Here is Kamala’s problem we are dealing with: unlike it was before, you could stay silent, because of the TV industrial complex. But now the internet is forcing the truths to come out. This means that the incompetence she has will come out every time she speaks out. She is literally digging her own grave, ON LIVE TV. While cackling. She cannot become a politician in a month. That takes years and fears and gears and tears.
Look, do you know what type of steel your balls need to be if you are negotiating with Putin or Maduro or Milei, about situations that will directly affect the WHOLE WORLD. What does she know about the complex structure that all the frameworks of geopolitics have? We need INTELLECTUAL AND THOUGH questions, with big brain THOUGH answers. Not questions about who your favorite rapper is or rallies where you just bash your opponent!
We the people want a COMPETENT pilot to fly this plane, not a pilot that has zero experience and is afraid to fly and speak out.
Imagine needing surgery and the surgeon is laughing all the time, but can not tell you what his/her plans are?
Not a single campaign policy position tab is present on her campaign website. Only donation tabs. We can’t know what her plans are. She dances around important questions. That is truly sneaky. And no we won’t forget Kamala gaslighted us for years about Biden’s health. And look at him now. The USA has no president now, you CAN NOT make this up.
NOOOOOOOO KENNEDYYYY
The worm did a bad job.
So I’m guessing he inadvertently started pulling more Trump votes than Harris ones?
Friendship with RFK jr is over Jill Stien has my vote now. END THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX 2024!
I wonder if we can get John John Kennedy to finally come out.
Deathstar gets a win 4 more years of Jabba is the future..
All hail the matri-lineal goddess of male servitude 🇮🇱
Make America American Again next time.. (MAAAnt)

@pindapoy1596 There is an agenda
Reply
There is an agenda for everything. One hour before president Bident decided to drop out, National Public Radio was calling for his reelection in the most flattering terms possible and then the agenda switched.
If this is true it’s no surprise.
He seemed to be a Trump shill from day one, someone more interested in stopping Biden than being a viable candidate.
This, if true, proves it.
His father would turn over is his grave in SHAME!!! 😢
😂😂 busted
Nonsense !
He isn't backing out.
He was never in it.
In the word's of Blink 182 Say it ain't so….. We needed RFKJ he was getting real momentum, uniting a broken country
FAKE NEWS about RFK!
All those people just weeks ago saying hed win 😂
Walker Scott Thompson Michael Hall Jose
what makes anyone think that his base will go for traitor trump just like nikki people went for Harris
Going back to trump, on hands and knees to kiss the ring
TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸🫡
If RFK Jr endorses Trump, that will be such good news.🎉😊 I would hope that he could be part of Trumps cabinet. I like RFK Jr.
Trump is not ideal but at least with Trump we might get RFK in a cabinet position. Not a chance with Harris
He's always been a GOP operative. His job was to pull votes from dems and more left leaning independents disillusioned by a candidate that was clearly too old. As soon as biden dropped out his role became irrelevant.
this is what you get when you act like fascist and use lawfare to stop RFK Jr from getting ballot access. But as a south east Asian. I don't think kamala have nothing to worry about. The fact that her father is a Marxist economist and her terrible price control proposal don't dissuade people. RFK Jr decision will not affect her. I hope she win because my country are applying to Brics. We need a weak leader like kamala to ignore the fact that more and more country are moving away from us dollar and go into OPEC and China embrace. Fuker trump will put tariff to make sure the us will get in front..
RFK is a smart man. He wants to support "actual" policies vs coo coo identity politics which has nothing to do with the economy and its citizens
Republican voters pay for their candidates' legal fees. Independents do not vote for candidates that have legal baggage.
Worms.
Whatchu mean by the end of the week??? Homie, drop out NOW!
You Democrats are such Hippocrates, you never spoke about him until now, why talk about him now? Because you are worried he might endorse trump. Democrats are such coward, scared of people voting for him, so what did democrats to pushed him out.

If he does drop out, I’m not voting.
Trying to get home off ballot….yes the democrats want democracy, what a joke. The attack trump, when they are the ones who threaten democracy
Don't drop out Bobby! We need more of a choice that the white elephant and the dumb *ss.
He is endorsing trump he said he is. And he should . What these dems did im sick of them people are royally mad. You have no clue. These people are not your average schmole either . The men that are alpha are just getting tired of this nonsense. The dems are all 70 none could scare a fly
Bs he plans to the dems kicked him off the ballot quit lying
The Democrats threw Kennedy under the bus. Of course, he is not happy about his past allegiance to the Democratic Party. He recently said that the Democrats and Biden/Harris are a greater threat to this republic than Trump. He is correct. I hope Trump invites him to build a coalition against the banana republic left-wing Democrats and against the insane gaslighting machine the Democrats have built.
Self serving POS. Kneel to your False Messiah for a position. Worm brained dumbass!
Say it…..Saaaay it….I'll say it..He would will be joining the trump campaign!! What an awesome alliance.whooooo!!!!!
Don't let RFK jr visit the Panda Bears at the San Diego Zoo !
Please !!!
Noooo
BYE BYE
LOLOLOLOL
JFK is not afraid to talk on tv. Why don't you have a video clip of him saying that? Is ABC news really that bad at journalism that they don't give the person featured in the story a chance to comment? Wow!! So disappointing. Even if he is dropping out, which doesn't make any sense if you watch any videos that are directly from JFK, not a basis news media source, I think he would say that if given the chance. This poor excuse for journalism is just trying to influence the public with fake news. It scares me how hard mainstream media is working to prevent a third candidate, any third candidate, from being heard by the public.
