~For much of my adult life I have been writing about US election years - mainly because the US is the only country that has an "election year", as opposed to the six weeks that Britain and most of the Commonwealth require for an election campaign. But this is quite the weirdest primary season in American history: On the Republican side, a year ago Trump had the support of 45 per cent of GOP voters; now he's at 75 per cent, climbing to eighty. The caucuses and primaries are of less consequence than the indictments. Nevertheless, for Nikki's donors, a sham contest staggers on, of little interest and less importance.
Over on the Dem side, they can't even be bothered with lame-o nomination dinner-theatre. Four years ago, in response to a guy who's all candidate, no minders, they came up with a guy who's all minders, no candidate. It worked, and they figure it will work again.
Meanwhile, a man with the highest name-recognition in American history, mainly because his father and his uncle were both assassinated, has been denied Secret Service protection by personal order of his own party's Homeland Security Secretary. Robert F Kennedy Jr is the first candidate to have his security application rejected in fifty-five years ...which is to say since his namesake dad was killed.
Odd. If one were conspiratorially inclined, one might begin to wonder if the Deep State isn't inclined to teach a brute, hard lesson in what happens when scions of blue-chip brands are minded to wander off the reservation.

I am in no way, shape, or form an RFK Jr supporter, but what they are doing to him is awful and spiteful (denying him Secret Service protection). Even much of his own family has turned against him, just because he does toe the party line exactly they way he is evidently expected to.
btt
Average dimocRAT mentality. It’s in their DNA.
The leftists had JFK Jr. assassinated because he was going to campaign against them.
What they are doing is not only awful - it’s mind-boggling.
After what happened to JFK and RFK, I think most Americans would approve of life-long permanent SS protection for everyone in that family - even if they were NOT running for office!
But to decline SS protection of RFK jr. when he IS running - that’s downright bizarre, and I predict the Democrats will experience major blowback from the public once this sinks in.
Especially after President Trump starts making hay of this in his campaign rallies.
A cursory understanding of the man— even a simple perusal of his Wikipedia page, reveals him to be a monster in the Kennedy mold. None of us should be defending his candidacy.
Was I defending his candidacy?
RFK Jr. better keep a sharp eye out for men carrying ice picks. Just saying...
As I wrote in another thread, we don’t have to worry about Joe in the 2024 election... he is waiting till 30330 to run again
“Text Joe!@ 30330”
Fun Fact.
Somalia requires a voter ID.
(Is that racist???)
We The People picked a global fate determining fight with the Deep State,
by sending Trump as our champion, for the THIRD time now.
Their response will be as deadly and desperate as any cornered murderer,
in their efforts to escape elimination and Justice.

No, sorry for the appearance in my comment that you were supporting or defending him in any way.
I’m just amazed that anyone with an ounce of conservatism or moral insight would be anywhere near RFK Jr.
I attribute it to people seeing his name and not understanding what his specific history is…
