RFK, Jr: Nice chatting with you, Don. Hopefully, we can continue this conversation at a later time.

I have no evidence, but I think Trump was referring to his youngest child. I've long suspected that the kid is on the spectrum and Trump thinks vaccines made him that way (there is zero evidence to support any connection between vaccines and autism).

Just baseless conjecture.

They are.

Win desperately need to get Biden to drop out of the race. His poll numbers are dropping in swing states. And I can only understand over other word that comes out of his mouth.

The speculation is that the Dems with wait out the week but if Biden doesn’t drop out, they re going to all go public.

Btw, JFK Jr. is disgusting.

Maybe I am way off but I still think Biden's old ass is the best option and its worse if they switch out.

Yep. The time to switch was two years ago but no one stepped up.

I don't think Newsome can win over Midwest voters. I like Whitmer a lot.

[Sedale Threatt]

Yeah, no. A judge who voted to declare a President to be above the law when committing "official acts" does not adhere to the constitution.

He is also openly corrupt, has accepted millions in bribes, and his wife is an insurrectionist. Thanks for the laugh, but nah man

$4,042,286 in "gifts" since 2004, to be exact. And keep in mind he was sworn in more than 10 years before that. So the exact total is undoubtedly even higher.

Seriously, this is just another example of how completely broken the system is. As a journalist they drilled into your head that you can't even accept a free lunch from anyone you're dealing with in a professional capacity. And yet, just because it isn't explicitly outlined in a specific code of ethics, somebody who is apparently intelligent enough to graduate from law school can't figure out that accepting lavish and expensive "gifts" from billionaires whose cases and causes he could rule on is deeply, deeply unethical?

Lol, right. Right.

And that's before you even get into his insurrectionist wife, whose activism based on illegal bullsht raises even more issues about his (severe lack of) ethics.

(Side note: This is a fun quote from one of her aunts from an old Washington Post article when he was first nominated -- "He treated her so well, all of his other qualities made up for his being Black." loooooooooooooooooooool. No wonder Samuel L. Jackson calls him Uncle Clarence.)

I work in pharma. I don't work in the field or anything but even I have to undergo training that forbids me from accepting free meals or gifts from anyone we're doing business with.

It's crazy how there are higher ethical standards for private sector employees compared to the judges on Supreme Court of The United States. Who have none.

And frankly, I'll be honest. I don't think Thomas is the only one. I think all 9 of them have been accepting free stuff.

This shouldn't be a partisan issue.

Absolutely. Supreme Court justices should be completely beyond reproach. The dollar amount was a pittance in comparison, but I read that Sotomayor has accepted almost 50 gifts during her career. That's wrong. It should be zero, across the board.

But Thomas not only takes he completely gorges on the cake. I think he accounts for something like 80% of the pure dollar amount SC justices have accepted over the past two decades. And the fact people would just shrug their shoulders over that -- I saw one legal analyst say when that info came out that he deserved those "gifts" because he grew up poor -- is mind-boggling. But pretty much the entire past decade has been mind-boggling, so just throw it on the pile I guess.

I'll tell you this much: My first job out of college was flush on the Mexican border, and I used to laugh at how nakedly corrupt it was. (A work colleague, for example, had his car ransacked and was basically shaken down by a couple of cops.) I legit thought back then we had some kind of moral high ground.

How dumb was I?

[Loaded_Hollows]

Joe Biden saying "If you vote for Trump, you ain't Black" is a case of "he's out of line, but he's right".

Voting for a guy that openly discriminates against Latinos, Muslims, and calls neo nazis very fine people, while coordinating with white supremacist extremist groups to stage an insurrection at the Capitol building is a pretty precarious thing to do for Black folks. But that's for us to say, not Joe.

And frankly, I don't care. It ain't like Joe is the first white man to say something he shouldn't. I took no malice from the comment either.

I’m a black man. I feel the same way. He shouldn’t have said it, it’s not his place. It sounds like something he heard black people saying and decided to parrot it. But yea, there was no malice. And I honestly feel that way about the folks in the sunken place (Candace owens, Tim Scott, etc).

They should've ran a primary and let him be a one term president. I saw this coming two years ago and have expressed as much a lot. I don't care who runs against Trump...other than RFK Jr.... I'm voting for them.

The thing is Biden is doing a really good job and prob the most successful legislative president in my lifetime. Even if he had an average debate, i think he would have pull ahead. The economy is humming along. Inflation is down to 3%. Wage gap is out pacing inflation. Longest streak of low Unemployment under 4% since the 50s. Stock Market all time high. But democrats always do a bad job of messaging and republican are bad at policy but great at messaging. Now the media is on Biden and he got to pull out some of that "people keep underestimating him" Rudy type magic.

Typical Trump convo. Just yapping nonstop and not letting the other person get a word in

Anywho, I may be mistaken but I didn’t interpret that as them being in cahoots with each other (not ruling out the possibility either). Just sounded like RFK jr called trump to check on him and tell him he’s glad he didn’t get killed. And Trump, being Trump, said “we’re gonna win” as in him and his team. Of course he ignored the fact he was talking to someone else who is running his own campaign because he’s Trump

Also…..the fact he said the vaccine doses are so large they should be for a horse is HILARIOUS considering he and his cult’s ivermectin obsession

lol, Candace Owens ... I saw a headline the other day where she said on her stupid-ass podcast or whatever that the Allies "ethnically cleansed" 12 million Germans during World War II.

It must be nice not having even a shred of conscience because I'd have no idea how these grifters sleep at night.

I think people like her and Clarence Thomas were seriously bullied and outcasted by the black kids growing up. That can really mess with a person’s sense of self. Now they’re doing everything to get revenge as well as be accepted in a different community.

In her case I think it's a lot more simple: She figured out she could make a ton of money running cover for racist conservatives -- redundant, I know -- by validating their views, and she ran with it.

[Worm Guts]

Because they don't want America flooded with illegals. A position you don't have to be a white supremacist to agree with.

Is it white supremacy to suggest that illegal immigrants “are poisoning the blood of our country”?

It's certainly provocative language that I wouldn't use. I'd just rather enforce the laws and keep them out. I don't know what's white supremacy about that. A standard every other nation on Earth has, can't possibly be white supremacy. Can it?

I’m not suggesting that you shouldn’t be against illegal immigration. It’s more along the lines of are you willing support a white supremacist, or at someone who panders to white supremacists, for the sake of stopping illegal immigration?

I understand exactly where you are coming from. The whole messaging issue has been terrible. Zero facts from one side and not enough from the other to counterattack the blatant lies.

I just knew Bidens age was gonna be an issue. Here we are. He is still the better option though. We cannot have a fascist dictator establish laws or policy in this country. It's insane that people's willful ignorance will allow that to happen because gay/trans/minorities are destroying the country for them. It's blatant racism. Period.

I am a self employed blue collar guy. There is plenty of work out there but, I have noticed a slight down tick in work this year. I still work fairly regularly but, I am not overwhelmed or always booked like I had been previously.

The economy runs its cycles because that's the way it goes. The power structure now is to choke the economy for profits and tax the middle class to pick up the bill. Inflation is driven by corporate greed more than anything right now. It's also a result of Trump fiscal policies. That gets completely ignored. Shrinking the tax base for the rich. Artificially keeping the interest rates low to juice the economy and continuing to pressure them to do so during the pandemic left no wiggle room after the pandemic monies were given out. PRIMARILY TO CORPORATIONS. It's all Joe Bidens fault.

I'm going to support someone who is going to put an end to illegal immigration. It's the difference between feelings versus outcomes. Bad words are bad, bad actions are far worse.

Yeah exactly. I actually want Sotomayor to retire now so her replacement can be picked before the election.

There should be zero tolerance for this stuff. Your job is to interpret the law within the framework of the Constitution and its ammendments. You need to be impartial, be of sound mind and character, and your qualifications need to be the best of the best.
