Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s brags to friends that star reporter Olivia Nuzzi had sent him intimate photos was what led the scandal to explode into the open, the Daily Beast can reveal. The 70-year-old scion’s boasts became known to the 31-year-old New York magazine correspondent’s boss—who confronted her over the photos.

Nuzzi repeatedly denied an affair to David Haskell, New York’s editor in chief, but eventually came clean. Nuzzi has now been suspended, and is being investigated over her journalistic ethics by an outside party.

Puck News reported Friday night that Nuzzi allegedly sent “demure” nudes of herself to RFK Jr. during their “sexting” affair.

A shitty republican politician getting caught doing things he shouldn't? Say it ain't so.

[–] afk_strats@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Nooo. RFK is an anti-establishment old hat little "d" Democrat like JFK!!! He's a Kennedy! Don't look at the .ml in my username instance! \s

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Apparently his “d” was big enough for Nuzzi. ba dum tiss 🥁

I’ll see myself out.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Encore!
Encore!

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago (2 children)

RFK Jr's wife, the wife from curb your enthusiasm, sucks as well. She's stayed on through all his insane bullshit. Will be especially telling if this is what gets her to finally leave or speak against him

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Learning that she's married to him was a shock. She must be batshit.

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ngl I was shocked too. It’s just a reminder that an actor’s job is acting

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Exactly. You don't know who any actor is just because you've watched them in productions.

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

She left Larry when he got too ridiculous. Let's see it happen irl

[–] grue@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The 70-year-old scion

If that's how you're getting described in your old age you've really done fuck-all of worth in your life.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

I didn't even know he existed until the last year or two.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well he is a Kennedy.

The only reason they still make normal-people headlines is because one of them made president and then got his brains tipped out into the back of a car.

Without that, they'd undoubtedly just still be lurking richly in the background, pulling the odd string like some sort of underground eldritch abomination.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

We need a countdown since the last crazy ass RFK scandal

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

Just keep it at 0 honestly

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Part of me will miss the crazy that he brings, but I felt that way about trump in 2016 until he actually somehow won

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I bet Cheryl is already starting divorce proceedings, if the Trump bullshit wasn't already the kicker.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 49 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She's married to a Kennedy. She is not expecting fidelity.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago (4 children)

She might be expecting discretion though. He’s also hurting her career.

[–] psvrh@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 month ago

Discretion? From the whale carcass anti-vax guy?

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She did that when she married him

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Didn't realize they were married. Glad she basically disappeared from Curb.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The worst part is Larry introduced them

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Would make for a great episode.

probably your adblocker or something localized. i had to temp unblock javascript from tiktok. just RFK Jr on a hot mic complaining his speech was upside down, with the Curb music in the bg.

[–] Lenny@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago

what career? Curb is over

[–] Fester@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

It’s all I can think of whenever someone mentions their marriage

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What is wrong with these women lol

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Are the brain worms communicable?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 13 points 1 month ago

There's cash in them there wrinkle crevices.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Remember they are just friends. /s

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

An odd dude he is.

[–] draughtcyclist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I feel like anyone surprised by this isn't familiar with the Kennedy family history.
