The jokes write themselves
Definitely presidential material.
Neither, because he is not a serious candidate.
Would you prefer me or Trump? Trump is a worthless pile of crap and I’m not on enough ballots to get elected, plus my whole platform is about getting public transportation going everywhere so that everyone who wants to can get drunk at work and still be safe getting home.
That explains a lot.
Honestly, I think this might be on to something. RFK jr was not always a lunatic - before he went insane he did some truly great things in his career. He then gradually made a turn for the worse, ending up as the mentally insane candidate we know today. It honestly explains his political platform pretty well.
It also reminds me of that great infowars interview with a Sanders supporter (correctly?) observing that they have worms in their brains.
Honestly, I think this might be on to something.
The article says 2012, I don’t know much about parasites and how long they live, first, and second, if somebody had somewhat conspiracy-related views, but not too extreme, then got a parasite in their brain and things got bad, then those views would be retroactively interpreted as him having went mad earlier. So - if the worm lived for like 7 years, this makes sense, even if it didn’t, still possible.
Anyway, most of his activity of the anti-vaccine kind seems indeed to have started around 2012 or after that.
Which is a shame.
I would add his previous habit of eating a lot of tuna. Mercury poisoning was likely why “mad as a hatter” came to be. Hatters would brighten their pins and needles with dips in quicksilver, to see them better. Holding some pins in the mouth caused ingestion in small amounts that slowly poison. It isn’t a far reach for a person to see their neurologic symptoms of mercury poisoning to be from another mercury source, like the mercury in one particular vaccine.
Oh no, they can’t remove the only coherent thoughts he has!
The worm died over a decade ago…
And Kennedy seems to think the cause of death was eating his brain
Kennedy said in the deposition that the doctor thought the spot on the scan “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”
That’s just a sequence of events. “I stood up and then my car alarm went off” doesn’t mean those events are linked. The worm probably just doesn’t live that long or something.
There are myriad things we can point to to mock these people but showing off our poor reading comprehension isn’t going to help.
When this hit Morning Joe on my morning drive into work, I had tears in my eyes from laughing so much.
What. The. Fuck.
it ate a portion of his brain
Seriously. What the fuck is this time-line?
The quote is hilarious
Kennedy said in the deposition that the doctor thought the spot on the scan “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”
Just the way he said it makes it sound like eating his brain killed the worm…
Also, this was from a divorce testimony in 2012 about a past event.
It’s not a new development, he’s been like this over a decade.
