Robert F Kennedy Jr to challenge Biden for White House

Appears Joe Biden will have a challenger after all. Who wants to place bets that they will have a 3rd run in order to make sure Kennedy does NOT get the DNC nomination?

Bets?

Anyway, interesting to see he is not all in on the vaccine bandwagon. His Uncle and Father would be considered hardcore "Right Wing" conservatives in this day and age.

Robert F Kennedy Jr to challenge Biden for White House

www.bbc.com...

Robert F Kennedy Jr has filed election paperwork to run for US president in 2024 as a Democrat.

The 69-year-old is the son of assassinated Senator Robert F Kennedy and nephew of President John F Kennedy.

The environmental lawyer's campaign treasurer, John E Sullivan, confirmed the filing to CNN on Wednesday.

Mr Kennedy is an outspoken anti-vaccine campaigner. Instagram removed his account in 2021 for "repeatedly sharing debunked claims", the company said.

The collapse of U.S. influence over Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom’s new alliances with China and Iran are painful emblems of the abject failure of the Neocon strategy of maintaining U.S. global hegemony with aggressive projections of military power. China has displaced the American Empire by deftly projecting, instead, economic power. Over the past decade, our country has spent trillions bombing roads, ports, bridges, and airports. China spent the equivalent building the same across the developing world. The Ukraine war is the final collapse of the Neocon's short-lived “American Century.” The Neocon projects in Iraq and Ukraine have cost $8.1 trillion, hollowed out our middle class, made a laughingstock of U.S. military power and moral authority, pushed China and Russia into an invincible alliance, destroyed the dollar as the global currency, cost millions of lives and done nothing to advance democracy or win friendships or influence.

Well this will be fun won't it 😁

Seriously?

Popcorn... where's the popcorn?

This could be the political side show of the season, if they adopt more World Wide Wrestling plot creation techniques.

It's all moot though, being political theater and all, but hey... I still enjoy cartoons so, why not this?

I was in a store last week and there was a very very elderly man, I’m talking 90/100 looking, old dude.
He was buying bath products for his wife and forgot what scent, and he said sorry he was having a Biden moment. I had to laugh out loud. Pretty bad when even the very elderly are joking on him.

Bring in some new blood, Kennedy, Desantis, someone, anyone that won’t fall asleep, poop their pants (cough cough Trump) or need uppers to do speech!

Sounds like he is a long shot, every paper or story I read highlights him being anti-vaccine, but it does make it interesting I suppose its all up to how hard he goes after the Scranton Scrapper, the Delaware Dementia Demon. FWIW it could easily be just controlled opposition they have somebody to run that gives and appearance of an actual race, and throwing a Kennedy in there might be the reason

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nephew of President John F. Kennedy and son of former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, is running for president as a Democrat, according to a statement of candidacy filed with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday.

Kennedy, an outspoken anti-vaccine activist and the chair of the anti-vaccine nonprofit group Children’s Health Defense, is the second Democrat to officially enter the 2024 race. Self-help author Marianne Williamson launched her second White House bid in March.

Both Kennedy’s and Williamson’s bids are seen as long-shots in a Democratic primary that will likely pit them against President Joe Biden. Though Biden has yet to officially enter the race, he has repeatedly said he plans to run for reelection.

Kennedy, a former environmental lawyer, has long led the charge in the anti-vaccine movement, spreading conspiracy theories about the dangers they pose to children. During the Covid-19 pandemic, he was among those who attacked vaccine requirements, accusing Anthony Fauci, the leading infectious disease doctor, of orchestrating “fascism” during the pandemic.

Is Kennedy actually anti vaccine or merely pro autonomy?

Looking at our country’s degree of divide, it is the only choice they have, if we are to stand a chance at holding on to even a weak standing on the global stage.

To continue with the covert mockery and the destabilization of our country it is necessary to continue the pretend. It would be too obvious to put into office a woman, especially a woman of color, and even more obvious if they put up a trans woman.

If they put any other than an old an old white man at this time, it would shake America completely off its foundation. There would be nothing left. It would all be over. Nothing left but a whimper, a dead country, with broken people. Free for the taking.

love Rfk, but he is antivaccine . most democrats are not. might have some obstacles to over come. But he would be a breath of fresh air in the democratic party a reply to: infolurker

It doesn't really matter which because they are already characterizing him as "anti-vaccine." On the other hand.... before the great push for the Covid jab, that is, when everyone who wanted it, had it, it was basically 50/50 in the US. Only AFTEr the threat of jobs, not going to a movie etc. happened did another 25% line up.
