      I have no trouble believing Joe Rogan’s support for RFK Jr. is genuine, but sure, we can pretend he’s just doing it to get attention for his humble little $250mil podcast. It’s not like he’s got a decade’s long public history of being a stupid fucking meathead or anything…

    Wow, I was wrong. RFK, Jr can split the MAGA vote! President Harris should give him and Rogan a medal…

    Because he’s only doing this to stay neutral, and avoid losing subscribers. Guarantee he’s voting for Trump… like most rich celebrities who pretend they’re just like the rest of us…

      I honestly think he doesn’t vote. Because he has said that the whole system is a silly popularity contest. I agree. But I also think it’s a good thing to vote.

        I think it’s a good thing to have the option of voting and having it count as a vote. Thus, I’ll be voting in this election, just like the last.

        If you think a single thing that dude says is in good faith I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

        He’s a grifting right-wing propagandist and that’s all.

          Nah. He’s just edging both sides for the con. He doesn’t actually give a shit. He’s rich.

      Yeah it’s cathartic and all, but these people will lash out hard if/when he loses. I think we need to be taking this very seriously.

        Meh, I’m armed to the teeth, I’m not worried. This is one of the reasons I heavily support the 2nd…no cop or military is coming to protect me. They’ll come with a toe tag at best.

      The whole thing read to me like a Seinfeld episode - Kramer accidentally kills a whale off the coast of New York, and with the show having made dozens of Kennedy references, hearing of a Kennedy dumping a bear in Central Park would fit right in.

      So this doesn’t feel even like an own to anyone, more like a parody, a comedy. And in the context of it actually happening 1. in the setting of probably the most famous one, 2. with a character from the exact family they’ve referenced many times over and 3. with the same type of bizarre things happening to wildlife one of which has been one of the most famous episodes.

      To me, as a lib, it feels like the best Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm episode that’s never been written.

      Edit: Now that I think about it, the story even came out because he told it to Roseanne Barr, writer of most popular sitcom just prior to Seinfeld, notwithstanding her interminable slide, with her just staring at him incredulously throughout, the whole thing feeling like a Curb Your Enthusiasm scene. Honestly, at this point Larry David is definitely thinking to himself that he could never have written anything this Larry David.

      Edit 2: I completely forgot that his, Larry David’s, wife in Curb Your Enthusiasm is RFK Jr.'s actual wife.

      RFK is just as crazy as Trump but with a slightly more sensible policy. That’s not saying much, but he’s useful as a spoiler candidate. I feel like he’s gonna take more from Trump than Harris.

        It’s a match made in heaven in Joe’s eyes. Rfk Jr says what joro thinks but sounds smarter when he says it. It’s still bullshit. But it sounds smarter so Joe likes it. Specifically the anti vaccine stuff

    But RFK (In that leaked phone call) said his plan was to drop put and endorse Trump right before the election.

      Nah some of them are enlightened centrists who buy into his slightly right-leaning all sides schtick.
