Not only is she a moron, she’s a threat to our health and healthcare systems. I just read about some BS harassment going on against Sarasota Hospital by the “Moms for America”, who also like to ban books by the way. Apparently it has to do with them not treating Covid with Ivermectin. Never mind they had a better Covid survival rate than other hospitals in the area. But the “Moms” and other conspiracy theory nuts are still harassing hospital staff and making their lives miserable. Several conspiracy nuts are now on the hospital board. Possibly Mike Q Flynn helped with that just like he did the school boards there. 🤬

This is the first I've ever heard of Naomi Wolf. She sounds as nutty as RFK Jr. and I'm betting she did not lose a parent to assassination.

RFK Jr is a total whack job, now touring with the "Save America Tour" alongside Mike Flynn and Donald Trump Jr. Pathetic! He's been de-platformed everywhere for his bullshit.

it's really, really sad what happened to him.

It is incredibly sad, the more so that he's touring with Trump Jr.

actually, for me that goes well beyond "sad." Don Jr. (who "made his bones" by pissing in other people's beds) is quite beyond the pale...a human only in the most basic biological sense.

I don't think I'd let my mind go that far as to how sad it is until I read your comment, but I hear what you're saying and I completely agree. It's really awful to think of RFK Jr. with those people, that he's just lost all perspective, and to think of how awful it must be for his siblings, who have gone through more than anyone should have to go through--the assassination, the deaths of, I think it's two of their siblings, and now this. AS sad as this is, somehow I think it's important for me to know, so thank you.

It is sad. He’s a mess and hanging out with a bad crowd. I don’t want to minimize the horrible trauma of his dad and uncle’s assassinations in any way. I can only imagine how it affected family as it was incredibly traumatizing to our country. And some, maybe not everyone have childhood trauma that we go through and either go through life blaming everything on a traumatized childhood, get help or counseling and let go and heal, or just go looking for something and trying to grab the brass ring. RFKJr might be in the 3rd group. I’m not an expert by any means but I’m in the 2nd group.

I'm not an expert on this stuff but I don't think the description of the third group quite fits, although maybe I'm not fully understanding it. RFKJr is damaged, and I get the impression his mother was lacking in a big way (and of course she also had her own loss to deal with, but I get the sense that she did not do a great job with her kids, and somehow, most of the others pulled themselves together, but RFKJr couldn't or didn't. Maybe its' especially hard to bear the name. But it is damn sad to see him in the company of such POSes.

It's also damn sad for the country that RFK was killed because I can't help thinking we'd be living in a much better country and world had he served out two terms.

I made this mistake in 2008 of telling people we had finally won the election of1968 - which I meant the spirit of RFK had won. The last time I saw him live was the speech in Union Square in San Francisco in May 1968 when he said "some people look at things as they are and say why - I look at things that never were and say why not?" It really would be a different world if he had lived. He'd have won in a landslide.

Your second to last sentence--my sentiments exactly. And I agree with what I think you're saying--that Obama was no RFK. Like I may have said here, and definitely said on Today's Edition, I've been disappointed by every Democratic pres until Biden. While I have one major area of disagreement with him, the good he's doing far outweighs it.

I remember that as soon as I heard about the assassination, my immediate (and accurate) thought was "we are SO fucked."

And sadly, the most likely reason he was assassinated

Yes, I think our country would would have been in a better place, and sadly we were not given that option. Changing the subject how is Natalie?

She's doing fine. And she seems to have gotten even more outgoing with strangers--major compared to when she first came to live with me. She spent the first three days after Polly left her, in the coat closet. She was wary of me, and wary of other people. Now she just loves going up to strangers to get the love, and she seems even more that way than she was last fall. Such a lovable dog!

well then David, you need to check the Wikipedia article, because she's much crazier than you can possibly imagine.

I followed her career from its shady beginnings, but she fell off my radar about twenty years back.

I'll check wikipedia
