Democrats nominating for 2024 - Mostly Bob Kennedy Jr

[beez]

One of my favourite books is by Tim Miller: Why We Did It. An easy read filled with so many great anecdotes, gratuitous language and copious amount of humility, introspection and absurdity.

After reading his book, one of the things on my imaginary bucket list would be to spend a week with him following candidates before Super Tuesday and getting drunk with him in the evenings listening to all his stories about prior campaigns.

Some exciting fundraising developments in the now independent campaign.

So the Democratic primaries are all a bit boring, right? Wrong!

A Democratic consultant who worked for the Dean Phillips campaign paid a New Orleans magician, Paul Carpenter, to use artificial intelligence to impersonate Joe Biden for a robocall that is now at the centre of a multistate law enforcement investigation.

He used AI software to make the imitation of Biden's voice urging New Hampshire Democrats not to vote in the state's presidential primary.

Carpenter holds world records in fork-bending and straitjacket escapes but has no fixed address. He says creating the fake audio cost $1 but he was paid $150 by the campaign.

If Dems get up this Nov I'd like to see a place in the admin for Beto ala Buttigieg. Give the guy some experience and exposure. He can't be a perennial almost winner in an all-red district that re-elects people like Cruz.
There is a crop a good Dems out there. They need to give their shots.
Anecdotal I know, but a guy I know has a daughter, newly grad working with a state Dem org. The insider news is that the DNC is seriously leaning toward Gretchen Whitmer for 2028. Not a bad option ATM.

Kennedy did pick up a key endorsement this week though.

Woody Harrelson? Noooo!

Woody Harrelson? Noooo!

Well, his father did confess to killing Kennedy's uncle, so Woody probably feels he owes him one.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a speech Sunday that the U.S. president should be sitting down with foreign adversaries for negotiations, name-checking Russia’s Vladimir Putin, China’s Xi Jinping and former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who hasn’t been in office for over a decade.

Kennedy made the comment the day Iran’s president since 2021, Ebrahim Raisi, dominated global headlines after his death in a helicopter crash on the Iran-Azerbaijan border. Raisi’s death hadn’t been confirmed by NBC News at the time of Kennedy’s comment, but reports of the crash had ricocheted around American and global media throughout the day.

and former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who hasn’t been in office for over a decade.

RFK Jr. may have made up a wild story about being ambushed by Indigenous people in a bow-and-arrow attack, and retaliating by throwing a stick of dynamite at them.

RFK Jr. May Have Made Up Wild Story About Bow-And-Arrow Ambush, Throwing Dynamite

The presidential contender told a tale about a 1974 rafting trip in Peru that some of his travel companions have since said was exaggerated or never happened.

Go easy on the man, this may have been whilst the worm was eating his brain.

He was on a podcast recently telling a story about how he went to rehab, and had all the scientists baffled as he kept testing positive for Alcohol. Not sure that was the home run anecdote he expected it to be.

What the ****?

He went falconing, like the common man does, and picked up a roadkill bear. Then when his dinner went late and he couldn't get back to his country mansion before his flight, he and his drunk friends put it in Central Park - with a bike - to make it look like a bicycle accident (roars of laughter) "we thought it would be amusing to whoever found it".

Next day it's on the news with massive public resources trying to find out who killed this bear.

And so on. With Roseanne guffawing and some chud in the background "I think it's a great story!"

What a shitty human.

Psychopath. His running mate should be Kristi Noem.
