RFK Jr. is about to learn the hard way what anyone paying attention already knows:
Trump makes a lot of promises that he has no intention to follow through.
He'll take RFKs donations and support and then toss him aside without a second thought. If RFK does get a small role, as soon as he's no longer useful he'll be the fall guy who 'hired bad people' that Trump has to fire to 'be a good businessman and be tough'.
RFK is now no longer welcome with any of the Dems and only a matter of time until the Repubs hate him too.
looking at how he treated the 100 previous trump appointees and saying "That wouldn't happen to me" takes some kind of worm infested brain

Remember when he had Chris Christie do all that work on the "transition team," and then threw it all away because fuck being prepared I guess?
Jesus Christ we're so fucked if Trump wins. Totally, utterly fucked.
That’s why putin bought him.
And he was dirt cheap. Practically free.
They now have three ultra wealthy, absurdly out of touch, despised weirdos on the ticket. Two with catastrophic mental illness and cognitive decline. One with a Handmaid's Tale (and couch) fetish. Backed by a handful of other billionaires from Musk to Thiel to Adelson to crypto lords. It's a desperate and frankly pathetic strategy. In a free and fair election, with a moderately intelligent electorate, they would be crushed...

RFK jr. Once told a judge that he shouldn't have to pay all that alimony because his brain worm has fucked up his mind to the point where he can't even make money or focus. But apparently still good enough to pick who runs the government.
Well he said that to ruin his ex wife's life so although that's funny he was bullshitting
It's on court records though so people should shove it in his face as fact
Then he should eat his words
Sort of like how he ate worm eggs.
To be fair, even a wormy brain is likely to function better than Trump's.
RFK Jr's wife Cheryl Hines (from Curb Your Enthusiasm) said she'd divorce him if he took a position under Trump. I guess that's not too much of a concern for him.
Let’s consider this AFTER she follows through.
Sounds more like she was blowing smoke and talking shit. If she actually divorces anyone I’ll eat crow but let’s be clear… SHE MARRIED THAT FUCKING WEIRDO.
I doubt her logic or particulars add up to normal behavior…
Eating crow sounds like a one way ticket to brain worms
Probably because he knew it was an empty threat.
Cheryl is about 87 steps beyond redemption already. She hasn't done shit so far and she won't do shit now. She's complicit in his horseshit

Isn't that worm scared of being around all of that ivermectin circulating in MAGA circles? Maybe that's its goal, infiltrate and destroy all the ivermectin. I'm just asking questions.
I think you're on to something here.

The worm overlords have infiltrated the US. Smiling Friends was right all along.
They told us to fear the lizard people. Turns out that was a false flag by the worm people.
Lizards eat worms. Checkmate … someone?

Honestly I think I'd rather have the brain worm choosing people via Ratatouille since the alternative is competent white supremacist fascists from the Federalist Society.
And if the worm is a Nazi, we haven't really lost much ground.
Arent you excited by the idea of a Chief of Staff Brainworm?
We can all have brain worms!
Impossible, brainworms need food and theres nothing up there in RFKs head

See this actually makes sense: Woke is a liberal mind virus right? So if Wormy Holehead here is chosen then he's sure to not be infected by the mind virus because the worms ate all of it! Perfect Woke Free™ cabinet!

In reality though I'd wager this is a lie to further distance himself from project 2025. He'll get to say "see, it's Kennedy picking people not the heritage foundation!" But it will still be all project 2025 rubber stamp heritage chucklefucks
I get Republican ads in the mail (hey, let them waste their money) and the latest commits a large chunk to desperately trying to distance Donnie from Project 2025 lol.

Well, Trump knows that RFK Jr. has some help in the ol' thinkin' machine.
The brain worm that's Controlling his mind?
We all know well that Trump will use the Heritage Foundation to choose his people, not some rando who nobody cares about.
Why even write an article about that?
I'm pretty sure it's the other way around. Heritage Foundation will be picking FOR him.
Trump is just a useful idiot that they can manipulate because he wants the power to stay out of prison. They put whoever they want in place, they'll drop a binder of things for him to sign on his desk on day one, and in return, they'll help him steal the election so he can make all his legal troubles go away.
That's why he has no idea on actual issues or policy. Because he doesn't care. It's useless information to him since other people are in charge of that while he gets to pretend he's important.

I missread that as "ruining".
To a Republican they are litterally the same thing. Make the government less efficient, use the inefficiency you created to argue that government should be cut because isn't inefficient. Rinse and repeat.
Sounds like you read it correctly.
Can someone please convince him that Trump is a whale?
First pick: brain worm
Cabinet of the Brain Worm
The time of the brain worms has come.
They Live nightmares begin to intensify again.
Logan act? Nah, that's for chumps obviously.
I think it would be a good idea to keep this person far from any position of power.
smart move by trump getting someone who makes jd vance less weird by comparison.
It’s simple, just ask his worm
