I didn’t think it mattered that much but it will be interesting, I read an interesting article about the Kennedy name and its mythology.

People vote for that kind of rubbish.

Apparently RFKs wife is none too pleased either.

I have a suspicion this is going to hurt Trump, not help. RFKs supporters feel betrayed, and it smacks of desperation that’s going to play into the narrative of Trump’s campaign being on the skids.

Plus Trump will leave him out to dry at some point and then there’ll be the exposure of whatever dubious deal was done. So there’s that too.

I only found out recently that RFK’s missus is the actor Cheryl Hines, known for playing Larry David’s partner in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

You might have formed the impression from that that here was a very intelligent, attractive woman with a progressive outlook (I did), and wondered why the buggering fuck she actually married an anti-vaxxer crank like Kennedy. I still do.

If you have the time to spare, Behind The Bastards have just finished a four part series on RFKJR, and from that I learned the real mystery might be why she's still with him

Foo Fighters have reacted after Donald Trump used one of their songs during his presidential election campaign

This article details a substantial amount of acts who have objected to Trump using their stuff. I've always thought it amusing MAGA types belt out Springsteen's Born In The USA, stupidly ignorant to its meaning.
