• SPECIAL COMMENT: Robert F. Kennedy Junior who may turn out to be the spoiler who throws the election to Trump says under oath that his cognitive problems and short term and longer term memory loss from a worm that ate his brain and then died.

Yes, but as the urban legend goes, did it lay eggs before it died?

(This also gives me a chance to quote one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs, “Hey You”: “and the worms ate into his brain.”)

• On the other OTHER hand, too early to tell if it’s an outlier or the start of the new wave, but swing state poll: Wisconsin, Quinnipiac, Registered voters: Biden 50 Trump 44. Three-way: Biden 40 Trump 39 Kennedy and his Worm, 12.
• Nevertheless. I’m not confident we can stave off fascism in this country because: worms in Kennedy’s brain. AND Trump’s trial in Florida has been delayed until the twelfth of never by an unqualified judge HE appointed and his trial in Georgia has been delayed indefinitely — probably into next year — because the appeals court says it WILL listen to Trump’s appeal of the ruling that the district attorney didn’t have a financial conflict of interest just because she hired her boyfriend to work on the case (because guess what: there IS a deep state and among its constituent parts are the legal system and partisan judges and the Supreme Court and an Attorney General who will go to his grave believing the people exist to serve laws rather than laws existing to serve the people. Also, because OBAMA’s most public adviser criticized all the sex talk in the Stormy Daniels testimony and, oh by the way, WORMS IN KENNEDY’S BRAIN.

• “We must recognize the full human equality of all of our people before God, before the law, and in the councils of government. We must do this, not because it is economically advantageous, although it is; not because the laws of God command it, although they do; not because people in other lands wish it so. We must do it for the single and fundamental reason that it is the right thing to do.” — RFK, 1966.
• “A worm got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died. I have cognitive problems, clearly. I have short-term memory loss, and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me.” — RFK, Jr, 2012.

• When Kennedy said I was his HERO — I KNEW something was wrong.
• MEANWHILE the man who called out The New York Times for its vengeful coverage of Biden answers the Editor-in-Chief’s straw man response that the paper won’t become part of the Biden campaign. “In general, and this is a complaint I have had about the New York Times that is two decades old — I wish they would take good faith criticism from the left with as much seriousness as they take BAD faith criticism from the right,” says Dan Pfeiffer.

• THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Lobbyist Jim Courtovich (if you’re going to make a threat by quoting ’The Godfather’ (“we are going to the mattress” [sic]) you better make sure you get the quote right), Speaker Mike Johnson (you know “intuitively” that non-citizens are voting? Is that like I know “intuitively” that there must have been fraud in your election? No facts, just a Spidey Sense?), and Congressman Mike Collins (You think last week’s racism-at-Ole-Miss tweet was disqualifying? Wait’ll you see this week’s joke about the JFK and RFK assassinations).

• THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Trump mocked Lawrence O’Donnell after Tuesday’s court session, so it’s probably time for me to mock him.

Keith, Keith, Keith … It is ALWAYS time to mock Trump.

• The day they finally incarcerate Joe Scarborough, O’Donnell will become the least sincere person on MSNBC. Ever seen the pilot of the old HBO show “The Newsroom”? Where the back-up tries to steal the show from the guy he’s filling in for? Guess who that’s actually about?

Good morning, good afternoon, good night, and good luck.

And tomorrow, an announcement from Progoland.
