@georgetakei Hm. Honestly? I dont get the mockery. Mercury poisoning and the parasite both arent his fault, and they may explain his faults. Paranoia and psychosis is a pretty common symptom for neurological issues. So yeah, I mostly just feel bad for him. (Hes still an awful presidential candidate, mind)
@JdeBP@emmatonkin@rzeta0 A good point: if they're thinking long term Starmer's strategic thinkers will be targeting Reform UK (as the logical bolt-hole for ideological enemies, assuming Labour plan to occupy the centre-right ground for a generation).
If you're wondering why I haven't made any jokes about the worm that died in RFK Jr.'s brain, it's because the worm in my brain informed me that this is no laughing matter and we should be mourning the great loss of its fallen comrade.
@mattblaze on the one hand, it explains a lot 🤣 and on the other, well, it explains a lot - his mistrust of the medical establishment in the face of a chronic and mysterious condition. But do I want to see him running? No, no no no.
Donald Trump has violated the gag order placed on him during his NY trial ten times so far. If he keeps violating it, what should Judge Juan Merchan do?
@rbreich Sorry if this is a repeat -- I haven't read your replies/thread to completion.
To answer your question: Escalating incarceration. First, held by the bailifs during a break. Then, all breaks for 2, 3, and (in turn) 5 court days. Next jailed while still being allowed to attend court, for 24, 48, 72 then 168 hours.
If during that whole time, and after, he continues to violate the gag order, after a week-long stay and 2-3 more warnings, incarceration until the jury is isolated.

This is actually a late 18th century public safety law, one of the first of its kind, in fact.
It arose after a tragic incident in which a textile worker, apparently unfamiliar with geese, got into an altercation with a goose that had wandered into the factory. The goose knocked the worker into an early automatic loom. The failing loom, in turn, caused a gas explosion, injuring several workers.

TBH learning the RFK Jr. is suffering from the after-effects of mercury poisoning and being munched on by brain worms makes me feel a LOT better about him. The poor dear is obviously doing the best he can under the circumstances …
It's interesting that the US Constitution limits Presidential candidates by age (must be at least 35), and birth (must be born in the US), but does not prohibit those suffering the effects of worms munching on their brains.
@cstross@Hey_Beth@darwinwoodka THIS! And I did want to give him a chance after watching his bio piece because anti-war, anti-corporate enviro lawyer would be nice, but same - everything more I learn about him makes him almost as much of a trainwreck as trump
@dangillmor I've cancelled my New York Times subscription. I got it because I wanted to support the Press fighting against fascism (me being from Germany and all), but it does seem it's money ill spent.
Let's not forget Israel will never destroy the terrorist organisation Hamas by attacks on Gaza and/or by fully occupying it. Hamas can only be destroyed by offering the palestinians some alternative for their future, some perspective, which seems to be completely lacking until now. #israel#gaza#hamas#geopolitics@geopolitics
Israel is probably going to re-educate Biden and do what needs to be done in Rafah. They most likely already have the munitions to do it.
By the time the DNC hits Chicago it will be all over for Biden as pro-Palestine groups have been planning protests for well over a year. I expect the Chicago protests to result in widespread violence and rioting like America hasn't seen since the 60's.
Biden has decided to appease Iran, Hamas and the radical left-wing of the Democratic party.
