Some people type "lol". I really mean it. I laughed so loud I woke the cat up.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Offering RFK Jr a cabinet post is literally the only thing that would make me not vote Den this November.
Lmao.
After he secretly recorded and published his call with Trump on Twitter I doubt politicians are eager to engage with him.
He wants to get in the white house bad. Maybe he knows the secret location of scroll that contains the knowledge of whom had his his dad and uncle killed, national treasure style.
They could make him a worm ambassador
Was searching specifically for this comment
Robert Evans just did a 4 part series on RFK Jr. and it is fascinating. Links below (on spotify because that's what I've got, sorry)
I highly recommend the Behind the Bastards podcast overall. It's a great way to get your heart rate and blood pressure up to really enhance your cardio workouts or stay awake on long road trips. You will be intensely angry at everything, but it helps. :)
Even Robert was taken aback by some of that shit, Cody sounded broken at the end, I need to check the Showdy and see if he pulled himself Back out of it
The podcast that radicalized me
I found the first series of It Could Happen Here first, then I realized I’d been reading him since Cracked and then I was radicalized by Robert
Exactly why I have to take it in bursts. Even Knowledge Fight makes me (usually) less depressed/angry in general (though Alex can really piss me off, but he's also fucking stupid and I can at least laugh at him more often), so BtB is the hardest to consistently listen to for me. Not because it isn't good, but because well, the eponymous bastards earn that title.
The excitement is always tempered with anxiety whenever a new btb series pops up in my feed...
The RFK episodes aren’t depressing for the most part. They are just really funny besides some of the shitty things RFK does that gets people killed…
“So uhhh thanks for coming in, don’t call us - we’ll call you.”
Head of Mental Health?
Dept of Falconry and Animal Disposal
“I’m willing to meet with leaders of both parties to discuss the possibility of a unity government," Kennedy told the Post.
What…? A unity government…? Unity with who? RFK’s literal brainworm?
Try to have some empathy. That poor brain eating worm starved to death.
My apologies - I did not mean to offend or denigrate the suffering of his brainworm.
They go low, we go high.
That was a stupid tactic when it was suggested, and it’s a stupid tactic now.
I was joking.
