Independent presidential candidate and potential election spoiler Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s anti-vax campaign is heating up, with his  top-two running-mate picks having been revealed. 
One is former pro wrestler and independent Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura. The other? Fellow anti-vaxxer and QAnon-adjacent NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Both Rodgers and Kennedy Jr. have basically never met a conspiracy theory they wouldn't immediately glom onto and amplify, and Jesse Ventura has had a show on Russia-backed TV for five years. So it's really hard to know who's the better choice!
But certainly on brand for RFK.

RFK Jr.'s top two VP picks:\n\n\u2022 Anti-vaxxer football player\n\u2022 Russian state-sponsored journalist\n\nIncredible, deeply serious campaign.

Anyway, Kennedy Jr. told The New York Times he's been talking to Rodgers "constantly" in recent weeks. 
He's also been talking to grifting former Democrat-turned-Trumper Tulsi Gabbard, Republican former Senator Rand Paul, and failed presidential candidate Andrew Yang, but they must not have been up to snuff.
The Times reported that a Kennedy-Rodgers website has already been registered and everything. 
It really is the perfect match—both men have had their brains cooked by bizarre conspiracy theories about Covid and vaccines, and Rodgers has given his thumbs-up to everything from QAnon to 9/11 truthers to flat-earth theories and, of course, that perennial favorite, claims that the moon landing was faked. 
Oh—and he thinks the 2010 Sandy Hook shooting in which 20 children and six adults were slaughtered was faked, too. A real prince of a guy! And of course, both gents are right up Vladimir Putin's alley. Neat!
As you might guess, the prospect of an RFK Jr. and Aaron Rodgers ticket did not spark much enthusiasm among many folks online.

On Saturday, one-time vehement Trump critic turned MAGA Republican convert Vice President JD Vance went on vacation to Disneyland in blue state California, despite Disney World in red state Florida being closer to Washington D.C. and in the middle of MAGA territory.
The administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump is currently engaged in a face-off with California over occupying forces sent by Trump to Los Angeles, which is about 50 miles from Anaheim where Disneyland is located, making Vance's choice even more questionable.

Speaking to The New York Times, former President Joe Biden called President Donald Trump a "liar" over claims that Biden's pardons are "void" because they were done by autopen, a conspiracy theory heavily promoted by Republicans who've already suggested many times that Biden was not mentally fit while in office.

 —  (@)
        
In the final hours of his presidency, Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons, including ones for his relatives, all members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 attack—such as former Congresswoman Liz Cheney—and several of Trump’s most prominent adversaries, including General Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was fact-checked by an X Community Note after she tried to praise President Donald Trump for "rebuilding" the country, when she herself voted against President Biden's 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
The IIJA authorized $1.2 trillion in funding and the increased federal spending in recent years has improved U.S. ports, roads, parks, and other services in a country that civil engineers have long said spends too little on infrastructure.

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after positioning himself front and center during Chelsea’s trophy lift at the FIFA Club World Cup final on Sunday. 
The event, held at a sold-out MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, saw him greeted by loud boos from the crowd—boos that only intensified as he refused to leave the stage, instead lingering and openly basking in the attention.
