Anyone who missed The Daily Show last night (02.08.2017) try to catch the interview with Mass. Congressman Joe Kennedy III – man speaks a lot of sense. Future president is easy to predict when Trump is in power but this guy has real potential.

Because if there's one thing America needs right now, its another political dynasty back on the campaign trail..

Also it freaks me out how much he looks like Bobby. :(
 
Accusations of blatant lying will not bring this guy down. However they'd much rather that this narrative filled the airwaves than the real issues I'm sure. I sometimes wonder if the early morning tweets are not cleverly engineered as cunning distractions.

I've been in the Kennedy 2020 camp for a long time. Will post one of his speeches in congress re:healthcare later.

America has always been like that.
 
He's the Berserker running towards Helm's Deep, you can't stop him. Except he wants to build a wall rather than blow one up.
 
I actually get a little sad in the morning when before work I check online and he's been relatively quiet :(
Visions of The Donald bound and trussed and Kelly scratching his head, trying to come up with believeable Trumpisms on the POTUS Twitter feed. Is that the voice of S Bannon moaning faintly from behind an elegant oak wall panel...?
 
His inarticulacy always gets me. Out of all the abhorrent things that he’s done, this is the thing that really makes me despair.

Listening to him speak in incoherent, muddled, nonsensical sentences really does destroy the soul. But the thing that really emphasises this, is when you read a transcript of one of his interviews. Jesus christ, what an absolute cluster.

It just tells you everything you need to know about the man. His impulsiveness, the impromptu actions that basically categorises his presidency so far. Just the complete lack of any substance - it’s depressing.

He’s completely unable to put one word after another in a coherent way - the words just dribble out of his mouth. The absolute mouth-breathing moron.

Yep. A key reason why people hype him up is because of his surname. If Joe was not part of the Kennedy family, we'd barely hear about him.

He's only 36 and the fact people are wanting him to run in 2020 at such a young age is absurd.

It never ceases to amaze me how much the US wants its own version of the nobility.
 
You Brits have a House of Lords :lol:

The rich and powerful will always dominate politics. It's not confined to the US.

The point is that the US was built as a deliberate counter to nobility and monarchy. Americans pride themselves on their equality, yet at every turn look for these celebrity families to look up to. I wasn't trying to claim Britain was any better.

The earliest American politicians were mostly rich merchants/plantation owners, it was all hogwash.

Family connection will only get you so far though, a truly talented man can always go high. However, it helps a lot if you have both.

It was built upon white male landowners wanting to call the shots and not having to finance GB's empire building.

Had Clinton won, 4 of the last 5 presidents would have been from the same 2 families.

If Clinton was elected and served 2 full terms, the US would have been led by presidents from the same 2 families for 28 years out of the last 36 years.

No wonder people decided to say enough is enough and vote for a fresh direction.

I doubt that. The democratic party is in dire need of a figure of hope to lead them. And in these "anti-establishment"-days yes, young age is a qualification. Also, Barack Obama barely had more experience than he would have in 2020.

People want storys. He has a story, even if it's only the tragic one of his family. And since his agenda seems to be he right one, I couldn't care less which family he's from as long as he has a chance to be elected and end this mess.

Racist, misogynistic, sexist, homophobic tax dodging failed businessman who openly brags about committing sexual assault and makes fun of disabled people on stage. Definitely a better alternative to having the same family in power. You're right, no wonder they went for him.
 
He's going on holiday. Seriously.

Donald Trump once questioned the wisdom of taking vacations. “What’s the point?” he asked.

But now the president is getting ready to join the annual August exodus from this town he calls “the swamp.” Trump is due to set out Friday on his first extended vacation from Washington since the inauguration — a 17-day getaway to his private golf club in central New Jersey.

The president’s vacation could be driven, in part, by necessity. Everyone who works in the White House West Wing, including the Oval Office occupant himself, will be forced to clear out by week’s end so that the government can replace the balky, 27-year-old heating and cooling system.

But the White House hasn’t been entertaining questions about the president’s August plans.

Asked whether Trump would be leaving Washington this month, given his recent warning that Congress should stick around until they vote on health care legislation, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday: “We’ll continue to keep you guys updated on his August schedule as those details are finalized.”

Trump and his supporters like to tout his disdain for taking vacations, when the truth is he takes them constantly.

Thats the problem though yet again, we come to think bad things are ok because they're not as bad as the shitshow in the White House.
 
Trump is getting more distant from the party. But i guess this is what his base wants to see.
