Cont: 2024 Election Thread part 2

Nothing to appoint him to unless he wins. In which case, a cabinet position: HHS; FDA or USDA. Based on what he's been saying I'm betting he was promised Agriculture.

That was my point. Trump can't appoint him to anything. Agriculture? That makes sense for a guy who hasn't been on a farm his entire life. Grew up in Hyannisport, lived in New Yirk DC and LA.

But he does have a lot in common with Trump. He's a narcissistic nut who has married three times and accused of sexual assault.

 

[Pixel42]

Appoint him to what?

I think you missed the "two weeks" reference. He's saying he'll never appoint him to anything.

 

[a_unique_person]

Weed joke? I don't think Trump will offer him anything if he wins. Just a short term nod to help him in the here and now. He doesn't understand the concept of loyalty unless it's to him.

Trump won't give him anything. Kennedy is talking through his hat.

Who is Megan Kelly and why do we care waht they think?

And again, betting odds aren't to predict results, they are to entice morons to bet money.

she's a former Fox host about whom Trump said "blood coming out of her wherever" because he got upset over a woman asking questions that weren't designed to bless him

How did I miss this ?

President Trump is hosting a Jan 6 awards gala.

Presumably the GOP is perfectly fine with this.

Agriculture because he's been going on and on about food and processed food and the food business. That's all USDA. (A little FDA but mostly USDA)

Secretary of Agriculture doesn't have to set foot on a farm ever.

Unlikely he'll actually do it, I think. Kind of hope he does, but I suspect his handlers will probably talk him out of it. As long it's a dog whistle without actually having to blare it.

While Trump is listed as an "invited guest speaker" it is unclear whether the Republican presidential candidate will be attending the event in person. Newsweek contacted Trump's 2024 presidential campaign and Stand in the Gap by email, along with the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster via online inquiry form, for comment on Friday outside of regular office hours.

Good lord, he's as delusional as Trump.

To our RFK Jr. supporters here: are you now going to vote for Trump?

Pity the worm died, it was the most intelligent thing in his head

I want to see an adaptation of The Hungry Caterpillar with RFK's worm eating through different parts of his brain.

 

[jimbob]

Pity it didn't start with Broc's area

 

[Orphia Nay]

Pity it didn't start with Broc's area

Broca's area? I think it did. His speech is not normal, it's very, very raspy.

But maybe the worm didn't eat it all, and it crawled on to other areas controlling logic and sanity.

 

[Gulliver Foyle]

In a completely non-shocking turn of events, RFK jr. is endorsing Trump:



As has been already discussed, I doubt this will have much of an impact on anything.

As a spoiler backed by repug money who was failing to take many Dem voters with him even when Biden was still running it was inevitable that Robert Óg would eventually be told to pull out.

 

[Aridas]

This. Especially after Jan. 6 when his supporters stormed the Capital.

Ever wonder why he didn't pardon them any time during his last two weeks in office? He could have with just a stroke of his pen.

He didn't pardon them because they failed to stop the count and lost the battle to keep him in office. They lost. They let him down. They were losers.

If they succeeded pardons for everyone, but no pardons for losers.

To add to the disrespect angle -

Ex-Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham says he mocked his supporters as 'basement dwellers'

Can anyone imagine Trump switching out Vance for RFK as VP?

 

[The Great Zaganza]

no.
Vance is VP because Trump doesn't consider him a threat - RFK is.

When is the ballot finalised?

Not the internal party ones but the latest a candidate has to appear on the ballot?

Depends on the State. But considering some states have early voting and vote by mail the deadline is days away there.

This lays it out pretty well.

He said that if you're in a blue or red state you should vote for him, that it's not going to make a difference.

That's what I suspected.

BTW, this morning I just printed out an a request for a postal vote for a friend from New York state

Yes. Bret Weinstein can. He’s a truly insane person by the way.
