I grew up near the Hudson River. I am quite familiar with and was fond of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.s work with Riverkeeper as well as figures as diverse as Pete Seeger and Hamilton Fish Jr. who was the Republican congressman who represented the area and worked to clean up the Hudson River. Never in my lifetime would I have expected to see RFK Jr. bath in some toxic creek, though I could have probably imagined it when he was an environmental activist as a stunt.

- Going back to 2017, he has repeatedly walked away without signing EOs, in the middle of a press conference.
- Claims to know nothing about some EOs, said he didn’t sign them, that he isn’t involved in policy decisions.
- Falls asleep - meetings, funerals, you name it.
And now this
Trump admits flubbing figures in rambling trade war speech: ‘I misunderstood’

First, he told the press, “Both sides now agreed to reduce the tariffs imposed. After April 2nd, to 10% for 90 days as negotiators continue.” The date was more than a month in the past as he was talking May 12.
Trump then claimed that, until they began speaking, China was "being hurt very badly. They were closing up factories. They were having a lot of unrest, and they were very happy to be able to do something with us."
“And I don’t know if people realize this, but we made a great deal with China, a great trade deal. But it was a much bigger deal originally, and then they canceled it right in the last day,” Trump also claimed. He appeared to be talking about a previous negotiation from his first administration, and not the one that happened over the weekend, as he mentioned former Secretary of Agriculture Donny Perdue.
"Some of your faces I remember were there when that happened. I remember you, and we had a deal where they opened up their country to trade with the United States, and they took that away at the last moment," Trump said.
He then confessed that he was confused about the amount of the tariffs.

The junta does not wait for justice to get their shit together before they move on to the next crime.
Btw,
“And no person holding any office… shall, without the consent of Congress accept any present, emolument, office, or title of any kind whatever from any king, prince or foreign state”
Article 1, section 9 of the constitution.
So donald ought to be in serious trouble for that $400 million dollar plane from the royals of Qatar… plus tariffs.

I still don’t get it what is wrong with the current Air Force 1. If girls will have to do with 2 dolls, Trump should do with the jet he already has.

I’m sure Elmo pumping $100 million in ads for Ted’s re-election would alleviate any of his “concerns.”

NYT: “Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, posted photos on Sunday of himself and his grandchildren swimming in a contaminated Washington creek where swimming is not allowed because it is used for sewer runoff.”
Reached for comment, the brain worm said, “This is fine!”

When he was on trial in New York, he seemed to do it pretty much all day … But when asked, he denied the napping and said he was resting “my beautiful blue eyes.” That’s one of the most nauseating things I’ve ever heard him say. And so very in character.

Okay, that’s the money quote! Call or email your Congresscritters, Representative and Senators, and tell them you demand a vote on whether the Felon King will be allowed to accept this flying pimpmobile from “a foreign king”. Insist that you are against it (lots of reasons), even Ted “Kennedy Killer” Cruz thinks it’s a bad idea, and you expect them to vote against permitting the “gift.”
The sooner, the better! As the lawyers say, “time is of the essence.”
