Hard not to think about how misogyny factors into how reality contorted twice to elect the worst man alive rather than an almost boringly competent woman.
But how leading journalists connived to protect and/or elevate Bobby Jr. feels like a Biblical plague that America probably deserves.

We know nothing about his medical situation and everything about his mendacity.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Folks, this is dystopian stuff.
And what's perhaps the scariest part is that no one knows this legislation is moving in Congress.
The weapons industry claims this will lessen fatal police violence. But police already have access to less-than-lethal weapons.
It's a ruse — and a deadly one at that.

Right now, the billion-dollar weapons industry is working to hoodwink Congress into passing legislation they claim will reduce police violence.
But that's a lie. What it really does is increase their profits — while unleashing new deadly weapons, including ghost guns.
