He's literally describing a spoiler campaign, calling it as such, then tripling down on how it wasn't.

He also rants about how the mainstream media wouldn't give him a platform because of the things he says. He apparently didn't understand that saying unpopular things removes you from the popular media, and expected them to keep airing his crazy bullshit.

I’m good, thanks

His father would be so ashamed of him right now. Fawning over a wannabe dictator and fascist who wants to disenfranchise voters and stomp on civil rights. RFK was no saint. But the kind of stuff Jr is supporting, and the candidate he is now endorsing, do not align with Sr's work.

RFK Jr's grandfather on the other hand... He would be proud.

NBC Nightly News tonight called the announcement a “major shakeup.” 😂

Reminded me why I normally don’t watch the evening news.

Editorialized headline. Actual headline is "Ahead of speech, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says in a Pennsylvania court filing that he’s endorsing Trump"

Please fix it so I don't have to remove it.

You just want me to remove the text?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Text is fine, just fix the headline.

Johnny Walker? Jack Daniels?

It's the next brain worm desperately trying to escape.

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

A single dare? That's at least double dog dare before I even consider it. I'd rather lick frozen pole.

Really awkward Thanksgiving gathering, I imagine.

RFK Jr always looks like the superhero movie character that the bad guy just injected with the evil potion that is starting to metamorph him into some kind of reptilian cockroach creature. He looks so gross all the time, like this own physiology is disgusted by his psyche and slowly eating itself alive from the inside out to spare the rest of us from his awfulness.

You just need a small, concentrated dose of an RFK campaign injected into democracy briefly so that it can recognize and understand what it is so that it can quickly neutralize it next time that it gets into our system.
