In an apparent move to stir up greater support from the hardline leftists in the progressive movement, RFK Jr has announced 38-year-old Nicole Shanahan as his Vice-Presidential running mate.
The move appears to be an effort to appeal to the Bernie Sanders, ecology-centric, radical leftist, earth-saving environmentalist wing of the Democrat base voter. Positioning the ticket to carve out a younger voting bloc and stir interest amid the Sanders/AOC crowd.
Shanahan had previously donated $4 million to the SuperPAC supporting Robert Kennedy Jr and given thousands of dollars to the Soros funded progressives in politics and activism circles. Shanahan was previously married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin, one of the wealthiest men in the world; the financial windfall from their divorce funded her ability to contribute heavily to far-left causes.
(Via CNN) – As a video introducing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, played to supporters in Oakland on Tuesday, the campaign crystallized the partnership by distributing “Kennedy/Shanahan” signs to the crowd.
Kennedy named Shanahan as his vice presidential pick Tuesday, introducing her as “my fellow lawyer, a brilliant scientist, technologist, a fierce warrior mom, Nicole Shanahan.”
Shanahan’s selection will accelerate Kennedy’s attempts to gain ballot access in as many states as possible. She will also be tasked with broadening Kennedy’s appeal and potentially helping to raise money for his big-spending campaign.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday he was “most importantly” looking for a young person as a running mate and picked 38-year-old Nicole Shanahan because he believes she can speak to the “the growing number of millennials and Gen Z Americans who have last faith in their future.”
“Many in your generation have stopped believing that older people who have been running our government for so long understand them or represent their interests,” Kennedy told supporters gathered for his vice presidential announcement in Oakland, California.
Kennedy, 70, attacked President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, the respective presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees, for their age, while suggesting it may contribute to what he says are poor policies on technology regulation and the economy. (read more)
(Via Politico) – […] Kennedy has been searching for a vice presidential candidate to join his independent bid since quitting the Democratic Party primary last October. The short list was wide-ranging, including NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, motivational speaker Tony Robbins, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and ex-Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
Now that he’s named the 38-year-old Shanahan as his running mate, the campaign can begin collecting ballot access signatures in about 20 more states.
Shanahan said she’s passionate about fighting chronic disease in the U.S. by eliminating toxins in food and water and electromagnetic pollution as well as doing different studies on pharmaceuticals and vaccines.
“There is only one candidate who takes the chronic disease epidemic seriously, and it is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and I will be his ally,” Shanahan said.
Shanahan said Kennedy will be focused on corruption in government agencies while she applies her skills as a technologist to the issue.
Shanahan, who is also a fellow at the Stanford Center for Legal Informatics, has a long history of political giving, backing progressive California Rep. Ro Khanna’s campaigns as well as making a contribution to President Joe Biden and a five-figure donation to the Democratic National Committee in 2020 after supporting Marianne Williamson’s long-shot bid during the primary. The tech entrepreneur also donated to Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016. (more)
Kennedy is a trouble maker
-fake
Agreed.
He’s so fake , he’s not even good at it.
RFK2 started out pretty good and convinced some of us he might be a good VP for President Trump.
His family has certainly suffered at the hands of the IC and deep state which, if he was serious, was a good pedigree for taking them on. RFK2 also came around on the Climate Change Hoax and 2A quite a lot. His Covid-19 position was always good.
Somewhere along his journey the path he took changed when he fired his
campaign manager and it looks like he’s going to damage Biden so I think it’s a good thing after all.
Kennedy jr
-for President?!!!?😹
Never bamboozled me.
So was his uncle Teddy. The liar of the senate. Gave us an open borders immigration bill.
She’s probably fully boosted, too.
Such irony.
LOL!!!
Perhaps not oldersoul…many of the “progressive libs and commies” did not get the toxic clot-shots. The next few years will tell ya!
As well as the Congress, their bosses, and their underlings. This was an attack on the “for thee not me” citizens and i will never forgive them for this.
This won the internets today (and made me choke on my cookie)! Nice Nice Nice!!!
They truly must be worried about the average democrat voter crossing over to pull the lever for President Trump.
Way to go. Hope he gets on all 50 ballots.
This wacko combo will make mail-in ballot fraud more difficult for the Obama/Clinton fascist wing of the Dem Party.
Biden and his handlers must all be collectively pooping their depends.
I betcha Kennedy knows a lot about their election tricks and methods and will be interfering with that fraud.
Sounds good to me… But what do I know.
If precincts individually counted votes locally and THEN sent results in, ballot fraud would cease to work.
The problem is when precincts DON’T count but collect and mail their ballots to some “central facility” where all the fraud you can imagine occurs.
Omega4America
check them out. They have an excellent strategy. Prevent ballots from being mailed to illegitimate addresses.
They have a couple of videos that are “2000 Mules” caliber good. And the founding group were MIT types. Way Smarter than most of us when it comes to data analysis.
Good. Let him split the Biden voters.
Interesting timing. Seems they were able to settle…
Kennedy Campaign Fires Back at Nevada SOS, DNC After 15,000 Signatures Invalidated, Threatens Lawsuit
FTA –
“The official also called the state law “clear” and wrote that “governmental functions can’t be prevented by the conduct of statements of employees.”
Kennedy’s campaign wrote that it intends to sue and depose the Nevada Secretary of State, to “find out exactly which White House or DNC official concocted this scheme.”

I think RFK Jr has some good thoughts, but just not enough for me, a totally MAGA voter.
I would make that, “had” some good thoughts.
Then he stuck his finger in the wind…
RFK promised to “wreck the Democratic Establishment”.
He’s yet to issue even a mild criticism of Clintons, Obama or Biden. #Poseur.
It’s in the mail.
An excellent point!! He might be a thorn in the flesh of Big Pharma but aside from that, he is a Big Government supporter all the way !
The Kennedy family is in cahoots with the Democrats…..
Absolutely. The Kennedy roots are intertwined in the roots of the deep state, IMO.
Yup, they can never actually, leave, the plantation…
If he really gave a 💩
about the USA and Americans
-and the world
it would seem he would be supporting President Donald J Trump; who has a proven record.
Excellent point, Patience!
Agree..
If we were asked whatabout rfk 2yrs ago. Be asking whatabout him, never actually done Anything! Heard of him..
Zuckerboy’s c19 mail-in ballot boxes.
Cricket.
https://rumble.com/v2l0po0-president-trump-they-used-covid-to-cheat.html
He promises to legalize pot too. Trying to get the stoner vote or what?
IMO Government pot could be laced with government fentanyl.
Kennedy attacks PDJT for his age, even while Trump gets younger and stronger daily and RFK2.0 himself sounds like death itself.
What’s Kennedy afraid of?
WHY is he
—even ‘running’???
Kennedy is trying to be a spoiler.
IMO The only candidate out there that is hated by both parties is PDJT.
He’s in recovery.
Pray he doesn’t relapse.
You won’t see him in 2028.
So much for the FUD campaign to make JFK Trumps vp pick.
JFK is even older than Biden.
RFK,?
*
My bad, RFK of course.
That was over the day it started.
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/111834474435563589
Where are all those Kennedy supporters now?
“President Trump’s VP” my shiny white . . . elbow!
Pfffftttttttt!!
Exactly! Never trust a Kennedy.
The CIA didn’t trust JFK.
👉Could be why little RFK is still an a s s e t. He saw 👀 the light ✨️💡 and plays the assigned role. Or maybe he’s just low level for usability, either way, “I knew JFK and believe me, RFK is no JFK”. (Via past Vice presidential candidate in debate )👈
That’s not how it’s supposed to work in the United States, John. It’s the President who is in charge and the IC takes it’s direction from him. Maybe, in Israel, where your from, it’s different and IC tells your President what to do!
JFK hated the CIA and the CIA hated JFK, enough to kill him
Yes, very true John Peyer. Should have mentioned excluding JFK but was thinking in terms of my adult life which was after he was President.

This is a genuine and destructive phenomena that merits an appropriate name:
Red Widow.
Trying reeeeeally hard to understand his thinking here.
Anyway….
He wants to get the Marianne Williamson voters.
What, all three dozen of them?
According to that hallowed institution Wikipedia (yeah, I know):
“…..she received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Puget Sound, where she studied Asian studies, economics, and Mandarin Chinese.” And, her mother is from China.
Way too pick ’em, Bobby,……way to pick ’em………….
👉Got a tip from Senator Mitch McConnell on the way to profit 📈 from being influenced by Communist China 🇨🇳. It’s another fang fang selection 👈
She’s wei Red!
RFK and her definitely check all the wrong boxes.
The DNC brand of Marxists are going to destroy them.
A pigpen slugfest between far left and communists, Bolsheviks and confused gender bent racists , anti-Semites and envireowackos…illegal aliens and uber rich billionaires living in cordoned off mansions…
What’s not to like ?
Let this colliseum circus of idiocy begin !
May they all lose!
Kennedy jr is a trouble maker
-fake
He’s part of:
That build back better thing was over before it started.
America Last Jobama regime. We don’t need no stinking infrastructure.
If they take more votes from Biden than Trump they will have served a righteous purpose.
Helping Trump, not an accident.
Make him FDA Chair and put him in charge of investigating COVID/Pharma.
Does she have an Onlyfans account? Asking for a FILTHY LIBERAL
Wow!!!
That is all….
👉 Maybe another one of those test the waters for future “electability”.👈
🤔Seems like quite a few political candidates will be brought forth as part of the New World 🌎 Order.
😈Hillary Clinton made the play to become a New York Senator. TPTB and Uniparty antiConstitutional Globalists always have some fresh meat 🍖 ready for propaganda consumption.
I can see your point, Joel, but…
Those who are the “elites” in the NWO are not chosen, but selected…money, connections, and who knows what else qualify them for their membership in this satanic club.
My view is that electability would have little to nothing to do with it, dear friend, as our voices count for nothing to those who wish to eradicate us and make serfs out those who remain. She is an unknown I’d bet to 99% of American, including me until this announcement.
There is something I’m missing about his choice (who to me looks vacuous); but for the life of me I can’t see what it might be.

This made me pause:
“There is only one candidate who takes the chronic disease epidemic seriously, and it is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and I will be his ally,” Shanahan said.
I think she meant “handler” instead of ally.
My guess: She’s been selected to be RKF’s Mike Pence.
The Powers That (Should Not) Be can’t afford to get even a trickle of truth about the jabs out there – so RFK needs a handler.
I said in another comment, steph, that tyrants of all shape and stripes have appropriated the language for their own purposes and agendas. We see it everywhere with everything, which, if they used terms that everyone understands, they would be dismissed out of hand.
Did he select her of his own volition?
One does wonder.
Ally=Handler…
I think you are right.
I can only imagine… he was severely compromised at the tender age he saw his immediate family members executed in public; who wouldn’t be?…
their “grief counseling sessions”- generously provided by the gov’t. no doubt –
likely included, I can only imagine, ‘something extra’. Just in case they ever needed to ‘access’ any of the family members.
Yes, I could imagine that.
Exactly 💯 and stated very well Betsy jones and why I used the “electability” in quotes because of everything you laid down so thoroughly.👍👌
👉I’m looking also through globalists lens to see 👀 who some of the new players for the near future might be such as our “favorite” community organizer, in his earlier rather unknown to the general public days, Barry Sotero aka Barack Obama👈
Atta boy.
Always think “outside of the box,” forward thinking, and listen to your first instinct.
It will serve you well.
Even if you’re occasionally mistaken, it is better to be safe than sorry.
And you just might find that some of the times “you’re mistaken,” it just hasn’t played out and surfaced yet.
😎
💯I really hate looking through their lenses but it keeps my old “battered conservative” tendencies from rearing its ugly head 😈
I saw your quotes surrounding “electability”, Joel. I completely understand.
Which brings us to the question, do we “elect” anymore?
Or are we offered a choice between the left jackboot or the right…
Methinks the latter.
The same as a choice between tyranny or simple despotism…remembering that the Antichrist, when he finally appears is supposed to be beautiful.
Potato/Potahto
Whoever, he or she is is still evil or the acolyte of it.
Copy that 👌 👍 dear Betsy jones as we’re continuing to “occupy” until HE returns.
This is very good news for President Trump, IMHO…. And hopefully very bad news for Slo Joe and the Ho !
There is no way that moderate voters, who might have been considering Kennedy, will be persuaded to support him now that he has chosen a Progressive ideologue with ZERO experience in anything remotely connected to being the Second Most Powerful person in the world. This woman makes Kamala look qualified, for Heaven’s sake!
Disaffected Democrats will sit out the race or vote for Trump at this point – no idea what he was thinking but suspect that the Kennedy genes might have played a role in his decision and maybe Mrs Cheryl might want to have a good divorce attorney on speed dial… Just sayin’🙄
Did he think – or was he paid or otherwise coerced to do what he was told?
Mental basket case? 🤔
This is good news. It will help Trump. If RFK jr. had picked Tulsi Gabbard (and she had said yes – very unlikely) it would hurt Trump.
He just likes her, “assets.” Which actually means, he intends to divide the leftards ticket. Demoncrats will now be faced with a choice, vote for the “assets” aka agenda of the soros team #2, or he soros team #1. Decisions decisions.
I’ve heard that rumor about young Robert– aka — Junior.
Imagine all the humanitarian beer and pizza you could buy with $4 million.
Wait, wasn’t Kennedy supposed to syphon off Trump voters? Can’t recall where I read that, made sense at the time. Anyone else having a hard time keeping their conspiracies straight?
Do ya’ll know the difference between a conspiracy and the truth? About nine months.
Check the archives at CNN.
Check the archives at CTH, too!
Thank you, I was being diplomatic. :).
Does that mean “Trump” is finished? Asking for a friend…
PDJT – the only man on planet Earth to be “finished” more times than the $$ in the national debt.
But I thought Bobby socks was a good guy who be given due consideration. 🤔
😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂
BTW, Ms China doll has also supporterd Gascon, who destroyed SF as DA and on his way doing the same in LA; and donating to groups directly advocating for the replacement of law enforcement with social services.
And a lot of folks thought Bobby socks would pull votes from Trump. 😎
Poop Ole Joe gonna lose more radical leftist voters.
And the hits just keep on coming.!
America 🇺🇸 FIRST!
Sundance could teach this Irish Mafia a thing or two about “corruption in government agencies”.
He announced a few days too early. Should have waited until April 1st—-April Fools Day
Kind of like having Bernie on the ticket. Seems to be far, far left. Brain dead Biden will have to fight on two fronts. Trump will benefit.
Well, I’ve spoken up for RFK Jr. in these forums several times, but I gotta say this choice looks corrupt and terrible. I’m out.
You guys have earned your round of “I told you so”s.
If you have come here, been gobsmacked by something sundance said, and said to yourself, “I don’t think that can possibly be right…”
…only to find out in due time that it was, of course, right…
…You are now a graduate of the CTH school! Welcome!
*My moment was very early in 2015, when shortly after I started reading here, I was astounded to discover the truth about Jonah Goldberg.
He could be a closet Trump supporter. Considering the train wreck Biden is.
Maybe he can afford to run now.
Exactly 💯 melamine.
👉She probably could very well be worse in a position of Government Power but then again so was 30pence a real back stabber from the very beginning 🔪 👈
Is she any worse than Pence?
Yes
I’d rather bang her.
No more political Dynasties.
No more Soros sinister sisters.
The only positive I can say is she doesn’t look like the typical short haired icky liberal woman, but I do see evil in her eyes.
JFK sounds like an extreme asthma case. He picked the girl to make the case for relative youth as he has no hope to embody that appeal himself.
He sure held our attention a year ago when he took on Biden over Covid. That’s now a memory and the rest of JFK has been fleshed out. He flamed out early.
RFK not JFK
He has a vaccine injury to his vocal chords, it’s called spasmotic dysphonia – he’s better since being treated by docs with holistic & functional medicine approaches. If you listen to him speaking 4-5 years ago & compare that to his current voice quality, you’ll be able to perceive the improvement.
Going for the far left protest vote against Biden – how much traction who knows-
Hope he draws enough of these disaffected Dems from Biden so as to off set the Never Trump RINOs who WILL vote for slo Joe
Some Trump people became in love with rfkjr because of his stance on the vaccines. I keep reminding them to stop falling in love with every Tom, Dick, or Mary that comes along who has 1/2 of a point on 1 subject that you happen to agree with. rfk is a democrat. He believes everything they believe except with the vaccines issues. He is no where close to America first. And this lady is a very rich witch who was married to a very bad actor. I don’t care how much money she has, she is not a sweet little thing…and it will be revealed. rfkjr is not good for this country.
rfk will be a spoiler for biden…but biden does not need any help…he is doing a good job at lowering his numbers all by himself.
Yep! I thought RFK was a better choice if President Trump was forced out. There is no way I would vote for a Moderate Republican, RINO, Democrat, or any other leftist. Three presidents I’ve voted for in my lifetime: Reagan, Perot and Trump.
A Kennedy focused on corruption. Alrighty then.
Very sad. If RFK Jr was really trying to give people another option, he totally failed in his pick of VP.
Apparently, he is just another deep mud hole in the swamp.
He must want to be the 3rd assassinated Kennedy. Seems like he is nuts!
He will never hold enough influence in the political world to be of more value under the grass than above it.
Can we finally be done with this crackpot now?
She looks like one of those “preachy females” James Carville was talking about.
No she doesn’t. Let’s be real.
Well, I guess nobody else is gonna say it, but she’s actually kind of attractive for a liberal. I know. Just shut up, Beagle!
Beauty is skin deep; ugly is to the bone. Saying that will bring you no criticism as it is accurate in both directions.
This will definitely pull more progressives from Biden who aren’t happy.
But it will lose Moderate and conservative Independents.
I could have voted for him if Trump was not in the running. Now, not a chance.
Same here! I thought he would make a good VP for President Trump helping him win Democrats and Independents.
I’m confused how these power elites get to “donate” millions of dollars to a campaign laundered through a “Super Pac/Pac of some nature. How is this not electioneering influence?
She’s perfect for this “team” to drain votes from The Dem candidate (it won’t be The Husk Hologram…Still begs whether it’s real or Memorex?)…hence why The Hyperventilator’s are loudly screeching against RFKjr.
From hearing of Kennedy down through the years, this man would be even worse than Biden in the wh. Any person who believes he’s anything but pure democrats, doesn’t know of the Kennedy clan.
Did her $4.0 million donation buy her the spot?
It helped him buy his way onto the ballot probably. Difference.
Know them by the company they keep
Ro Khanna/Brin <– Shanahan <– Kennedy
Kennedy has proven his is two degrees of separation from Ro Khanna and Sergi Brin.
Umm…. Go run for President of Venezuela.
RFK Jr. just guaranteed President Trump’s election win with this pick.
RFK Jr’s pick of a swamp creature is very telling of what his principles are. Hopefully, he will just hurt Biden in the General.
Of note, I just read an online article at jonathanturley.org that the Dems are trying to disqualify ALL and EVERY 3rd party candidate from the ballot. Great article – apparently the Dems feel that DEMOCRACY is at risk if 3rd party candidates are on the General Ballot.
Apparently these days, Kennedys assassinate themselves.
🎯
Ouch!
All China wants is a green agenda candidate as it benefits them.
China is currently building EV factories in Mexico.
A vote for Bobby is a vote for China. I swear there is a plan to make Bobby president with Congress help.
They will make Trump supporters accept Bobby with the narrative that Bobby is an Independent.
Bobby is an intelligence community, Obama puppet. Don’t fall for the psy op games that they are not giving him secret service protection and that he is bashing the CIA. Bobby has never shared anything we didn’t know.
Funny how he’s the same as Obama 🤔. Just another metrosexual globalist, China, puppet with tons of kompromat to control him.
Bobby tweeted lockdowns were good for climate. You will have the same economy as we have now with Bobby. He’s a democrat!!!!!!
Lol. Bobby reminds me of Hunter. Lol.
