CTH has expressed our concerns previously. I always hope to be wrong about intelligence community connected politicians. That said, I shall be a good team player and hope/pray to be wrong about RFK JR.
Robert F Kennedy Jr is introduced by President Trump at a MAGA rally in Arizona. According to RFK Jr earlier in the day, President Trump promised a position in the Trump administration. From the remarks tonight, I suspect that position offered is FDA Commissioner.
During his introduction President Trump heaped effusive praise on Robert F Kennedy as the crowd chanted, “Bobby, Bobby, Bobby!” It was quite an exciting moment in an auditorium filled with over 20,000 supporters. WATCH:

I’ve learned a lot from Sundance and have posted many links to his work at vivabarneslaw.locals.com in the last four years. But I thought he went way off the rails in suggesting that RFK Jr is some kind of IC-controlled opposition or deep state plant.
While I don’t agree with RFK Jr about climate change and several other issues, he is and has been as good as it gets on censorship, Ukraine, the Deep State, Covid, Big Pharma, the forever wars, Big Ag, the capture of the three letter agencies and the health crisis in the U.S. And on most of those issues, he is a more knowledgeable and more effective communicator than Donald Trump.
We are at war. Failing to recognize who your allies are and mistaking them for agents of your enemies is a big mistake.
RFK’s speech today was one of the very best speeches I’ve ever heard, and I’ve been listening to speeches since the 1960 presidential election.
Time will tell.
Hope springs eternal 🙏🏻
Amen!!! 😂
Remind us again of the RINOS like George Bush, Mitt Romney and Mitch McConnell that have endorsed President Trump like this tonight?
They have not the wit or the love of country or its citizens to do it, Joe.
Self and wealth is all to them.
And to think of RFJ’s family’s reaction.
Yeesh. What a train wreck the Kennedy family is now.
Remember that John F Kennedy Jr was a great good friend of President Trump’s. In his publication George Magazine, he said (paraphrasing) that should his “good friend, Donald Trump,” decide to run for the presidency he would make a great one.
I’m still suspicious of the plane crash which killed him…given the timing of his rumoured run for senator for NY, which the repellent Hillary Clinton won.
Hillary is evil. I suspect she was involved somehow.
The favourite method of the MIC to eliminate opponents is via airplane crashes! That’s from Col Tony Schaeffer on Judge Napolitano recently.
Dont be….It was a case of THE all too familiar…. and LETHAL…. “Get there-itis”…… It continues to kill pilots REGULARLY….
AND i would add (imho) a wee bit of a possibly genetic sense of invincibility…. Everyone remotely involved in aviation at the time, felt it was an amateur irresponsible reckless decision to take off into those conditions. PERIOD.
Clayton, there is no PERIOD. I had twenty two years flying with the U.S. Navy and with a background in Safety at the time of his crash. True, “gethomeitis” is real, however, I remember thinking to myself at the time, ” something doesn’t add up. This was before I became the cynical SOB I am today. Even with a quick refresher look at Wiki for the stated weather/meteorological conditions at the time, it still doesn’t add up for me. Maybe he plowed in, maybe not. Too many coincidences around an emerging political figure.
Just my 37 cents worth.
There is no suspicion over his death. JFK Jr was a newbie pilot that should have an experienced pilot with him when flying through the fog to Martha’s Vineyard. I believe he was flying a 1 prop plane. He lost his bearings in the fog and crashed nose 1st. No mechanical error. End of story.
At least that is what the IC controlled fake news was spewing.
.
Most of them are just basically mediocre people who have inherited money.
.
It’s not difficult to have a great speach written and to deliver it well. Harris did that last night (although hers, admittedly, had little substance). I just hope RFK was honest. It’s hard to just give anyone the benefit of the doubt anymore.
I thought she was still cringe, not with words, but with the hand gestures, the mouth always open in a large smile. Why is that bad? Because everyone already had criticized her endless laugh and wide open smile. Crossing her arms in front of her breast, smiling, smiling, smiling….the nation is crumbling and she’s smiling.
It’s hard to think like they do especially when we realize where she will take the country. BUT they loved the speech and will take off work to vote break the law to ensure the fake ballots show up these people are sick in the head.
She had time to rehearse her facade over and over.
Her track record on being lucid is enough to make one want to cackle and grin.😏
Actually it’s difficult for Jr. to deliver a speech at all, let alone well.
That’s a bit low.
Nope. How about it shows a complete lack of empathy for a brilliant person with a disability? Wonder how Clarion felt about Stephen Hawking.
But he did very well.
He had no teleprompter.
Great post. As I wrote earlier today, one of Sundance’s favorite meme line over the past four year has been “Whatever it Takes”.
And yet, when we got to the ‘whatever’ bridge his feet got a little cold. Or so it seemed.
Time will tell. There is no downside to this. We need to win. Deal with the rest later.
They are both targets now.
Maybe he really did fall out of a coconut tree a born again Patriot.
I could give a real humdinger of an unscripted speech, making all the right noises for appointment as head of the FDA, at which I would most definitely excel.
One only needed to read JFK Jr.’s The Real Anthony Fauci book to know he is not IC-Controlled opposition.
Masterly. And incredibly difficult to read because it was copiously annotated.
Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein wrote about Vietnam and Nixon.
Turns out they were IC assets.
😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣
Kennedy has been very upfront about everything. He was not meeting with Deep Throats in some dark parking lot. lol
The response from Barnabas Duke is telling… I will be very suspicious of everyone given how Trump was completely sabotaged by an army of back stabbers in his first term.
RFK Jr just a few weeks ago, leaked the details of his call with Trump to the enemy.. not exactly trustworthy behaviour.
Amen, you tell ’em!!!
don’t trust jr’s snake vp – poison
“RFK Jr just a few weeks ago, leaked the details of his call with Trump to the enemy.. not exactly trustworthy behaviour.”
I had to wonder: Did he leak it, or did the IC leak it. If there were saboteurs all around Trump courtesy of the IC, wouldn’t it stand to reason that there are assets ready to sabotage all others at need as well?
RFK III did that.
And didn’t RFK, Jr. apologize?
…all of the backstabbers were Republicans!
🤫🍻🤣
Maybe it was part a trick and they were both in it together.
I don’t think we know for sure who leaked it.
Agreed Centaur. Suspicious Cat is still around.
😃 😀 😄
OOOPS, There it is!
There’s what? It’s from three months ago during his campaign. Do we know that RFK2 even wrote it? No!
Do you always get so triggered when someone disagrees with thou?
You mean it’s not three months old?
GTFigOutta here! C’mon man!
But it’s on his personal account and he hasn’t disavowed the content.
Okay, one of his campaign aides or his pissed-off kids wrote it. So what!
He has still not disavowed it. Convenient that you didn’t address that.
BTW, it seems you have promoted Bobby more over the last few days than I ever remember you promoting Trump this much and vehemently in such a short time span.
Just sayin.
🤔
I think that’s what the Responsibility Disclaimer is about, so we can trust a politician won’t later say something like ‘That was 3 Months Ago’ or ‘I Did Not Write That’ about an ad or post.
If you’re saying he changes his position as much as Kamala depending on the political climate, if not more so, I agree!
Seriously… ?
REALLY strange bedfellows.
The photo up top
shows true intention
….deranged eyes and awkward (defensive and/or ready to attack) stance.
The VSG exudes distrust
(awareness).
I had noticed that junior wasn’t smiling at all. I also noticed the roar from the crowd: BOBBY BOBBY BOBBY.. that I found somewhat disconcerting.
I heard that RFK Jr was interested in a few of President Trump’s MAGA policies, but I didn’t think that MAGAdonians were all that interested in Bobby Kennedy.
I imagine that venue would be quite intoxicating for Kennedy to take in. I just hope that he understands who they were actually there to see.
Bobby could have been a real contender if the Democrats had allowed a primary. He is not a Republican and has a family dynasty hating him for this move. This is a gutsy move and courageous, but like Trump, he sees what needs to be done to make a change. He is not on home territory and must be overwhelmed by the love of the crowd.
He also must know they love him because he is there with Trump .
So, I see both men wanting to work together for the country and both men realize the current corruption in Washington DC is destroying the country.
Amwar el-Sadat of Egypt was a man in his time, the 1970’s I seem to remember, who was willing to broker peace with Israel. He was assassinated because of the Camp David Peace Accords,but he wanted to change the state of affairs and make the world a little better.
Men who stand outside of politics and do what is right are rare indeed. We will see how this works.
Glad it wasn’t just me! I hope he has seen the light, but he didn’t look happy to have been invited to our party. Good to have a VSGDJT to sort it out for us once again!
OMG! Have you walked onto a stage where 20,000 people were waiting for you to speak…without a script? Maybe, he’s just a little nervous. 🤔
And he may have expected booing instead of such a resounding welcome. I think he felt humbled. And profoundly grateful that his life’s work hasn’t ended with the ending of his presidential run. As MaineCoon posted, President Trump gave him an opportunity to leave a legacy that can only benefit us.
Ah, geez… Could you maybe find and read MaineCoon’s post? The man did something difficult and extraordinary today — joining forces with MAGA. Was he propelled out of self interest? Of course! Do I care? Nope, not if he helps to make the election too big to rig! “Whatever it takes.”
How about two men, for a split second lost in thought, knowing they are entering uncharted territory and feeling their enormous responsibility, that the camera managed to capture?
Well the part about the Ukraine, Syria and Trump appointing neocons is correct.
I think it is true that the Republican machine got in Trumps way a lot. The characterization that Trump scammed workers is untrue. But this in the context of a campaign…an attack against an opponent…so not sure how much weight it should be given. President Trump was ruthless on his primary challengers in 2016 and then turned around and did his best to work with some of them.
Definitely don’t think Trump should bring Kennedy in too close…he should be wary. Both said there are things they do not agree on…but were going to unite on the issues they do agree on.
Yeah, we won’t forget all of that, either (political campaign speech or not)
However, that is like a surgery sweet love letter compared to what he said about the democrats today. 😁
Exactly, the Republican machine. Can you say McConnell? How about Ryan? Or McCarthy? PDJT got done what he could, considering he was surrounded by Quislings, Judas’s, and traitors, it was lot. Perfection? Far from it. It will be different the second time around. PDJT is not a man to forget what he learned in Round One. This RFK, Jr., thing is a whipsaw. I think RFK, Jr., did the right thing. He can see where this country is headed if Que Mala wins. Country first. What they can agree on, if allowed to happen, will truly be marvelous I think. We shall see. God protect them both because they are truly in the crosshairs of Evil.
RFKJr hasn’t disclaimed any of the statements against President Trump he made in that Twitter post. President Trump, on the other hand, probably didn’t give RFKJr the leg up to the position Bobby is looking for in the 47 administration, given the look on Bobby’s face during the introduction at the Trump rally.
And while President Trump made a pledge to release all records on JFK, he made no mention of a similar release of records on RFK. Seems to me like an arms length receipt by President Trump of a less than fulsome “endorsement” of support from RFKJr.
RFKJr out of the race in swing states will sharpen the GOTV Electoral College efforts for the Trump campaign, as other Treepers have mentioned in these comments. What a race.
Your reading too much into things. There was no federal crime when RFK was murdered in Los Angeles hence no federal commission.
Well, I’ve never been on Twitter and now thanks to Elon I can’t even view it. Sure wish this had been posted before. Can you just image the chit chat “PDJT, his family and others” (per JR’s presser) said to him in the MAL meeting? Whatever was said, Jr looked fairly humbled and somewhat uncomfortable tonight. He’s in MAGA world now. He has a lot to learn in the next 6 months. If he steps out of line, no second chances.
I’ve never been a Twitter user, ever, and had no problem reading the full posting from the link in Sundance’s post. Nothing fancy, just a normal browser window in Brave.
He sure had a lot to say. Quite an essay.
I can read a link but Elon stopped allowing people without accounts to browse postings without a link.

“…complicated business, folks!”
A lot is true if we take emotion out of it. Tillerson was a fiasco. Slow firing of many traitors. I think his first term he was unprepared totally when he won. Then he thought the Republicans LOVED America like he did at the time. He was Screwed over daily sometimes 2-3 times in one day. I remember him stating he asks people to do things and it never is done. I am hoping he now realizes he must wipe out everybody possible on day one plus 45% unauthorized and see they wont do anything same as when the DEMS. Do it. I truly hope he has a group of 500 loyal people he can set in place to tear things down. But I also realize we live in the last days of this age AKA the church age of the Bible. Although America is not mentioned in the Bible we must loose much of our military and Financial power for the Events to take place as Jesus said they would. Currently most of the world is against Israel they loose the US then the nations can line up against the small Nation sitting directly below Jesus Throne. When they call out in unison that he is the Messiah proving to the whole world God exists the sky will open like a scroll Jesus will return and destroy the nations. The Holy Spirit indwells my soul strongly. G.
In Trump’s first term everyone was thinking there had to be a method to his madness surrounding himself with his enemies.
There wasn’t. Here we go again.
And JD Vance called Trump Hitler. Yawn.
But he was running against Trump in May. Of course he’s going to create some dirt against his opponent. Jr is a politician through and through.
May 26, 2024!!!!!🫡
Uh-oh
Thanks for the response, Sundance.
But nothing in RFK Jr’s post changes the truth of anything I said about his positions.
What’s your response to all of those well documented positions of RFK Jr.?
And to his two decades of representing local fishermen in cleaning up the Hudson River and suing 500 polluters?
Or the years of litigation on behalf of Children’s Health Defense against the jab and against the censorship?
It is simply not believable to me that all of that was faked.
He was a classic liberal. Before I became a populist, I was too. He described succinctly in the speech what the Democrats used to be and what they’ve become.
Thanks again for your body of work, which has been very valuable.
Agreed
Okay, but I also remember PDJT insulting Ben Carson.
And honestly, some of that criticism is valid… but we all know politics is a dirty business . It is worthy to remember that Trump was true to his promise of not plunging us in yet another war and didn’t support the castration and mutiation of children.
Trust, but verify…
The reason he dropped out is because nobody hears about anything you mention unless they are his followers or outside the US.
He seems perfectly aware of the media blackout on the topics he professes to fight. That’s how uniparty anger mgrs get paid, pretending to share your anger, while holding your trust as nothing comes of it time and again.
RFK2 said that he’s backed off on both climate change and gun control. Not totally, of course, but he says he’s for reasonable efforts not draconian.
You’re right!
There is no such thing as a “reasonable” effort to exert government control over our choices of behavior, blamed on weather,
or our natural right of self defense.
FDA would be a good pick for Jr.
It’s better than the continuous BIG PHARMA to FDA back and forth that has been going on for years.
I only heard of independent task forces.
Not trusting a snake, but this does change the dynamic.
And completely took the foul breeze out of the DNC.
Same here; both in President Trump’s comments earlier in the day in Las Vegas, and this evening in Arizona – only heard mention of independent task forces.
That was reassuring to hear, no huge commitments – golly, President Trump has become a politician!
I also heard RFK Jr ‘endorsing’ PT during his presser. Not certain how his donor VP will factor in? She is a bit of a walking mess. And too well-connected to Sergey.
Arms’-length bedfellows?
She got her moment of fame. She can cash in on that in the future.
Ten foot pole bedfellows..
As I’ve said, Jr. didn’t deserve all the character assassination that came his way.
Neither does Nicole. She listened to some good and decent people who were practically begging her to get out of the race lest she and RFK Jr. inadvertently help the Harris regime.
She’s getting bashed from all sides for it.
She was/is superb at hitting back at the Dems.
I appreciate the big picture that Sundance has given us. I would not have understood the dynamics of all the DS machinations were it not for his keen insights and extraordinary research. His ability to connect dots is something that is hard to find anywhere else. Idk about RFK. We will have to see how it all plays out. I am grateful for my training to be an always Suspicious Cat.
Getting her voice out there could really help tear down the Dem Party.
And I’m all for that.
“Jr. didn’t deserve all the character assassination that came his way.”
Yet you found it necessary to mock his speech farther up (or down) this thread. You do know he has a disability, right??
As more political battles are getting fought in court, it is good to have perhaps the best civil litigator in the business on your side.
Never thought of that. Outstanding insight!
Sundance, I get it. I too have some pretty deep seated concerns about RFK. On the other hand, I consider that PDJT is the master of the art of the deal. When he was in office he was working on deals with Kim Jong Ill, the middle east, Mexico, Putin, XiJinPing, corporations and labor, Nato, and on and on. And here’s the real rub, these weren’t namby-pamby one sided concession deals they were fair deals that gained advantage for us.
RFK I hear is pretty whacked-out on things like the climate. What a brilliantly nuanced shift (deal) to put him in charge of rooting out the dangers present in our environment, medicine, and food leading to chronic disease, infertility, autism, autoimmune disorders, etc.
Trump was plagued with wolves in sheeps clothing in his first term. I look at him bringing on RFK (perhaps the only real democrat) as paying the neighborhood ruffians to watch your house while you’re away on vacation.
The dems (Godless-marxist-globalist devils) could have worked a deal with RFK but they are too stupidly, narcissisticly obsessed with smelling their own butts to havr realized any value in it. Trump made the deal happen.
Finally, sort of knocks the wind immediately out of the sails from their just ended pathetic little pep rally.
I hope Trump keeps a close eye on RFK but I hope we may be pleasantly surprised by where this goes. Strangely, or not, my gut tells me RFK may, as somewhat of an outlier like President Trump, be more awake and have more integrity than many of the supposed “republican” allies who have hitched their wagons to PDJT’s star.
I was talking with my mom earlier today how we used to scoff at some of the conspiracy theories out there about assassination of JFK well lo and behold they are looking to be accurate. I also told mom about the substantive study out recently about flouridated water lowering kids IQ. Remember how we laughed at Colonel Jack T Ripper (zapping our bodily fluids) in Dr. Strangelove (Mandrake, have you ever seen a Ruskie drink water? No they drink vodka)
Well…lo and behold!
Maybe RFK becomes the Devils Advocate of conspiracy theories.
Weird that RFK Jr. (in his earlier statement),
1) emphasized that he was staying on the Ballot in other States,
2) encouraged people to vote for him, and
3) said hey, ya never know, I could still be elected Prez if this that and the other thing happened.
Then he went to Trump’s Rally to speak.
Got on stage, asked several “Don’t you want a Prez who….?” to which the crowd roared Yes!! Yay!” to every single point. All of the things were things that he -and Trump- would both support.
>>> And never once said he was endorsing Trump.<<<
Just sayin’, it was the weirdest “endorsement speech” that I ever heard.
Perhaps he avoided the term endorsement to avoid landing himself and Trump in hot water should they not be victorious. They could both be charged over a “quid pro quo” endorsement in return for a job.
Agreed. There may be some further negotiations. There could be other states that could ‘turn’ red, and he should remove his name from their roster. Virginia being one of them.
Probably a lot of further cajoling and number-crunching this afternoon and tomorrow.
Maybe PT had to show JFK Jr the CROWD.
VA still hadn’t decided on putting Kennedy on the ballot, so all he has to do is withdraw his nomination in VA. I’m sure he will and that is probably one of the 10 battleground states he is having them not have his name on the ballot. Harris is only up by 3% in latest poll in VA, and RFK Jr was polling at 6%, so this would be in play. Biden won in 2020 by 10%.
One other thing. If Trump has improved his position by 7% from 2020 in VA without the new RFK Jr effect, you can be sure that the real battleground states are well in Trump’s camp right now, fake polls or not.
The algorithms in all 50 states are the real problem. Each state can enjoy a 5 to 6% reversal, just on that technique alone.
Yes, seeing the crowd and what MAGA means to regular people is something he hasn’t seen.
Wrong, at his presser, he told people who are his supporters in the Battleground States to not vote for him but to vote for Trump because those states, he said, would determine the outcome. He said only if they were in a blue state to vote for him.
Then, a few minutes before he concluded his presser, he said he was throwing his support to Donald Trump for POTUS because they agreed on the most pressing issues.
If he said that re. “Battleground states” , I missed it. So thx for the info.
I wonder why he would tell voters in other states that he *could* possibly be Prez tho?
Something about how if the Electoral College votes were split between Harris and Trump a certain way, he could become Prez.
If he can still get 5% of the vote (hopefully all from dems) then his goal/dream of launching a bona fide 3rd party becomes a reality….and if he gets a slot in Trumps administration and is able to ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH ANY % of his goals in food and pharma….it is a YUGE WIN WIN for him…..
Remember, many ‘blue’ states are really red. I hope there is a Come to Jesus moment for RFK Jr. Otherwise, he could be a spoiler with just count shifting in these states.
To be fair, he did say in the earlier speech that he “now supports Trump”.
Just weird that he’d emphasize people should vote for him if they want. Unless he thinks he’s pulling votes from the Dems in those states.
A true endorsement is like responding ‘I do’ to the questions posed by the pastor when you get married. Kennedy did not say, ‘I do.’ And that was intentional. Notice he moved quite a distance away from Trump when he asked his rhetorical questions, which, btw, could also have been answered with Kennedy in mind, not just Trump.
It was odd in the extreme.
#3 “….said hey, ya never know, I could still be elected Prez if this that and the other thing happened.”
And pray tell, Bobby! What’s gonna happen to PDJT who is waaaaaay ahead of the competition?
Hmmmm??? 😳
TGP gave a good explanation. Staying on the ballot is states to hurt Cackle and removing himself from states where he would hurt PT. It’s one way to look at it, but it is a convoluted withdrawal.
Thx, Maine
Not if those states remove counts from PT’s column and move them into Bobby’s column.
^^^^^^^^
Machine flipping in those states for plausible deniability.
I think he is doing it this way because of his supporters who worked very hard to put him on the ballots of these states. At the beginning of his speech, he spoke about how hard they worked and gave several examples that were amazing. One NV supporter lost 25 pounds pounding the pavement to obtain signatures in the heat.
It must be difficult to feel you betrayed your loyal supporters. I think this is his way of letting them know, their work was appreciated.
Absolutely!!!
Intentionally convoluted, like most con jobs.
He endorsed him in his speech. The first 15 or 20 minutes are gold. It’s conversational and delivered great. It’s a shame his voice takes away from that. He would have been formidable as a candidate.
Yes, and if they are successful at eliminating Pres Trump, after tonight who is the crowd favorite? Vance or RFK, Jr.? I haven’t trusted and still don’t.
EXACTLY!
Make America healthy again! LFG!
No idea what LFG stands for
Let’s blanking go.
Let’s Effing Go!
Let’s EFF-ing Go!!!!!
Alrighty then….let’s…..
I just looked it up. “Let’s F’ing GO!!”
I don’t have cable TV… what’s going on over at CNN and MSNBC?
Did they go nuklear yet?
Did they go back on the air?
I am purposely listening to both tonite.
They’re flipping out!
it’s a lot of fun!!
One of his sisters was on CNN.
haha. Pretty good TV.
Hope you brought a barf bag!
Was that actually an endorsement? No! It was intended to be an ambiguous statement. An endorsement is not an ambiguous statement. An endorsement says, ‘I endorse.’
Kennedy’s sequential questions: (1) ‘don’t you want a president this? And (2) don’t you want a president that (?) also applied to himself.
I repeat that was no endorsement! Apparently, it will come once Trump delivers the ‘deliverable.’
You had the same impression I did.
He endorsed Trump in his conference earlier.
WHO suck on this….Make America Healthy Again!
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.: I Reached Out to Kamala to Talk about the Health Crisis and Important Issues – “Harris Declined to Meet or Even Speak with Me” (VIDEO)
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/08/robert-f-kennedy-jr-i-reached-kamala-talk/
If nothing else RFKJr took the wind out of comrade Kamal’s sails.
Sails ⛵️ no she has Holder’s dish towels rags
I was against this alliance until I heard RFKJr speak at today’s presser. The first half of that long speech was spoken from the head about all the things he (and Trump) dislike, but the second half of the speech was from his heart. The emotion was in his body language, his entire countenance, and the enormous compassion and passion for fixing health of our children, our food and our health industry. When he said he is 70 and he feels he has 10 years left to work and this is what he wants his legacy to be, it was then that I believed his intentions were honest and heartfelt. He will not do anything to get himself off course. It’s just too important to him.
I never thought I would change my opinion about him. I was born in MA, my gparents & extended family lived year round on Cape Cod and the other gfather had cottages where I spent summers my entire youth. But, my family was Protestant which meant in that era in MA you were Republicans. Fast forward my family moved to FL when I was 10. At 14 JFK was assassinated and my family was glued to the news. I became fascinated with the Kennedy clan, but they became the Kennedy ‘curse’ with bad stuff…the rape, Ted, Joan, Mary Jo, the womanizing, Joe stealing the ‘60 election….
My fascination grew to disdain, dislike for the Kennedy clan. I never thought I would change my mind about RFKJr, but seeing his heart, passion and compassion for the health of our kids, people and country, I can say I have changed my mind. He is just as driven in his field as President Trump is in his and he understands the IC/CIA.
His drive is laser focused. He has been given a once in a lifetime chance to reach the goal of changing our health system and food system and the only one responsible for that lifetime chance is the pure generosity of President Donald J Trump.
He looked truly humbled at the overwhelming MAGA love reception he received to the point where he seemed uncomfortable and shifting his weight and then President Trump “stepped aside” (his words, twice) to warmly welcome him and give up his microphone and audience for him to speak.
He received this love from the least excepted place – the Republicans. I can’t fathom he would ever forget this nor jeopardize this gift.
I agree, MaineCoon, I sensed that he was extremely uncomfortable standing there while President Trump was giving his introduction. I got the sense that this is a huge risk for him, and he was holding back on being too “enthusiastic”. He definitely is wading into completely uncharted waters with this decision. I really think that HE is still in the “trust, but verify” mode as much as we are.
His demeanor was appropriate. At least he didn’t come on stage like Tim Walz did the other night doing a Richard Simmons impersonation.
They are MAGA, not Republicans. Just sayin.
I agree, but RFKJr sees them as R. He’ll need to go to many more rallies for it to sink in.
I too was 14 when the Kennedy assassination occurred. Where you in school as I was when the announcement came over the intercom? It was surreal because basketball practice was not canceled, and the high school varsity football game went on as scheduled that Friday evening. Not out of disrespect, but because that’s the way things were done in those days. You carried on! Compare that with Covid phobia.
I was in French class. A class clown knocked on the door and the French teacher let him come in. He told her JFK had been shot. She thought he was making a joke. Then it came over the PA system. Everyone went into total disbelief and total silence..
I have had the same reaction and came to the same conclusions as you so aptly stated, MaineCoon.
I think RFK Jr. is sincere in those areas of concern of which he spoke here and in his earlier speech where he announced this alignment with PDJT.
I will not disavow Sundance’s concerns because our host has been extremely accurate sooner or later on almost everything about which he has published strong opinions, suspicions, and precautions.
Bobby is still calling himself a proud Democrat, albeit “old school.” Both he and Pres. Trump have stated that they have several areas (of policy) of significant disagreement. BUT if they can lay those differences aside and accomplish positive gains for Americans in the areas mentioned in this speech, then we all benefit.
Yes, if he stays in his lane, he could go well for everyone. If he’s gets out of his lane, there will be trouble and he will stupidity jeopardize the legacy he is striving for. Does he have the moral strength to do this? I hope he does, but if he gets entrenched in with the Dems, then he will have blown it. He has been given the gift of his dreams. If he blows it, he has himself to blame and sadly, PT would need to fire him. No more 2nd chances this time.
Bingo. RFK Jr.might create a very positive & lasting legacy if he “stays in his lane” as you again so aptly stated.
We know he will come under combined immense & mercilessly brutal pressure from the DemoRat Marxists / Deep State AND from the globalist corporate behemoth blob. Can he withstand that? Maybe by staying closer to Trump? Time will tell.
I think the attacks against RFK Jr. (for this announcement) have already begun and will get increasingly worse very quickly.
Yes, he’s been put through the wringer, to this point, and now it will get far worse. Does he have what it takes to withstand it like PT does? Frankly, probably not in the same way PT has backbone of steel, but hopefully his gut level passion and drive in the food/healthcare arena will keep him focused. We really need to pray for him. I doubt his marriage makes it.
Pray we must.
Agree that his marriage to leftwing wacko Cheryl Hines doesn’t survive if he sincerely tries to work with Trump as he and Trump appear to be planning.
His sister Kerry and family have already denounced him in a public post on X.com.
GB, you write, “Time will tell.”
Time has already told. RFKJ has been under attack from the Deep State since his childhood, and he has already proven he can withstand it. He is no fool, and knows that by what he just did, the attacks will intensify.
Why does he have a “former” CIA officer in his campaign staff??
I don’t think they can do more than they already did to him. Payback is a bitch.
He has come this far to make his stand. I don’t believe he will quit it.
Old School Democrats don’t exist except on TV and in history books. RFK2 knows how his cousin was vilified in New York by the DNC when she ran for the Senate. He sees how President Trump has been treated by the Democrats something his father and uncle JFK would not believe!
No, they are still out there Joe. They are physically old and disappearing steadily. The current DemoRat Party refuses to give them any platform and there are very few of them of any prominence still around and being recognized nationally mostly due to age and infirmity.
Lyndon Johnson corrupted the Rat Party far more completely away from what it once stood for (and yes it was never “pure”, given its racist platforms stemming from the Civil War era).
But many Americans who were virulently pro-Constitution and anti-Marxist were still solid Democrats, believing in all the “baseball, motherhood, & apple pie” values always featured so prominently in their politics before the latter 1960s.
I know this to be fact because I grew up in a solid Democrat family of church-going, honest, moral, hard working people who almost all stayed married to their first spouses and didn’t cheat or drink excessively or gamble. I’m not sure my father voted for Reagan in ’80 but he did in ’84. And he voted for Perot in ’92 because he thought Clinton was slime and Bush Sr was a corrupt crook. And then he voted for Dole in ’96 because he thought Dole was far more decent than Clinton and he didn’t think Perot was seriously trying to win. I believe my mother followed suit. My point is that my parents were old school Democrats and they realized the Dem Party was going down the toilet.
RFK has made a rare but seemingly smart tactical move to come rightward to “compromise” with Trump.
MC, great analysis. Thanks for the clear presentation.
Thank you fragemall for the encouraging comment!
I never cared for the Kennedys. I didn’t think much for RFK Jr. either, but I took a closer look at what he was saying about vaccines, and found out I was wrong about most of the so-called anti-vaxxers.
He’s sincere about that. The rest of his family seemed to hate him for it long before he had any association at all with Donald Trump.
No doubt about it – that entire Kennedy clan has been dysfunctional from the get go.
I agree
I agree wholdheartedly. His conference was very heartfelt. He was brought to tears tallking about the children and asking God for guidance on what to do.
I completely disagree with some of his positions, BUT especially his stand on the health of the children getting shot up with 65 jabs within a few years old, I agree completely. This is his wheelhouse. Let him do what he was meant to do and may God bless and keep him safe.
That was my conclusion. At 70 yo, if he screws this up and goes off course, he will not deserve a second chance. Time is of the essense.
When I read posts like yours, I am reminded that we’re not permitted to post the same comments twice. And that’s unfortunate because this one might be missed by a whole lot of readers. Am very glad I wasn’t one of them! Just a really fine post, MaineCoon. Read twice:)
Thank you for that encouraging comment Fionnagh!
Very well said.
“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”
And that, is the key to a good life 🙂 Thank You! And thank God!
I hope RFK Jr. can be trusted in supporting President Trump.
I remember when Jeff Sessions turned on President Trump. Sessions was “loyal” for a very short time. Big disappointment.
And NO ONE has ever interviewed Jeff after his departure, as far as I know.
That would be the very moment he should be fired. No second chances, particularly where he just received the greatest gift of his life – the chance to chance the entire food/health systems.
I really don’t think Sessions turned on Trump. I think his skill set was not at all suitable to run a major cabinet department. As a legislator, your mindset is to negotiate and compromise and as an executive, that is not always a skill you need to put in use.
I think Sessions was completely lost as AG, which is worse than just being incompetent. He was clueless and basically took the advice of the lifers as to what to do. That is how he came across to me.
Immigration was Session’s big issue and if not for him, we would have had amnesty. He held the line against the Republicans who wanted an amnesty deal He did not give in to immense pressure. I will always remember him for that, but as AG, he was a major disaster area.
Centaur, you summed up my thoughts exactly! Sometimes our gut has to be the guide and my gut says RFK Jr is for real. DJT seems to agree!
I trust SD’s initial instincts about “Bobby!” and therefore I will endeavor to remain highly suspicious of this latest development.
Hope for best, lah-dee-dah, but prepare for the worst cast scenario possible.
I’m sorry but I’ve been following Robert F Kennedy Junior for years and part of the children’s health defense network because I have a vax injured son on the autism spectrum…the values that he is talking about are the values that I want for my children…I love Trump but the things that Robert Kennedy has been trying to do for years to little fanfare are what’s important to me and my family. I don’t agree with everything he says especially about climate change gun control and reparations but by and large he’s the only person out there trying to make a safe environment for our children and get to the bottom of why they’re so sick why my son is so sick I just can’t believe he’s an intelligence agent or whatever
I agree. FWIW, in the first GOP debate in 2015, a question was asked re vaccines. The other 8 candidates (including two MD’s, Carson and Paul) all supported vaccines. Trump, on the other hand, stated that there is evidence that vaccines cause autism. Trump was sharply criticized for that, and the topic never came up again to my knowledge until covid. And re covid, he attempted to promote HCQ but the enemy responded by publishing a FALSE study in Lancet denouncing HCQ (later rescinded after it was too late). Trump was cornered… had he attempted to oppose a covid vax, he would have been impeached and convicted in the Senate. We are in a war, and war is brutal. As with the J6 victims, thousands have died or been seriously injured by the covid vax. But winning the war is more important.
Superbly stated. Many thanks.
Thank you. And you’re welcome.
Time will tell and we shall see, as the sayings go.
Was 10 when JFK was assassinated and remember when RFK was also assassinated. Never a fan of the Democrat party, but I do believe that it is possible JFK and his brother were both removed because they were working to remove the tentacles of the deep state that were beginning to have real power behind the scenes, and
in listening to RFKjr’s speech earlier in the day, and then when he was warmly welcomed to the Turning Point stage by President Trump – it was a real sense of joy, not for RFKjr, but that his uncle and father would approve of this move –
to see what could be done to unite the country to see if the combined forces of MAGA and the Democrats who have chosen to not pretend anymore, that this combined energy might complete what JFK and his brother had started.
That’s the hope, and I liked that image – but I don’t trust for one moment that RFKjr is anywhere near the caliber of his uncle or father. Those days of innocence are long gone and yes, Mr. former drug addict, misogynist, brain-worm bearer, has issues and would not be surprised for one moment if those tentacles that did in his uncle and father aren’t firmly implanted in his own circle, but
if there is any chance, that uniting the various people of all political persuasions can do the impossible, yes. This could be another one of those miracles similar to a man moving his head just so slightly at the perfect moment to save his life type of miracle. I’m open to seeing this as a possibility, but will rely on common sense and gut instinct as whatever unfolds, unfolds.
Plus, seeing the Democrats cry over this event today is priceless.
I would never vote for anyone except Trump. Never-Trumpers are never going to vote for Trump.
Less votes for Kamala and new votes for Trump is what will make a difference.
President Trump was not a lifelong Republican…switched parties several times. Even donated to Kamala Harris’ campaign in 2011 & 2013 per this article. So people can & do change their party affiliation when the party changes its core values.
https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/donald-trump-was-once-a-registered-democrat-and-party-donor-why-did-he-jump-ship/wj85mj5yq
Similar- remember Kwame Kilpatrick, the Detroit hip hop mayor who ran the city to the ground and ended up in prison? He showed up a couple days ago to an Oakland County Republican Party event to give his support to Trump. As my son commented, he’s an azz hole but we’ll take his vote!
Hi Sundance,
I don’t think this is a good decision by Trump. As you ve pointed RFK Jr can’t be trusted given all the known facts/data points about him.
Being a team player is what caused good people to put up with the GOPe through some of its worst decisions.. please continue to be a contrarian when it is actually in line with the facts, known and observed
I was hoping to get your views of Brian Kemp making nice with Trump… This is a 100 times dangerous than RFK Jr.
I think what you see is what you get with Kennedy. Kemp? Nah. Just a Machiavellian backstabber.
Kennedy Jr. wants to preserve his legacy. Kemp just wants to stay out of prison.
Master move by Trump. Recall that Trump had John Bolton on his team, which did not mean Trump agreed with him, but spoke volumes about his own confidence in his positions to listen to contrary points of view without affecting his decisions.
Not everyone is a bogeyman out to destroy Trump from within.
Never trust a Kennedy…..no matter how altruistic they appear.
Hawkeye1964: Roger that.
I think Kennedy joined forces with MAGA to continue his work against Big Pharma. And God bless President Trump (again!) for giving Kennedy the opportunity to do that. At some point the opposition will sic a new virus on humanity. I’d far rather have Kennedy working with PT than another Fauci.
And maybe he succeeded.
Have you taken notice of several new or very infrequent commenters on this post?
Possibility of flushing ‘them’ out?
Bringing the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
we will come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves,

Agreed. I didn’t watch a minute of the DNC convention, yet I read most comments on CTF threads. There are lots of unrecognized posters as far as I can tell. Many seem to oppose our fearless leader who is as Rush used to say, is 99.5% correct!
You can tell me, these pictures were taken at the DNC Convention.
To his credit Jr. did write the book The Real Anthony Fauci. If he can clean up the vaxx mess and not betray Trump in the process I will love the man, he touches one hair on Trumps’ head he will be sorry.
In a fight you need a fighter. And since we are in a fight to the death, this quality becomes critical, above all.
I pray that RFK will look to Our Savior and be washed clean. I hope Our Father will reform him to a righteous purpose, and that he turns from evil and leaves his former life behind.
He mentioned God and prayers more than once in his speech today. He stated he is 70 yrs old and time is running out to do good for Americas children. I respect that.
Kennedy is not a populist. He is a Kennedy marinated in Camelot spin since birth.
Compare the withdrawal of Biden to the withdrawal of RFK Jr. We were told Biden’s was “patriotic” like “George Washington” when we all knew he was forced out with the threat of the 25 th amendment after they could no longer hide his medical issues. In contrast, RFK Jr. made his about principles- pointing out the lawfare, censorship, lying, and political manipulation which forced him out of an unrecognizable Democrat party….
it was a powerful moment, and had the mark of greatness.
I also think we should distinguish between “co-belligerents” and “allies”. I would characterize RFK Jr as the former. We can fight together against a common enemy, while our motivations and ideals still remain very different.
I’m OK with RFK jr, as a commissioner. No cabinet position, no way.
FDA Commissioner could work. I’ll have to think a little longer about “what could possibly go wrong?”
Kennedy would be wasted in a cabinet position; gobbled-up whole by the institutional morass and maliciousness.
In Trump’s embrace of RFKj he slightly lifted the veil of how to expose and inform the much needed structural and cultural transformation of the federal government: special commissions of liberated talent working under the umbrella of presidential authority with full-transparency in public view on behalf of the mutual interest.
“MAGA” is a declaration of will in defense of a more perfect union; of common action in defense of the mutual interest and against the dominant syndicate and other established cartelized private interests and the malignancy they represent.
Will Tulsi Gabbard be next up? She’s a voice devastating to DNC and Machine Democrat interests. We live in a nation full of remarkable human talent and character.
We need them all to help Make America Great Again. Make America Healthy Again is Job One.
The monopolies, syndicates and cartels infiltrating and influencing our institutions comprise the most dangerous 5th Column we face. These fifth column influences have leadership.
Where treason be found, teach them to swing.
“We live in a nation full of remarkable human talent and character.”
So true, even easier to notice by naturalized citizen.
Do the Kennedy’s feel cheated since they endorsed Joe Biden and he got couped and now its the drunk Indian that’s the candidate? Why doesn’t she use her handler, I mean husband’s surname?
You had his title right to begin with.
😎
Him too!
😆 🤣 😂 😆 🤣 😂
What a strange looking group of psychopaths.
An Irish disgrace.
“He said unto Simon, ‘Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.’ . . . Master we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake . . . And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all and followed him.” — Luke 5:4-6,11.
I use the above as a parable. PDJT is seeking to reach across the divides. and find all who wish to unite this country back into a common community. I do not have to agree on all thoughts, but any who agree that this sovereign nation is deeply and corruptly threatened can get on the effort to redress.
There are so overwhelmingly so many things gone wrong, indeed evil, that there is room for many viewpoints to make a substantial important contribution. MAGA
There’s quite a lot I disagree with RFK Jr. on but I do agree with him on his assessment of the democrat party and his views on big ag and the chemicals in food and the obesity epidemic and his criticisms of the FDA, CDC, Fauci, the mRNA vaccines, etc. I don’t see him hurting Trump in an FDA/HHS position. Also respect him for calling out the lawfare. Have to see how it goes…but first we have to win the election.
>>> CTH has expressed our concerns previously. I always hope to be wrong about intelligence community connected politicians. That said, I shall be a good team player and hope/pray to be wrong about RFK JR.
Nice, Sundance. Classy.
Trust, but verify.
Godspeed, President Trump.
RFK should be given prosecutorial power as a Special Counsel, not merely investigative and reporting powers. And his Commission should actually be a Grand Jury. Would Congress dare to deny such an appointment ?
And as was done with AG Barr previously, he should be given (personal) power to supoena and declassify any documents that are within his purview, across the entirety of the government.
Seriously just consider how much RFK Junior hates the globalists. They killed his uncle and his father all he does is file lawsuits against the government to try to stop censorship, vaccine mandates, stopping EMF radiation, getting justice for people who lost their jobs and loved ones during Covid because of vaccine injury that’s literally all he did with his time before he decided to run for president… i’ve been part of the Children’s Health Defense Network for many years now no one else is really doing work like this not at his level. I definitely don’t agree with him about climate change and gun control but somebody’s got to do something about why our kids are so sick and nobody else is even talking about it I get it if you don’t have sick kids this doesn’t really matter to you but it matters to me because my son is vaccine injured rfk joining trumps team is a godsend…. Because I’ve been following him so long And I know his history with this issueI don’t trust anyone else to get to the bottom of this out of any politician that I know currently except maybe Senator Ron Johnson… but even he is new to the game Kennedy has been fighting for this cause for so many years… I’m excited he’s teaming up with Trump
If nothing else, RFK Jr helped reveal how corrupt and tyrannical the present democrat party is. A rigged primary, a coerced drop out of a President no less and the installation of a hack without a single vote being cast tells you all you need to know about this Democrat party.
Democrats are right. Democracy is on the ballot.
Want tyranny? Vote Harris/Stolen Valor.
Want a constitutional republic? Vote DJT and JD.
In this election, policy just doesn’t matter that much because we are voting on what kind of government we will have. The stakes are that high.
FINGERS POINT AT KAMALA Post convention high already gone. Rank and file Dems want to know why she didn’t talk to RFK Jr. ‘That’s a rookie mistake. She doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing.’ [Developing]

Dems In Mass Panic Mode Want To Know ‘Who Blew It?’ Who Let RFK Jr. get away. ‘This was an epic blunder.’

WHO LOST KENNEDY!?’ Dems form circular firing squads after RFK JR. said he approached Kamala FIRST but was rebuffed.
EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER According to inside sources Kamala Harris is experiencing a severe case of the blues following her convention high. ‘She’s really feeling down right now. We need to give her some space,’ said a party insider. [Developing]

DAY AFTER Well placed sources say Kamala is experiencing ‘rebound emotions’ following her speech. ‘It was a high she couldn’t be expected to sustain. We’re all experiencing a little bit of that.’
Did she have a massive HANGOVER?
She needs to visit a “safe room.”
“We need to give her some space…”
My eyesight is really poor. At first read I thought you said, “We need to give her more juice…”
That was an awesome rally and adding RFKjr into the mix was brilliant. This is going to put a huge damper on the cheat plans and the Dem agenda. I’m still sitting here amazed at what this day has brought to the political world.
These two men obviously have major differences yet they also both love this country and are willing to work on the huge issues they both agree on. Mainly they are both America First patriots. I feel very good about this happening today. I hope I am not disappointed in what comes of this union of ideas and action by two Americans, working together who want to get us back on the path to greatness again.
Welcome Bobby, you’ll always have a home here.
Set him aside for a while. He may become useful.
This is gonna really shake up some Dem Voters I know in AZ.
The ones in AZ will probably be some of the 1st to hear about it.
I’m gonna give ’em a bit of time to digest the news before I check in with ’em.
haha.
Sounds like President Trump did his homework regarding Bobby Kennedy. Tune will tell. I loved John Kennedy and his brother but that was about it. Kennedy looked almost awe struck over the warm welcome. Four years working with President Trump will give him a boost if he should decide to run again. That is if he is actually as genuine as he claims about helping to get America back to greatness.
Make America Healthy Again. I’m loving it. There is ground we all share.
First thing to do is shut down any cricket factories. Then get laws passed on food packaging contents. Ban foreigners from buying up American farmland. Ban “Apeeled” or whatever Gates’ invention is called.
And get Ivermectin available over the darned counter!! I live too far from Tennessee.
Thank you, Sundance, for your humility.
What happened tonight was 100% genuine. There is no way that could have been faked. It was a massive outpouring of LOVE that brought tears to my eyes. Sundance and fellow Treepers, with all due respect, there is NO WAY that RFK JR is an agent for the IC/Deep State.
This man has been through utter HELL in his life, beginning in his childhood with the assassination of his uncle, and then in his teens, HIS DAD. And he has recently been through HELL with the Democrat party rigging their system against him, and then denying him USSS protection.
Please think about the psychology of what just happened to him tonight. He walked out onto that stage and experienced precisely the OPPOSITE… 20,000 REPUBLICANS chanting, “Bobby, Bobby, Bobby”!!!! It was obvious to me that his experience was DEEP, extremely POSITIVE, and LIFE TRANSFORMING. He could not have anticipated it.
I am confident that Trump will use him in the best way possible. Perhaps Sundance is right about FDA Commissioner, but I would prefer one step up, which is the Secretary of Health and Human Services. SOHHS is a cabinet level position that oversees Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). All of that is right up RFKJ’s alley and passion, and, IMO, these policy areas are Trump’s greatest weaknesses. Moreover, having RFKJ in the cabinet will bring balance and help to gain bilateral support in Congress when Trump needs it. And if RFKJ doesn’t work out, Trump can fire him.
Thank You for this….pretty much my gut as well… Annndddd they HAVE known each other for a LONG time….as both have inhabited rarified air in NYC /Hamptons/Conn./Mass “society”….
….Oh….and Palm Beach too……🤫🙄🤷🏼
Only the SENATE has the authority to HIRE, or refuse to hire, the people who work in a President’s administration, including cabinet/department heads.
Each person must first undergo a background check that was handled by the FBI but may have been turned over to Military Intelligence by President Trump at some point (for obvious reasons).
Then each person has to be pre screened/interviewed by a designated SENATE Committee made up of Democrats and Republicans (the proportion determined by the total number of D & R Senators). The Committee members eventually vote to either reject the person or to allow the whole SENATE to hold public interviews and a public vote to determine whether the person will be hired.
Senate Committees refused to even give an initial interview to some people President Trump wanted.
Fwiw President Trump can hire people without SENATE permission if they’re part of his personal staff rather than part of his administration.
Consequently, in 2024, helping PDJT succeed == voting a straight red ticket rather than vote splitting, at least for DC positions.
Isn’t it possible for PT to designate someone for the first 300 days, or whatever, without approval? I thought that’s what he did with Ric Grenell.
First, see my reply above to Cozette re the Appointments Clause.
Second, there is no 300-day rule.
Third, the next paragraph after the Appointment Clause provides:
“The President shall have Power to fill up all Vacancies that may happen during the Recess of the Senate, by granting Commissions which shall expire at the End of their next Session.”
However, the bad guys in the Senate kept the Senate in session continuously during Trump’s administration. When the Senate goes on “vacation” they leave one Senator behind who sits there in the Chair position, along with the staff, but no business being conducted. This evil practice denied Trump any recess appointments. And every Senator was responsible for this, because it is done by “unanimous consent” to which ANY Senator (Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz) could have objected.
Fourth, Ric Grenell was appointed to three successive positions by Trump. The first two required Senate Approval, which he received. The third did not.
Grenell had already been approved for Ambassador to Germany and so Trump could make him acting DNI without going through a vetting process.
Thank you, Cozette, for expressing your partially correct understanding of the Appointments Clause in Article II Section 2 Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution. It provides:
“[the President] shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.”
You are correct about cabinet officials. But the vast majority of the bureaucrats in the Executive Branch are NOT “officers” and hence can be hired by the President without involving the Senate. And of the “officers,” the vast majority are “inferior officers” the appointment of whom Congress has provided by law for their appointment without Senate involvement.
Do you really think the Senate, including the pertinent committee, is going to REJECT RFKJ for whatever position Trump appoints him? I think there will be massive bipartisan support, and that any Republican or Democrat Senator who votes against him will face massive backlash from their constituents.
I notice RFK talked about Ozempic.
If you knew that Ozempic was a synthetic form of a hormone called exendin-4 that occurs naturally in the saliva of the Gila monster, a large venomous lizard native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, you wouldnt take it. To me the pictures of the women who have taken Ozempic have reptilian faces
What could go right?
I am wondering if the magnificent applause Kennedy had at the rally might make him think he can poach MAGA away from PDJT.
I was so happy to see him endorse PDJT earlier today, but he might just revise his position after such a reception.
I have learned lessons from the past to beware of first impressions. We have seen how Democrats work and he is still a Democrat.
Prayers up.
Poach MAGA away? He’s no longer on the ballot of about half the states, between the ones he removed himself from and the ones the dems fought to get him off.
He never had a chance and now the tiny chance he had is gone.
You don’t have to be a big RFK fan to understand that what happened today is a good thing.
Had the same thought, along with wondering exactly how will that huge, loving, warm embracing welcome affect Kennedy’s mind and actions? Caught that glimpse of ‘wow, for me???, maybe I’m more important that I thought” type of look in his eyes, only for a moment, but saw it nonetheless.
Then again, holding judgment, the 72-hour thing, this will be an interesting weekend for the reactions by the news meisters and operatives to come up with their counter-attack.
Think we will learn much about the caliber of Mr. Kennedy in how he reacts to the hailstorm that is about to come his way.
You managed to see all that in a mere moment? Exceptional visual acuity on your part.
I’ve seen how Republicans work too yet I still vote for people e end though they’re still a Republican.
Perhaps listen/re listen to RFJ Jrs speech today, especially his assessment of the current Democrat party and why he is endorsing, plus teaming up with, PDJT so the Democrats are defeated this year.
#PrayersUp #OurLoveUnitesUS #MAGA
How does someone “poach” an entire political movement? Serious question.
Im 100% with you SUNDANCE My family and I will pray that whatever role he plays he will follow our Lords will. GOD BLESS you SD.
