Honestly, I find his overture to Harris absolutely fucking hilarious. What the fuck did he think the response was gonna be, considering how much of a goddamn wingnut he is?

They're joining the guy who takes credit for operation warpspeed? The vaccine rollout program? Me thinks they don't care about their #1 issue as much as they say they do.

Oh noes! He's going to give all his 0.01% of the vote to Trump! What are we going to do?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

He's polling higher than that. Closer to like 5-6 percent in quite a few states. It's certainly enough to swing the election.

I'm sure that'll work just fine.

Guys. I think maybe he was just a russian foil all along.

I don't know. It seems to me like he's just a bog-standard grifter and wanted to trade some votes for a cushy do-nothing job.

He's obviously a spineless opportunist regardless.

Shadiest thing is that RFK called BOTH campaigns and offered his support and voters in exchange for cabinet positions.

And because Trump is a corrupt fuck who loves quid pro quo, don’t be surprised if he puts this anti science nut job in dangerous role.

The plan has officially backfired.

Jail. Election fraud.

They better make a decision pretty quickly - I know here in NC absentee ballots get sent out early September.
