(20,802 posts)They had already started divorce proceedings, but she found it and hanged herself. They were still technically married. Her family had her buried near them. He had her body, the wife he had cheated on dozens of times, exhumed and moved to a Kennedy family cemetery.

(38,558 posts)It's almost unfathomable that anyone could be so cruel.
Do most people know about this? I'll admit I've completely quit watching the news since the "election."
Once again, how does trump find these people? Is there some kind of frequency that draws them to each other? I can see running into one or two, but it's like trump is a magnet for every sick, disgraceful, no-conscience predator and thief who is currently unleashed on the earth.

(6,560 posts)He has been around spewing his inansity for years. He went looking to help os get elected. First by running himself and trying to split the vote like Nadar and then by telling people to vote for him instead in some states then pandering to os for his bit of power. He may be an even worse psycho than os if that is possible. Definitely on a par. He enjoys having power in order to control and hurt people .he tortures animals too, a clear sign of a true psychosis.

(20,802 posts)They had 4 children. He was known as a serial philanderer. She was on antidepressants and had a drinking problem. HE filed for divorce and left his conquest journal where she could find it. She hanged herself. She gave the journal to her family with instructions that "should anything happen to her" the journal should be published. He gave her eulogy.
Her family sued to have her buried in Westchester, NY, but he won and buried her the Kennedy clan, other than those buried in Arlington cemetery. She was originally buried near Eunice and Sargent Shriver. He decided it was "to crowded" and had her dug up and put alone in another part of the cemetery where he "planned on" buying 50 plots. For a time, she had no headstone.
The net result was he got full custody of the children and didn't have to pay child support or spousal support. He didn't have the legal fees associated with the divorce and custody battle. He probably sued whoever was going to publish his conquest journal on the grounds that it was an invasion of privacy and defamatory.
I read that he is heavily invested in cryptocurrency. No doubt Musk and other tech bros, perhaps even Trump, are as well. Because the lure of MORE MONEY is just too appealing. I can assure you, in addition to all the other horrible decisions he makes, Trump will do anything to prop up and protect cryptocurrency, even if costs the federal government billions.

(19,149 posts)That went right by me through first time. I think my mind was so disturbed by the part about the blender that it couldn't absorb the rest!
The hawks do provide context but the blender stll seems like unnecessary brutality to me. It sounds to me like he was a big showoff, and I'm sure that both keeping hawks as pets and handling their feeding the way he did were quite attention getting.
Lawrence O'Donnell showed Caroline's video last night and did a whole segment on it, which made me appreciate the whole thing even more. I'm really glad she took that step and hope it makes an impression.

(4,936 posts)What a monster. That part was so appalling to me. And yeah, he did this to them LIVE and thought it was fun? Really? We want THIS guy in our government in charge of OUR health and welfare? We better ALL be calling our Senators right NOW.

(2,538 posts)Dang! I saw a video of Carolines son talking about bobby being unqualified for the job and asking his cousins why none of them were stepping up to tell the truth about him. His mom sure stepped up, didnt she?
patphil
(7,283 posts)Approximately 3 minutes in she says this.
Her entire statement is a powerful rejection of Bobby Kennedy Jr. for many reasons.
Any bets that the Republicans will decide not to confirm him? He's their boy, and his name gets attention, although he's the antithesis of everything his father stood for.
I'd say he gets confirmed. Trump gets what he wants.
And we get to experience the results of his horrible picks.

(83,420 posts)But my predictions have been proven wrong (damn California Psychics!) particularly with T****.
This is one sick clown.
Caroline has the insights and knowledge.
Kudos to her for coming forward with this.

(36,394 posts)If you recall Chump 1.0 ... he had a way of firing a lot of people on his White House staff, as well as several cabinet appointments. Anyone who speaks up and disagrees with Chump in a meeting will be fired. Anyone who speaks their own mind (disagrees with Chump) when talking to the media will be fired. Anyone who has their own opinions will be fired.
Bob has already shown that he is on track to being fired in a short time.

(3,951 posts)In fact it may help him. The current Republican will look at this as political and believe that if a liberal is going out of her way to disparage the guy they should confirm him just to stick it to the liberal. They will do the same thing they did with Pete Hegseth and say everyone deserves a second chance. Before they were saying they didn't owe him or Tulsi anything since they were past Dems. I don't know if Caroline helped or not.

What The Fuck? He was a democrat until he switched within the last year. Just in name only, imo.
Im actually nauseated thinking about someone showing off by doing this and those that approved of it.
NOT HUMAN!

(60,451 posts)You don't have to believe me, Google U.S. heath care rankings, we pay more, get less and our life spans are dropping, at least for the average American.
I agree that we have dedicated scientists, doctors and nurses but the system's priority is for making profit, not delivering health care to the American People.
Thanks for the thread deminks.

was as striking as the part about the sadism and violence of the blender. He was an evil Pied Piper (my term) who led them down the path of addiction and death (her words)
The guy is a psycho who revels in the destruction and death of other beings, including human beings, including other peoples kids and his own kin.
Many thanks to Caroline Kennedy and to Nicolle Wallace.

(436 posts)will be. Not that any of them are qualified or even legitimate when Trump wasn't legally allowed to run, but...this country doesn't seem to give much of a fuck about the Constitution anymore.
That said, RFK is IMO the worst pick of all, just due to the sheer amount of lives that would be lost as a direct result of his appointment.
