The wokes are already losing their fucking minds.
You know what's fun? You can't censor a presidential candidate! So Instagram had to reinstate his account!

He's a crank.
He's a crazy conspiracy-theorist crank.
He's a crazy conspiracy-theorist crank, who is eminently unlikeable.
But he's fun, isn't he?

There is some irony in the fact that the two highest profile Kennedys to make it to old age are this guy and Teddy.

Exactly right, and just think of the possibilities. Can you imagine an RFK/Trump debate?
I'm gonna start implying that he's who I'm voting for to steer a shitty conversation over to something far more interesting. I'd have to find a way to support anti-vaxxer nuttery and conspiracies involving ancient astronauts, just for a start. It'd be dodging lazer beams.

Hey, I'm all for him. Besides the nuttery, there are some pearls in there worthy of a national debate.

I mean I dunno, he’s against affirmative action, against forcing businesses to sell products that conflict with their religious beliefs, against “gender identity” anti-discrimination laws, against children receiving gender-transitioning treatments and surgeries, against a tiered evaluation system for women in the military, against special treatment for minority-owned businesses…
I hope he talks that stuff up rather than the nuttery but I'm not holding my breath.
His campaign messaging platform strategy is interesting, too. He'll be in places people who vote will listen, but not the "media" as we define it.
C'mon you crazy bastard don't fuck this up!

Not entirely impossible, either.

He was on Peterson's podcast last week. His voice is nails on a chalkboard but he's more or less sensible. Too bad about the handful of wacky ideas.

He’s actually polling at 17%… What does he need to accomplish to force a debate?

It used to be Carnivore. What's the current program called?

Probably nothing he could do. To my knowledge no sitting president has participated in primary debates.
Even Carter didn’t when Teddy challenged him.

That kind of reminds me of the old joke with the punchline "It was just one sheep!"

In Australia, it goes more along the lines of, "It was just one Maccas!"

That's presumably because in Australia it's never just one sheep.

I listened to him on Rogan and Barry Weiss’ podcasts. I knew next to nothing about him before this - except that he’s supposed to be a loony toon.
He is not an Alex Jones like figure - which I completely expected going in. He’s a reasoned person with very thought through positions.
I don’t know nearly enough on immunology and biology to check his claims on vaccines. But he makes very specific claims based on specific studies. If his claims are garbage they should not be difficult to debunk.
