Last Week Tonight EVISCERATED RFK Jr a week ago, and not enough people watched this. Everything he says is wrong, everything he does leads to death and suffering, he is literally evil, and everyone needs to stop giving him the benefit of the doubt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H34...

You see, here in the U.S., we have this quaint little tradition of not needing to whip out our military dick to feel good about ourselves. But that’s not nearly enough for the Bronze Bloviator, whose ego is so fragile it needs a $92 million security blanket. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Our simpleminded Attorney General thought it a good idea to go on TV and expressly state that she is promoting "cruel and unusual punishment" (in violation of the 8th Amendment) and denial of due process (in violation of the 5th and 14th Amendments). Can't wait until transcripts appear in courts.
