Dumpy is clearly very ill, but we are not supposed to know about it. I hate the way the media will not press the white house for more transparency and information. I have a feeling there will be some weird announcement tomorrow when many protests are planned, to make us focus on something else.

Ice goons hurt so many people, but we often do not see the subsequent fallout from their heinous behavior, such as the trauma to people's families, even in this case, their pet dogs. I try to stay positive about all this stuff, but it is hard. youtube.com/shorts/oY92g...

Rfk has no medical training, no public health training, not even a science background. He is deeply eugenicist in his thinking. He is also a moron. He cannot run any agency, much less anything related to health. Finally, he is a weirdo creep. He needs to be fired. Immediately.

Why does CNN have these stupid roundtable shows. I absolutely hate them and literally do not watch CNN anymore. Just unbearable how they feel they must have "opposing" voices on when they are actually platforming heinous lies and liars.

What a devout Catholic he is. Or really just another screwed up white male with twisted thinking. Hates women, people of color, wishes someone would have sex with him. Doesn't understand why he is miserable.

Since day 1 when dumpy rode down the elevator he has been the mouthpiece for all racists in our country. His racism and sexism/misogyny have been the motivational foundation for his cult followers. They finally found their leader.

It's too bad there was no push back on the word salad answer from nome, but I did note her answer showed she was a bit rattled by it. Incomprehensible blather.

He and his staff, who clearly help him do this, are lunatics. Why do we put up with this coming from our prez? Next step is the extended care facility. Really.

I hope and pray EU and US really stand up to pukin. Strength is all he understands. Not only will it help Ukraine, but the Russians will likely then give pukin the gaddafi treatment. How they put up with him killing so many soliers for his stupid war is incomprehensible.

A big problem is that we all live in different informational worlds, and that influences people's vote. That's not excusing people, but it helps me understand why a woman would vote for such sickening, woman hating degenerate.

Just one other note--why does rfk always look like a leather saddlebag? I feel guilty for saying that, but at the same time I am curious. Is a he a tanning bed fan(atic)?
Donna Castañeda (@dcastanedamccarty.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you for pointing that out. For example, research shows that hunters are not shooting people (not that I agree with shooting animals), but open access to assault weapons inevitably leads to some misusing them in tragic ways. They don't make us safe.

Everyday I see some of the stupidest things and this is one of them. Very much a misuse of these people who probably are hating having to do this work. It would be comedy if it were not real life and example from our dysfunctional and dangerous government.

Rfk is a blithering, blathering idiot. He does't understand whatsoever what he is talking about, doesn't understand mental health or illness, treatment, nor does he have an inkling of issues for trans people. More blaming of persons with mental illness. No clue how to address gun violence.

Newsome is so good at the trolling of dumpy. A master class, I must say. It's irony and satire at its best. My hope is that it gets through to at least some of zeros that support dumpy, and they can begin the process of questioning what he blathers about.

Incorrect, Mr. Flynn. Dumpy's pretend images with bulgy muscles, or him in the pope's robes right after the pope's death, were not about authenticity. They were narcissistic attention grabbers and really repellent. Barfoid, actually. Dumpy believed those images were the real him.
