I’m excited about the RFK Jr endorsement! For one, I think it affirms many people’s sense that RFK, while politically and ideologically liberal, is also a man of principle and, like you said, for the reasons you stated, exceedingly brave. He also knows the deep state. Like, seeing the whites of their eyes kind of know - but isn’t one of them. One of the ruling elite, perhaps. But he still hates those who killed his dad and uncle and (probably) nephew/niece-in-law. I think he could have a net positive effect both on the election and on our nation in a support role.

I just hope he stays alive to make his endorsement, and of course well beyond.

Why does he support the Zionist genocide in Gaza if he isn't part of the Deep State?

I agree with Tim. Israel controls our Congress (three minutes of thunderous applause when Bibi entered Congress a few weeks ago, followed by 58 standing ovations from both sides of the aisle… Who gets that?).

Best we can hope for is Trump won’t accede to 🇮🇱 demands, but his recent acceptance of $100M from Miriam Adelson — which purportedly is based on Israel being allowed to annex the West Bank) is deeply disturbing.

It's abhorrent, and I wouldn't do it, but it seems likely that it's necessary to be a viable candidate in America currently.

His lack of viability has nothing to do with his blind support of world terrorism.

Let's just agree that he would be less viable (generally as a political candidate) if he alienated AIPAC, their supporters and donors. I don't like it either, but to deny the reality isn't helpful either.

Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie recently outed AIPAC on a Tucker Carlson interview, and his wife mysteriously died a week later.

Anyone who has ever received a penny from AIPAC should be charged with conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
