The fact that her name isn't prevalent enough for the headline vs. "RFK Jr. Running Mate" tells me this won't matter.

If the Kennedy campaign dropped out, Shanahan said she’d consider running for governor of California.

All 6 of them

I mean he always was supposed to be the spoiler candidate to bleed votes of the dems, but seems that lately they are, if anything bleeding votes of the reps, so their donors are probably redirecting them.

So what Cabinet position did Trump offer him? My bet is on AG.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

Natural resources. One morning someone will find Smokey in the national mall; victim to an apparent electric scooter hit and run.

John Oliver said Trump was considering making him HHS secretary.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

An anti-vaxer as HHS secretary is a public health policy nightmare.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks ago

That has happened in Florida where DeSantis installed an anti vaxxer.

Where is my shocked face? I mean, who didn't know he was a tRump operative the WHOLE time. This shit is so desperate. They are just trying everything other than you know...governing for the people.

The Trump team thought he was gonna pull more votes from the Dems. But it turns out he was mostly the same kind of crazy as the Trumpets and was at best splitting the votes evenly. Then Harris showed up and now that even vote split could doom Trump.

All the rats jumping onto the same ship. I like it.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 weeks ago

a rat vote still worth 1 vote, i would rather keep them in different ships

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 weeks ago (6 children)

I get the appeal of Trump. I don't like it and can't fathom being the kind of person who would vote for him, but I understand why people vote for him.

I don't get Kennedy at all. Is it purely Q people still thinking he is the next savior or some shit?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 weeks ago

Trump may flirt with anti-vaxx sentiment or climate denial, etc., but he can't fully support those ideas. They're very niche and he'd lose the centre if he did.

RFK Jr doesn't hold back on those issues. For conspiracy types he is closer to their beliefs than Trump.

Captain Brainworms joining forces with some Weird Felon’

Name a more cursed duo

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Man to be a worm in that brain when they're attempting to discuss policy, just think of how crazy the shit is they're unwilling to say in public. Like beyond lizard people space lasers. Plus they were both buddies with OJ and Epstein so lots of horrific details I bet.

Behind the bastards would eat for a YEAR on just one committee meeting between Trump and RFK

Not quite RFK Jr. and Trump, but some other right-wing ghouls and traitors:

Yeah, I read a similar article. Fucking ghoulish little creep. All the ~~murders~~ extrajudicial killings that little asshole and his mercs have done. Don't get me started on the Devos family. OH and the so-called journalists in that group chat as well.... they all know what they're doing and how they're feeding a cult that may lead to civil war.

But war often never inconveniences the wealthy, and when it does, somehow a peaceful resolution isn't far behind.

I think that's the genius behind the the Kursk invasion. Unfortunately it got China easier access to the Japanese sea. Once China dredges the shit out of it to fit their massive coast guard cutters of course.
