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)
If RFK jr. somehow becomes President, unlike Biden, I doubt he would be especially Palestinian inclined as it was an anti-Israel Palestinian who murdered his pro-Israel father.
👉Dancing with the devil 😈 while it’s his tune means RFK don’t care about who did what as much as he wants to be the last person dancing after the music stops. It’s about power with most of these globalists and Uniparty types.👈
Everyone knows that Sirhan didn’t murder Robert F Kennedy! Like Lee Harvey Oswald the guy was a patsy. The fatal bullets came from directly in back of Bobby Kennedy while Sirhan was already on the ground and his .22 caliber revolver was empty. The murder was a security guard at the hotel. The LA County Medical Examiner confirmed that before he died.
RFK Jr knows this well and has spoken about it frequently. In fact, he’s convinced, as many of us are, that his father was killed by the CIA 👀 because they knew he would have uncovered the truth about the JFK assassination. In other words RFK was murdered to continue the cover-up of the earlier assassination of President Kennedy.
You can get details of the JFK assassination regularly on America’s Untold Stories. Just would add that it was a consortium of LBJ, the military and the CIA, with FBI’s knowing complicity that killed JFK. Rand Paul told Tucker the other day that he felt our democracy died when JFK was killed… not in a Camelot-is-gone way, but that something in our leadership had radically altered the DNA of America–paraphrase here. Sixty plus years on, with more than 60% of the public convinced of the alternate view of Kennedy’s murder we cannot even fend off stolen elections–not just the Presidency–, endless censorship–the courts are no help–, the continuous thievery of our GDP by our elected leaders and their true patrons, and the diminution of our foreign stature. Between facilitating the Ukraine war, the shameful Afghanistan exit, weakness before China, supporting Iran and Hamas instead of Israel and the meddling in South American elections… we still have not put the brakes on the intelligence community that distorts our nation’s birthright.
Our democracy died when JFK signed the executive order to let government employees unionize.
More need to wake up to that was the moment our country went off the rails and became permanently polarized and dysfunctional. 22 million government employees today who only vote and don’t to Democrats. Their massive unions run the county election offices and send out the ground troop shrugs, to hustle every ballot they can find.
Do you think we have a democracy or a constitutional republic? They’re two different things.
For a lot of people saying we have a “democracy” is simply a shorthand way of saying we have a “constitutional republic”, which is correct, of course. When I read that kind of comment, I don’t assume the writer is confused.
Rich–Those calling the USA a democracy are the confused. As forms of govt, democracy stinks. There is a huge difference between a democracy and a republic. The USA is a Constitutional Republic that incorporates democratic ideals. That in no way turns US into an democracy.
Thanks.

Virtually all of federal employees who seem to be the problem do not belong to any labor union:
FBI Agents
Federal Prosecutors
DOJ lawyers
CIA Agents
NSA Staff
Congressional staff
White House staff
FDA, NIH, CDC doctors and researchers
For the most part federal labor unions cover clerks, secretaries, janitors, painters and the like.
Spot on – I’m an old guy and remember when it happened. After winning the California Democratic primary in 1968 he was going into the convention with more delegates than the other candidates, was almost certain to get the nomination, and probably would have defeated Nixon. Everyone knew it, and the folks who’d killed his brother less than five years earlier knew it, too, and could NOT afford to have that happen.
Thank you!
Sirhan’s gun held only 8 bullets, but there were at least 13 shots fired some of which were lodged in the plywood walls surrounding the kitchen. Those plywood boards were removed by the LAPD, never to be seen again.
Except that RFK has stated in a 2018 interview that he didn’t believe the Arab Christian with Jordanian citizenship killed his father.
Very convenient you left that out promoting your never ceasing narrative.
Noguci, the Medical Examiner, his statements and report should dispel the Sirhan assassination myth for anyone. F’instance, a blackened powder burn behind RFK’s right ear, one of four shots from behind.
It’s kind of amazing that Noguci didn’t point that out in one of the dozen press conferences after the shooting or at trial.
I mean it speaks very loudly about who really did it. The brother of JFK, a former attorney general, New York Senator and leading Democrat candidate for President having won the California primary…
…and everybody involved in the investigation from the LAPD, LA Prosecutors FBI, Noguci, the Governor of California and etc all lied to protect the guilty!
Noguchi spent decades under attack by TPTB and being defamed, “discredited” on his autopsy. So he chose his words carefully, not too loudly, and not too soon or frequently.
I’m sure he didn’t want to be Arkicided, Epsteined, or Johnsoned.
Exactly.
Try to keep up troll John Peyer…even RFKJr doesn’t think Sirhan killed his father.
RFK Jr. thinks the CIA was the more likely culprit, and I’m inclined to agree.
Yeah, cuz that’s the most important thing, isn’t it?
As our country circles the bottom of the toilet bowl, engulfed in a wave of illegal alien invaders, pissing away hundreds of billions of dollars to ensure hundreds of thousands of Slavs (Nuland and company’s enemies) die on the battlefield, while US covert operators guide and/or carry out “assymetric” attacks against Russia, and our military/State Dept/White House all brazenly antagonize a global nuclear power, begging for WW3, our debt skyrocketing by the trillions, infrastructure crumbling, government colluding with tech giants to silence/cancel/debank dissidents, the justice system weaponized against Normals, and on and on….
But, good thing the Kennedy boy will keep the booty ($10 million per day for the last 65 years) flowing to AIPAC’s hostile foreign sponsor, huh?
MAGA or MIGA?
We’ve gotta choose.
This ought to keep RFK from being much of a vote suck away from Trump.
This above, x100. Let the crazy idealistic Lefties go for this team. One vote for the Kennedy team is one less vote for the Biden crime family.
That was my first thought. Lefties will vote this ticket. A RHINO? I don’t think so. They may write in Pence, but not vote for this couple.
Thought the same thing myself – more likely he’ll siphon votes away from Biden-Harris, I think.
He is trying to steal away voters from Cornell West… (all five voters)
Perfect choice!!
Don’t know her, don’t care! But, I do hope he sticks it to the democrats and his family!
Gonna take votes from Biden if he is the nominee Libnuts vote for that pair. .Bernie Sander in drag
Nothing is ever as it seems at first glance. I initially assumed his candidacy was on behalf of the left to steal votes from PDJT. Maybe is on behalf of America first to steal more votes from the potato in chief…
Don’t know, don’t care, can’t do anything about it. But if is siphoning more leftist votes whether intentional or not I can’t complain. 👍
Oh how the son honors his father and late uncle JFK. RFK,Jr. has sided with his father’s and uncle’s killers.
He did a complete 180° flip! Crazy, but I actually thought he was sincere about going after them!
I’m a die-hard MAGA President Trump supporter. However, Kennedy’s Soros stooge pick makes me sick and question his beliefs.
At least it shows his true colors.
RFK hasn’t found a leftist policy he dislikes.
He doesn’t like covid vaccines.
Take a look at who manages his campaign–her background, not just how they’re related.
These are not new “true colors”. He’s never been more than a Democrat with a few (very few) things that some could agree with.
I agree with you, but would add that I’d rather have him than whoever actually controls the Biden-Harris puppet regime. But I’ll be voting for Trump in November, unless the Deep State decides they have to kill him, of course.
And they might.
RFKjr talks out of both sides of his mouth to find supporters.
Just another deceitful pol.
Sad that RFK Jr. picks someone like this. But it does reveal his deep leftist core values: destroy the West while fighting a totally fake climate change boondoggle. I would be surprised if the CIA weren’t supporting his bid.
It is sad that there really are people so incapable of thinking for themselves that they will believe anything no matter how preposterous and unscientific it is, and they will believe they are the only ones “in the know.”
RFK Jr. has shown a good deal of concern for the children injured by vaccines. But he is totally beholden to virology, which is a fraudulent science.
See the work of Sam Bailey and the Perth Group who have studied all the research on viruses and have found that not one of the studies proves any virus has been isolated. Virology is just as fake a science as global warming is.
This is what the left has brought us: the destruction of science, medicine, and public health. The attempted destruction of our culture, our values, our mores and our ideals. What they stand for very few Americans really want. Just the parasites who are billionaires want these things.
His daughter-in-law, who is his campaign manager, is ex-CIA.
Maybe she gave him a heads-up on where this was going if he didn’t change course!
I’m happy.
Makes the choice crystal clear what RFKjr is not.
So the loss is Democrat votes, whether Joe or someone else who they run on Nov 5, 2024.
Anyone who says “I’m a Republican”, voting for RFKjr. is a) very confused, b) a big liar, or c) a very dumb Rino.
I am disappointed in his pick and he is showing his intent however his fight against the shot goblins is huge plus.
I won’t disparage him on his other politics though I disagree. Being willing to tell the truth about the biggest crime against humanity is not something anyone else has done including Trump.
We can all agree he has his head in the game of bureaucracy, Big Pharma, some science & is well-educated on vaxes. He says the middle class is being destroyed & then he picks a big Soros lefty who wants criminals & illegals committing crime against the middle & lower class & out on the streets
I fail to see how that’s an improvement over the two idiots in the WH & the Obama-run Administration of Freaks. And anyone calling RFK an improvement for Moderate Dems or independents is just as stupid as the Communists.
He doesn’t like vaxes. That’s the difference between him & FJB.
Never Back Off
DeSantis Influencers Say They’ll Write-In Pro-Abortion, Anti-Gun RFK If Trump Wins Primary.

Well, then. Good thing they aren’t so numerous.
👉Possible a significant portion of these so-called DeSantis supporters are actually regular Democrat Party voting 🗳 Democrats anyway👈
They some mean little sonofabicthes, the few they are.
only folks gonna support these nut jobs will be other confused liberals. Just wait till they go on the road and spew moronic ideas for the suffering American people. Enough nonsense. Go on ahead Don tear this guy up I’m so sick of kooks.
So scary. They’ll add to his minuscule total and won’t vote for Biden. That is badass.
Well, the half-dozen of them can make a very loud statement for “someone” to listen to and care about their choice. I’m sure it will matter, but thankfully, not to me.
No surprise there.
That was back in Oct. of 2023. RFK’s VP pick today just wrecked that scenario unless you’re a Democrat/RINO.
RFK Jr. Destroys His Candidacy With VP Pick
She reportedly helped pay for Mr. Kennedy’s Super Bowl ad to the tune of $4 million via a Super PAC. The ad got mixed reviews and ended up with the candidate apologizing to his family.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/rfk-jr-destroys-his-candidacy-vp-pick
Exactly what I said when I saw the headline.
She’s very accomplished at sleeping with one of the Gurgle founders.
Retired Magistrate here: He’s a Kennedy and Kennedy’s like young women.
Well, that’s not such a bad thing these days, is it? LOL
How young? 🤔
She’s 38. RFK’s about 69. The CIA will assassinate him Day 2 if he’s inaugurated. He’s a Kennedy. New leftist Soros billionaire in office. Got the game plan?
My immediate thought as well…I could say something very unladylike right now but will refrain!
The also like driving and flying them into and ponds and oceans.
I’m posting this around on social media just to wizz off President Houseplant and the Biden Regime
**********************************
HEY HEY❗️
HO HO❗️
DOPEY JOE HAS GOT TO GO‼️
She is a radical lib. Take votes from Bubble Brain Biden
I hope Steve Bannon takes note. He was all in for RFK Jr to be on the ticket with DjT. The guy has just revealed himself to all the world as a member of the hard left. No way would he have fit into an America First administration.
Bannon blew that one, for sure. You’d think he would have done better research.
Those of us who were deeply affected by the JFL assassination still have the Camelot pixie dust in the corner of our eye, even if we later learned it was all an illusion & all about warring factions in our politics & government.
Bannon does a good job on some things but for some reason…reason seems to leave him altogether on other stuff. Trump never needed a Democrat on the ticket.
Certain people see RFK, Jr. as a possible VP pick such that he would be “an insurance policy” (protection) against the offing of DJ. Demos do not like DJ, but they sure don’t like RFK, Jr any better.
True colors showing, scratch a Democrat, expose a Leftist.
Well, she does in fact have African dna….
From her fling with Elon.
oooooh, that’s nasty
subtle as a brick through a window. Same Team – Different Pretender
Its not like they are hiding it or anything.
She looks nuts
Bobby, Jr.’s just as kooky
“………..the campaign crystallized the partnership by distributing “Kennedy/Shanahan” signs to the crowd.”
I read that too fast. Though it said Kennedy Shenanigans…………….
It almost seems like the Left are just throwing all kinds of sh** at the wall to see what sticks. Does he really think this is gonna work?
WHAT A DUMB MOVE RFK JR!! You had a chance… you totally had a chance. And you blew it.
Now your cards are on the table.
NOT MAGA.
ALL SOROS.
Had a chance? He was a nutjob gun grabber, climate idiot long before this latest silliness.
Not MAGA? Did anyone actually think he was even any where near the MAGA field?
Some swooned . . .
Silly.
Since you are now in menopause dangers years ages 35-55 hon, be sure to look into the Big Pharm hormone replacement (HRT) drug racket.
HRT that was as much of a damaging hoax as the “covid” racket. Show us your real credentials; not just your Progressive creds. And it went on a lot earlier and a lot longer and FDA and NIH did nothing. And harmed generations of women. Past was prologue for Pfizer (Wyeth)
“Shanahan had previously
donatedspent $4 million to secure her position as Vice Presidential hopeful payable to the SuperPAC supporting Robert Kennedy Jr”There you go, silly Sundance!
Viva USSA!!! democRats are All Rats, just different variety of ISMs.
Teddy Kennedy was No JFK or RFK, and “Junior” is more like Teddy, imo.
All of which is just more Bolshevik smoke and mirrors.
Trump or Bust in 24, and it’s 50/50 that WeMeYou emerge as Free Citizens in 2025 onwards.
Cannot help but to consider that he motive is to actually help Trump back in, because this move does nothing but assure it. 😁
Picking a wealthy elite who hectors first wold non-issues is a fail, RFKJr.
Bad move for RFK, but now he should draw more from weak Biden voters than weak Trump voters. So it works well for us. We have to make such people aware of how radical she is.
This is going to get the Left wing Bernie voters thinking about RFK to move to/back to Trump. The left despise corporations, especially those in big tech, even as said corporations drink the poison pills of ESG and DEI by the gallon to try and appease them.
He apparently actually wants us to think that he believes she is qualified to be POTUS.
No matter how you cut it, the assumptions he is making about both her and us reveals a great deal about him.
And none of it makes him more appealing.
All the folks who thought RFK Jr. would be a good VP pick for Trump should be feeling a bit foolish about now.
This is the “Try to make sure no one gets 270” move
Election goes to House, controlled by Dems
It’s easy to give boatloads of money to left-wing causes when you didn’t earn it….except by lying on your back.
Great news! Now it’s guaranteed this clown team will take zero votes from Trump. This is a welcome distraction in an otherwise boring week of waiting for November.
I think the problem of Trump voters voting for RFK Jr is now solved.

You are so right. We need to find the collaborators to the 2020 steal, and they must hang or rot in jail forever. Every darn one of them.
The must happen for the nation survive. All the communists who participated need see what Lady Justice is all about.
And to think how many people on this site pushed for Trump to pick this life-long liberal to be his VP.
Amazing.
I’d still like to hear a serious comparison between her and Pence as to how they represent(ed) the primary candidate, and how they would govern differently (God forbid either). Did anyone not vote for Trump in 2016 because of what Pence represented? Or Reagan/Bush? Did they not know? Do they forget the compromise? I still think RFK Jr’s choice is more about the money, of necessity, than reflecting perfect ideological accord, especially if he’d considered Tulsi Gabbard. Trump’s candidacies then and now would not be possible without his personal wealth. Few candidates have that freedom.
This is all about getting the nomination in 2028?
RFKjr. just showed his interest in money and far left politics.
Anything for recognition in spite of his protestations that he doesn’t like the direction the Party has taken.
So, he chooses a far left immature techie, one with$$$$$$$$$.
I kept telling people this guy is a phony.
Shows us exactly who RFK, Jr. is…….a hardline leftist behind the facade of a moderate.
Joe Bidens poll numbers are so bad its like walking in and seeing your grandma naked. ( way too much information)
GOD at work and protecting our GREAT President Trump.
Ugh. Thanks RFK for washing off your makeup so we can se e the true you.
Now I didn’t need it but I have a couple “independent” friends thinking Kennedy and NO WAY would he pick her. HA!
I read earlier today he may run as a libertarian, whatever.
Bad choice JR , maybe good for maga 🤔
I don’t hate the guy ,but he’s having a bad year .
The choices you make can’t break ya 😂
Scientists are supposed to be skeptic and supposed to use logic.
No decent scientist looking at the FBI data on crime, demographics, etc. could ever conclude Soros’ politics make things better for anyone except the criminal.
What does RFK want? What is he trying to get from Biden’s people?
I think it’s a prime speaking spot at the convention. He’ll speak on his pet issues and in the deal he makes w/ Biden’s camp, he’ll praise Biden and the party’s “always strong work on the behalf of the downtrodden” and he’ll take huge pokes at Trump.
That’s how this works. YOu let me do this and I’ll do that for you….ON THE BIG STAGE. If not, I will cause all kinds of trouble for you.
Anything good I was saying about RFK I take back after today listening to him and his far left liberal China doll. Both make me sick now cause they actually are radical leftists with crazy ideas and experiments waiting to be thrown over the people. Socialists and not well meaning. OK you were right they are kooks….
I was shocked at his VP pick.
Interesting to read Sundance’s hypothetical cabinet picks for PDJT last December, with
♦ CIA Director: Robert Kennedy Jr
♦ Deputy CIA Director: Kash Patel
See how that works? RFK Jr can put up or shut up, but Kash Patel is the insurance policy in the event RFK Jr is bearing false witness. The core agenda is carried out by the Deputy, while the Director is the functionary receiving silo information to satiate the executive (Trump). What happens in the layers below the functionary are what really matters. Kash has eyes-on, without the distractions of the functionary role.
I thought RFK Jr. at CIA was an intriguing idea at the time. Not so much now.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/12/26/hey-why-not-trump-vp-and-expanded-cabinet/
I still find it intriguing.
I still find some of his ideas intriguing, Melamine. If he had picked someone like Tulsi Gabbard as his VP, I might feel differently. The idea of him picking someone so connected to the swamp and the Deep State as VP being at the helm of the CIA is more scary than intriguing to me — and too much like the government IC we already have…
I think the first comparison ought to be not to who RFK Jr. should or might have picked, as if we would vote for him for President anyway, even those of us who would be on board with him in an appointed position in a Trump administration, but how does the VP he chose compare to Pence in the effect Pence had when elected. His last act destroyed any chance of contesting the 2020 election before it was certified, thereby legitimizing it. That act lingers to this day in everything he’s done and said since, having to do with the J6 set-up and false narratives that followed. He was also put in charge of COVID matters. He’s in the company of the swampiest and most traitorous VPs.
If one wanted to judge Trump by some of his cabinet posts, SC picks and VP pick in 2016 at face value, no MAGA would vote for him ever again. Maybe some voted for Trump in 2016 because of Pence being on the ticket but they were not MAGA, only more anti-Biden. The same standard should be applied when looking at RFK Jr.’s choice of VP, as I see it, except that money at this stage of the campaign is a big issue for him that it was not for Trump. Practical considerations are the rule, VP’s usefulness to the campaign, not ideology or character.
RFK Jr.’s choice of Shanahan will inspire far leftists to vote for him and many not far left anti-Trump and anti-Biden voters will focus on the primary candidate and ignore whatever makes them uncomfortable about her.
I didn’t trust Reagan because of Bush (or both of their wives). The first candidate for POTUS who ever got my vote was Trump and I voted for Pence for VP because it was a two-fer, like it or not. He was the price of electing Trump.
The rule is perfect: in all matters of opinion our adversaries are insane.
