Play Calling for Politics
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., he of the conspiracy theories and anti-vaccine hardline and who has been shunned by his own family, is running as an independent for President of the United States. Some rather optimistic polls have concluded he’d garner over 20% of the vote and change the results in several “swing” states. Now, as if this isn’t crazy enough, he’s stated his vice presidential choices are either Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets quarterback who was lost for the season in the opening minutes of the opening game last year, and who is rather bizarre himself (he suggested talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was somehow tied up with disgraced, late zillionaire, Jeffrey Epstein), or Jessie Venture a former governor and pro wrestler.
I’m imagining that Kennedy’s choice is Rodgers, they win the election, and then Kennedy unfortunately falls victim to covid since he’s not vaccinated. Rodgers becomes President and calls his first cabinet meeting, focused on Russian aggression. Rodgers’s instructions:
“Secretary of Commerce, you go deep, around China, to Taiwan.
“Secretary of the Interior, fake a run and block in Ukraine.
“Chair of the Joint Chiefs, run an ‘out’ to the sidelines in the Middle East.
“Meanwhile, I’ll run a quarterback sneak, right through the Black Sea. Ready, go!”
You think this can’t come to pass? Think again. Someone made the huge stinker of a film “Napoleon” at the cost of tens of millions with an apparently stoned Joaquin Phoenix in the lead.
