Get ready for the decriminalization of ayahuasca.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is running for president as an independent, has confirmed to Rebecca Davis O’Brien of the New York Times that Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is at “the top of his list” for Vice President, along with former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura.

 RFK Jr. ‘considering’ Jets QB Aaron Rodgers, ex-WWE star Jesse Ventura as running mates

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed Tuesday that New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and ex-pro wrestler and former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura are among his preferred running mates.

Kennedy, 70, told the New York Times that Rodgers and Ventura were “at the top of his list” to join the 2024 ticket, while two sources told the paper the men had “welcomed” the candidate’s approaches.

“Yes, Mr. Kennedy did share with the New York Times that he’s considering Aaron Rodgers and Jesse Ventura as running mates along with others on a short list,” a campaign rep confirmed The Post Tuesday evening without elaborating.

The Times report added that Kennedy has gauged running mate interest from former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and 2020 presidential candidate and 2021 New York mayoral candidate Andrew Yang — all of whom have apparently turned him down.

Good grief. 

Yep… American politics today. Theater of the Absurd.

Aaron Rodgers is anti-vax - great - but he also seems to be a bit of a nutcase. Does he have any other political views, I wonder?

I don't know what Ventura believes, apart from being an atheist, but as governor of Minnesota, according to Wikipedia, he:

-often admitted that he had not formed an opinion on certain policy questions
-often called himself "fiscally conservative and socially liberal"
-supported gay rights, recreational marijuana, and abortion rights

Well, Rodgers is quite confident that he the smartest guy in any room he enters. And, he can really spin a football.
