Mary Richardson—the mother of four of RFK Jr.'s six children—committed suicide in 2012 after finding RFK Jr’s diary documenting his affairs with 37 different women.

And that isn’t close to the worst thing he’s done
No one is sneering at Kennedy’s sexual behavior. We all just assume that’s a thing men get to do! but when women do it, they are just the most evil bitches in the world who are ruining the workplace - nay, the entire country

And just like that he tries to wash his hands of the children’s deaths he helped enable.

RFK being grossly unfit for the position wasn’t a close call! It was all out in the open!

Gotta give Cotton credit for consistency
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), to reporters, after viewing video footage of the U.S. strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean on Sept. 2:

"Righteous strikes." "Entirely lawful."

A plea to Democrats: I am very likely going to vote for the Democratic nominee for president in 2028, but if it's Gavin Newsom, I'm staying home. Please nominate accordingly.

1. This is not how anyone talks to an O-10.

2. This is certainly not how a 40 year-old ex-O-4 talks to an O-10.

3. This is the most dumbshit company grade officer crap imaginable. No competent commander tells a senior officer not to ask questions.

4. He may as well have called Holsey "boy."

To Trump, if you're not committing white collar crime you are a sucker.
NEW: The commutation Trump issued to David Gentile wipes away all further fines & restitution.

Gentile had been sentenced to 7 years for his role in a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of investors.

Prosecutors had been seeking $15.5M in forfeiture.

They should just make the outfield bigger. More territory to cover would serve a similar effect.
This is a good dive into something we've been talking about for a while and which many people refuse to admit:

fielders are too good, low BA is not just hitters wanting launch angle or whatever

More hits? Make it harder on fielders.

FYI Trump isn't insulting JD Vance. He's insulting Biden and Harris clumsily.
December 2, 2025 at 8:36 PM
He's calling Biden his man, not Vance.
Trump on Tim Walz: "I think the man is a grossly incompetent man. I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in the debate. I was saying, 'Who's more incompetent, that man or my man?' I had a man and he had a man. They were both incompetent."

Random NFL thought: even though the analytics say go for two earlier to know how many scores you need when you're trailing, my suspicion is that in a back and forth game, your odds of converting the two-point conversion increase as the defense gets more fatigued.
