"I got to know him [JFK] by pure happenstance. When you're a new member of Congress, they just assign you an office. And I got an office right across the corridor from Jack Kennedy, who had been there for two years before me. And on one of the other sides of my office was Lloyd Bentsen. In the old days you walked from the office building to the Capitol, and the bells rang and whatever, whenever there was a vote, so Jack and I used to walk back-and-forth together many, many times...Good guy. Great ambition, great charm -- he wanted to be President early. He was a charming fellow. I enjoyed his company. We got along well together, and when he became President he was very friendly to me."
-- Former President Gerald R. Ford, reminiscing about his friendship with John F. Kennedy. which dated back to when the two future Presidents were young members of the U.S. House of Representatives and had offices near one another, in an interview with Bob Greene for his wonderful 2004 book Fraternity: A Journey in Search of Five Presidents (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO).
Following President Kennedy's assassination, Ford was asked by President Johnson to serve as a member of the Warren Commission investigating JFK's murder and he was the ranking Republican from the House of Representatives on the Commission.

"Kennedy looked like a game show host, you know? The ultra-bright smile, gleam in his eye and buttered-toast hair. You know, perfect!"
"And Nixon looked like he crawled out of a spider hole in Iraq. He was just so sweaty, and … his five o'clock shadow [was] coming in too early. He was transforming right in front of us as he was speaking on television."

⊹ summary: You are studying the one and only US President John F. Kennedy for your dual-title doctorate at Harvard University in 1963. Upon growing closer to the president, you happen to meet one of his Harvard friends, Coriolanus Snow, who is campaigning for the 1964 Election. You're both brought closer as time passes, and your life changes forever. As the 1964 Election continues and political tensions escalate, you come together. With the help of you, the Kennedys, and his charming wit and cleverness, Coriolanus Snow ends up with all he's ever wanted. However, the ever-growing Women's Revolution puts everything and everyone at risk. What Coriolanus doesn't know is that politics is all a game-
But there are worse games to play.

❝And I remember when I met him, it was so clear that he was the only one for me. We both knew it, right away. And as the years went on, things got more difficult – we were faced with more challenges. I begged him to stay. Try to remember what we had at the beginning. He was charismatic, magnetic, electric, and everybody knew it. When he walked in, every woman's head turned, everyone stood up to talk to him. He was like this hybrid, this mix of a man who couldn't contain himself. I always got the sense that he became torn between being a good person and missing out on all of the opportunities that life could offer a man as magnificent as him. And in that way, I understood him, and I loved him. I loved him, I loved him, I loved him. And I still love him. I love him.❞ — Lana Del Rey, Spoken Monologue, National Anthem
“Go on, sweetheart,” Coriolanus mumbles, his lips tickling the shell of your ear, “Wave to the people. They love it, they love you.”
You stare at Coriolanus for a moment in absolute awe as he basks in the glow of attention from the crowd. At this moment, he’s electric and powerful. You couldn’t be more proud of him for it. The two of you are in a brightly colored motorcade, slowly cruising through downtown Boston in celebration. Your husband effortlessly smiles in glory, his eyes twinkling in unbridled emotion- a rare sight to see from him. Coriolanus has his moments, but not like this. His blue eyes are usually cold, distant, and emotionless unless looking directly at you. Despite the lack of obvious light, you can still see it. It’s one thing Coriolanus admires about you; that you can see past his demeanor. The last time you remember him looking so full of pride, though, was the day you married one another.
It’s hard to wrap your head around the fact that he succeeded at this- and you succeeded at this, too. Perhaps even harder to grasp that millions of people around the world now know your name and care about what you have to say. As Coriolanus said himself, the people love you. Sure, having the people on your side just as they are his matters to you. But at the end of the day, the only thing that matters for certain is if he truly loves you like he loves power. Sometimes you aren’t so sure. Sometimes, he looks at you, and you can’t see a thing.

Herbs n’ stuff
Getting high with Leon Kennedy after saving the President’s daughter
Leon Kennedy x genderneutral!reader
Crack fic
Dividers from: @cafekitsune
Idrk what this is, I didn’t have any inspo for a long time, but I wanted to write something with Leon. And, I thought of the meme of him making a joint, and this came about to be. I think it’s be one of my longest works yet (I apologise in advance for any possible erroneous spelling). Enjoy!
The meme:
The rain pattered against the grimy windows, thunder and lighting striking at arbitrary times, the pair a stark contrast against the soothing effects the rain had on yours, Leon and Ashley’s nerves after the events, the horrors, that had transpired just a few hours ago.
Leon and you were pretty bored, and extremely fatigued. You felt jealousy crawl its way out of the pit of your stomach and nearly escape your mouth through the means of pathetic whining at the sight of Ashely sleeping on one of the villagers’ bed, Leon’s leather jacket (which, quite frankly, you wanted one like it) splayed out under her in a poor attempt of protecting her from the filthy sheets.
You spun on your chair to face Leon, who was sat on the opposite side of the wooden table stationed near the window. “She’s out cold,” you stated the obvious, staring into his weary eyes, dark bags drooping. “Poor girl’s been through hell and back, she deserves some rest.” He replied, softy tapping his fingers on the table’s surface. “How’s your rib?” He asks, referring to the injury you had attained while fighting Saddler’s mutated form. “It’s.. still there, I think. So, that’s something,” you replied, shrugging slightly. “Don’t worry, Hunnigan said a chopper will get here soon,” he assured with a small smile, trying to alleviate the situation. “I’ll live.” Is your reply.
“Hey, you got any more of those green herbs?” You ask Leon, hopeful. “It won’t do anything for broken bones, y’know,” he stated. “That’s not an answer, ‘y’know’,” You mocked, rolling your eyes. “Yeah, I do have some left. Here,” he yielded, retrieving a variety of herbs from his attache case, rolling them up in a piece of paper and handing the combination to you. “Thanks.” You reply, not long before getting out a lighter from one of the pockets of your cargo pants, and lighting the rudimentary joint up.
“The hell are you doing?” Leon asks, seeing you inhale the smoke, then blow it out. “Look, different people have different coping mechanisms. This is the best I’ve got at the moment, take it or leave it,” You say, raising your eyebrows invitingly and holding the joint out to him.
He looked at the drug, then back at you, then at then back at the joint in you hand, and reluctantly accepted it. “Ok..” were his words before he took a drag of the reefer. “Weren’t you not a smoker?” You raised an eyebrow, teasing him. “People change.” He shut you down quickly.
It was amusing, really, two of the U.S.’s most elite agents, smoking healing herbs, high off their asses in a crumbling shed in the middle of a forest right in the Spanish ass-crack of nowhere, saying whatever came to their minds, lamenting about how ‘relationships are a waste of time, man’, as you had re-iterated several times, each more sober than the last, whilst simultaneously laughing (as little and quietly as you could, considering your broken rib and Ashley respite) at his stories of rejection.
‘No use calling yourself a one lady type of guy if there aren’t any women interested in you’, as he had quoted.
It had been a nice change of pace, seeing Leon in a more mellow state. His snark combined with the misanthropic attitude, which seemingly never faltered, cracked, allowing out a more vulnerable, exposed Leon. A more.. human Leon.
You couldn’t remember where you first heard the corny-ass saying, ‘laughter is the best medicine’, but this moment solidified it. Or maybe it was the green herb, mixed with some other leaves of which colours you couldn’t remember. Probably, both.
“And then she went to the bathroom and jumped outta the fucking window! And left me to pay for her meal! The nerve,” his words were bitter, yet you could see the amusement of the anecdote in his bloodshot eyes.
You couldn’t remember the last time you had went on a date. It was somewhat surprising that Leon had time to indulge in the romantic aspects of life, considering your own schedule working as an agent, but maybe he just manages his time better than you do. Who knows.
“Hey, times are tough, man,” You shrugged, taking another drag of the badly-rolled up joint, and slowly blowing out the fumes. “How long did Hunnigan say it was gonna take for a chopper to get here?” You asked for what seemed like the hundredth time that night. “It should be here in,” Leon took a look at his watch, squinting like he had some sort of visual impairment, then he looked up at you again, “15 minutes or so. Going by the storm outside, I’d triple that.” He replied nonchalantly. “I say 30 minutes, wanna bet?” You raise an eyebrow, staring him directly in his red eyes. “You sure you wanna? I’m right pretty much all the time,” he declared cockily, smirking. “Yeah, ‘right’ my ass, you’re just lucky as hell. I wouldn’t be surprised if you have a pot of gold at home.” I rolled my eyes. “And I wouldn’t be surprised if you have a cauldron.” He retorted, stumping out the joint you both were smoking by pressing it into the windowsill on his right.
“Devastating blow.” You deadpan, then return to the subject at hand. “10.. Hamiltons if I’m right, and vice-versa.” You established, and he nodded. There was a comforting silence which ensued, and you took the time to observe Ashley’s sleeping form, her features soft and peaceful. A contrast to the events that had transpired just a few hours prior.
“What do you think’ll happen to her? In the future, I mean,” you looked back at Leon. “Who knows?” He shrugged, “She’s got her whole life ahead of her. I remember when I was her age..” he replied, closing his eyes. “Okay, old man,” You joked, just an innocent jab, in your mind. “Raccoon City.. I was her age when I survived its horrors, back in 1998.” He revealed sombrely. “Shit, Leon, I didn’t mean to.. I’m sorry, I didn’t know.” You apologised instantly. “It’s all right, let’s forget it. Better that way.” You nodded understandingly.
A while later, after the tension had dissipated a little, you received a transmission from Hunnigan. You smirked at Leon, then looked at his watch, anticipation brewing in your core at the thought of 10 dollars, and more importantly, proving him wrong.
“Hey Hunnigan,” you greeted sweetly, waiting for her announcement. “It’s good to hear your voice, Y/N, is everyone all right?” She asked, her voice fuzzy. “We’re all.. alive. Baby Eagle is safe, but I have a broken rib. As for Leon, he’s all good.” I replied. “The chopper has just landed, at the pick-up point. Hunnigan out.” She finalised the announcement, and you looked at Leon.
“30 or 45?” You asked, confidently. He sighed, rubbing his temples. “30.” He begrudgingly admitted. “Pay up,” You smiled victoriously, holding your hand out. “My wallet’s in my jacket,” he replied. “Okay then, we’ll settle this later.”

2024 US Election Information
We have roughly 1 year until the 2024 US election. I've put in some research, and here are my conclusions.
TLDR for those of you who don't have time or focus: Cornel West (Democratic Socialist running as People's Party -> Green Party) is the ideal candidate to vote for - normally I wouldn't advocate voting third party, but we may actually have a shot for once, and he has excellent policies. Jill Stein (Green Party) is a potential backup, though if West drops out, our best option for Democratic party is Marianne Williamson.
Please spread this information, especially to residents of Texas, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada. Detailed information under the cut.
Current Fascist and Republican Candidates
Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, Asa Hutchinson, Tim Scott, Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, Ryan Binkley, and Doug Burgum.
I'm not going to entertain their details, but I will note that the information I picked up while being exposed to alt-right communities from the inside via my fascist parents earlier this year shows strong evidence that Republicans are likely going to split between Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis (viewed as a betrayal by Trump supporters), and openly fascist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (I'll cover him later).
My guess is a 6/3/1 Republican vote split between Trump/DeSantis/Kennedy, Jr..
Current Democratic Candidates
Joe Biden, Marianne Williamson, and Dean Philips.
Biden has overall failed to complete the majority of his campaign promises, and has been directly supporting Israel during the genocide of Palestine, as well as deferring to Republicans to be "bipartisan" (I don't think I have to stress enough that a bipartisan democrat is not a democrat) - do not vote for him.
Williamson is a high-school educated 71-year-old author from Los Angeles, California. She is known for being Oprah Winfrey's, "spiritual advisor," (double red flag), and dropped out during the 2020 election (another red flag).
While she supports the reinstatement of Roe v. Wade, the decriminalization of cannabis and psychedelic drugs, the reduction of CO2, and moving to 100% renewable energy by 2035, her advocacy for the outright banning of assault and semi-assault weapons for civilians without military reform of the same is a slight red flag when combined with her relationship with Oprah Winfrey (an Obama supporter, the president who authorized quite a lot of drone strikes in West Asia) and drop-out makes her not a great candidate.
Philips is a Bachelor's (Brown University) and Master's Business (University of Minnesota) educated 54-year-old three-term congressman who is noted for criticizing Biden running for a second term on account of both political moderacy and medical concerns.
Philips unfortunately wants to increase police funding for some reason, but advocated for better training, including mental health training. He also advocates for what he calls, "comprehensive immigration reform," in the form of increased border security and streamlining legal entry (this ignores the problem outlined by the UN that people seeking asylum are likely to have to enter a country illegally before they can seek support), and the only real good stance he has is giving reproductive rights to patients, rather than politicians.
Philips is essentially a moderate Republican, and is a bad candidate. Do not vote for him.
Current Independent Candidates
Fascist (not his stated political stance, but it's what he is)
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is a fascist that has openly quoted Nazi propaganda in his political campaigns, is an anti-vaccine activist, and has spread anti-science conspiracy theories such as vaccines causing autism and the non-existence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. I cannot stress this enough, do not fucking vote for Kennedy, Jr.
Democratic Socialist
Cornel West is a Bachelor's (Harvard University), Master's, and Ph.D. (both Princeton University) educated 70-year-old progressive activist that switched his running party from the People's Party to the Green Party, despite being a both public- and self-described democratic socialist.
When asked why he wasn't running as a Democrat against Biden, he stated that, "Neither party is speaking to the pressing needs of poor and working people."
His party plans are a wealth tax on the rich, a national $27 minimum wage, a federal Universal Basic Income, 6 months of paid family leave, a 4-day work week, national free Pre-K childcare, "Immediate cessation of all oil and gas leasing projects on federal lands and waters," "Federal moratorium on fracking, carbon capture, and direct air capture technologies, geoengineering, and other false climate solutions," putting abortion rights in the Constitution, and nationalized healthcare.
Here's where I want to lay out something important. I normally wouldn't advocate for voting for a third party candidate due to the Spoiler Effect, but
Considering the United States' Democratic majority, popular vote records showing a common Republican minority, the absolutely incredible policies West stands for,
The growing support for third parties in the United States, and his policies aligning with public opinion,
Cornel West is the ideal candidate to vote for. Spread this information like wildfire - we may have one shot at the first third party win in US history in the upcoming 2024 election, and
If successful the dominant parties will be Fascist vs. Socialist, denying most, if not all, future Republican wins.
Our target toss-up states are Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada.
Converting Texas to third party, or even just Democrat, will throw the Republican vote entirely and all but guarantee a Democrat, or hopefully third party, 2024 election win,
Which is absolutely possible, as Texas is majority Democrat and wins Republican votes via gerrymandering despite public opinion, which is why it swings occasionally.
Democrat states also need to be switched to majority third party votes, with particular emphasis on California, New York, and Illinois.
GET PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR CORNEL WEST!
Reference map of polling for the future 2024 election:
Libertarian (slightly Conservative to alt-right, really depends on the person)
Chase Oliver is a surprisingly progressive high school educated 38-year-old anti-war Libertarian that left the Democratic party after witnessing Obama's aggressive anti-West Asian war policies who has expressed desires for criminal justice reform and ending wars abroad, though hasn't elaborated on either.
Green Party
Jill Stein is a Bachelor's (Harvard University) and Medical (Harvard Medical University) 73-year-old Jewish doctor who previously ran for and represented the Green-Rainbow Party as the governor of Massachusetts.
Stein is notable for being an activist and protestor who has both protested outside buildings and testified before legislative and other government bodies against coal plants, mercury leaks, and unclean and unsafe groundwater.
Presumably, her stances will focus on environmental protections, trans rights, and Jewish protections, making her a potential alternative should West drop out.
Conclusions:
Again, don't fucking vote for Trump, Haley, Ramaswamy, Hutchinson, Scott, DeSantis, Christie, Binkley, Burgum, Biden, Philips, or Kennedy, Jr..
Our potential backup Democratic candidate is Williamson.
The ideal candidate is West, with Stein as a viable backup.
As absurd as it sounds, I want you to vote third party for Cornel West.
If you want a wealth tax on the rich, a national $27 minimum wage, a federal Universal Basic Income,
6 months of paid family leave, a 4-day work week, national free Pre-K childcare,
"Immediate cessation of all oil and gas leasing projects on federal lands and waters," "Federal moratorium on fracking, carbon capture, and direct air capture technologies, geoengineering, and other false climate solutions,"
putting abortion rights in the Constitution, and nationalized healthcare,
VOTE FOR CORNEL WEST AND GET OTHER PEOPLE TO DO THE SAME.
WE HAVE A CHANCE AT THE FIRST THIRD PARTY WIN IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE DENIAL OF FUTURE REPUBLICAN WINS.

"If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read: 'President Can't Swim.'"
-- President Lyndon B. Johnson, on the cynical media coverage that he believed he and his Administration often received, particularly when compared to the coverage of his predecessor, John F. Kennedy.

BOSS!BOBBY KENNEDY AND SECRETARY!READER HEADCANONS
taglist: @remotewatch @bloxholden35 @kennediva @h-l-v-kennedy-blog @h-l-vlovesvintage @absurdlyvintage @chemicalw0rld @fortheloveofjos @kimcrystal123 @astro-vibes-bro @tsloverr-13
warnings: 18+, smut, sleazy yet pathetic boss!bobby you can't help but love, bobby being a service top, and workplace s*x.
words: 1159
i imagine your meet cute to be that he saw you around the department of justice and advertised a secretarial position in the hopes that you’d apply 😭
would try to act normal at first as your boss but would increasingly get more and more desperate for you
abandons the pile of work he has on his desk to bring tea and cakes to your desk ( much like a momma bird brings home food for her babies cause he’s WEIRD like that )
has a problem with not meeting your eye for a solid couple of weeks because he doesn’t want to look like a pervert preying on his younger secretary
but your kind of into it so you tell him that…
his other employees are so confused at how many raises/christmas bonuses you keep getting when you literally spend your work week sitting on the edge of bobby’s desk chatting to him and watercoloring paintings of ballerina’s at your desk
and then turning the paintings into bobby for his praise (bobby would have a praise-giving kink let’s talk about it!) to which he would proudly display them in his office like this:
secretary!readers would be such a bad influence on his work ethic like he’s such a lover boy/wannabe house husband
you have to make the first move because lord knows bobby is respectful enough to not initiate anything
is REALLY into spanking. like a freak amount.
you take him into a s*x shop with paddles and handcuffs just to watch him blush with 0 intent to buy anything
you leave the shop together but bobby makes some excuse to cut your impromptu date short claiming that he got an important call
you find out the true reason when you arrive the next morning to find a very inconspicuous box lying at the foot of your desk wrapped in a green velvet ribbon. you open the box to find paddles, whips, and cuffs ( in sterling TIFFANY silver no less )
likes to make love to you with your knees pressed to your chest on the rug of his office
is totally turned on by the voyeurism added factor of having a workplace relationship and makes a game out of how much he can piss of the old curmudgeon’s that he works for in the justice department
when bobby can’t be with you for whatever reason ( like having an aspiring president for a brother ), you watch the jimmy hoofa hearing on your personal sony television set with your hands inside your jersey boy shorts and once bobby knows he teases you ALL DAY about it (authors note: HE LOOKED GOOD AS HELL IN THOSE MEETINGS WHY LIE?)
you ♥️ to hang onto bobby’s tie when he’s f*cking you cause why not
loves to quote anais nïn erotic passages and pass him notes over his desk… acting like it’s serious business. specifically these ones:
you offhandedly try to baby trap bobby (LIKE THE PERVERTED WOMEN YOU ARE) and think your being so sneaky about it but in reality he caught on immediately and is equally into it
bobby just ADORES to crudely touch and play with fruits that look like a certain female anatomy and give them to you with a look like this
you get mad when Bobby leaves you to do LIFE-SUSTAINING things without you like going to the bathroom, eating etc.
your both so obsessed with each other and feel the need to consume every single thing the other has as a means of fostering a deeper connection
is often thought of as the weaker brother so over compensates in the bedroom by adopting a more dominant lean
punishes you for managerial mistakes like using the wrong stamps, or accidentally sending a letter to the wrong person by waiting till everyone in the office has left and spanks your mound, making you count each and every one
but then makes it up to you by assuring you that’s he’s not mad just disappointed while giving your hair many many scratches upon the head
you fake a fever and call in sick to get bobby’s attention, and you make a miraculous recovery after Bobby’s frustrated voice travels through the landline stating ‘that he’ll be coming over to “sort you out before the day’s done”’
when bobby comes down with the occasional fever he turns into the cutest boy in all of massachusetts! ( as if he wasn’t already ) and sucks on your thumb to go to sleep ( you think it’s weird but your also dedicated to whatever makes him feel better )
you and him decide to visit his sister’s house pat to see her and peter’s new baby while your ovulating… big mistake huge
bobby’s cuddling and holding the new beau and suddenly you’re telling him to give it to you raw the same night
he loves to use your shampoo since he’s hasn’t bought haircare items since never and then people start to say that he smells exactly as you do… way to be discreet
you’re such a messy eater with all your foods and without regard to anyone around you/or the vibe of the event you always demand that bobby likes the remnants off your hand. originally it was a purely utilitarian act as you hate the feeling of sticky hands but you quickly realise that it turns both of you on…
bobby would love to cook, clean and manage the household despite holding down a stereotypically masculine job. he regards you in such high (pseudo-religious) devotion that he wouldn’t dream of making you perform traditional tasks unless you explicitly expressed an interest in it
a huge gossiper and VERY interested in whatever morsels you have on the socialites of massachusetts elite class ( which you only have contact through bobby )
would always take the chance to walk you to and from the office
once he takes you to his favourite church that’s when you know your both in it for the long haul and he is well and truly committed
c*ms from eating your out ( he a munch )
he cries while he c*ms occasionally
he loves to walk around naked ( like please have some decorum )
constantly rips your tights and condescendingly tells you that he’ll buy you some more
you buy lots of little rfk pins from the local pop-up and COVER your bralette in them to the point where the bra is barely showing and then splay yourself out on his bed sheets waiting for him to come home…
you don’t answer his calls cause you fell asleep early and he nearly throws up in worry because he’s a true yearner boy unlike some...

Emily Singer at Daily Kos:
In 2016, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. crapped all over Donald Trump and his supporters, agreeing that they were racist idiots too stupid to succeed, according to a trove of radio clips unearthed by CNN.
CNN reported that Kennedy—Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services—made the comments on his radio show “Ring of Fire,” where he regularly criticized Trump and those who backed him. For example, in an episode that aired in March 2016, Kennedy praised journalist Matt Taibbi’s criticism of Trump and his base. “One of the things that you write so beautifully, and your stuff is so fun to read, but you write about Trump, quote, ‘The way that you build a truly vicious nationalist movement is to wed a relatively small core of belligerent idiots to a much larger group of opportunists and spineless fellow travelers whose primary function is to turn a blind eye to things,’” Kennedy said, quoting Taibbi’s writing. “‘We may not have that many outright Nazis in America, but we have plenty of cowards and bootlickers, and once those fleshy dominoes start tumbling into the Trump camp, the game is up.’” Kennedy went on to say that Trump is a racist demagogue but isn’t smart enough to be effective like Adolf Hitler because Hitler had a "plan" and “was interested in policy,” while Trump is "non compos mentis"—Latin for "of unsound mind."
CNN reported that Kennedy also compared Trump to other past autocrats, like Benito Mussolini and Francisco Franco. “And you can see that every statement that Donald Trump makes is fear-based,” Kennedy said in an episode that aired in December 2016, according to CNN. “Every statement he makes. You know, we have to be fear of the Muslims. We have to be fear of the black people, and particularly the big Black guy Obama, who’s destroying this country, who’s making everybody miserable.” Kennedy went on: “And only one person has the genius and the capacity to solve these things. And I’m not gonna tell you how I’m gonna do it. Just trust in me, vote for me and everything will be great again. And of course, that whole thing is like a carnival barker.” He also called Trump racist and compared him with former Alabama Gov. George Wallace, an infamous segregationist.
“Wallace’s appeal … was to White middle-class men who had experienced the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s as a social demotion, and who found their lives in turmoil,” Kennedy said, according to CNN. “And that kind of insecurity, I think, is the target of the summons that Donald Trump has sent out to the American public.” Of course, Kennedy has now changed his tune, blaming his past comments on—you guessed it—the "mainstream media." “Like many Americans, I allowed myself to believe the mainstream media’s distorted, dystopian portrait of President Trump. I no longer hold this belief and now regret having made those statements,” he told CNN. “There’s apparently nothing that can’t be blamed on the mainstream media, even one’s own very public criticisms,” CNN reporter Jim Sciutto wrote in a post on X. Ultimately, Kennedy is one of a number of people now in Trump's orbit who slammed the president-elect in the past but have since retracted their statements in an effort to amass power.
During a March 2016 appearance on Ring Of Fire, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gave praise to journalist Matt Taibbi’s blunt criticisms of Donald Trump and his MAGA Cultists by calling them “belligerent idiots.”
Now, both Taibbi and RFK Jr. are on the Trump train (esp. RFK Jr.), or at least Trump-curious. Also, Trump’s VP pick, JD Vance, was once ardently critical of him, but now is a suck-up toady for him.

Prince Philip's quote about Markle to Harry.... 'My dear boy....' by u/ElectricalAd9212
Prince Philip's quote about Markle to Harry.... 'My dear boy....' The late Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, was one of the most remarkable men of the 20th Century.His mother is buried in the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem because of all she did to save Jewish lives during the Holocaust.He grew up in the shadow of the Nazis.He came to Britain, a Greek prince, and became such a highly decorated serviceman during WW2 he received medals and commendations.He was a witness to the Japanese surrender at the end of the war.He was so well regarded that people believed he could have gone on to become Head of the Royal Navy one day.But he chose to be the 'strength and stay' of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, being the loving hand that allowed her to flourish whilst being loved, the strength of a Queen will always be the companion of a Queen. The same is true for Kings and their companions. Catherine is the strength of future King William.I learned a detail about how, after President Kennedy was assassinated, at the funeral, Prince Philip stayed with JFK's children and played with them, held their hands during the sadness of that day.He had seen it all.War, horrors, tragedy, triumph. The rise and fall of nation states, Kingdoms, Royal Houses.He was an elegant man, a practical man, a great man.He had so much wisdom. He knew about the character and motivations of men and women.One thing stays in my mind about what he said to Harry about Markle.'My dear boy, actresses are for stepping out with, not for marrying'It wasn't totally true. The actress Sophia Winkleman is married to Lord Federick Windsor, second cousin of King Charles, and she is an exceptional and supportive person.But for Markle, he was a exceptionally correct. He read her a mile off. He knew her character and motivation. He was so clever, and had innate intelligence about true souls and motivations of people.No wonder she hated him, and tortured him on his death bed with her Oprah lies.May God grant all the Royal Family the innate wisdom and insights of Prince Philip, forever. post link: https://ift.tt/QDj59iJ author: ElectricalAd9212 submitted: November 13, 2023 at 01:24PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit
