    Good to see RFK Jr.’s continued attempts to ratfuck the 2024 election get thrown out.

  2. It’s easy to call something a conspiracy, but RFK Jr. shows it’s a lot harder to carry one out.

    Ol’ Roadkill F. Kennedy’s calculus in dropping out was way off. In other news, the severed whale’s head is still being stored in the family’s minivan.

  4. The Michigan antivaxxers are going to be so torn.

    Do they stick it to the Dems and vote for Trump or do they try to help RFK Jr. over the 5% line nationally (which no doubt they believe is still possible, even though it’s not) so they can have a party to call their own next time around?

  5. He knew way ahead of time that he had absolutely no chance at becoming the Democratic candidate. He knew he was only running as an Independent to sink Biden’s chances at winning because he was never going to win.

    If he wanted Trump to win, he should have endorsed Trump from the get go instead of running a clown show.

    This is what he deserves, the tables to turn and for him to sink Trump’s chances. Shut up and go away now.

  6. I really hope this bullshit conspiracy ploy that he and Trump cooked up comes back to bite them in the ass.

  7. You think it bothers old Don at all knowing that he wasn’t even RFK jr’s first choice for who to endorse? 😂

  8. Does this impact at all the rumors of him getting picked up as VP? Can someone be on the ballot as both a presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate?

  9. This stupid bastard dropped out of the race to help Trump win the election (after Harris refused to offer the loser a job or even take his calls), but now he can’t get his own name removed from the ballots.

    It’s almost like he’s a pampered little shit who traded on his family name for decades but can’t execute a plan and deliver results when called upon to do so. Imagine that!

    It’s no wonder he endorsed Trump. Morons of a feather, as they say…

    Doesn’t seem like it matters. People would write him in if they actually cared that much, and wouldn’t vote for him even if he is on the ballot if they listened to him.

    It’s basically a sinkhole for low-information voters now.

    “Vote for me. Don’t vote for me! You, over there – vote for me. But you, no, _you_ – you _don’t_ vote for me. By the way, one time I split an iguana into two perfect halves with a machete I stole from a Wal-Mart in St. Lauderdale. Wasn’t even a planned thing; I had probably three grand in cash. Absolutely no reason for it. I just do things like that. It’s because of the worm that ate … a fair amount of my brain. Vote for Trump!”

    Surprised the orange man hasn’t already started saying the elections are rigged because some states aren’t willing to break state law to remove a candidate who may take away votes from him.

  13. Can someone explain to me how this works? Yes I know there should be a time limit to be added to a ballot, but once you’re in you cannot change your mind and drop out? Hypothetically what if a person who does not want to be the president wins the election… do they just quit their job and the VP takes over?
