    Imagine being so hell bent on ANTI-VAX that you would risk letting your child get an infection of the brain and spinal cord that can also cause blood infections, death, or disabilities.

    Serious question is what the hell have the republican party ever done for this country? Bush literally lied us into a war and killed thousands of Americans. I Seriously can't think of a single thing the domestic terrorists have done for America in the last 50 years.

    What major legislation have they passed that helped this country? Tax cuts to enrich the wealthy? Deregulation of Wall Street?

    If you'll accept 52-54 years as within the last 50 Nixon signed the EPA, clean air, clean water acts. He desegregated schools, strengthened voting rights, and affirmative action...

    Trump built 13 miles of border wall. Don’t downplay that.

    Biden has been surprisingly good, but at the same time I find RFK's campaign pretty interesting

    This is a interesting listen considering who Lex Friedman is as they talk about Ukraine/Russia issue

    Isn’t one of the Qanon beliefs that JFK Jr. Will come back from the dead and be Trump’s running mate?

    I smell something foul about this guy running as a Democrat. It's the Republicans who ignore the facts, and twist the truth about Putin's war crimes. It was the Russians rounding up Ukrainian children, bombing their schools and hospitals, and slaughtering innocent people they invaded.

    He's an anti-vaxxer with a famous name using this to drum up attention and sales. He has no interest in winning the Presidency.

    https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/07/10/rfk-jr-has-already-won-00105442



    What Kennedy does undeniably desire is public attention, something his presidential campaign is delivering, with critical profiles in the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time, the Atlantic and a particularly damning and comprehensive one by Rebecca Traister in New York magazine. In just a couple of months, Kennedy has gone from “that anti-vaccine guy” to a staple of cable news coverage, making him The Top Kennedy for now, even if much of the publicity is bad. It’s always been a competitive clan, so he’s got to be happy that he now occupies a larger presence in the public mind than his cousin Caroline Kennedy, an ambassador to Japan and now Australia, larger than her brother John Kennedy Jr., who dominated the headlines until his accidental death in 1999. Because it’s been so long since his father and famous uncles died, Bobby Jr. might even have eclipsed them as The Top Kennedy among younger voters.

    The political gene, which often comes bundled with the one for narcissism, never adequately thrives until fed by some form of adulation. Even the negative adulation of the recent profiles can be read as “I must be doing something right because they’re all knocking me” for somebody as thirsty for attention as Kennedy. He’s winning there, too.

    What's amazing is how all the tech billionaires lined up behind him. Jack, musk, bill Aikman, sacks, etc. Every billionaire and their moms lined up behind this guy simply because they don't want Biden to tax them.

    Biden billionaire tax aka wealth tax is scarring the living daylights out of rich folks and they don't want him to win in 2024. Billionaires will do anything to not pay taxes.

    Tax em to hell.
