I’m no RFK supporter, but that shit was muckraking by NYT. Granted, I question his choice in using the excuse of having a worm in his brain to avoid paying alimony to his ex-wife, but it wasn’t being reported honestly and they acted like this was some new revelation that happened in the last few years rather than well over a decade ago.
RFK is not electable, but I will concede that I like three of his positions quite a bit:
Money out of politics
Housing and barring corporate ownership of single-occupancy homes
Cutting defense spending
He’s got so many issues that keep him from being a serious contender, but those three subjects are important and he stands on the right side in that regard.
Fucking say his damned name. I took 3 paragraphs of fluff to find out the asshole’s name is Chris Barcenas. Yet another of my fellow Cubans who make me embarrassed of my heritage.

When I met him, we had some absurd questions during the audience participation part. My friend asked, “suburban Baltimore is such an interesting backdrop for a movie. Both mundane and interesting. As a young black artist in America, I’d like to know what you think about lowriders.”
My other friend had him sign her maxipad wrapper. This friend also happens to be the nice of Patsy from Ab Fab.
