This article makes a great read. Some notable quotes follow.
First the recap from the last week:
Robert F Kennedy Jr made the announcement to suspend his independent presidential campaign on Thursday. He soon appeared with Trump at a political rally in Arizona where he formally backed the former president, who clinched the Republican nomination despite his conviction on 34 felony charges of falsifying business records to conceal hush-money payments to adult film actor Stormy Daniels, among various other legal problems.
And this is particularly telling - in case anyone had any doubts. Emphasis in bold is mine:
Kennedy said he planned on removing his name from the 2024 presidential election ballot in swing states to boost Trump’s chances of retaking the Oval Office. But Kennedy said he would remain on the ballot in other states that are not expected to decide the presidential race.
The history:
Kennedy’s presidential bid and subsequent endorsement of Trump has drawn sharp criticism from the rest of his family. And, before its suspension, his campaign was replete with controversies, including a sexual assault allegation made against him by a former staffer and the proliferation of numerous conspiracy theories over vaccine safety, Covid 19, wireless internet, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and antidepressants.
The article closes with junior’s brother, Max, quoted as saying:
“Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would be motivated to write something of this nature. With a heavy heart, I am today asking my fellow Americans to do what will honor our father the most: Ignore Bobby and support vice-president Kamala Harris and the Democratic platform. It’s what is best for our country.”
Brain Worm in complete control now.

He is Ghaik!
I’d be heartbroken that my brother was an ignoramus.
Heartbroken but not surprised, surely. His brother is a greasy shit stain.
not surprised, surely.
Max Kennedy says his brother’s endorsement is ‘inconceivable’
He keeps using that word…
I understand his brother.
Is there any advantage of not dropping out in other states?
He still wants to try to split the Democratic vote where he can, I guess, though that makes zero sense to me, considering his endorsement of Trump
Less paperwork
Our only solace is that this might give Kamala just the slightest more of an edge in Texas. She’s already expected to narrow the gap from ~5% in 2020 down to 2-3% this year, with a fraction of the campaign dollars spent. Here’s hoping she can manage blue-Texas 🤞
