I find it hilarious that it didn’t work with Trump, so he went running to Kamala

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 46 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

he is probably stealing more votes from Trump than Harris, so he better stay in the race

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 15 points 4 weeks ago

From polling, it appears that you are correct. Although how committed those voters are remains to be seen. I think I recall Johnson polling at around 6% in 2016 but ended up with a little over 3%.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

well he's going for the uneducated fuckwit vote, so yeah.

wasn't necessarily true before, mind you. i think a lot of people were going to vote for him just because they didn't want to choose between the same two dudes again.

also the more he talks the more he'll drive away any voters lucky enough to have multiple neurons, and maybe steal a couple single neuron voters.

Harris and her advisers have not responded with an offer to meet or shown interest in the proposal, say people familiar with the conversations.

The Kennedy outreach, made through intermediaries, follows a meeting in Milwaukee last month between Kennedy and Republican nominee Donald Trump to discuss a similar policy role and endorsement that resulted in no agreement.

I imagine that Kennedy would like some return on kingmaking.

Dudes not qualified to wipe her ass

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe an official intern ass wiper

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Assistant to the intern.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 24 points 4 weeks ago

Maybe he could try bringing her a dead animal as an offering.

It works for shrikes and he's got some experience with it.

Secretary of Trichinella has a nice ring to it.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 26 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Secretary of Roadkill Disposal

[–] worldwidewave@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago

Ambassador to the Moon

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

can we give Trump the Secretary of Roadkill and see who wins?

thunderdome style.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Secretary of Falconry

At least he’s arguably qualified for this.

[–] marine_mustang@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

He just won’t go away. Read the room.

[–] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 17 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The guy has brain worms and rats himself out for dumping bears in parks. I'm not trying to be rude, but do you really think he can read a room? Really?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

to be fair during the bear story "the room" was roseanne barr.

Does she need her kitchen redone? That's the only cabinet job I would let him near....

[–] tektite@slrpnk.net 5 points 4 weeks ago

Really putting a lot of faith in the worm's carpentry skills here...

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Cheryl should’ve stuck with Larry! He’s funny and not crazy!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Trump might make him HHS secretary according to John Oliver. Yet another reason to keep Trump way out of the Oval Office.

[–] Bob_Robertson_IX@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

He's totally cosplaying as Connor Roy, isn't he?

[–] comador@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Special Envoy to the Round Cycle

[–] ryrybang@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Promise him Secretary of State if he stays in the race until election day, keeps on message (stupid conservative arguments), and works swing states hard. Then...just don't give him State. Or anything.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 4 weeks ago

Should've promised him a job on the filing cabinet if he stole enough trump votes.
