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

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.

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?

Kennedy has been a Democrat most of his life. He helped Obama & supported Hillary. He’s definitely done some weird things, but most Democrats would have called him an ally up until his presidential run. Trump has always been a con man. If you get why people support Trump more than why they’d support Kennedy, then I’d say that says more about you than him.

Bullshit. He was vocally antivax. People who didn’t know that before sure found out during COVID.

Also, people consider someone less of an ally when they find out about things like the dead bear and the brain worms.

He has a body count. He used his celebrity to get the MMR vax paused in Samoa and kids died from a measles outbreak. It turned out the kids who’d died after getting vaxxed were poisoned by poorly-prepared vaxes rather than the vax itself. He takes no responsibility for this.

Weird… why did the Biden campaign enlist Robert De Niro to help with events? Does that mean Biden was antivax, and that Kamala said she loves an antivaxer during the first day of the DNC convention?

Also… leaving a dead bear that someone hit with their vehicle in a park is messed up, but sending weapons to a country that has killed 30k+ women & children is normal?

Last, you do realize brain worms is like a serious medical condition? Like… should Democrats now platform on being disabled or a paraplegic disbars them from being an ally?

Since he went all in on antivax and conspiracy stuff, Dems have known he’s a weird/crazy dude. Which is a damn shame, as pre-brain worms, he was a kick-ass environmental lawyer. Dude is clearly not all there and hasn’t been for decades.

He attended the vaccination safety events Robert De Niro… who the Biden campaign then enlisted. I’m not saying he’s right by any means. I think it is fine to question vaccine safety, especially when big pharma has so much influence in politics, but obviously he’s made statements that were far too extreme without supporting medical evidence.

Regardless… Christians believing in make believe stuff that would normally be considered mental illness is as conspiracy-based to me as RFK Jr, so by all means if you think that saying crazy shit means you can never be an ally… then I guess you’ve never ran for state government.

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.

It’s about hurting the people you want to be hurt: sluts, illegals (but only from countries you don’t like), black people, liberals, gays, etc. There is so much hatred and fear and animosity built up over years of listening to Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, and he is the person voicing all their pent up emotions. He makes it OK to be the assholes they have not felt comfortable being before.

It’s not necessarily that he is their ideal person (though for some people a giant blowhard asshole is), it’s that he furthers their agenda. He packs the courts, lowers taxes, punishes the correct people, fights communism.

I get why Kamala wouldn’t want him in the administration, but did she even consider it? Like… his housing policy wasn’t bad. Let’s say he brought 3% more voters. That could have been significant. 3% could definitely help beat Kamala with a race this close. I don’t like the guy… and honestly, despite it not being his fault I just can’t stand listening to him speak. I’m wondering now if Trump is actually going to kick JD to the curb.

Think more down the line. Having a 3% middle man would be rather annoying, because whatever the other parties come up with needs to be approved by the 3% over and over, to make a majority, making the 3% the most powerful position.

3% is basically the lizardman constant. You can’t assume that voters will so readily jump from one candidate to the other.

3% is significant. He had like 8 or 9% prior to Biden dropping out. I know he can’t sway all his voters and so that is why I suggested maybe 3%.

I guess… its a possibility, but very unlikely that Democrats would vote for Trump cause she was having conversations with him. Democrats talk to Republicans all the time and don’t lose votes. Sometimes you have to even work with people you don’t agree with… Imagine that.

They are nakedly admitting that they will drop out because they are inexplicably pulling more GOP votes than DNC votes.

There’s two options that we’re looking at,” she said. “One is staying in, forming that new party; but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump. We draw, somehow, more votes from Trump.

“Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump; and we walk away from that and we explain to our base why we’re making this decision… Not an easy decision.”

The fact that they were very clearly running to spoil Dems is a good reason not to offer them powerful positions in a Harris admin.
