Nobody's perfect. But it's a fact, not a theory, that American elites conspire with the deep state against her own citizens. And for the few faults that RFK has, he's fuck'n light-years ahead of Biden*, Anal-bayonetting approving Cliton, and "The Camel" Harris, along with the assorted ghouls, psychopaths, sychophants, revolving-door grifters, and brain-dead neocons that occupy DC.

I find it helpful to keep first things first that way.


SECOND: Signym, RFK Jr. is a loquacious lunatic. He is precisely NOT Presidential material. But Trump wasn't sane and you couldn't stop finding reasons to support him or explain away his looninesses, so RFK Jr. is exactly who next you would find meritorious.


Better a loquacious lunatic than an addled meat puppet for neocons

BTW what he says about bankers is true.

I look fantastic though.

You and 6ix have nonsense notions of 'better', 'true', and 'addled meat puppet':

1) Trump adds ending the Ukraine war in 24 hours to his resume of unhinged promises

He also stressed that if he had been re-elected back in 2020, the war wouldn’t have happened in the first place. Unfortunately, it is not the first time he has made a nonsensical claim. Just days ago, he stressed (via Newsweek) that he is the “only” 2024 presidential candidate who can “prevent World War III,” which he is sure is going to happen and can “possibly end the world.”

2) Now that the twice-impeached, disgraced former president has been indicted (or "INDICATED," as he proclaimed on Truth Social), we are reading again about Trump's history of terrible behavior, from his merely boorish and gauche default mode to the pathetically self-serving (using a fake voice to try to get press coverage); to the relentlessly racist (being sued for racial discrimination, "birtherism," "very fine people") to the misogynistic ("face of a dog," "horse face," and many other sexist insults) to his pathological inability to tell the truth (30,000-plus lies as president) to the flat-out criminal (falsifying business records, conspiring to overturn election results and dozens of specific claims of sexual assault or harassment).

With an unhinged person like Trump, it's good to get such a recap because it is all truly difficult to keep up with, which we now understand to be the point.

He's right about all that.

Your number 2 is appropriately named because it's a bunch of horseshit.

I'd say I'd bet you feel like a bitch now, but you need to have a soul and a shred of empathy to feel that way.

America Is Starting to Really Hate Donald Trump
Story by Brandon Weichert

The former president, Donald J. Trump, is running around telling Republican voters that he alone can defeat the Democrats in the 2024 Presidential Election. Anyone who would question the forty-fifth president’s statement is considered a stooge of the globalist, neoliberal, neoconservative elite.

The GOP, for its part, is stuck between a toupee and an orange face.

After all, Donald Trump can probably win a GOP Primary easily. He cannot win a General Election at all—this is especially the case if, as the former president and many Republican voters believe, the elections are totally rigged.

Heck, if they’re as rigged against the GOP (and, specifically, the MAGA coalition) as Trump says, then why is he even running?

Applying logic to these controversies is rarely what one hoping to retain an audience for their writings is supposed to do. Not when people want to feel like they’re fighting for truth, justice, and the other things, too (rather than actually fighting for these notable ideals in their daily lives, at their local community level).

Whatever. I digress.

If we are to assume that at least some of the election is going to be legitimate (again, as Trump must since he’s running for president once more), we should also analyze the polling data. Of course, polling data can be inaccurate, and it can be misleading.

Yet, it is still a worthwhile endeavor because it can give us insights into where the country is at the moment.

According to a recent ABC News-Ipsos poll conducted between April 6-7 of this year (involving 566 adults), Donald Trump’s favorability ratings are in the toilet—and they’ve gotten even lower. Whereas in March of this year, Trump had a 29 percent favorability rating, a month later, he lost four points and found himself hovering around a pathetic 25 percent.

Meanwhile, his unfavorable rating was even worse. In that same poll, A whopping 56 percent of Americans in March said that they had an unfavorable view of the forty-fifth president. The following month, those Americans gave Trump a 61 percent unfavorable rating, increasing Trump’s negatives by a factor of six points.

I cannot think of any politician running for reelection in the modern age who would believe these numbers are good for their campaign. This means that only one in four Americans have a favorable view of Trump.

Funny because it's not true.

His lead over DeSantis has swelled to 27pts now.

Trump's going to steamroll Biden*.

And Trump is fat. "It's official. I've got diabetes. Jury's still out on 1 or 2, but Dr.'s almost positive that it's Type 2. Next stop is the Endocrinologist to know for sure."
