Kevin Spacey, Woody Harrelson, Rob Schneider, Jeremy Piven, Russell Brand, Bobby Lee, and Tony Robbins are all pitching in for RFK.

It's a veritable 'Who's Who?' of 'Him? Really?'

its dissapointing. he was a real 60s hippie. celebrities aren't people we should look to for guidance though. Still sad. Ol' wood

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 42 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Every time a hippie becomes a yuppie, an angel loses its wings.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

I was sure the first guy was joking, but your serious reply has me scratching my head.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah. Jerry Rubin becoming a capitalist still fucks me up.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 39 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm surprised he can do something besides talk about Rampart.

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works -3 points 6 months ago

lol you win this comment section

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 10 points 6 months ago

To be fair, he thought he was supporting Rampart Francis Kennedy.

“Not the anti-vax guy?! How could he endorse the anti-vax guy?!”

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 6 months ago

Yeah I get that but that due to him being more of an all natural hippie guy. His wife owns an all natural company and he stays in shape by doing yoga. He's been that way for years. RFK jr believes the conspiracy shit. Never forget Woody discovered that Liem was related to Chris Hemsworth after making two movies with him. He's smart but not bright.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 34 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Maybe if Scott Baio and Kevin Sorbo endorse him, he'll siphon voters from Trump.

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's pretty damn hard to siphon voters from Don Cheeto Poorleone, they way they've attached their face holes to his blistered pucker en masse. How else are they almost as full of shit as he is?

[–] Woozythebear@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

It's a real shame that politicians can do literally the most awful things and still have hundreds of million of people dick ride for them.

[–] Thunderbird4@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Pierce Brosnan, too

[–] Woozythebear@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

He stole the sexual assault voters from Trump

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

Seems to be aiming for the sexual harasser crowd, as multiple of these have allegations against them.

[–] noride@lemm.ee 109 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Alleged child molester Kevin Spacey? That Kevin Spacey????

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 15 points 6 months ago

Alleged witness murderer Kevin Spacey?

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 39 points 6 months ago

Sooo... RFK Jr. is a child-molester? Who would even want that endorsement???

[–] 3volver@lemmy.world 34 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Holy shit, read this title and genuinely thought it was The Onion. I had to read the sublemmy name like 3 times to realize this is Not The Onion. My fucking god what reality do we live in. We split from another universe some time in the 1970s and are living this shit show, LOL.

[–] interrobang@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 6 months ago

I read the headline outloud to my wife and she laughed, then i pointed out that it's a real fucking headline and shes quiet now

It's just clown shoes as far as the eye can see.

[–] Mkengine@feddit.de 1 points 5 months ago

I don't follow American politics very closely, who is this RFK guy and between Biden and Trump, how bad is he?

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The high baggage Spacey endorsement likely won't attract many Democrats but might impress the Lindsey Graham and Matt Gaetz types on the Republican side.

[–] Hegar@kbin.social 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Lindsey Graham and Matt Gaetz types

Openly closetted gay and child sex trafficker types?

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Whoa we came full circle to “Kevin Spacey”

[–] muse@fedia.io 12 points 6 months ago (2 children)

With an ad voiced over by Woody Harrelson, which really says how far his family's come, since his dad killed JFK

[–] Mbourgon@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Sorta. He did kill at least a couple people. But it’s mostly discounted. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Harrelson

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Lmao wut?!

I thought he was a serial killer and Ted Cruz's dad was on the grassy knoll

[–] restingboredface@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Coveted Kevin Spacey Endorsement

WTF, Rolling Stone- Who exactly aside from maybe RFK is coveting an endorsement from him?

[–] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 21 points 6 months ago

They're being sarcastic. You can tell by the list of people that have supported him linked with sexual assault.

[–] darthelmet@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

At first I ready the title as "Kennedy Space Center" for some reason and I was really confused.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

What the fuck man

That's what I read it as, too. And it doesn't look like that at all.

[–] darthelmet@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Maybe my brain just saw it was about Kennedy and something about space and filled in the rest. It's weird.

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

I did that too!

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 months ago

Super Nintendo Chalmers

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Damn. How much did Trump pay for that one?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Dag, yo. Ouch.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

He just wants to play him in the eventual movie
