Need to be more specific. This is the part where the mischievous supernatural wish-granting entity would fulfill your request by striking RFK down with smallpox.
Maybe just shingles?

It seems that in 2017 Bobby wrote an introduction to a book called

Why are you promoting that website? It has ties to “Breitbart News Network” and MalwareBytes actively blocks it as a hostile, untrustworthy website.

First, it's the House of Representatives that impeachs members of the administration or Justices, not the Senate. The Senate only subsequently holds a trial and convicts (or not) the person who has been impeached.
Second, Democrats in the house already today are drawing up articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem for the debacle of ICE thugs terrorizing communities and murdering people. There's no reason they can't do the same for RFK. They won't have the votes to pass these articles right now, but would if they win the midterm elections. There's no reason not to get the ball rolling now and start making the case against RFK (except maybe they think it's not politically popular enough).
If eventually the Democrats did impeach RFK, the Senate would be required to hold a trial. That might be worth it to draw attention to what he's doing, regardless of the outcome. You can't win a battle you're not fighting.

Some are so fiercely myopic that they can only barely see the end of their own nose. Sociopaths, psychopaths, and malignant narcissists are like that. And we have truly hit the trifecta in the WH.

This is so depressing - I personally think RFK, Jr. has done more long-term damage to the United States than even Miller or Noem. The complete dismantling of what was one of humanity's greatest resources is something that won't be repairable for decades, almost definitely not in my lifetime.
I cannot put into polite (or near-polite) language my anger and disgust at what the Republican Party has managed to do in the 12 years Trump has been their Lord and Master.

No riots, that just brings overwhelming force.

Actually didn't know of either of those details. Regardless, what I do know is that it has worked perfectly fine each and every time I wish to read information that's been paywalled. I've not been asked to create an account or share any information, nor am I prompted to install anything or click on any suspicious link.

Not just the US unfortunately, nut job across multiple countries want to follow in the name of personal freedom.
Here in Australia some of the liberals (mix of liberals, US style conservatives, Thatcherites ) especially in Queensland (Australian equivalent of Texas)have started to roll back fluoridation by leaving it up to local councils and want to reduce vaccination even though a majority of the population doesn't want that.
The floor of the main/only vaccine warehouse in Queensland start to collapse in december but nothing has been done yet

Can a medical body revoke licenses of quack physicians that are cooperating publicly with Kennedy Jr.?
Politically it is a volcanic potato so there may not be the will to do so.

Because smallpox has been eradicated, and we do not want to bring it back. With a death rate of 30% (might be lower now with the improved medical care we have, but even so), unleashing an epidemic of smallpox would be devastating; we haven't routinely vaccinated against it since the 1980s. That means that anybody aged below 46 (or so) would be vulnerable to the disease - a huge percentage of the world population.
I mean, hell, I'm fifty now. My parents insisted on my getting the smallpox vaccination; if they hadn't insisted, I wouldn't have been vaccinated. I'm also not sure just how long the immunity from the vaccination lasts, so there's that risk as well.
The satisfaction of seeing RFK jr and his ilk suffer from one of the worst diseases known to mankind would not be worth that price.

Why?
They are literally doing what they said they would in the election campaign. They said they were going to do all the sheet they are doing now. They are living up to their promisses. And you Americans voted for this. The average American wanted all of ... ... this. ** points finger in every directions **
If you dont want crazy ... dont vote for crazy.
And if you did anyway, and don't like how it turned out ... vote more intelligently next time.

That is simply not true. Nobody knows who is behind archive.today. As for it being blocked, that doesn't surprise me, as it enables bypassing pay walls, which can be copyright infringement and thus illegal.
There was an article here on Ars Technica a few months back about the FBI trying to find out the owners of the site, probably because of copyright infringement.

The objective is to destroy all organizations, institutions and infrastructure, including the UN, WHO and NATO, burn it to the ground, so that from its ashes the radical right can build a white supremacy dictatorship. Their plans have been known for years but no one believed they would succeed. It's not incompetence, RFK Jr. isn't crazy, this is all intentional.

Can we also look up “loss of herd immunity“ or “r-factor”?
With an r-factor of 1 the number of infections every year stays constant. If you had 100 measles cases this year, you would have 100 next year, the year after and so on.
Looking at the measles numbers, thr r-factor is much greater than 1 in some areas with lots of anti-vaxxers. Which means over ten years the numbers will become bad. Not “OMG 2000 cases” bad but “all the neighbours kids are sick” bad.
And that is when vaccines switch from giving herd immunity (gone) to protecting individuals. Because you will get measles if you are unvaccinated, or quite unlucky.

Although I have a morbid fascination/ terror in watching the current American government harm itself and its citizens in so many ways, (and almost as an afterthought the rest of us in the free world) I never understood why even Trump appointed RFK jr. to this post. Did he have dirt on Trump? Was it just that he was a symbol of anti-wokeness and added anti big government brownie points? I suppose looking for rational behaviour from this administration is really just a waste of time.

I mostly avoid RFK Jr. articles lately, but this is REALLY bad. I am not sure if there is anything approaching a replacement to this, but I really hope universities or state governments can form some kind of coalition as I know they track it at the state level. Again, I think I avoid these because I already could tell RFK was a eugenicist, albeit a very stupid one, and so nothing he has done this past year surprised me.
I predict one of the next things he will do is make insurance stop covering vaccines altogether or make expensive even with insurance somehow. Anyway, my conclusion last time I commented is the same. There is nothing more to learn or to glean from this man, only send him to The Hague from crimes against humanity. Life in prison is the only thing he deserves.

Not sure why you got downvoted; I’m in the exact same age bracket and I’ve had the exact same thoughts. These guys — and their current supporters — aren’t going to change, so Yes, a lot of innocents will go down with them, but when has that ever stopped fanatics, fools and the greedy? In the big picture, you are 100% right.

RFQuack relisted as a 3rd party candidate after the democrats shunned him. He was taking more votes from drump than from Biden (and then Harris).
Drump promised him the job if he dropped out of the election and endorsed him. And here we are.

Again, for the hard of comprehending, infectious diseases don't check your voter registration before infecting you. Personally, I seriously object to throwing innocents into a pyre just to score political points. That's just ghoulish and you might want to bring your empathy to a licensed technician to have it checked.

Interesting. An archive site with enemies is probably one of the better archive sites, for some things anyway.
As somebody else posted, it's been around for years - it was previously called archive.is - and I've never had any issues with it either.
Russia and China block it, if anyone finds that reassuring.

It took two citizens getting shot on video for even the start of some changes to ICE tactics (the extent of which is still unknown and may be insufficient).
We need a publicity campaign for the terrible deaths this will cause before they start occurring en masse. Can we dig up old tapes and get the effects in the public view? Maybe add the soundtrack of blood curdling screams from some recent videos.

It's unfortunate that RFK jr. is exceptionally articulate because it obscures the fact that he has brain damage from the worm and is not the person he used to be. He still comes across as being intelligent but is incapable of comprehending information or weighing evidence. He attacks apparent adversaries and defends his beliefs and actions instinctively but can't actually think except in the most rudimentary way. This isn't sarcasm, BTW. His mind is toast and the present situation of him having the power that he has is clearly a catastrophe.

I agree we should not accept innocent casualties as a way to drive change. However, It’s hard to have any empathy when I see people displaying empathy getting 10 bullets into the back of their head. People are frustrated, maybe cut them a little…slack.

His crusade against life-saving medicine before the alleged brain worm incident, which took place in 2010. https://theconversation.com/did-a-worm-really-eat-part-of-robert-f-kennedy-jr-s-brain-229696
By contrast, he's been on this fixation for more than two decades.

He had this blood on his hands regardless of what was squirming around in his head.
