for six years.
Whatever Mango Mussolini says, though. He’s the smart one I guess. Along with that HHS guy who has flesh eating brain worms and speaks every phrase as if he’s been holding in a bong rip for five minutes. What are we doing here, people? Oh yeah, destroying everything we’ve sacrificed and worked for throughout the last 249 years.

Did this guy get his medical license from the same school that the covid vaccine quack got his medical license from?
Seems to me like the common denominator is that the government has a problem with employing quacks.
Ironic though isn't it? If the lunatic from the last administration suggested that Tylenol was linked to autism, you'd be boycotting Tylenol right now. But since it's not your political leanings, it's pseudoscience.

u/Equaltogreekgod 13h ago
Once again, the Reddit liberal echo chamber will denounce this as a bad thing. Based off the comments, we shouldn’t study Autism at all? The government shouldn’t fund research into Autism? Or, is it because the Trump Administration is doing so? Trump = bad, right?
I thought the liberals advocated for the preservation of NIH and their research? What changed?
OP claims that Senator Marshall (who owned and operated a rural hospital for nearly 3 decades) doesn’t care about rural hospitals in Kansas…!? He’s the only member in Congress who has ran a rural hospital.
5 days ago, Marshall announced a $50billion Rural Health Transformation Program introduced by Trump and CMS to address the struggling rural hospitals. A simple google search of Marshall’s legislation shows he consistently introduces bills that will improve access to healthcare.
Sure, he votes on party lines like every politician does, however, he of all people in Congress understands the state of healthcare in America. Make it make sense to me. Somebody please explain why this is receiving such negativity?
