Harris has rebuffed the outreach, while Kennedy has also had conversations with Republican nominee Donald Trump about a role in his administration.

    This guy just seems desperate to get into the inner circle of the White House. He must have some kind of serious plan or motive to be so desperate.

      I recently listened to the 4-part Behind the Bastards analysis of RFK Jr.

      Not surprised that the man is desperate to get to the WH, considering that he was groomed more than any of his siblings into becoming the next JFK.

        Groomed to become the next JFK, but they forgot the charisma, the diplomatic aptititude, the attractiveness, and the intelligence entirely…

          They definitely forgot the diplomatic attitude and wisdom.

          Whether they forgot attractiveness depends on how you look at that. Apparently he was a handsome guy and went on cool nature expeditions and shit as a kid…on the other hand he used to hang out around rotting animal carcasses all the damn time and loved eating rotten meat so in a more general sense, yeah, super unattractive.

          I think the bigger problem is a had a fucked up childhood where he got literally whatever he wanted cuz he had infinite fuck-you money/status, plus the Kennedy curse taking his super-famous uncle and father and otherwise scarring him for the rest of his life, plus taking a LOT of drugs, equals…the guy never had a chance.

            Thata a good point on his upbringing. The Kennedy family shoes are big ones to fill. He might be one of the legitimate victims of the so-called “affluenza”.

    Dropping out and endorsing your opponent is a leading cause of autism.

    The interior department might need help with bear carcasses and he proved he can do that at the amateur level, at least.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
