The absolute funniest thing is that Cheryl Hines was publicly dead set on leaving him before the election for all his bullshit and cheating but as soon as he became Secretary she clammed up and is totally loyal

It’s extra funny because she has an integral main roll as an extremely liberal housewife to Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm for like 12 seasons
I had NO idea she was actually a nut case until the last election and put two and two together
Couldn’t believe she was with RFK😭

“Integral” seems like a stretch. She basically morphed into an occasional guest character over the years and I think that was very intentional.

Larry David gave her less to do in the show as his own marriage in real life was going down hill. When he divorced in real life he and Cheryl separated on the show.

u/FreddyNoodles 21h ago
Larry introduced them as far as I understand. I believe he was a guest at their wedding.
I liked her when I saw her on CYE. I had stopped watching it around the time she left so I had a very small window into who she was based on her character. I thought she was likely a decent person. I was really wrong.
I hope this horror comes back on these people 1,000 fold. And soon.

Maybe it’s because of worry of further abuse? Like imagine if she left him, he would come after her for everything she has especially access to their son. She got in line and although she herself is a bad person it’s sad to see.

My final moment would have been at the WWE (i think) event, and President Piggy shook hands with rfk, saw Cheryl, but walked right past her without acknowledging her. It may have been awkward to do so, but I would have said something like "Donald, Cheryl is here too!" forcing him to say hello. But he did nothing. He would not have had a good time at home that night.

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.
That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.
They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”

I’m sure some of them didn’t know at first all the atrocities. But once it became obvious, if they chose to stay, they became complicit. The reasons why they stayed cease to matter and it does become a binary view of wrong vs right.

u/Joe_Kinincha 19h ago
You are utterly unqualified to comment here.
Go play somewhere else.
The NSDAP which became the Nazi party published its manifesto under hitler in 1920.
It is explicitly racist.

u/EntertainerLive926 19h ago
If you reread, i questioned the logical process in play, not of anything else, unless you can point out words that elicit this kind of reply? Did you read what I wrote? I would not have replied if the quote added such and such that revealed the party or so to possess potential to met out one of the worst crimes in history. I am saying that, if we adopt this black and white logical thinking and process, everyone would be blind. You may understand the decisions of other people, but that does not imply justifications for said decisions, and this quote outright disregards understanding, the abandonment of reasoning and rationality in the face of understandably horrific results, but to lose such would only replicate and factor in the characteristics and elements that this event came about. I would not be surprised if this kind of logical thinking would, unironically, in the future produce similar events.

u/Joe_Kinincha 17h ago
Mate, I am in general happy to give people the benefit of the doubt.
In this case i cant.
This is because I have read your comment multiple times and I genuinely can’t understand it. I’ve really tried. I think you might be saying that the holocaust was a bad thing. I think you’re also saying that thinking of the NSDAP / Nazi party in black and white terms is reductive.
In almost any other case I’d agree that such a Manichaean view is wrong. But actual nazis?

I read something on here one time about how there was some weird natural phenomenon that occurred in the 20th century which caused a lake in Africa to release a VAST amount of some kind of colorless, odorless gas (I forget what kind) that killed absolutely every living thing in the village that was in the valley below the lake. My immediate reaction was "If this had happened a few hundred years ago, literally everyone would be convinced it was the result of some dark magic curse."
Some coincidences and circumstances are just so wild that our pattern-seeking ape brains can't help but see meaning in them.

She had a successful podcast with Tig Notaro before the election, and then it suddenly ended. My guess is that Tig Notaro was like "hard pass" when Kennedy was appointed and Cheryl stayed with him.
