Should we be worried about RFK, Jr?
Robert Reich says “Maybe.”
I worry about RFK,Jr. Anyone who believes that the US fueled conditions for the Russian invasion of Ukraine and that the solution is for the US to withdraw support has a tenuous grasp on reality. Anyone who believes "ending the suffering of the Ukrainian people" can happen by allowing Russia to maintain control of lands it claims is naive.
As a political threat to Biden inside the Democratic party, I might begin to worry if RFK Jr. raises $10 million or arranges to be on the ballot in 10 or more states.
As long as he keeps polling at or under 20%, the Democratic delegate selection rules prevent him from accumulating many delegates.
If he is at 20%, he might amass enough delegates to get his name placed in nomination and some time at the podium. Some embarrassment for Biden, yes. Serious threat, probably not.
By the time of the convention, he will probably fizzle out and pose the same threat to Biden as Lyndon LaRouche posed to the Democratic nominees in the '80's and '90's.
Cornel West is a bigger problem for Biden come November 2024 in states that close.
Qbert is an idiot. But, you knew that.

Pat Robertson, Who Gave Christian Conservatives Clout, Dies at 93 – The New York Times (nytimes.com)
Pat Robertson was Q-Anon before there was a Q-Anon. Folks would simply nod and smile when he would say ridiculous and outlandish things because back then most folks knew the difference between reality and fantasy.
In this case in particular I hope my theory that God is a black woman is true.
There. I fixed it.
And Biden is a Catholic.
Time to roll out those hoary predictions when JFK ran for president about the Pope taking over.
WWJVF?
Popped in to see if this was posted yet. Evil S.O.B. Not sorry he's gone. I hope your theory is correct, Michael.
The grift will continue, but at least this shitbag is dead, finally and thankfully.
We've already seen that the next generation of Christian grifters does have the brain power that the prior generation had.
Exhibit A being Jerry Fallwell, Jr., his delightful and horny wife, and the Pool Boy.
That's true, and I very much hope things work out the same with Robertson's scumbucket spawn.
Falwell Sr. was a fucking monster, and was all the worse because he was generally competent, effective, and good at the horrible shit he did. By contrast, Falwell Jr. was a total slapdick, as stupid, venal and incompetent as anyone who ever lived. He ended up disappearing in a puff of greed, corruption and cuck fetishism.
The sad duty of politics is to establish justice in a sinful world.

Veterans and interested observers might note that Pat while hating communists did his level best to avoid kinetic warfare to push them back in Korea.
"My single distinct memory is of Pat, with a big grin on his face, standing at the dock at Kobe after his second phone call, saying something like, "So long, you guys good luck," and telling us that his father had gotten him out of combat duty. Again, I don't think anyone was offended; I remember being amazed at the time that a U.S. Senator had that kind of power."

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Hoo, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no furtunate one, no
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, Lord?
But when the taxman come to the door
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no
Yeah-yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
Hoo, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
Hoo, they only answer, "More, more, more, more"
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son, son, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, one
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate son, no, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me…

Own the libs, Granny!! Step out and take a deep breath!!
America, you had a good run.
And we use the rising sea levels in places like Florida – where Woke goes to drown – as another climate cudgel.
It's why we have PM emission standards (diesel engines, power plants). Maybe we can put Jesse in a garage with an idling, pre-Tier 2 diesel engine and see how long he lasts? The particles are each about a 30th as wide as a human hair, are dangerous to human health because they are tiny enough to penetrate into the lungs and bloodstream.
Thirty-five micrograms of the particles per cubic meter of air is considered a safe average level in the air for one day. Wednesday’s average level in seven stations across the city was 377, nearly 11 times as much as that threshold.
And this maroon's medical or public health credentials are ….. ??????????
Pretty certain that he'd also think that cigarette smoking isn't a problem. And if I wanted to make a splash on Fox News, I'd agree and point out my mother-in-law didn't die until AFTER she stopped smoking. [she'd only smoked for 62 years or so, and quit 3 or 4 days before she died.]
Maybe Jesse can brave the orange cloud 24/7 for as long as it's covering New York.
How does this "own the libs?" Please proceed guys. This lib, couldn't care less.
Did they miss the footage of people in China and India walking around in N95 masks as a normal thing long before COVID?
I woulda’ guessed that Gertz’s “audience” was mostly freshmen and sophomores????
Gertz – Gaetz is there a difference?
In the whole history of media journalism, has there ever been any other entity so anxious to help facilitate the extermination of huge swaths of its core audience?
“How are they doing at the Fox News Old Folks Climate Denial Dance Marathon?”
“They’re dropping like flies!”
Didn’t see this coming ….
Supreme Court rules in favor of Black voters in Alabama redistricting case (msn.com)
Who expected Roberts and Kavanaugh to throw us a bone?
This case not only opens the door to a second majority-minority district in Alabama but also in Louisiana. Nice!
The ruling will trigger a number of fights in several states. I've now seen a couple of people writing they think the way the opinion is written, the same principles could apply to categories OTHER than race. Maybe packing and cracking populations to maximize partisan advantage isn't a Constitutional right.
Can't say I'm terribly surprised. I don't know Kavanaugh as well on redistricting issues, so wasn't sure how he'd vote, but Roberts did not surprise me. He tends to be rational on certain issues and representation is one of them.
Roberts has been on the rollback side of many Voting Rights Act rulings. This was a surprise, but at least one analysis says that Alabama just didn't reach for the stars; had they challenged Section 2's "racial bias" or age they might have ruled differently, both Roberts' ruling and Kavanaugh's concurrence suggest.
Oh, Honey Bo
oBoo, the number you should be focused on is 546, not 1023. No matter how hard you try to look like you have two firing neurons and can understand complex theories, FDFQ is never going to offer you the VP slot.Just don’t be late, I’ll look forward to you and Rudy’s presser at Four Seasons with the breathless, made-for-NewsMax findings of your
nothingburgerdiuretic sliders equivalent.I hope she left early enough so that they don't lock the door before she arrives.
And then there was some good news coming out of New York ….
Could Democrats Get Another Shot at Redistricting in New York? – The New York Times (nytimes.com)
If they try to redraw the lines to help the Dems, they will need to exercise some degree of self-restraint.
Remember, pigs get fat while hogs get slaughtered.
The day our American “Crazy Eyes” Goebbels found Jesus. No word yet on whether she’s still contemplating her Master Plan to invade and crush Canada, perfect the Jews, invade Muslim nations and convert them to Christianity at gunpoint, "rape the planet," publicly flog and humiliate black children, and arm women while taking away their right to vote.
Seems like just yesterday…how long before she’s back to turning tricks at the Four Seasons?
It draws the battle lines, if nothing else. Probably just draws him into the corner though,
Pence is spinning like a top, trying to figure out his position on Trump: Here's some of the coverage:
That is nothing compared to the pirouette he is going to have perform when asked whether he will support newly-indicted Trump if Trump is the eventual nominee.
The shit has hit the fan in Box Hoax
Now comes late word that the scandalous, infamous JAMES WATT is dead.
Jeebus, what a day!
