#Tammy Murphy

[tomorrowusa]

Rep. Andy Kim (D-NJ-03 ) now looks like the overwhelming favorite to be elected the next US senator from New Jersey.

After incumbent Sen. Robert Menendez was indicted on federal corruption charges last September, three-term Rep. Kim announced that he would challenge him in the June 2024 primary. Soon after, New Jersey's first lady Tammy Murphy announced that she would also run for the Menendez seat.

Despite Tammy Murphy's clout and backing from the NJ political machine, Kim has held a solid lead in the polls and was unexpectedly winning endorsements from Democratic organizations in a number of NJ counties.

This month, Menendez anounced he would not compete in the primary. And last weekend Tammy Murphy suspended her campaign. There are still a couple of minor candidates in the primary but Andy Kim is now the clear favorite.

Not only is Andy Kim the likely winner of the primary, his campaign is leading to a reform of an archaic way of listing candidates on New Jersey primary ballots.

So Andy Kim didn’t just win a primary. He might have forced the machine to relinquish its iron grip. And politics just might be viable again in the Garden State. [ ... ] New Jersey has perhaps the most connection in the modern day to the old-line machine politics of the past. Reforms have weakened the power of Tammany Hall and its antecedents virtually everywhere, except in New Jersey. Voters have generally decided that they want to be in control of who represents them, and this simple request has imploded the gilded towers of the presumed deciders in our politics. That’s not to discount the achievement here, though. The combination of a comically corrupt senator and what people clearly saw as a corrupt process to replace him proved too much for the system to bear. But without Kim stepping up, with his profile as an ethical anomaly in the state and a message to run directly against that corruption, to loudly highlight the deficiencies of the system, it probably would have lingered on a while longer. It turns out that running on an actual belief system in politics can defeat the cynicism of a machine.

As for Republicans, the last time a GOP senator was elected from New Jersey, Richard Nixon was busy engaging in the Watergate cover-up.

NJ first lady Tammy Murphy ends Senate campaign, paving way for Andy Kim

In addition to his liberal record on domestic issues, Andy Kim has a strong background in national security and foreign affairs.

Personally, he is virtually the AntiTrump. He is personally modest and ethical. He earned his degrees and was even a Rhodes Scholar. He has respect for the institutions of democracy and for the people who serve them.

The night after the January 6th pro-Trump terrorists rampaged through the US Capitol, Andy Kim helped clean up some of the debris left by MAGA criminals.

I haven't been so enthusiastic about a politician since Barack Obama. And it's entirely possible that Andy Kim could be the Barack Obama of 2028; but first we have to defeat Trump this year.

This is a blog that is dedicated to Lyle and Erik Menendez, and we care little about the Monsters and it's actors. However, something has come up that needs to addressed in a larger context. And I am working on a piece about the show and it's implications. But I will talk about the Nicholas controversy briefly, and the more broadly about the parasocial relationships within this community.

This the photo that everyone is going completely crazy over. A photo of Nicholas Alexander Chavez with two people dressed as the Menendez brothers. Is this photo offensive? Yes, Is it in poor taste? Absolutely. But in the broader context, does it actually matter, I don't think so. To me, this photo is clearly Nicholas drawing up the battle lines between him and Cooper Koch. Just for the record, I do not like either actor, and I am not defending them. In my article I will go further into the real life ramifications of performative activism and celebrity culture.

I personally think that Nicholas is being deliberately provocative as a sort of 'fuck you' to the Menendez family and Cooper Koch. And can we please not forget that it only last week, where Cooper on Andy Cohen spoke about this penis size in regards to Erik Menendez. Neither of these two actors have any right to talk about the brothers, when they participated in a show that overtly sexualized them in every scene. That's not to mention the way that Lyle was portrayed. Nicholas in particular played such a grotesque caricature of Lyle Menendez, that I am glad that Lyle never spoke to him.

But the lines were blurred after the show aired. Firstly with Erik's message, then with Cooper visiting with Kim Kardashian (and I definitely have opinions about that) and then Ryan Murphy doubling down on the show's intent. The lines continued to be blurred with the brother's wives first condemning the show, and then softening and allowing the brothers to be in contact with people associated with the show. Personally, if a show or it's actors had implied that I had an incestuous relationship with my brother, after years of sexual and psychological abuse, I would not be in contact with them.

Lyle's wife, Rebecca even wrote this. Why? The best course of action would have been to distance themselves from associated with this program? I also believe that Tammi wanted to interview Cooper for her Discord. I am not part of that community, so I don't know if that happened. My view is, is that the wives are spokespeople for the brothers, and by engaging with these people and this piece of entertainment, they are validating it. Just for context, I don't recall either Erik or Lyle having any contact with the Law and Order actors, so why is this show any different? I would say it's probably the global reach, but given the tone of the show why even engage?

I think the larger issue here, is the parasocial relationship between actors and their projects. By expecting actors to be these representative of their work it leads to these blurred lines. So while I think that the Halloween costumes were done is extremely poor taste, there are larger at play her. How can we undo 35 years of misinformation. Misinformation that was permitted by the prosecution in the trial. Misinformation that was peddled by the media, that the public at large still believes. That's the issue here, that's why we started this blog. Our blog is committed to the Lyle and Erik, and the analysis of the case, and also their behaviour.

I do have a blog coming out about the show, where I will explore these topics further, but since it's relevant, I thought that I would write a post.

TW//: SA & Violence !!!

Ryan Murphys Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Mendez story is just another blatant showcase of nexflix trivalizing and sensationalizing a real story of murder and sex abuse for profit.

The way the show sexualizes these men (in very incesty ways) is the first fucking red flag. Continuing the gross trend of sexy killers, they are not heartthrobs or tragic anti-heroes of fiction, they are real men who shot and killed their Father Jose and mother Kitty Menendez who were abusing them throughout their childood. The second flag is the strange choice to portray Erik Menedez as a homosexual despite that having no basis in reality. A choice that is even more glaring considering what the real Erik Menedez suffered at the hands of his father- it harkens back to disgusting homophobic tropes about sexual abuse and homosexuaity. A trope you'd think Ryan Murphy, A gay man himself would know to avoid.

Erik Menendez has publically come out agaisnt the show - In a statement given by Tammi Menendez , Erik's wife. "Murphy shapes his horrible narrative through vile and appalling character portrayals of Lyle and of me and disheartening slander,"  Erik adds "It is sad for me to know that Netflix's dishonest portrayal of the tragedies surrounding our crime have taken the painful truths several steps backward — back through time to an era when the prosecution built a narrative on a belief system that males were not sexually abused, and that males experienced rape trauma differently than women."

https://www.npr.org/2024/09/23/nx-s1-5123898/menendez-brothers-comment-netflix-monsters

This hits on a darker and more twisted note, considering recently, as of 2023, a former member of Menudo (a popular boy band that was asscociated with Jose Menendez) Roy Rosselló, alleges that Jose Menendez had druged and SA'd him when he was a minor. This confession sheds new light on the Menendez case, given that at the time, the courts dismissed the menendez brothers claims of abuse.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/variety.com/2023/tv/news/menudo-menendez-brothers-father-rape-1235587235/amp/

In conculsion, I personally believe Ryan Murphy is trying to capitalize off of this and I think he should personally apologize to the Menendez family. Also he can fucking choke. Please avoid watching Monsters and if you can stomache it, please read up on the Menendez case if you would like to know more.
