It is more clear than ever that the major dangers to American democracy are Elon Musk, the owner of X (Twitter); Donald Trump; and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Musk is spending massive amounts of money backing Trump’s bid to go back to the White House, and is promoting as much publicity as possible to support a man who tried to overthrow the US government on January 6, 2021.
And it is clear that mentally, both Trump and RFK Jr are unstable figures who would endanger the stability of America domestically and in foreign affairs.
RFK Jr. has only been able to make it to the ballot in 15 states so far, but may end up on most state ballots, and there are people who without rhyme or reason will vote for him. The danger is if RFK Jr. is on the ballot in “battleground” states, that could tip the balance in the Electoral College! And if he is not on other state ballots, those annoyed by that reality might vote for Trump, who would have gone to Kennedy, otherwise.
So these three individuals are “a clear and present danger”, who yet could determine the future of the nation!
A judge ruled that RFK Jr. can’t appear on the New York ballot.

Desperate Don is holding another press conference tomorrow at 4:40 pm.
Today, he’s going to North Carolina to give a speech on economics. Guarantee you he won’t stay on message.
RFK Jr.’s campaign reached out to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign to arrange a meeting about a possible role in her administration if he drops out of the race and endorses her. The approach from Kennedy’s team occurred last week, and no meeting between the two candidates materialized. The effort to meet comes weeks after Kennedy and former President Donald Trump met in person during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where the two discussed a possible role for Kennedy in a potential Trump administration in exchange for an endorsement.

I wish he would drop out, but he’s unfit to be in anyone’s administration.

Desperate Don is having his press conference. CNN and Fox are showing it. MSNBC decided not to show it. He’s at his luxury golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. In addition to reporters, he has some of his supporters there to cheer for him. He’s standing between two long tables filled with grocery items. Among the items are Folgers coffee, Cheerios, a bowl of fruit, packages of bacon, jugs of water, blueberries, ketchup, Ranch dressing and other condiments, loaves of bread, Uncrustables sandwiches and, for some reason, a blue and white dollhouse. Just like with his previous press conference, it’s one lie after another.
Hahaha! CNN finally got bored by Desperate Don’s lengthy, scripted speech and broke away until he starts answering questions.
