Picking a Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate from the same state, and trying to cover it up with a sham address is the kind of thing brain worms make you do.

Look, man, as per the article, he had a damn falconry license at the address. What don't you get?! He falcons there. Thus, he lives there. There will be no further questions. ;p

The behind the bastards episodes on RFKjr truly tell you how fucking insane he is.

That and the article about the bear corpse. The timeline he tells is really just ludicrous on its face, and the article it was meant to bury was... Telling.

It is a little more than a falconry license. It's also his voting address, drivers license address, and he pays New York taxes based on that address...

I guess the next question is "was he voting in both New York and California?" Because that could be a bigger deal.

He left a pile of animal carcasses at that location, what more do you want?

I'm in the middle of the Behind the Bastards episodes on him. Dude has had a crazy life and should not be anywhere near any actual power.

I mean, was it a blow though, really? I think he'd have to have some semblance of a campaign that isn't just him telling everyone absolutely insane shit no one asked about in order for there to be blows to it.

I don't think he was running to win; he was running on the theory that his name would cause low-information voters to shift from Biden to Kennedy, enabling Trump to win.
