Yes, but this is still good news.

Taking his name off the ballot in the swing states helps a lot. Letting people who support him know that he has more common ground with Trump than with Democrats helps a lot. If he keeps speaking and campaigning, letting people know what the Democrats have become, that helps a lot too.

Actually, I think it helps more than an outright full endorsement because it's more genuine and it dis-spells the notion that there's some quid pro quo agreement.

This refusal to speak with him was a typically idiotic decision from the Dems.

I don't know if it was deliberate or not, but I liked his approach to endorsement. Basically, he expressed clearly how unfit the Democrat Party is, how he can find common ground on the most important issues with Trump, yet still vigorously disagree with him. The reason I liked this approach is I think it will be the most persuasive for his supporters to vote Trump. Had he been too fawning or supportive of Trump, he would risk being seen as a sellout to his voters, who would either vote for Harris/Walz, or stay home. By not officially ending his campaign, but only taking his name off the ballot in battleground states, he keeps his voters engaged and pushes them to vote Trump, even though they probably dislike him. As RFK Jr. pointed out, the margins are very slim, and his supporters are still relevant in the key states.

It's either idiocy, arrogance, or both. It's certainly stupid either way.

It is embarrassing! Shows their ignorance. And I don't believe RFK would agree with this were he alive today.

Yes! And now they're regretting it!

Well darn, where'd I leave that miniature violin.

This RFK endorsement may be JUST enough to tip crucial swing states like PA to Trump.

Betcha the Dems are in a slowly building panic right now.

What a surprise

Jack Smith Surrenders: Special Counsel Will Not Seek Expedited Hearings in Donald Trump Case

Special Counsel Jack Smith reversed course in his quest to seek expedited hearings in his Washington, DC, case against former President Donald Trump.

Smith sought the hearings to determine which actions that Trump allegedly took he could charge in his election interference case against the president.

The Supreme Court’s July 1 decision that presidents enjoy partial immunity for actions taken in office in an official capacity spurred Smith to alter his approach.

Before Smith relented in his latest push to expedite the increasingly shaky case, Judge Tanya Chutkan had planned to hold hearings in the fall to determine which of Trump’s acts were official acts subject to prosecution.

That determination will now occur after the election — if it occurs at all.

Whistleblower Reveals Shocking Detail About Butler, PA Trump Rally

When it comes to the assassination attempt against former and potentially future President Donald Trump on July 13, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has been sharing details from whistleblowers about the incident, with more chilling details still coming out.

As he revealed in a letter sent to Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, a whistleblower "alleges that officials at Secret Service headquarters encouraged agents in charge of the trip not to request any additional security assets in its formal manpower request--effectively denying these assets through informal means."

Not only is such information particularly damning to the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) and how they have been handling the attempt on Trump's life, it also contradicts what Rowe previously told Congress.

"You must explain this apparent contradiction immediately," Hawley also wrote, after pointing out that Rowe "repeatedly suggested that no security assets had been denied for the Butler event." Rowe, as Hawley pointed out, even claimed that he had been "very transparent and forthcoming."

Hawley's letter goes into further detail about the denial. "According to the allegations, officials within this office preemptively informed the Pittsburgh field office that the Butler rally was not going to receive additional security resources because Trump is a former president and not the incumbent President or Vice President. According to the whistleblower, the manpower request did not include extra security resources because agents on the ground were told not to ask for them in the first place," the letter continued.

In demanding more information from Rowe "immediately, and publicly," Hawley also emphasized that "Your actions to place some field agents on leave are not enough. These serious allegations suggest that the failures to protect the former president extended to top officials at the agency."

Leave it to these assholes to attack the man over a physical condition. Low-rent and desperate. Schoolyard insults

I thought it was abolute immunity for official actions.

This fuckstick is getting ratio'd. Not one positive comment for this guy. He was so proud of what he said, he decided to post about it, and that was his second mistake of the day. Talk about tone deaf

RFK Jr's assurance that his role in the Trump administration will be to focus on child health should help win over the suburban moms who think Orange Man bad.

I think it's great that RFK Jr has endorsed Trump. It will be interesting to see how many of his ideas about chronic disease in children get taken seriously. Personally, I fault the poor choices of consumers more than the malevolence of Big Food and Big Pharma.
And there is a large socioeconomic discrepancy: those who are poorer, less educated, and minorities tend to be more obese and in poorer health. At least some of that can be traced to the lack of stable nuclear families with mothers devoted to healthy eating by their kids.

RFK Jr with President Trump is a nice big FU to the Kennedy clan.

Felt this most appropriate here

And that can be traced to Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” program which destroyed the black nuclear family in America.

The more CNN and other MSM make fun of Kennedy and belittle him, the more enraged his supporters will become toward them and the Democrats. I hope CNN and the rest keep this up for months on end.
