Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Not to make excuses for him but his dad and his uncle were both assassinated. If that doesn't make you mental, I don't know what does. He clearly has no place in government or any position of authority. He should be committed.
As the other comment said, his dad was also assassinated shortly before he was likely to win the California presidential primary.
His father would be rolling in his grave... The Kennedys are fucked, but RFK Sr. seemed like he could have been a transformational president.
There's a documentary series about him called "RFK For President" that I found super interesting. Bobby seemed like the most thoughtful and empathetic of the Kennedys and it's a shame we lost him so soon.
Meanwhile, in other breaking news:
- Recent archeological studies suggest that Abraham Lincoln is, in fact, dead;
- Physicists have determined that the sky is sometimes blue;
- Neuroscientists are making the bold claim that most humans are more intelligent than rats. They have found that the reverse correlation exists for all those who report surprise at reading our top headline on RFK Jr's testimony!
Shouldn't someone whose job it is to know about health be fired for this shit?
Short answer, yes. Long answer, also yes
The entire world would be a MUCH better place if politicians were actually punished for knowingly lying under oath.
Especially if they were considered under oath at all times when discussing policy.
In stead, there's like a dozen or two politicians in all of Washington that don't deliberately mislead the public for power and profit on a daily basis.
It would also be a better place if members of the president's cabinet were required to have expertise in the area they work in
"Knowingly" is a really hard one to prove.
Especially when part of the brain has been eaten
They should get the punishment that oath breakers tended to get in so called savage societies. Cut out their tongue or if severe enough public execution.
Such a fucking idiot. I do not know how hes tricked people into thinking hes smart.
Idk who he has tricked other than Donald because I haven't seen or heard anyone saying good things about him.
Donald put him there to aid in the destruction of the US.
Some very stupid libertarian, people I know think he's great. Plus he tricks people by saying a couple, things that are super obvious, like corn fructose syrup is bad. We have all known this forever.
It reminds me of the family guy, nine eleven was bad bit.
Trump doesn't care if he's smart or not. Trump traded dropping out of the race and endorsing himself in exchange for HHS. Purely a political transaction.
last name. nepo babies should have to pass extra exams
