Anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist and Kennedy family black sheep Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has a long track record of back-tracking his way around public life, spouting problematic and often dangerous viewpoints in public only to quickly reverse course in the wake of criticism or claim he was just offering an alternate perspective.
Not a fan of them thugs on public payroll. But we already got them and if they are going to brutalize someone, they might as well beat up that drunken SOB Ronny Jackson.
Doc Ronny continues to display his excellent medical skills:
The congressman later told Terry that in his attempt to care for the patient, he thought it was safe to put a gumball in the patient’s mouth as a way to elevate her blood sugar. But in an exchange included in the report between Terry and White Deer EMS provider Kimberly Thomas, Thomas says that the gum presents a choking hazard to patients having a seizure, and that most gum is sugar free and thus would not address low blood sugar.
For those of you following along at home, your TPM evening briefing, written by me, has moved to a new location — same time, same place, but we’ve moved it out of the editor’s blog and onto the main frontpage. You can now find Where Things Stand over [t]here ︎:arrow_right:︎:arrow_right:︎
It is so nice to see Nicole and the Evening Briefing over here in the unruly section of the site. She often has good insights and interesting takes on the news that beg comments and now we canz comments! Huzzah!!! And there was much rejoicing.
Might be true, but I don’t think there’s any chance he would prevent Biden from being the candidate.
Now, Manchin, on the other hand, running as in Independent might just be enough to get Trump re-elected. I suppose it’s possible Manchin could get some Republican protest votes, but the GOP tendency is far too strong to let them not vote for the “true” GOP candidate if they have one AND if they are going to vote.
RFK Jr. is the type of candidate who makes me consider the ugly and self-sabotaging practice of ideological purges. Or at least finding some way to de program every primary voter who supports him.
Kucinich, what the hell happened to you, mane? Somebody invite Satan into your DMs in the last decade?
RFK Jr. is clearly a troubled man to the outside observer, and potentially suffers from some form and degree of mental illness. To that extent, it is grotesque that he is being used by the right wing for political purposes. It is a form of abuse all too typical for self-centered right wing, power hungry politicians.
Proof that the Darr State™️ is far more vast and nefarious than previously suspected! This “Don’t Choke Patients With Candy” rule is just part of their unpatriotic war on choking and candy.
Candy is good.
Patients need good things.
Give patients candy.
