I’m beginning to believe he’s a Republican operative.

I agree. He’s just too too nutty.

I'm with Joan on this. His previous abuse of alcohol, heroin, LSD, etc. argues that he has seriously diminished mental and physical function (e.g., he suffers from spasmodic dysphonia - a condition that has been linked to alcohol and drug abuse).

All of this argues that he should, under no circumstances, be seriously considered as a candidate for the presidency. The former guy was horrendous enough: this pathetic (but still hateful) soul cannot be allowed to have the authority to use nuclear weapons, let alone shape policy.

He might be the best thing for Biden

He’s going to get some support from the antivax crowd which at this point is in the republican orbit

I can see him siphoning more votes from the golfing grifter than from Biden

I think you’re right. Or else he’s taken too many drugs to even have a mind.

rQk isn’t fit to tie his father’s shoes let alone follow in his footsteps! My wife lost her cousin and his wife to COVID early on in the epidemic, but oh wait they both liked Chinese food.

And on just such a thin line, a conspiracy is born.

It’s nearly impossible to deny saying something when you’re on videotape saying it. Sadly, I suspect the trauma of his father’s & uncle’s murders, the deaths of multiple family members, his ugly divorce and ex-wife’s alleged suicide, and his season of taking drugs & drinking have damaged him cognitively as well as emotionally. He needs to shut up, go home, and process his thoughts with a professional therapist.

Shutting up and going home would be my vote, too.

Kennedy’s defense is very Trumpian; tweeting he “never implied that the ethnic effect was deliberately engineered”. The old “I’m not saying but many people are saying” insidious, BS.

Someone pointed that out to me recently. It gives wiggle-room to an asshole.

Is this a private dinner between a few people? He's an idiot! Is he mentally ill? I'm wondering what type of gathering this video is showing and why it's being spread around.

Great questions. I figure he’s a candidate and video is fair game, like when any other candidate misspeaks in public.

Have you seen "Succession"? He seems a little bit Connor Roy-like and is sure he is more important than he is. I bet the GOP loves that he creates controversy and spreads nuttiness as a Dem.

I'm late on "Succession," but intend to watch it soon.
