RFK Jr Files to Run for President (Dropped Out on August 23, 2024)

RFK Jr. is a narcissistic quack. Fuck that guy. May he swiftly follow his ludicrous campaign into the bunghole of history.

So the former environmental lawyer and champion of the environment endorses the biggest threat to the environment in my lifetime. I didn’t think my opinion of RFK, Jr. could go any lower, but he has managed to surpass my expectations.

That’s a deep cut from a submariner.

I suspect these days he considers the biggest environmental threats to be chemtrails and fluoride in drinking water.

Since I’m the OP, I guess it’s time to close this thread, or at least ask the mods to add (Dropped out 8/23/2024)

I did not think so- as polls with him in, or out, in the out polls Biden did better.

Hey, my mother was just about as far left as you could get – she kept a sharpie handy while reading the paper so she could redact any mention or photo of Individual-ONE – and she objected to fluoridation, calling fluoride “medicine”.

How did she feel about iodized salt?

Is he done talking yet?

Iodine is not like a medicine, it is an actual nutrient that is needed in trace amounts. I suspect she understood that. Fluorine is not known to have any substantive role biological role in humans.

And in brain worms? Or bear cubs?

If Trump keeps using music without permission, maybe he’ll just end up funding Kamala’s whole campaign if more artists send money to her. See, RFK JR. is helping already!

I’ve never understood fair use and songs used for political campaigns.

I don’t know why they don’t just stick to country and Kid Rock.

At some point they figure using popular music might be useful.

And I bet someone with the campaign liked it so just put it out there.

It’s not like doing that has ever hurt Trump in the past or anything.

Has it ever, though? I have heard complaints from the artists, but has it ever really cost him anything? It gets his name in the news one more time.

I think their campaign people don’t understand fair use either.

Or they do understand it, but don’t give a shit. They aren’t afraid of lawsuits and they don’t pay their bills.

From what I can tell it really hasn’t. At most it adds negative publicity but he shrugs that off.

When Democrats get complaints like that, and it happens, they usually address it, as Obama did years ago:

Politicians have tried to use the song before and gotten in hot water — there was even a brief tiff in 2008 between the duo’s Sam Moore and then-candidate Barack Obama over its use. (They worked it out later.)

But Trump just ignores them and nothing happens.

They could always use the collected musical output of Scott Baio. I’m sure he’d be fine with that.

Will we ever hear from RFK Jr again? Will his followers come out to hear him support Trump?

He ignores many legal debts and orders.

But Elvis, Sinatra, etc were old school republican, so not the same.

Kelly Clarkson was a surprise.
