“Man, who could have predicted that a kooky conspiracy nut who spews racism and right-wing talking points would appeal to Republican voters and not Democrats? Oh, right. Me. I predicted that.”

EXACTLY! Who would have ever thought that someone could be more off their rocker than Trump? If any “Biden voter” would consider voting for Junior, they were never a Biden voter to start with.

“…Kennedy is clearly unstable and easy to manipulate. How else would a ‘progressive’ allow himself to be convinced by Steve fucking Bannon to ratfuck an election on behalf of Donald Trump?”

I still hope reporters will explore the Jeffrey Epstein connection between RFKjr & tfg, since revelation that both show up on Epstein’s logs.

It’s odd how the media, who would normally be all over anything to do with a guy like Jeffrey Epstein like flies on a cow patty, are just conveniently looking the other way. One of those things that makes you go, “Hmmm…” Oh well, I’m sure there’s nothing there.

Reporters: “You mean investigate something that reflects poorly on Trump? But he’s a Republican and we don’t do that to Republicans. But if any Democrats have any even tenuous connection to Epstein, boy, just wait to see the headlines we write!”

Our lives DO depend on voting Blue. That’s not an exaggeration.

“The worst people imaginable tried to fuck us all, fucked themselves instead, and they’ll deserve every second of public humiliation they have coming.”

If the right gets their dander up about Hunter Biden smoking a little crack now and again, they should definitely not look into RFK Jr.’s history with substance abuse.

I really hope it’s too late when the GOP wakes up to the fact that their Frankenstein monster is running amok, burning their village down and can’t be controlled. Oooops!

“If you woke up tomorrow and suddenly demanded I embrace Donald Trump or you’d abandon me? Have a nice life. I’ll write this newsletter to an audience of zero.”

You mean you have… standards? >gasp!<

One of the problems with the world is that it seems to almost enjoy lambasting people who don't deserve misery with it and lets extremely miserable people do whatever they like without apparent consequences.

Wh...what? Oh...yeah, I guess that is shorter...

Karma's a bitch, apparently?

My new favorite word is ‘ratfucked’. It’s just so appropriate in this case and with trump in general. Bob is a lunatic who wife killed herself because of him. The real Kennedy’s hate him and are campaigning for Joe Biden!

Well, it is what the “RF” in his name stands for.

“One, of course, wonders why the press continued to report on Kennedy as if he were a plucky outsider instead of a Republican operative but whatever.”

Because our political press are, if nothing else, the most credulous idiots on the planet

Can’t help but wonder if Kennedy’s campaign is a funny joke that Kennedy and Biden are playing on Trump’s crazy followers: anti-vaxxers, anti-Planned Parenthood, anti-clean energy, Global Warming deniers . . . It is possible that Kennedy now hates America because his father (a wonderful man) was assassinated in a California hotel during HIS Presidential Campaign, and Kennedy will get his revenge by helping Trump get elected again. Or . . . is Kennedy trying to pull Trump-voters away from Trump to help Biden (a fellow Catholic)? I am just finding it so hard to believe Robert Kennedy, Sr, could have a son who is siding with the devil (Trump) on environmental issues and women’s birth control issues. Might his campaign be a joke Biden and Kennedy have concocted to hurt Trump’s campaign?

“Torgo” Kennedy will disappoint his Republican masters in the end! “The masters…the masters will not be pleased!”

I would still caution everybody to be careful before just voting blindly blue. I have one red state rep that votes a beautiful shade of blueish purple and a blue rep that is so red (and corrupt) it’s scary. I think it’s very important to look at a candidate’s voting record not the D or R.

State and local offices may be different, depending on the particular people and issues in your area. But with respect to Congress, remember that the most important vote they usually have is for control of the chamber. So much flows from that. When you vote for US Senator and US House Representative this year, you want that D.

Even RFK’s former climate activist mates are now disavowing his candidacy. I thing the brain damage he might have suffered due to his addictions might be catching up with him as his brain ages faster than his body.

Any lifelong Democrat could see Kennedy wasn’t a threat. A name means nothing unless you live under a rock. He’s even too far out there for progressive left wingers. And adding to the potential chunk Kennedy could take from Trump is another bite from Haley. I can see her supporters, who aren’t zero, sitting out rather than vote for either RFK or Trump. Independents are generally more centrist by nature and Kennedy isn’t their cup of tea either.
