RFK Jr. Running Mate Unboxing: It's Sergey Brin's ex wife / Elon Musk paramour Nicole Shanahan

[quesaisje]

Not sure when the candidate himself is scheduled to go on stage, but this is happening now. Intro speakers so far have focused on Mexican cartels, Covid lockdowns, food deserts, autism, and the food supply.

This announcement has more promotional videos embedded than an Apple product showcase.

Metta World Peace spoke for a couple minutes.

[Malarkey Decider]

Is that Ron Artest lol?

[Penn_Quaker_Girl]

Very disappointed they didn't play the Curb theme when Cheryl Hines walked out on stage. 

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It doesn't change the race

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

Wow, RFK sounds terrible. Makes Biden look like an Obama-tier orator in comparison.

[Eraserhead]

I remember when this guy seemed to be a reasonably normal environmentalist and progressive voice years ago. Good times. I guess the 2024 version of everyone is a little weirder though, huh?

Pretty classic spasmodic dysphonia. 

[Redban]

It's Shanahan, officially

[beaver2.0]

A national ticket made up of people named Kennedy and Shanahan would break the minds of Americans in the 1850s.

Ah, just looked this up and it sounds like RFK has this diagnosed condition. I withdraw my critique.

I've been wondering what's up with Kennedy's voice. Dude sounds like me when I'll be his age

I mean, realistically you aren't wrong about that - most Americans are going to pick up on Kennedy's condition if he gets into the debates. Whether its fair or not to critique him, I don't know, but it will come up.

[Redban]

You get used to his voice quickly. It's not a big deal

These don’t sound like positions that will actually attract a large number of Democrats that do any kind of basic research on Kennedy if they’re still undecided by Election Day.

Here are a few excerpts from her Wikipedia:

Shanahan grew up in Oakland, California,[7][8] In a 2023 interview with People magazine, Shanahan said that she had a "very hard" childhood marked by traumatic experiences; she described her father, who died in 2014, as a sufferer of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.[7] She said that her mother, who was born in China

In the 2010s and 2020s, Shanahan made various contributions to left-leaning organizations and Democratic political candidates.[11] In 2020, Shanahan was a "major donor" for Measure J, a criminal justice reform referendum in Los Angeles County.[27] Also in 2020, Shanahan contributed $150,000 to support George Gascón in his challenge to incumbent Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey.[28]

During the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, Shanahan contributed $2,800 each to the campaigns of Marianne Williamson and Pete Buttigieg.[21] She co-hosted a fundraiser for Buttigieg in December 2019, along with other wealthy Silicon Valley figures.[21][29] After Joe Biden became the presumptive nominee, she supported the Biden presidential campaign, contributing $25,000 to the Biden Victory Fund.[21][2]

So she’s a Soros donor

The fact that this guy is polling as well as he is tells you a lot about the state of American politics.

Pretty sure anyone with the last name Kennedy would be doing the same. Same reason why some polls have him at 60-80% name recognition and with a *positive* fav score.

[President Johnson]

I guess most people don't know about him other than he's a Kennedy (even though is entire family backs Biden). And there's a decent junk of voters outside partisan Democrats and Republicans with a low appetite for a rematch. Nonetheless, I doubt he finishes above two or three percent of the vote (hopefully he gets out of the race before the election).

And she’s half Chinese at that.

[Catholics vs. Convicts]

I heard through my patent law circles that RPX Corp.'s HR department put out an APB to its male executives to be alert and stay away from Shanahan as she was a serial seducer and was having many affairs with executives in the patent law industry. My boss did a patent deal with her and said she is as crazy as reported in the news.

[President Johnson]

Somewhat off-topic, but is it just me taking notice of that, or does the guy indeed always wear the same necktie?
