So... when Harris turned him down for a possible cabinet position in exchange for an endorsement, he goes with the rapist. Got it.

Give him an ambassadorship to fucking Antarctica. Oh wait, no, he would try and eat the dead penguins and get fucking heartworm.

And nothing of value would be lost. What's the issue here?

The dead penguins and some heart worm medication that could go to someone who might be the most bizarre human to seriously seek the presidency in my lifetime, I’m an elder millennial for reference. It’s insane that not only is 2nd place in the same race and that as fucking vile, insane, and weird as Trump is, he doesn’t hold a candle to the strangeness RFK Jr dude is off his fucking rocker

I dunno. I’m sure the heart worms fill a valued ecological niche.

Exactly. If there was any doubt about these assholes being legitimate candidates, they are saying out loud that they aren't. They're in for an agenda, and they clearly do not care which side wins, or what the fallout is. Clearly just trying to get a seat at the table by any means necessary.

I'm sure Joe Rogan is crying in his Protein Shake.

Just what the GOP needs, more brain damaged garbage people.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, actually yeah. It's kinda their whole strategy at this point.

And they do have to replace the ones they killed with COVID…

"Oh shit, we're siphoning voters from the wrong side, how do we fix this?"

BrainDead and BrainWorm 2024!

That will be an amazing yard sign. All the maggots will cosplay as brain worm for next clan rally

If trump kicked Vance off the ticked and replaced him with RFK that would be something to behold!

I doubt even this election will be that crazy, though.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago

Their whole shit has been a scam. RFK is a fucking grifter. He talks about pollution then allies with the very party that opposas the EPA on the regular.

Idiots dont even realize that if they leave the race it won't fix anything for Trump it will just add to the image of Trump being a weirdo.
