I’ve been watching The Real Debate on X with RFK Jr live from LA; John Stossel is the moderator. As of my posting this comment 4M others are watching it live-streamed as well. It is time delayed to pause so that RFK can answer the same questions posed on CNN. Kennedy is helping demolish Biden, as Biden is imploding.

Anyone catch Biden press his right ear, lean in to that press, then jot down notes? We saw it!

I saw him touch his ear .. and his deer-in-headlights pathetic look almost the whole time ... Yes, The Real Debate at least has Kennedy's insightful comments in between the ugh ...

HOW can he occasionally make sense yet be catatonic? WHAT do they give him?

Some of that drunken deer in the headlights look, I think, comes from the excessive plastic surgery he’s had on his face. His skin is too tight!

Alex Jones says he got many liters of baby blood. Not a joke (as Biden might say). See mainstream articles such as:

https://www.businessinsider.com/ways-rich-invest-in-living-forever-young-blood-cryonics-2019-8?op=1

But Biden was always dim, always a liar, always an aggrandizer, always a plagiarist, always bribed (Senator from Mastercard?), long before the dementia. To paraphrase Michael Savage, Bidenism (cause Biden and his party are authoritarians, not liberals) is a mental disorder.

Frightening times when total disregard for the state of world affairs under this traitorous fake president is disregarded in the lefts thirst to retain control and power. Evil. God help this country. Only Trump has the courage.

Next up, Trump’s VP pick.

Meanwhile Mediaite is calling for Biden to be replaced. And that political site is as left as can be found.

Do you think that the Dems purposely scheduled this “debate” so early in the season, well before the convention, to give them time to replace him if he did poorly? Many Republicans have been suggesting this all along.

I agree. And I think that there is a good chance that RFK is invited to be the VP for Obama. More “hopium” and “heal the nation” while the globalist agenda advances.

I don't think they can let Kennedy back in with the Dems at this point, but despite statements he and Trump have both made, I think he could serve in a Trump admin.

Perhaps ... but he doesn't have the power. If the President did, Trump would have continued in office. The power is under the control of those behind the curtain.

I saw Biden touching his ear. However, do you think he would be able to comprehend and process any instructions being given to him that way? If this were the case, he might have blurted out an instruction, you know, like he does when he’s reading a teleprompter.

I’m inclined to think they spent those 10 days preparing him to use that tech as they were feeding him lines, as much as they were rehearsing answers for the moderator’s questions.

Were the "moderators" perhaps there for Biden's practice sessions? Can't be too thorough in your preparations. But really, I think he was meant to fail in order to bring on his replacement; they should have kept Frau Dr. Jill away at the end and let him fall down the 5" steps (scratch that, they can't risk Kamala).

I think Biden's "handlers" have, for a long time now, been telling him what to say through that little ear device. I don't think this tech is new to him.

By doing so, RFK Jr. is making himself more of a spoiler for Trump than Biden.

Expand full comment

Not really. Trump supporters know that RFK, Jr. is and always has been a liberal. He's for gun control and buys into the whole "climate emergency" boondoggle. His policies are so far afield of middle America that the only people he appeals to are others from his circle. He just isn't tough where it counts.

Expand full comment

I can't disagree with the first part of your assessment of RFKJ. However, if he were willing, he might fit in a Trump administration in some very worthwhile role. Kennedy's stance on vaccines is better than Trump's has been, and liberal or not, he exhibits reason on a number of important topics. Maybe he would be willing to help fix this wreck of a country in some capacity within the Dept. of Justice or HHS?

Kennedy isn't part of the swamp culture and he isn't completely lacking in reason. And I would be much more inclined to trust him to be loyal to Trump, if he did accept a position than most of the loathsome underlings in the last Trump administration.

Considering the apparent lack of people with a degree of integrity, in politics, RFKJ might be worth considering for a specific job suited to his expertise. He's done pretty well going after some bad guys in court.

Peace!

He's not as liberal as he once was. In many ways, he is more conservative than Trump was. This was a great comparison between him and Trump: https://x.com/1765sol/status/1758211421928878585

Agreed. I've fallen into the bad habit of using "liberal" in negative terms too often. I've heard it said and parroted that: "JFK was a 'liberal' but he wouldn't be permitted in today's democrat party because he would be too conservative for them." I suppose that's fairly accurate (?). As far as I can tell RFKJ is a lot closer to what a mainstream democrat was in the 60s than what a mainstream democrat is in 2024.

For example: I was around when the democrats held the majority in the senate for what seemed like forever, back in the 60s and 70s. Mike Mansfield was majority leader for a long time. He wasn't my favorite politician but unlike the senate majority leader now, he was an American and a human.

Absolutely not. Bobby has said many times that he will not take away anyone's guns AND he does not buy into the " climate emergency" programs the Biden administration are putting forth that do nothing to help the planet, only enrich big corporations. He is a true environmentalist, has been for 40+ years. Advocates for regenerative farming and sues polluters to clean up the toxic mess they cause in communities.

I disagree. Those who formerly supported Trump are flocking to RFK as someone who "puts his money where his mouth is". Trump talks. Kennedy does something (lots of legal action to take to task the offenders)!

Kennedy isn't a "liberal" (not in the negative usage of the term liberal).

Don’t forget that RFK Jr, even recently, opined that elective abortions should be available throughout one’s entire pregnancy, through the 9th month.

Expand full comment

He has clarified that. He believes in bodily autonomy, and did not think that women actually got abortions in the third trimester. He was educated on that, and has changed his position to say that once the baby reaches viability, the government does have an interest in protecting it. He said that several times during the debate last night. BTW, he is not the only candidate to change his position; Trump was pro-choice till he ran for President. And said that FL's 6 week abortion ban was "a terrible thing".

Expand full comment

Hard to imagine that RFK Jr didn’t know that women were getting 3rd trimester abortions. I’m glad he was “educated on that.” I think his advisers convinced him that the radical idea that leftists had to allow abortion through the 9th month might not go over well with half the population.

Expand full comment

Exactly. How does a grown man, lawyer and life-long politician not know anything statistically about abortion, for one thing, and ever ever ever go along with the idea that aborting a baby after the fourth or fifth month is killing a child that would otherwise be viable? Answer: He knew and always knew. The guy has a long history of drug use and running around on his former wife who eventually killed herself out of depression over the whole, sordid affair. I am empathetic to the Kennedy family's tragedies but that only goes so far.

If I were Trump I would appoint him as special prosecutor to go after everyone in big pharma, the FDA and the CDC. If they set the position up correctly it could outlast the Trump presidency. I would also try to find a way to counter-act the mainstream media propaganda by overhauling the FCC and rolling back various Reagan and Obama policies that made the use of propaganda and unequal candidate time possible. Kennedy could be of great use in all of this.

Expand full comment

He explained it quite openly. He had thought that it was a very rare thing done to save the life of the mother. I once had to research that for a class and was shocked to find out the majority of late term abortions are performed on teens who had "been in denial" about their pregnancy. I'm not at all surprised that he didn't know that; I give him credit for listening to experts and changing his position instead of stubbornly adhering to the leftwing ideology on abortion.

Expand full comment

Tell this empty rhetoric to a live baby inside the womb! He is trying to intellectualize what surpasses human understanding: The unalienable gift of creation.

Expand full comment

He said "no abortions after viability". He said that's pretty standard in the world. It is. Abortions in the first trimester are medically straightforward in most regards, but the fetus grows rapidly between 12 & 16 weeks, and is viable outside the womb by 26 weeks.

First trimester abortions should be facilitated after counseling, and not delayed.

It just gets worse and worse.

I always supported a woman's right to choose, but I could never do an abortion, myself. It feels deeply wrong to me.

Agree. During RFK’s time on his debate stage he outright refuted several Biden claims on various topics, calling out dishonesty & lies multiple times, while simultaneously at other times stated “I agree with President Trump….”

RFK definitely differs on topics with President Trump, but in our home, we clearly heard Biden lose on the CNN stage and on the X stage.

All of it is such a sham. We all know who pulls the puppet strings for Biden. He and his morally devoid family have repeatedly sold our country out to the highest bidder for their own personal gain. They want us to feel ashamed for being rightfully angry at an old, pathetic, narcissistic, abusive man who has willfully participated in attempting to destroy our country. He may not be lucid now, but that has not always been the case. Shame on Biden, his family, his cabinet, and all of the people behind the scenes pulling the strings. We dishonor every life that has been given for our freedoms when we alliow them to emotionally manipulate us into feeling sorry for a man who has participated in causing so much damage to our country and to our liberty.

Right on!

My God commands that I love my fellow man, but he does not command that I like my fellow man, and He most certainly requires that I hate sin.

I've been praying for our nations leadership, and my prayers go something like this:

Almighty God, please inspire the corrupt people leading this nation to destruction, to have an awakening to their wickedness. Please cause them to recognize their evil and repent of their sinful ways by openly acknowledging and admitting to their crimes against humanity, and accepting the punishment they are due, according to our laws. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Hi John I’m from UK 63 yrs ago I prayed along similar lines even tho at the time I was an atheist and of course did not know the Creator at all But after going through WW2 here I had many questions Eg why did so-called Christians in England kill their “brothers in Christ “ in Germany ..and vice-versa of course PLUS the leaders of the “Christian” religions actually blessing the weapons of war used by both sides!!! They were ALL doing the opposite of what the founder of Christianity taught! (No wonder I was an atheist …the sheer hypocrisy of what I now know is FALSE Christianity disgusted me ) However, the Creator of this vast universe must have heard this speck of dust calling for answers ..I now realise He has a timeline…soon He will act against ALL sinful governments , ALL false religious teachers and the like who have preferred to worship the invisible god of this system of things and his earthly narcissistic puppets here on earth

Please examine, as I did with an unprejudiced heart and mind, the evidence of hope for this earth It can be found on jw.org Your prayers will be answered John along with many other sincere humble ones searching for answers that make sense

Thank you for the kind reply, Ms. Smith! I agree that we are approaching the "end of the age" as described by Christ in Matthew Chapter 24.

I studied with the Jehovah's Witnesses in the 1970's and was aligned with them for a brief period. I was disfellowshipped shortly after I left my local congregation. Based on that, I would presume I will never hear from you again. Regardless, I wish you the absolute best and I pray YHWH will shower you with blessings as He has me.

Kindest Regards,

John

Donald Trump is not the lesser of two evils, he is the only hope our country has to remain a free democratic nation and follow its constitution. Both parties are corrupted with deep state players to socialize and neutralize are existence. We need to stop the reset, the Schwabs, Gates, Soros. We need MAGA, Trump has given up his life to make it happen! He has the brains, strength and foresight to make us great under God with liberty and justice for all.

Mike-

45 represents the MAGA POPULIST MOVEMENT, not the RINO CLASS. DJT is using the R as the vehicle for the election.

Should there be an election in November and should there not be election interference by the Donkies, 45 will need to avoid the plague of RINO selections for key positions as he did in his first term .

It is elder abuse to keep that man in office, much less run him again. I think the Dems let him dangle in the wind on purpose so they would have an excuse to dump him!

https://rumble.com/v545lnn-the-real-debate.html is still going on and RFK is still doing really well in giving answers by delaying CNN.

Seems clear to me that RFK was excluded from the stage not because he's only at 11% or so, but because his share would dramatically rise if he were on stage with them, answering much better than either one.

I tried to listen to it, as I was driving home. Alas, I had to turn it off after 10 minutes. It made me cringe. President Biden sounded weak, short of breath, and not confident. I actually felt sorry for him—-that they would push him out there in his condition. The family should be ashamed!
