Robert F. Kennedy, Jr on Wednesday filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission, positioning him to oppose President Biden for the 2024 Democratic nomination.

 

In the past he's stated.  "My top priority [would] be to end the corrupt merger between state and corporate power that has ruined our economy, shattered the middle class, polluted our landscapes and waters, poisoned our children, and robbed us of our values and freedoms." 

 

Personally, for me, sounds like I guy I will give some consideration.  But for the establishment?  Another populist type threat.  So release the hounds in the mainstream media and let attacks begin!

Commies are fully aware that they're hypocrites and are intellectually dishonest. It's a feature, not a bug.

Time to remove Thomas from office, Roberts. He’s compromised and corrupt. 

 

 

LOL.

 

Another "Headline" reader.

 

 

From "Justice Thomas has accepted luxury travel for years from GOP donor, report says" (WaPo).

 

Federal law mandates that top officials from the three branches of government, including the Supreme Court, file annual forms detailing their finances, outside income and spouses’ sources of income, with each branch determining its own reporting standards. Judges are prohibited from accepting gifts from anyone with business before the court. Until recently, however, the judicial branch had not clearly defined an exemption for gifts considered “personal hospitality.” 

 

Revised rules adopted by a committee of the Judicial Conference, the courts’ policymaking body, seek to provide a fuller accounting. The rules took effect March 14 2023.

 

Gifts such as an overnight stay at a personal vacation home owned by a friend remain exempt from reporting requirements. But the revised rules require disclosure when judges are treated to stays at commercial properties, such as hotels, ski resorts or corporate hunting lodges. The changes also clarify that judges must report travel by private jet.

 

If I read that correctly, Thomas did nothing wrong. In the future, he'll need to disclose.

 

Reminds me of the Trump prosecution — going after someone you already hate because they hid things you wanted to be able to use against them.

Why is the supposed “neutral judicial review” taking political bribes?

this guy lives in Central Florida and posts crap like this all the time, I can not imagine the work he must put into staying in a bubble for this to be true. DeSantis won the vote by a huge margin and to be able to stay in that bubble would be like being in WNY and stating that nobody supports the Bills Stadium.

Looks like there may be an expiration date on the GOP.

You don’t think there is a significant difference between now and then?

 

Also, the data accounts for the shift in the Boomer generation. Millennials should already be far more conservative than they are if they are to follow the same pattern

I was 13 when the 70s ended. If you rely on seeing old TV , people would think that all 20-early  30 year olds were hippies. I don't know anyones parents were hippies back then

Youngster! We didn’t know that the Wizard of Oz turned to color in Munchkin Land until we finally got a color TV in 1970. 😂

My kids go to public schools and I deal with quite a few home schooled kids, the kids in public schools are not more mature or emotionally stable than home schooled kids. In fact in my experience over the past 10 years the homeschooled kids are more stable than the public school kids 

[Tommy Callahan]

meh. Homeschooling, Charters, private are all seeing more students as the public schools continue to circle the drain and fail today's youth.

 

Maybe if the schools thought things like math and science through graduation, we wouldn't have this huge number of kids that think they are ready for college but drop out/fail out the first year. driving up cost and the college debt bubble. and putting themselves behind the eight-ball going into life.

No surprise that Millennials, the worst generation, continues to stay liberal.  Worst employees I ever had to manage, were always the Millennials.
