    I forget what the name of the lieberman backed third party is, but the dems should help exotic in that party run because that is going to pull Qtards away from trump. I think some of the Qtards are just attracted to load assholes and not specifically trump so that is a good place to run him. He should probably kick any corporate goon ass in that particular party.

    Christie is probably going to get gifted a crispie cremes franchise for his campaign against trump. I am all here for it. He isn't goigh to win the primary, but he is going to rip shit out of trump in a way no other candidate will. Funnel him some money and get him on top of that clown car.

    The DNC can ignore Kennedy at their peril, but Democrats do want Biden to debate him.
    This is interesting.

    [Citation needed]Has any incumbent ever been hurt by not participating in primary debates?

    I can't find anything that says yes or no, but this article says it never bodes well for an incumbent to have a serious primary challenger.

    Wake me up when Biden has one.

    This clown is about as serious as if Cynthia McKinney had run as a Republican against Bush in '04.

    Why is it that the US cares to do more debate about who is going to be the next Batman than trying to find an actual good candidate for president?

    He has nothing to gain and everything to lose. It's not going to happen unless these numbers change.
    When your opponent is polling that low, any strategist would say no to giving that person a national platform. With the DNC not sponsoring debates, Kennedy will have to find sponsors and do them himself.

    If the evangelicals weren't concerned about Trump, you could fuck a thousand hookers whilst doing coke off the backs of a thousand more and they'd still love you as long as you promised to appoint the judges they want and end abortion.

    Well, I can see no possible way that this could ever destroy our economy.

    Ron DeSantis says he would eliminate four federal agencies if elected president
    Florida's Republican governor said he would seek to abolish the departments of Education, Commerce and Energy, as well as the IRS.


    Hey, Canada, that meth lab you're sitting over is starting to catch fire! You think it's smokey there now, just you wait! We gonna burn it all down! (Don't worry, we'll do Mexico first. We do tend to prefer our countries hot and wet, after all.)

    Abolish them, or failing that, weaponize them against "wokeness" and "leftism."

    Aren't the Republicans in Congress supposed to be deeply concerned about politicians weaponizing the government to go after their enemies? You think they'd be upset about what DeSantis is proposing here. :chris:

    Let's see...energy, polluters want to put black sludge right on your supper plate, education, they need you Cletus level stupid to keep voting for them, and of course, billionaires don't think they owe taxes even though society and labor created their wealth, because they're delusional narcissists, and hoarders.

    This shit is barely coded if at all.

    This is not a smart man. The last two Republicans to run on eliminating federal departments were Ron Paul and Rick Perry. Real big winners, those. And that’s giving him the benefit of the doubt that he understands that the Department of Energy administers our nuclear weapons, and is just pandering to a base that doesn’t. It’s possible he doesn’t either.

    Ron Paul got the same treatment that Bernie Sanders got, he was robbed.

    Finally, a reason to vote for RFK, Jr.

    Endangered Orcas in the Pacific Northwest Are Battling a Mysterious Skin Disease

    Obviously, billionaires are using secret "biological research labs" to develop bio-weapons to kill all of us, when we proles get too uppity. They've no doubt decided to test these bio-weapons on orcas since orcas are now taking out their yachts. RFK, Jr. might not be the only candidate who says that he'll get rid of such places, but he's really the only one that might actually do that. (What with him being crazy and all.)

    Granted, will lose millions of people each year due to easily preventable diseases because RFK, Jr. will also stop vaccine production. But the billionaires are going to kill us anyway and the orcas are the only ones presently taking the fight to the billionaires, so by electing RFK, Jr., it will hopefully buy us enough time by slowing the billionaires down in their efforts to kill us all, that we can work to defeat them before we all go extinct.

    Politico says Chris Christie is still trying to reach the 40,000-donor debate threshold, and I'm suddenly tempted to send him $1, except I don't want to be on those mailing lists.
