No. It's his stance on global warming.

Perhaps he's moderated a little bit since, but this was unfortunate:

I do not trust RFK Jr. Remember invitees to his birthday party were required to be covid jabbed to attend. When challenged on this, he blamed his wife! But did not change her policy on the required jabs. I'll never trust him.

Kennedy himself, defending his wife's decision which supposedly conflicted with his own stance on covid jabs. How do you trust someone Iike that?

A marriage has a different set of dance steps and conditions that apply. Some people, I'm thinking of his wife are governed by their fears and perceived responsibilities.

I can just say, those dance steps can be difficult to master but necessary for the harmony of the relationship.

That's a lovely way to describe a marriage.

In RFK Jr's specific situation here, if this were merely a private matter matter, I wouldn't criticize. But for someone whose public reputation rests in great part on his stance against covid jabs (even though he has other public interests), this particular episode smacked of hypocrisy. (Especially since his placing blame on his wife seemed to me more like a facile exercise in escaping responsibility rather than a respectful explanation.)

Im moving toward ethical anarchism more rapidly. no idea if I'll vote at all. consider the government just a branch of the mafia. that said, nobody is going to be perfect. Frederick Douglass — 'I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.'

That's a scary, no sad, no pathetic thought... that she would not vote given a choice between someone who wants to Make America Great and someone who wants to destroy America - there couldn't be a more clear cut choice and with a great record in Trump and a horrific record in Kakala. That she would not vote when it is people who do not vote who have gotten us into this awful predicament. That she would not vote when it is her most important civic function as an American.

Its astonishing to me that there is anyone, at this point, after what we have witnessed in the past 3.7 years, that anyone would not be lining up early to vote for Trump.

I promise this, if she doesn't vote, the criminals will vote for her if she "votes" by mail. They are counting on lazy people to not vote. They have systems in place so they know who has, and who has not voted every day of these ridiculous multi week elections (and which are a violation of the Constitution - but who cares about the Constitution if not the Citizens it protects) so they know who they can vote for. They have historical voting records which shows who does and does not vote election after election. They have election fraud down to a science.

"King of the who?"

"The Britons."

"Who are the Britons?"

"We all are, we are all Britons, and I am your king!"

make american great again showman had 4 years and didn't bother. if you genuinely think elections are honest or matter in the slightest, have at it. and of course if you think you and your fellow citizens are incapable of behaving well and cooperating together for the mutual common good, go ahead and be all for a gang of thugs who can do whatever they want to you called government. and you'll notice I at least had the courtesy to address you directly instead of this childish if she this and if she that.

What Trump accomplished with both hands tied behind his back and a gun pointed at his head.

Trump did the following:

1) stopped ISIS cold


2) EO stopping the drug companies from charging medicare more than what they charged foreign countries


3) EO forcing hospitals to disclose their prices


4) Move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem


5) ENERGY INDEPENDENCE for the first time in my lifetime of 70 years, and record low energy prices


6) Started no new wars
 6A) Abraham Accords, bringing peace to the middle east instead of war


7) Elimination of regulations, required to eliminate 8 to add a new one


8) Cut Taxes across the board


9) Increased the individual tax credit eliminating the need to file more complicated returns


10) Started the space force, sorely needed today


11) Replaced NAFTA with an agreement better for American workers


12) Put tariffs on china, starting the process of moving American production out of the enemy’s land


13) Brought back massive amounts of money saved in foreign countries


14) Withdrew from the farce know as the Paris Climate Accords


15) Withdrew from the Iran deal


16) Increased the $$$ of the average family by over 5K


17) Started the process of fixing the VA


18) Increased the spending by other NATO countries


19) Killed the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)


20) Created several million jobs, actual creation not bafflegab bullshit


21) Economic growth rates were going up, somewhere around 4% before the marxist killed the economy with the scam chinaVirus


22) Lowest rate of unemployment ever, across the board for blacks, hispanics, asians, veterans, etc.


23) Opened ANWAR and had the Keystone pipeline being constructed

There is much more of course. Makes your pathetic attempt to paint Trump poorly look just like it is.

Not every government. Our present one, which must be defeated, yes.

However to imply that ALL governments should be replaced by people acting ethically (why not morally?) is illogical. People have proven themselves from the time of the fall to be unable to collectively manage their own behavior.

We are instructed to pray for our government officials. I dare say we’ve failed as a nation to do that, and thus they’ve not been held accountable for far too long. We bear the blame along with them.

I Timothy 2:1-6

2 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,

Under the current, corrupt regime, the deep state, the global marxists, you are correct. Your problem is that you have been indoctrinated to believe Trump is one of them when he is one of us.

Good point. If we rise above factions and personality cults, we’ll tap into specific talents and passions and direct them to where they’ll best serve the nation. In the right role, RFKJr could be amazing. Maybe he could dice up HHS, FTC, and DOE and return power to the states. If he’s a statesman, he’ll love working himself out a job.

If we move above factions we have a chance to survive the globalist agenda - they who purposefully and skillfully manufacture factions. sad to see us leaping into their trap

Anyone who supports global warming, or cooling, or climate change or anything else these evil people want to call it cannot be taken seriously. It is a created crisis to change global wealth and power, FULL STOP. The idea that any "scientist" TM can say they have a clue on what is going on with climate on a massive planet, rotating on a weather causing tilted axis, with a sun and moon which has profound impact on it's weather, while it is also traveling around the sun on an annual 550 MILLION MILE trip through the cosmos, and has been doing this for millions and millions of years with all matter of naturally occurring climate change has been smoking way too much weed, hash, cocaine, LSD, sniffing their chemical concoctions, etc etc. These "scientists" TM are like pollsters, liars paid to sell a narrative supporting an agenda.

Climate change has been clearly and soundly debunked more times than brandon has had his depends changed (that's a lot) and kakala has nauseatingly cackled and yet, for power and money, the corrupt criminals will never give it up. And a small number of loud mouth indoctrinated loons support the insanity.

Our world's climate changes profoundly over a 100 degrees in a year in many places in the world and yet these buffoons are going to tell us a 2 degree change in a 100 years will kill off humanity. Insanity and its why fools like AOC and that dimwit delusional child greta "How dare you" thunberg are allowed to "lead" the charge.
