Yeah but it will be fine if he is president. 

We all know it doesn't matter who the president is... that has no affect on our lives.

Nikki Haley getting ≈ 22% of the primary in Indiana tonight. She dropped out quite a ways back.  Not a good sign for Trump although haven't caught the details or final tallies.

Still? 

Oof.

Biden needs to swap Harris for Haley. That would be hilarious.

Joe Lieberman is out of the picture now so why not?

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. experienced a series of health issues in recent years, including an abnormality that he said was caused by a worm that entered his brain and then died, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.

In 2010, Kennedy, now 70, experienced severe memory loss and mental fog, he said in a deposition two years later. According to the Times, he consulted top neurologists familiar with the medical history of his uncle, the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, who had died of brain cancer in 2009. A New York doctor, after reviewing a scan of his brain, told him that his health issues could be “caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died,” Kennedy said in the 2012 deposition, which concerned a divorce from his second wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy. Robert Kennedy said at the time that his earning power had been negatively affected by the cognitive issues, the Times reported.

Around the same time, the Times said, he suffered from mercury poisoning, which can lead to neurological issues such as loss of peripheral vision, muscle weakness and issues with movement, hearing and speech, as well as memory loss. Kennedy told the paper he has recovered from the memory loss and brain fogginess and that the parasite did not require treatment.

In addition, he has grappled for decades with atrial fibrillation, or A-fib, an irregular heartbeat. He told the Times it has been more than a decade since he experienced the condition and said he believes he no longer suffers from it.

Lots of jokes this a.m.  NYT reporting is a clue that Team Trump slipped the deposition/info to that press -- probably.  Trump looking weirder and personally weaker as the NYC trial goes on.  Internal research may be showing RFK, Jr. is carving out some of his support.

It's amazing that having a brain worm is only the 13th worst thing to ever happen to a Kennedy.

 

I don't get the sick and twisted humor aimed at him over this. Suffering from brain fog and being unable to work should be something we express concern over.

That, and he's only 70. How can he possibly be expected to serve as Prez at such a young age ?

Serious question: Don't colleges and universities have student health centers anymore? Or is "healthcare reform" a euphemism for reinstating the holding in Roe v Wade?

Old Laurence didn't consult the actuarial tables before that post.  Trump may not make it to 2029 let alone through 2033.  Truth be told, I kind of check the news every morning.

I really hope this thought proves wrong, but I get the feeling that Mike Johnson will end up w/a legacy Dennis Hassert would be thankful for not having.

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Ohio Senator JD Vance, Florida Senator Rick Scott and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy . . .

. . . are all steaming piles of dog excrement.

But forget about Ramaswamy and Burgum. The first one ain't white and Trump and half his base are bigots and Burgum comes from a state with nearly zero electoral votes which Trump will win easily without bothering to campaign there. So Vance or Scott it has to be.

Read too quickly, initially.  

Maybe.
