The Endorsement of Donald Trump by RFK Jr.: Who does it help? Who does it hurt?

On Friday, in what a certain sect of America considered a major political move, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced he would be suspending his campaign and endorsed former president Donald Trump. Kennedy made it very clear that he would not be ending his campaign, but that he would be taking his name off of the ballot of all swing states and states expected to go to Trump. The intention is clear unless you’re an absolute idiot: Kennedy is not really staying in the race, but if he can do anything to take one vote away from Kamala Harris, then he’s damn well going to try. The fact that the junior Kennedy was then announced as part of the transition team showed that it was obvious where his allegiances lie, which is interesting for a man who entered the election cycle as a democrat.

With Friday’s announcement, I thought I would look closely at Kennedy’s decision and ask the following questions: Who does this help? Who does this hurt? Where has the announcement of a political candidate supporting his previous rival moved the needle? Let’s dive in.

How to Unhook a Bra: Sex in Zach Snyder’s Rebel Mooniverse

Zack Snyder is possibly one of the most fascinating directors in pop culture today.  He’s certainly one of the most divisive, whether for the content of his films or for his… let’s say “enthusiastic” fanbase. 

Cries of “Release the Snyder Cut!” still echo through the halls of twitter, usually couched next to the worst cultural and political takes one can imagine in a steadily MAGAfying online space, even while Snyder himself professes liberal politics and endorses Democratic candidates.

Is Zack Snyder a woke Chad, a MAGA chud, the coolest dude, a giant dork…?

Shut the fuck up Owen Jones of the Guardian, you useless fuck. What do you have to say? Huh? Hey. You partially fucked up. Wow. You’re a shriveled, useless dick. What do you have to say? Oh, hey, the republic is crumbling… I bet it could be bad. What do you have to say? 

“The system doesn’t work for ordinary people.”

Lawfare – written by Jordan Holmes

You and I do not have the same concept of American law, which by now is a fact with which you are intimately familiar. But that is because “Law” is a false cognate. “Law” is an individual word. It is a word defined by the individual, not the group. When you tell me “This is illegal” and then what happens is six years of delay, arguing, continuing to do the ILLEGAL THING, and still worse follow, then what is illegal to me and you are very different things. If this is illegal, then it will be stopped. 

If it’s not illegal, then we can negotiate. How is something both legal and illegal at the same time? Such that you cannot be punished for it, yet cannot be free of it. What is “Law”? What is the thing we pretend to agree on? 

I know many people with battered legal syndrome. Why are you hiding that joint from _____? Why are you hiding _____ from the law, if it is now legal or if it will be legal? What is legal if it’s a 4-dimensional question? What is illegal if it is later legal?
