    Glad to see someone challenging Biden. He is the worst placekeeper out there and apparently thinks he is too teflon to keel over any day.

    "
    Environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for president in 2024 as a Democrat.

    The filing was confirmed Wednesday by his campaign treasurer, John E. Sullivan.

    The 69-year-old is the son of former New York senator, US attorney general and assassinated 1968 presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy."

    I been trying to find his stance on gun control vs the 2A. I'd really like to be able to vote for him!

    Ouchy for Joe! The Kennedy name has more value than that of Biden. I don't know anything about him, but just the name alone grabs my attention. If he has policies that are appealing he might threaten Biden chances. He might even be better against Trump.

    Unlikely to get much traction.

    I guess but at the same time it isn't like the SCOTUS make up is going to significantly change. I just know that Trump, Biden, Harris, Desantis are all non-starters with me. I will roll the dice on an imperfect anybody else just to not have any of those clowns again.

    I won't vote for anyone that wants to disarm (or 'de-arm'...) their constituents. While being anti-NRA isn't necessarily the same as being anti-gun... it almost always turns out that way. And certainly the sort of mentality that blames them for being as responsible for murder as the one that pulled the trigger is a strong indicator of a severe lack of capacity for logic. But also it was 5 years ago. I'll be watching RFK very closely...

    And that is fine. That is just not an issue I feel particularly passionate about and I doubt that anything short of a mass killing live on air at the Country Music Awards that takes out Taylor, Dolly and Reba will create the momentum to ever pass much in the way of bans federally.

    I think that the Kennedy name just makes people in the DNC more hopeful he could be a serious challenger to Biden or block out Harris if Biden decides not to run. RFK Jr., has been a fixture in the Sierra Club/environmental movement for decades so it isn't like he is some billionaire wanting to greenwash his rep after making bank in coal or something.

    It seems like Republican wants anyone but Biden to be Democrat's nominee. That is a very good reason for me to support Biden!

    In my opinion it is a wonderful thing that Robert F. Kennedy is running for President. BigMedia can usually control the narrative... but this man is going to give speeches that will help Americans to become much more well informed about how corrupt Washington, D. C. really has been!

    One of the reasons I’m not a fan of the NRA is that they don’t have political good sense.

    Years ago the NRA gave money to the late Harry Reid’s re-election campaign because he voted for a piece of pro gun legislation. I forget the provisions of it, but it was a bill that had no chance of passing. Reid voted for it, the opposite of the Senate majority he lead, knowing full well that it won’t pass. The main stream news media reported Reid’s vote as highly unusual.

    The foolish leaders of the NRA took that as a reason to give money to Reid. If there had been a pro gun bill that had a chances of passing, you can bet Reid would have been leading his Senate minions to defeat it.

    His family name has something to do with it, but it’s far from enough. Kennedy family dominance in politics is a distant memory, even in Massachusetts. You have to be an old koot like me to remember when John and Robert Kennedy were political forces, and that power didn’t last for long, no more than part of the 1960s.

    Ted Kennedy rode on his brother’s coattails, and that pretty much ended when he drove off that bridge at Chappaquiddick Island. He was a power in the Senate because he knew how to play the game, better than his brothers did, but outside of Massachusetts, he was dead politically.

    Well the “Senile Puppet” defeated Trump by 7 million vote sitting in his basement. Now that the “Senile Puppet” is the POTUS and have entire US Mighty power, and the media, and the FBI and the DOJ , and US Military, can you imagine what that “Senile Puppet” will do to Trump in 2024?

    I can’t wait to see the results. I think CNN . MSNBC and other MSM can declare Joe Biden as winner by 8 am on Nov 5.

    The "Senile Puppet" had the coordination of the media allowing him to hide from questioning. The media also his his life long history of graft. And the media was hand in glove with the democrats in pushing the Russia hoax as un disputed fact.
    The vote itself was rigged by Zuckerberg inserting his operatives into the election machinery. And Covid "exceptions" were used to by pass the checks and balances that prevent fraudulent votes and vote counting.
    Personally, America is not deep enough in the ditch to realize they must fight back. Four more years of this madness will drive the last nails into our coffin. I always wondered if I would live long enough to see American democracy end. I just might.

    So you are saying that the "Senile Puppet" should use the media, the FBI, the DOJ, and the military to STIFLE THE PEOPLE and illegally take over the election? Is THAT what you are saying? The military, the DOJ and the FBI are TOOLS for a sitting President to stifle the VOTERS? Is THAT what you want?

    Wow... I'm glad Congress is having hearings to stop that NOW... as we speak!

    My point is Media, Facebook, will be there in 2024. All the dead people who voted for Joe Biden, they will be there in 2024. All the undocumented who voted for Joe Biden, they will be there in 2024.

    I just wonder why Trump or other GOP even running. Why you or other republican care about politics? We Democrats control every thing – WH, DOJ, FBI, CIA, NSA , Facebook, Google, all Teach company, MEDIA , 20,000 mules. Italian Server everything.

    Do you think when we have so much control , Republican can win election? You can rest assure the democracy you strive doesn’t exist. The America you once knew doesn’t exist. We liberal has no interest going back and restore the America you want. We will win 2024 and 2028 and 2032 and keep winning. The sooner you accept the political defeat, the sooner you can get back to your daily life. Enjoy your life – hunting, fishing, spending time with your family, BBQ, going to church. Leave what kind of democracy or government America should have to Election Winner.

    You really believe some hearing in congress will stop FBI keep investigating Trump? You really believe some hearing in congress will stop dead people voting for Joe Biden in 2024? You really believe some hearing in congress will stop Mark Z install virus in every voting machine in America to change vote? I don’t think so.

    But I admire your optimism. How sweet.

    It'll be more widely known eventually. For me, this is what the 2024 Presidential situation currently looks like:

    (#1, and by a mile) Donald Trump
    (#2) Robert Kennedy Jr.
    (#3, WAYYY below those two, and who will never ever in a million years get my disenfranchised vote) All other candidates, all of the globalists who are running, including the incredibly dishonest about his intentions "Top Gov" Ron DeSantis
