RFK Jr. continuing the legacy of the Kennedy family being garbage people. That family has always sucked.
One of John F Kennedy's main campaign points in the 1960 election was that under the Eisenhower administration the US allowed Russia to gain a massive lead in the number of nuclear armed intercontinental ballistic missiles - that they had hundreds, even thousands of them. He was actually told the truth - that the US in fact had a major advantage and Russia barely had any (we now know at the time they had 4). But he also knew that the other side couldn't counter his claim without revealing top secrets, such as how we learned what the numbers really were.
And? JFK sucks too but he's not the worst of the Kennedys (That's tied with his Nazi loving father and Nazi loving older brother who would've goose stepped down Paris if he could).
And that was a really slimy thing to do, blatantly lying in a way that you can't answer without betraying the nation. I'm agreeing with you that the Kennedy family is full of garbage people.
On the flip, he was the only vibrant young presidential candidate from 1960 until Obama. And was beloved by many Americans. We've been voting mostly for old fogies since forever.
Think my town was debating no longer putting flouride in the water supply (saving a few shekels) and the townsfolk were like "GTFOH"
I was surprised. No water systems in my county are fluoridated. CDC Lookup Map - https://nccd.cdc.gov/DOH_MWF/Default/Default.aspx

Huh? Clinton was younger than Obama. The definition of Old Fogey changes when you have to be at least 35 for the gig, and many of the old guys were as old as the medical tech of the time would allow them to be. Meaning they'd have been (even) older if folks had been living longer. Given that there have been only two u-50 presidents in my lifetime, and several in their late 60s, I'd draw the Fogey Line at 65. Carter was 52 when he won, Dubya was 54. Normally, this isn't a young age to start a new job, but when you compare with Reagan, Biden, Trump, and a host of candidates who won the nom in their 60s at least, they're pretty young.
It honestly isn’t a big deal if you are brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste. For people who don’t brush their teeth daily, it will make a difference, especially in children, but they are doomed anyway.
Tulsi in another cult Tulsi Gabbard's appointment as Director of National Intelligence is in question after reports resurfaced revealing her ties to a religious sect described as a “cult.”https://t.co/2ZsXnd2joO— The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) November 14, 2024
Conquest is Gaetz, War is Hegseth, Plague is RFK. Gabbard as Famine is a stretch, but it rounds out the set.
One question: are cabinet confirmations filibusterable? Is filibusterable a word? ok…that was two questions
A good friend of mine is from Portland, OR which doesn't flouridate their water. His father not surprisingly made a good living as a dentist.
You're missing the bigger picture - once Elon and Vivek get done making government more efficient, none of those positions will exist anymore! Elon already provides defense, can spy on both other countries and American citizens, and it's not like they care about the health of average people!
Morning everyone. Any predictions on today's nomination announcements? Tucker? MTG? Boebert? Watters? Who else is left? Will even bother with a WH Press Secretary?
He hasn't picked any of his young campaign workers who first came to MAGA's attention through their career as an internet shit-poster. Look for one of them by the close of business today.
