Maybe the philandery?

Good answer. I was genuinely struggling for a moment there trying to think of something (was sure there had to be something...the pro-Israel stance?). But a lack of respect for women is probably the only thing they'd be on the same page about. And for RFK that's largely because he's, like, from 50 years ago, and never got to change with the times.

No wonder some talking head called him the “Jeffrey Dahmer of the animal kingdom.” The Behind the Bastards podcast did a four-part series on RFK Jr… He had a thing for eating random dead animals, not necessarily killed for that purpose…It makes some sense that this is where the brain worm came from.


The man has Issues. Like running out of freezer space!

A state judge knocked Kennedy off the state's ballot earlier this month, ruling that he had falsely claimed to live in New York on his nominating petitions, despite actually living in California.

Just goes to show you how insane anti-vaxxers are, he thinks vaccines are poison but will eat random dead animals scraped off the road.

EDIT: As an aside, when I was going to school in WI, I came home one day to find two of my roommates skinning a deer in the garage where we lived. They said it was roadkill but I always wondered if they were doing that in the garage to keep it out of sight for some reason. At the time I was just grossed out, can't imagine thinking it's OK to eat roadkill that's been laying out there who knows how long.

Roadkill is a sought after thing in some places. When a deer would be hit, Troopers would have us call from a list of hunters willing to go out and collect it. I forget what the time period was that it would still be safe, but it wasn't very long.

From my understanding, it’s quite common in Alaska. Mostly moose.

Sheesh, only just read (in an article about his travails trying to get his name _off_ the ballot) that in Wisconsin RFK jr was nominated by the Natural Law Party. Those were the lot who stood in elections here years ago, promoting 'yogic flying' (bouncing up and down with your legs crossed). They are really really odd.

And RFK is now similarly stuck on the Michigan ballot after judge denied his lawsuit trying to get off. So for now JFK is on ballot in North Carolina (with pending lawsuit, but mail ballots are already printed and go out next week), Wisconsin, and Michigan at least for swing states. All of which probably help Kamala Harris a tiny bit - where every tenth of a percent matters in those swing states.

Sidenote on Michigan, just confirmed Jill Stein and Cornel West are both also on the Michigan ballot ~ which will likely more than offset any net benefit of still having RFK stuck on the ballot.

Upon further appeal, North Carolina republican appellate court overturns the state board of elections and the initial court ruling against RFK, with no explanation given as to reason.

Appeals court now ordering the removal of RFK from North Carolina ballots which were already printed (with RFK on it) and mandated by law to be mailed out today. Effectively ordering the state elections board to violate the law, to help Trump. At the sole expense of taxpayers.

NC absentee ballots will be delayed, including absentee overseas military ballots, and the state will apparently be on the hook to fund the cost of reprinting and re-addressing all 2.9 million ballots that had been set to mail out today. Solely to try to help Trump by getting RFK off of the ballot.

Fortunately it's a relatively low number, I guess, at 132k ballots?

Another batshit court ruling. There is no feasible way to reprint or alter all those ballots by Friday.

2.9 million printed ballots to be thrown out. "Only" 132k of which had been stuffed into envelopes along with return envelope, addressed, and stamped for mailing today.

Ah. Yeah, well. Law and order and fiscal responsibility and all that, I suppose.

Sounds like a back door way to hold up early voting of which Dems embrace.

Well, this first 132k batch of ballots was primarily for overseas and out of state military personnel, which is closer to an even split, but if this drags out, yeah helpful for Repubs who have been mind-warped by Trump into hating mail in ballots.

That's an interesting point ... I'd like to see the registration break down on those voters. Might end up biting Trump in the ass if they're delayed and not returned on time.

So this is happening in September. A Rally in DC of former fringe leftist anti-vaxxers, wounded Bernie children and disaffected libertopians who now simp for Trump.
This is relevant because RFK Jr is slated to be a featured blabber.

It features a who's who of anti-vaxxer Covid disinformation propagandists and a few right-wing nutjobs.

The common theme is they feel oppressed because their Covid-19 misinformation/disinformation was censored by online platforms (along with rabid anti-LGTBQ and a touch of racist views).

Covid dramatically changed the political dynamic. Whereas once anti-vaxxers and fringe nutters were evenly divided left and right, it appears virtually all have raced to the right as MAGA has opened it's arms and happily welcomed AND mainstreamed all of the batshit in the world. Because many got censored and deplatformed during Covid, they see the left as anti-free speech. And of course the main organizer is Bret Weinstein.

Jimmy Dore recently did a video promoting this dumpster fire of whining disinformation spreaders on his YouTube channel.

I bet a host of Russian money has been flowing to these clowns too.
