I think RFK Jr. is about half nuts. More than half. I still want to listen to him because some of it isn't nuts. When he or Bill Maher talk about vaccines, you might as well look at your phone for a while. But when they talk about Big Pharma, Big Insurance, and the big medical and psychological guilds, I listen.

In my old age, I think I've finally become comfortable with the idea that people are nuts. You people anyway.

Maher would never endorse Trump. Ever. Bill Maher was among the very strongest voices telling us that Trump was going to pull a January 6th. Maher never fails to point out how destructive to democracy Trump has been.
