Hey Bill, what the fuck? You put up an opinion, i responded to it, you asked a question, i answered. So i mistyped his name. I’m nearly 50, on a phone and my eyes are not great. So i typo a lot. And i’ve been reading him a long time too. But this isn’t a bookshelf measuring contest mate.

Way to be balanced with someone. Particularly a subscriber who reads your work. So yeah, nice Job Bill. I would have thought someone, like me, born before the internet became common place, would have maintained some old school graces and not descend immediately into name calling. Apparently not... but it’s not a good look, particularly when you know absolutely zero about me, and i have done nothing to offend you personally.

Good to apologize, Bill.

But, what about brother West? He’s not a shill for the Zionazis, the way RFK Jr is, and he’s definitely not a warmonger, or a silver spoon baby.

RFK Jr, in addition to being an unhinged supporter of Isra-hell, Yuck-crane, and the United Snakes, also advocates for confining addicts to a work camp for five years of “treatment”?.

And, his repeated references to “my Uncle, my Dad”, almost feel like he’s trading on the legacies of two American icons for legitimacy.

I’ll tell you Bill, when I listened to “Bobby” discuss his plan for addiction rehabilitation, it sent chills down my spine. Lockin’ up the junkies, and puttin’ them to work, so they can be happy warriors for the “higher power”. Gabor Mate has a handle on the origins of addiction. Gabor’s an MD, with decades of clinical experience. “Bobby” is a lawyer. RFK May, or may not, be a good man. But, his positions on Israel and addiction mitigation, reside in the “crockpot” realm, as far as I’m concerned.

And, he “identifies as” a democrat. Ever since “slick Willy” Clinton, the Democrats have been feeding us a nonstop succession of candidates who are the scum of the earth. Hillary, Bill, Obama, and Biden. And, by extension, “cookies” Nuland, Snake Sullivan, and “stinkin” Blinkin, the architects of the Maidan coup, and the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

I don’t trust them anymore.

But, what do you say about Cornell West, Bill?

He might not be elected, but he could upset the apple cart.

Too much vitriol on these damn intertubes, don’t you agree, Bill? I’d much rather banter with you at the local restaurant, or coffee shop.

I sincerely doubt that there’d be even one “fuck you”. Probably just a disagreement about who would pick up the check.

Have a splendid Sunday, sir. I’ll be talking to you, as it appears that we’re all caught in “the Net”.

This election has already been gamed out by the DNC’s AI (located in the subbasement of the Clinton Foundation HQ in Little Rock). After 666 million iterations, here’s what the DNC AI spit out:

Gavin Newsom announces his candidacy. Soon after that, Biden resigns the presidency for "health reasons" (before corruption charges become unavoidable). President Harris, of course, announces her candidacy. In the primary, the DNC engineers Newsom’s dramatic squeaker over both President Harris and RFK, jr. (Then, Newsom, in a move to cement party solidarity, immediately announces he will make President Harris his Attorney General and RFK his Interior Secretary.) Meanwhile, Green Party Candidate Cornell West gets 10% or more of the popular vote, as will Ramaswamy (who by then is on the Libertarian ticket), which helps Newsome win a second even more dramatic nail biter over “Jailhouse” Trump (who will no doubt be serving time in Leavenworth by then). MSNBC’s ratings go through the roof. And the Empire marches on.

I've written her several times that I by far prefer West's platform, character, brilliance, and commitment. He's way beyond any political candidate in my lifetime. I've read his works and loved him for years.

I keep highlighting RFK Jr.'s statements because I want the ISSUES and analyses he is offering given some attention - I am not "supporting" him in the typical electoral sense. I don't do electoral politics. I want to build public awareness and challenge people while exposing the corporate Dems as frauds (which RFK is doing)..

I agree with your criticisms of RFK, and he's really bad on border and migration issues too. I've even criticized his positions on the environment and climate (far too neoliberal corporate, which is ironic, because he spent his career suing corporate polluters who violated laws and regulations that the captured government agencies failed to enforce). He recently tweeted in a way that undermined climate activists.
