Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

They learn a mile wide an inch deep. Spend 5 hours with an engineer learning about engineering and I still am not driving across a bridge you design.

Sit down for 10 hours to learn why a heart surgery failed and I am still not hiring you to perform heart surgery on me.

Lastly, far and away the largest number of elected officials are lawyers, are you going to argue their vastly superior ability over the rest of us has made a better country.

Lawyers are not better or worse than the rest of us. I am sorry that suddenly you have adapted CO's " I am better than everyone because I am a lawyer mantra".

CAN RUSSIA HAVE A WAR MACHINE?

You have terrible reading comprehension. What’s more you’re saying things I never said. Yet again.

And you’re wrong again. You have to have knowledge a mile deep and inch wide to excel in those complex areas. That’s not what the vast majority of lawyers are doing. They’re drafting wills, fixing tickets, and filing eeoc claims. Most lawyers are average joes. Nothing special. However Jr was one of those lawyers doing complex shit. Those lawyers are incredibly bright. That is complex stuff in a world of extremely bright people. Top of their class from the best universities defend those corps. You and aloha know zero about that world. That’s not your neighborhood Bloomington lawyer

As for the Russia war machine let’s see if other countries step up more. We’ll defend ourselves etc but again maybe we don’t need to be the world’s cop

People can be quite accomplished in specific areas with very high IQs. Look up Bobby Fischer. Doesn't mean he was not crazy. To my knowledge, Fischer never loaded a bear onto his car to dump it's body in Central Park. Fischer never claimed vaccines cause autism, never said the 2004 election was stolen by Bush, that genetic engineering to target races was involved in COVID.

The rest of the world IS pumping money into Ukraine. A lot of money. There is a myth that it is only us.

i follow him on instagram. i have no idea what transpired with that bear but he is all in on animals and that stuff. much of his stories are devoted to wildlife he encounters. and he might be crazy. but we aren't all or nothing. he may still have useful ideas and a critical approach that we haven't been seeing, certainly as it relates to food processing, ag, etc. he's built like a brick shithouse. we are a fat nation and much of our problems stem from same. it certainly exacerbated covid.

and again he applied his trade in a very complex area. you seem to just think of lawyers as lawyers bc you and aloha just don't know any better. it takes nothing more than discipline to show up at your local shitty bar driven law school graduate and go work for hte prosecutor's office then hang a shingle defending drunks and thieves. doing complex torts is exceptionally difficult, and complicated work that is typically defended by incredibly bright people who have excelled in school and are being paid a fortune to NOT turn over hundreds of millions of dollars.

a bit of license but read a civil action if you're interested. it's not far off. in-house defense just presumed that schlictmann was a harvard man

It’s about half of the support to Ukraine and it’s increasing.

 

[Willdog7]

"For two years, I've been saying that Ukraine has zero chance of winning the US proxy war against Russia. The MSM has dutifully propagandized the American public into believing Zelensky was winning and anamethnatizing those of us who challenged the narrative.
Now the MSM is admitting the war is lost. If they had been truthful from the outset, the reality would have steered Ukraine toward the peaceful generous settlement that Russia repeatedly vouchsafed, and 600,000 Ukrainian kids might have grown white hair".

The war was lost , when trump became Potus.

 

[Mas-sa-suta]

His entire premise is a lie. It is built in either 1) Ukraine was about to attack Russia. That is about as likely as Mexico attacking the US, with the same likelihood of success.

Or 2) NATO was going to attack through Ukraine. For that, he can go to his Russian sources and document every single case of NATO bombs falling on nuclear powered nations. I am sure he has a great list he can share.

The US will not attack a nuclear powered nation, it is why Iran desperately wants the bomb (and a country we still haven't attacked, not even after the hostage crisis). It is why we do nothing about North Korea. It is why we turned a blind eye to Pakistani support of OBL.

So for some reason, he fully supports a Russian war machine. If you are as smart as you were telling Aloha you are, you would see that other countries can have war machines too.

The US used the same justification in Bay of Pigs, Cuba was a prelude to a Russian attack. We were wrong to do that, and we pulled our support. Unfortunately we should have stopped the Cubans landing and did not.

Cuba and Ukraine are very similar analogies. Cuba presented as much risk to the US as Ukraine to Russia.

Ukraine in no way changes the fact that Russia dwarfs our nuclear total. We won't risk that. Hell, we didn't risk it when we had the advantage. We did not bomb China in the Korean War when they had zero nukes, and you know Mac was begging for them.

Ukraine poses no risk to Russia. Except one. Tied to the West, her economy might greatly improve . Her people may become happier than the Russian people. It might force Russia to open up. That scares people who prefer totalitarianism.

Fractured Fairy Tales.....!

Ukraine has paid a terrible price for believing the feckless West would show any more spine than it has for the last half century.

The last thing propagandized people will face is how badly they have been bamboozled.

Germany, the former industrial engine for the EU is decimated. The 'traffic light' coalition has dissolved, and the next election cycle will likely see the despised AfD gain even more representation. The EU can no longer bully it's members into submission. France and Macron are neutered, as is the tissue tiger UK.

I almost pity the stupid fvcks who have spent nearly 3 years swallowing the rancid projectile lies of the jingoist neocons whose legacies are buried in a million fresh graves in Ukraine.

Almost.

I pity the innocents more.

 

[Indyhorn]

He might be off on some things but Jr and musk will bring ideas to gov we won’t see with the lifetime politicians from both sides. We just kick the same can and our debt continues to explode and what did we learn?

All the free cheese was a lesson no one learned. It wasn’t properly vetted, means tested, etc, but lost in what was tantamount to guaranteed income for a spell was the lowest level of poverty we’ve had in decades. Maybe there was a lesson there. Maybe means testing direct payouts with date certain limitations is more effective than the entrenched welfare programmatic state. I don’t hear anyone talking about it. Bc they want their gov jobs. Politicians are lifers onto the next thing etc. So we do shit like we always have.

Let’s look at new approaches. Domestically and abroad. A negotiated settlement and ending the deaths and financial blackhole doesn’t make one pro Russia. Bc jr has a questionable take on one issue out of a thousand we’re going to declare him ineligible? Guy is fit af at 70. Stick with the trannie who is a hundred pounds overweight on our health decisions ? Please

Agreed- give us some fresh eyes. Analytical eyes are watching exactly what gets done in Trump round 2.

You are in the makings of a wonderful MAGAcan. I like it !

 

[hoosboot]

He despises the war machine. The evil Cheneys of the world. Maybe he’s a nut. Maybe he’s not. Lots of dead. Doesn’t seem too smart

I can verify that he is a nut - not because of these views, but because he is a nut.

Sure. Many deluded narcissists with zero common sense are nuts, too. They are abundant on the Westside and he's among the biggest.

I don't get your trust in his take on the Russia-Ukraine war because he is a Kennedy. Would you trust William Kennedy Smith's or Bobby Shriver's takes just because they are Kennedys?

I suspect Jr's take on the conflict has as much to do with his son, Connor, as it does with any actual insight he has into the conflict.

Not trust. I’m not convinced our history is the best way going forward. I’m not sure being a bit more protectionist won’t be more prudent. I don’t think there are clear answers. I also don’t think most people have any appetite for self dealing Cheney types. That politician profile is dead.

I can totally buy all that. It doesn't have anything to do with putting faith in RFK Jr. on foreign policy though.

Who is feckless in your world, you are the one working day and night to get Ukraine's support cut off.

 

[Mas-sa-suta]

And weekends too.

What part of 35 $Trillion in debt excites you?

What part of a million dead Ukrainians excite you.

You and gilligan should stand downwind of a mausoleum and jerk each other off.

You said feckless, banding Ukraine is feckless. You actively want to make the sacrifice their people has made to be for naught.

But you never answered the question. Putin's excuse for the invasion is a sham. Ukraine could not invade Russia, NATO has never invaded a nuclear member and the risk is far too high. Therefore Putin is just making a naked power grab. Somehow you ignore that and pretend that isn't it.

So go ahead, name all the nuclear armed nations attacked by NATO.

[hoot1]

RFKjr believes nutty things. He's the guy that most pushed the ridiculous conspiracy theory that GWB won 2004 due to voter fraud in 2004 (now he's embraced by MAGA Republicans). He's anti-vaxx and has no chance to be confirmed for a health-related Cabinet job because there aren't enough MAGA Republicans in the Senate to confirm him. He's been spreading Russian misinformation for years.

Aloha, on the spreading of Russian misinformation were you referring to RFK Jr. or Mass , or both?

 

[jet812]

RFK is a total loon. We are entering an anti science age and the rest of the world is going to laugh at how damned stupid we’re allowing ourselves to be

He’s really ruffling the feathers of Big Parma shills, which is great. If they ask questions & make data-driven decisions, why would that be a problem?

Because Americans pay no attention to data driven analysis, if Jenny McCarthy says autism is caused by vaccines, that is good enough.

 

[jet812]

You don’t get it either. It’s not law school. It’s thirty years working in a field to understand that field. You sue a Dr for prom and they claim the patient is pissing and send her home when it’s amniotic fluid leaking and she has sepsis you better understand the meds every bit as well as the Dr. Yours and theirs.

You sue Monsanto and claim a causal connection between a pesticide and cancer you better learn the chemicals, how they operate, the meds, and the link.

These aren’t gov salaried workers on the general schedule. They are people taking hundreds of millions of dollars away from corporations defended by some of the brightest minds we have. Yale law. Harvard law. Guys being paid $1,500 an hour for their work.

You have no idea

They are completely & totally unable to be objective about anything that is less than 3 degrees of separation from Trump. Total TDS…

The same number as Russia?

Who is? Vaccine rates have dropped since Ms McCarthy. Someone else is telling us not to vaccinate. I don't know, maybe the Russians are, but I have not seen proof so I wouldn't go there

The government’s role is to determine whether they are safe, & I for one am glad it’s being challenged. The fact that pharma has been the biggest contributor to PAC’s is troubling to me.
