I am emulating Putin?? Have you gone mad??
You should go to bed. You're becoming confused. It's Trumpty who's a Putin enthusiast.
Oh, probably the Florida GOP would have been fine with it if, say, Junior or Eric--or even the ghastly Lara--had suggested it.
So you're saying Mao and Stalin killed bad guys? That's a novel interpretation.
Did you ever vote for Republicans before your hero Trumpy came along? Have you always approved of fascists?
Not at this point. And I think you need to put down the violin and consider what ACTUALLY happened. It was this:
1. Trumpty made a huge fuss about how, since he had to be present in the nasty freezing cold courtroom every day except for Wednesday, the mean old judge was making him miss Barron's high school graduation. Never mind that Merchan had not said anything of the kind. Also disregard the fact that Trumpty hadn't attended the high school graduations of any of his other four children.
2. Merchan announced that court would not be in session on the 17th, so Trumpty was not only free to attend the graduation, but pretty much forced to go.
3. It was announced that Barron, who'd registered to vote in April, would be a delegate to the Democratic convention, along with some of his siblings and siblings-in-law.
4. And since that would have involved him in politics, and in his father's campaign, it would have been entirely legit for the press to treat him as an adult.
5. Melania pulled the plug on the idea, and now he'll presumably return to private status.
Both the Dems and the Republicans are concerned about RFK Jr.
And don't forget that he was a heroin addict for years. By choice. And his first two marriages were a mess. Especially the second. She was unbalanced, and committed suicide. Some of her friends blame him.
Hard to say what it'd be like. After all, he's a Kennedy, so he couldn't just chuck the Democratic legacy and expect to get the votes of many Dems or Dem-leaning voters. Some Republicans might be interested because he's a sort of renegade.
But as I said: he has a lot of baggage.
WTF???
I think the more exposure RFK Jr gets, the more voters will lose interest.
Except that when it was announced that Barron would be a delegate, Trumpty seemed surprised. I think it's more likely to have been the idea of one or more of the other kids.
I believe not many people have access to Trumpty. You don't just call him up, or shoot him an email. He doesn't use email. Or texts. And his inner circle is small.
Which way would he lean on what? He isn't getting much coverage here. Not by any of the media. And I, at least, haven't paid a visit to his website. I assume he has one.
What he mostly is, is an anti-vaxxer. And he thinks both Trumpty and Biden are two old. Thought he himself is 70, and so not exactly a youngster. And he has plenty of baggage. No one's done any serious digging yet, really. But if he ends up on the debate stage, that'll be done.
I think he's more potentially damaging to Trump.
Yes. And RFK Jr, while a nuisance, is a good speaker--except for his voice problem--and probably a decent debater. But I don't think making the cut, at least for the first debate, will be easy.
You should talk to the gop in FL they are fair game and respect a kid, same as the press did with Chelsea and Obamas kids....
WHAT?? A great deal of the press did NOT respect the privacy of Chelsea and the Obama girls.
And I don't think the Florida GOP would have announced that Barron would be a delegate unless someone in the Trump family had said that would be fine.
Biden is going to clean Trump's clock using his well-known spirited and nimble debating tactics.
That's what he did last time. Trumpty was a boor, constantly interrupting. And since then, Trumpty's lost a lot of his mental acuity. Think he'll want to talk about Hannibal Lecter? I wouldn't be surprised.
But I think Trumpty will refuse to participate. He seems to be working up to that already.
His mother's been very protective of him all his life. But now it's time for her to stop. It's said she may follow him to wherever he goes to college.
Obviously, that would be a mistake.
That came from his mother's office.
Must be a great place to live!
Trumpty wasn't the first to announce it. Seems to be a family thing:
Four of Trump’s children to represent Florida as delegates at GOP convention
The delegates are expected to vote for Trump at the party convention in Milwaukee.

That seems to have been before he was apparently planning to serve as a Republican convention delegate from Florida.
Until Melania put a stop to it.
Good job by Showercap...
Wow. That is GROSS.
She said it in JANUARY 2017, and then again in AUGUST 2017. Barron was ELEVEN YEARS OLD. She'd been a kid in the White House, and she'd received a lot of unwanted attention from the press.
So tell me: do you think Alito's wife has a "right to privacy" in light of her flag episode?
That's quite interesting.
That pizza might be good...
Sorry:
Chelsea Clinton: Let Barron Trump be a kid

Chelsea Clinton comes to Barron Trump's defense again

He is not a kid anymore. He's 18. A legal adult.
Note the "again".
That seems more likely. She used to be a law librarian. That's how she met Alito.
Christ on a crutch!! That was nearly TEN YEARS AGO. Do you NEVER look at dates??
Nooooo, it really isn't!!
Why one particular diet is found to be the best year after year
The Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes vegetables, fruit, seafood, olive oil, nuts and whole grains, is consistently shown to boost health and longevity.

I don't think so. Catholics aren't into that. It's an Evangelical thing.
LOL!! I wouldn't be so sure you're older than I am...
Maybe not ALL Italians love veggies, but most of them do. And that's part of why the Mediterranean diet is so good for you. Here. Have some broccoli rabe.
I know. I'm tempted to look, but don't want to get hooked. Though in my neighborhood, most people live in apartments, so things might not get so personal, since they mostly don't know each other.
lol, I get invitations to join mine, but I find them very easy to resist. I think most of them are pretty awful.
Oh yeah, sure. Though they'd probably have to put up with a lot of shit...
Come now! Italians love vegetables, and eat lots of them.
I think they probably would be. I've tried growing San Marzanos, and even regular plum tomatoes in the distant past, and they just didn't work for me.
Even Italians usually use canned tomatoes for sauce. They may use fresh for sauce a few times at the height of the season, but that's a lot of trouble. Though not for everyone. But... one September many years ago I was in a cab going home from the airport, and got into a conversation with the cabbie. He told me he and his brother-in-law had bought due quintali of tomatoes, and were making sauce of them.
Due quintali is about 440 pounds... Presumably the whole family was very busy...
I'll bet some reporter will succeed, sooner or later.
