RFK Jr is a man who failed to live up to his family name at every turn. Rather than making him open and curious, he became sclerotic and arrogant, wielding others’ deference to him as a cudgel. How sad.

It’s interesting that the major figures in the Admin are all “losers” with gargantuan chips on their shoulders. They claim to be “Alpha,” but no frat boy in the lot, no sportsmen. They cheated their way into schools and/ or were generally unliked. Neither dorks nor jocks, just mean cheats.

It’s textbook ethnic cleansing and shame on the Post for failing to state that in this reporting.
Crabapple Jones (@crabapplejones.bsky.social) reply parent
“Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of… groups from a given area, with the intent of making the society ethnically homogeneous. Along with direct removal such as deportation or population transfer, it also includes indirect methods aimed at forced migration.”
Crabapple Jones (@crabapplejones.bsky.social) reply parent
But no mention of Sudan suffering from staggering famine - just “deprivations”. No mention that America is ethnically cleansing a people, treating it as a means to make money for bitcoin and real estate developers. No mention of the civil war in Somaliland. I’m shocked by this piece. It’s sickening

JB notices you’re out, take notes and makes sure you get a copy. Vance tells you the deck is due on Thursday, when your boss said Tuesday.

JB would help take your friend home in the middle of a party cos she wasn’t feeling well and check in on you the next day. Vance would stand outside her room, listening to her breath.
