I use an RSS app called Feeder, and Lemmy. I find I go back to The Conversation a lot as I find it covers topics in a calm tone of voice and with a level of academic rigor that I appreciate.

Nah man sorry. You're just wrong in this case. You're missing the forest for the trees.

Communism was the conspiracy. China. Vietnam. Laos. Cuba. Yemen. Somalia. Congo. Mozambique. Afghanistan. These were the countries succumbing to the worldwide conspiracy he was talking about.

Not to forget that Kennedy increased US involvement in Vietnam to prevent the spread of communism. He sent more troops and military advisers to South Vietnam to fight Ho Chi Minh's forces. His brother also served under McCarthy as his father was a major ally and raging anti-communist.

Also regarding religion, Kennedy was a devout Catholic, which was a massive issue for him during the election, giving him good reason to try and dissuade people from considering it as an issue for him. Back then Catholics were often questioned on their loyalty, with people concerned that the president would be answerable to the pope. Crazy I know.

Hulk Hogan is almost the single reason why wrestlers don't have a union and aren't offered the same protections as other entertainers. He's truly human garbage.

Why does the executive branch have any say over the judicial branch? Shouldn't they operate independently of each other?

It's literally how he makes his money.

Make huge unbelievable claims -> Claims get circulated by media -> Media gets recirculated by investors -> Stock is pumped up and sold -> Repeat
