They're running out of money

So the woman who married a billionaire… then was unfaithful with another billionaire is now starting for feel desperate that the billionaire class might have to … gasp! …pay a their share of taxes!

It’s desperate times !

Honestly, I find his overture to Harris absolutely fucking hilarious. What the fuck did he think the response was gonna be, considering how much of a goddamn wingnut he is?

They're joining the guy who takes credit for operation warpspeed? The vaccine rollout program? Me thinks they don't care about their #1 issue as much as they say they do.

Oh noes! He's going to give all his 0.01% of the vote to Trump! What are we going to do?

[-] Mononon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

He's polling higher than that. Closer to like 5-6 percent in quite a few states. It's certainly enough to swing the election.

I'm sure that'll work just fine.

Guys. I think maybe he was just a russian foil all along.

I don't know. It seems to me like he's just a bog-standard grifter and wanted to trade some votes for a cushy do-nothing job.

He's obviously a spineless opportunist regardless.

Shadiest thing is that RFK called BOTH campaigns and offered his support and voters in exchange for cabinet positions.

And because Trump is a corrupt fuck who loves quid pro quo, don’t be surprised if he puts this anti science nut job in dangerous role.

The plan has officially backfired.

Jail. Election fraud.

[-] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

As they always were going to.

They better make a decision pretty quickly - I know here in NC absentee ballots get sent out early September.
