  1. Couch fuckers, brain worms, barbecue dogs, dead bear cubs on a bicycle…

    Trump’s Greatest Shitshow On Earth has it all!

  2. RFK jr is a joke and has no business being in government. His endorsement is a scarlet letter.

  3. The Harris campaign actually has morals and ethics compared to Donald who just accept the sleaziest people around.

  4. I have absolutely no doubt that the RFK endorsement is going to end up costing the fat orange diaper baby in the end because:

    1. His same idiot son who convinced Cheeto Benito to make Vance VP pick is the mastermind behind the RFK endorsement.

    2. Tiny hands tRuMp is wrong about everything, if he says something you know that the opposite is the truth and he said that RFK’s endorsement is going to help him win.

    I rest my case.

  5. The GQP want Americans to believe that RFK’s support for Trump represents the politically powerful dynasty of the Kennedys. This is simply not true. Sen Tom Cotton is a shameless scumbag who implied this on This Week with George S. this morning

    Members of Bobby’s own family have denounced him. I can’t cite one Kennedy who has said publicly that they support him. Sadly, RFK Jr is an embarrassment to a proud political American family.

  6. Whoever drew Daffy Donald and Kermit the Kennedy into this toonsim needs to start CTRL+Zing until the mistakes are removed.

  7. Trump seems to consistently surround himself with people who provoke the ” ick”.

  8. One thing that separate RFK from Trump is that I think RFK actually believes the lies he’s telling everyone.

    I know it’s not his fault but RFK should stay as far away from public speaking as possible. His voice is grating. It genuinely makes my skin crawl. Then there’s the actual subject matter he’s talking about and it’s all the more intolerable.

    I do feel kind of bad for any true RFK believers. They’ve so clearly been duped, and all you have to do to see it is go to their sub. It’s just a mix of people expressing disappointment, some trying to rationalize it and blame it on the DNC, and others trying to explain how it’s a genius move, actually.

    RFK jr, like Trump before him in 2016, preyed on the fears and insecurities of people who are looking for anyone to blame for their problem. Those supporters felt a natural feeling that RFK jr used, in the end, to boost a guy they hated. They‘be been played.

  11. I’ve seen a bunch of people describe it as Trump “flipping RFK jr” to his side. These people being the dumbest to walk among us. The type who would still fall for peekaboo where you cover your face and the baby thinks your gone. How they manage to make it to work and back home is a mystery

  12. Trump and vance were bored with hookers and couches so they wanted to dip their toes in the world of throuples….ps no kink shaming here!!!

    Republicans are uniting all their Epstein connections. No longer splitting the pedophile vote.

  14. For someone who isn’t “weird,” he sure does seem to surround himself with a lot of weird people.

  15. It’s wild that republicans think this RFK thing is a huge get for them. Like he wields a ton of political power or something

  16. RFK’s campaign has been completely irrelevant to this election and 99% of Americans. It’s only being inflated because conservatives thought it would damage democrats because they’re completely out of touch, and because they thought democrats would blindly vote for a Kennedy but democrats don’t think that way because we’re not in a weirdo cult that wants to be ruled by a dynasty.

  17. Remember when republicans were reasonable people you could talk to and have disagreements with?

    Like sure they wanted lower taxes and were maybe disappointed with their gay niece for her lifestyle choices, but they were respectful and even sometimes even likable. My god how did we stray from those days?

    Don’t forget that clown Elon, pretty sure he blocked me on x. My counters to his bs haven’t been sending today. Sad.

  19. One thing I think they overlooked is the Cuban vote in FL. I’m married to a Cuban, and while her political thoughts are more aligned, sane, almost everyone in my large extended family of Cubans HATE the Kennedys. This is one reason they are so consistently red in voting. I wonder how South Florida will take this?

  20. RFK jr videos on TikTok have been hilarious. Feels so good to laugh these losers off the stage. 70 days people. Get registered now. 💙

  21. Reminder that Nate Silver of 538 said that RFK, Jr’s endorsement of Trump and removal of himself from swing state ballots is likely to have essentially no impact on the outcome of the election. Not even in swing states. The people who supported RFK, Jr. that leaned Democrats switched sides immediately when Harris replaced Biden. The people that were left were disaffected Republicans and Qanon supporters who believed RFK, Jr.’s presidential run was necessary for his father to rise from the dead to usher in the endtimes. Yes, these people really believe this. Neither are likely to vote at all now that RFK pulled out. Democrats are mocking him because he’s a joke and his endorsement is a joke that does nothing.

  22. Checked in over at everyone’s favorite happy sub and they are convinced that this is the move that is gonna swing the Independents to Trump. LOL. I literally had to remember RFK was technically running.

    RFK Jr believe it or not claimed to be for things that were very left leaning ideas. Clean drinking water, greater access to healthcare and education, making obtaining US citizenship easier, closing down our military bases in other countries. And then he endorses Trump, the guy who is against all of this and if he has his way would do away with democracy. In short, RFK Jr is a liar and swindler. I can’t imagine how his father or uncle would feel considering he’s bowing to the swamp creature Trump. They probably could never imagine someone as uneducated and dangerous as Trump would even have a chance at the presidency.

  24. “hey you know that guy with the brain worm!? Well he’s one of us now (after I signed his paycheck)!”

    Fucking rednecks, man.

  25. RKJ: harris campaign made no attempt to get me to their side!

    Harris campaign: please stop calling

  26. >Scott Jennings, a conservative, paid pundit at CNN…said he was still banking on Trump to win. “He’s still got this,” Jennings said. “It might be closer now, but Trump will win.”

    >Then Jennings said **Trump would have “65 percent of the vote,” If he would “just shut up and go play golf**. But he can’t stop talking.”

    It’s so telling that Conservatives simultaneously claim to believe Trump is the man for the job, _and_ that the best way for him to win is to prevent people from seeing who he _is_.

    To emphasize his low opinion of voters, Jennings said

    > “He should cast himself as the challenger. The outsider. That’s who he is.”

    Yes, the celebrity billionaire former president is the ultimate _outsider_.

  27. I loathe Fox News and I’m a cradle democrat – but I ended up streaming the convention on Fix because it was not interrupted by commentators. I could watch it unfold in real time.
    It was fantastic to view that way, I would love to know – who produced the DNC convention? Very few dull/slow moments, just about everything was better than anything a commentator had to say.
    Really, who produced it?!
