So what, the booing of trump will hurt Biden more down the road. Biden’s potential voters who still on the fence may interpret this as maybe RFK isn’t someone MAGA manufactured to take votes away from Biden, maybe RFK is just another democrat with different ideology than Biden, why not give him a chance.
Think this way, if the reception of Trump was the other way around, Libertarian party fully embraced Trump, that’d unite Biden voters even more, and that’s not what MAGA wants to see. |
You sound like a NYT article. “Trump booed. Why this is bad for Biden” |

In the eyes of the beholder. I look at Alito and see a racist. His actions bolster that vision. Some will ask "What does a racist look like?" Hell, I don't know but that's what Alito's photo makes me think of. The Code Of Ethics should be either enforced or rewritten.

If someone wants a candidate loved by Mike Flynn, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, and Alex Jones.
If someone wants a President, who physically, can barely talk.
And when he does talk. He says stuff like the following. I don't think Biden would've got their vote whether RFK Jr. was running or not.
| Quote: | | "Wi-Fi radiation opens up your blood-brain barrier, so all these toxins that are in your body can now go into your brain.” |
| Quote: | | "Kennedy has said as recently as July that “there’s no vaccine that is safe and effective” and called the COVID vaccine “the deadliest vaccine ever made.” |
| Quote: | | “What do you think is a greater threat to the republic, censorship or January 6?” Kennedy asked, then clarified that the answer is censorship. “You could blow up the Capitol and we’d be okay if we have a First Amendment.” |
| Quote: | | “Well, you read little tiny bits, but you’re not reading about the kids that I read about every day,” he says. “New children dying. If an individual died of COVID, it’s front-page. If a guy dies of the COVID vaccine, you will not find it in a paper. That’s not right.” |
| Quote: | | Then there’s former Fox host Tucker Carlson, with whom Kennedy seems to have a burgeoning bromance. “For years, I was trying to get Fox News to take endocrine disruptors seriously. It’s a toxin that affects sexuality in children. I’ve been fighting them for 40 years. So about a year ago, Tucker Carlson did a show, finally. He did a really detailed show on endocrine disruptors and the whole Democratic left came down against him. What is that about?” |

Donald Trump was loudly booed during his speech at the Libertarian Party convention. Here’s why that’s bad news for Joe Biden. |

A Memorial Day message to all the brave soldiers who gave their lives in service to this country. Or as Trump refers to them, "suckers and losers."
| Quote: | Donald J. Trump Posts From His Truth Social @TrumpDailyPosts
Happy Memorial Day to All, including the Human Scum that is working so hard to destroy our Once Great Country, & to the Radical Left, Trump Hating Federal Judge in New York that presided over, get this, TWO separate trials, that awarded a woman, who I never met before (a quick handshake at a celebrity event, 25 years ago, doesn’t count!), 91 MILLION DOLLARS for “DEFAMATION.” She didn’t know when the so-called event took place - sometime in the 1990’s - never filed a police report, didn’t have to produce the “dress” that she threatened me with (it showed negative!), & sung my praises in the first half of her CNN Interview with Alison Cooper, but changed her tune in the second half - Gee, I wonder why (UNDER APPEAL!)? The Rape charge was dropped by a jury! Or Arthur Engoron, the N.Y. State Wacko Judge who fined me almost 500 Million Dollars (UNDER APPEAL) for DOING NOTHING WRONG, used a Statute that has never been used before, gave me NO JURY, Mar-a-Lago at $18,000,000 - Now for Merchan!

In contrast...
| Quote: | Barack Obama @BarackObama
One of the greatest honors of my life was the privilege of serving as commander-in-chief, and with pride also came sometimes heartbreak and loss. And the sober recognition of the sacrifices that so many Americans and their families have made to preserve our freedom.
On Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We owe them so much, and their memories will never be forgotten. |

The irony of Trump showing up at the Libertarian convention when he is in favor of using the power of the Federal government to enforce many of his initiatives is not lost on some people. |

He promptly went to a NAASCAR event and posed waving to a crowd that wasn’t even cheering him.

| Quote: | Trump told donors he will crush pro-Palestinian protests, deport demonstrators
Trump has waffled on whether the Israel-Gaza war should end. But speaking to wealthy donors behind closed doors, he said that he supports Israel’s right to continue “its war on terror.”
[...]
“One thing I do is, any student that protests, I throw them out of the country. You know, there are a lot of foreign students. As soon as they hear that, they’re going to behave,” Trump said on May 14, according to donors at the event.

It was an unfortunate incident. They had no idea that civilians were at risk.

In fact, Israel must take every precaution possible to protect civilians.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the government was investigating the "tragic accident" which he told parliament occurred "despite our best efforts" to protect civilians. |

Of course they should. I was being sarcastic.

| So it was a secondary explosion after a jeep full of rockets was hit (there’s a video floating around with some non-Hamas Palestinians talking about it while the fire burns). The same rockets Hamas has been firing into Israel, and smuggling using the tunnels to Egypt that supposedly didn’t exist until Rafah was invaded. Why were the rockets parked there? Probably the same reason Hamas hides their operations in schools and hospitals. |
