It’s wild that RFK once was on the side of the environment and worked in that field to do some good things.
What happened? Did he get brain worms or somethi—ohhhhh
That and all the drugs, plus whatever bootleg steroid/testosterone cocktail he’s on.
I know steroids are generally not good for your body, but I would assume steroids at 70 is really really not good for your body.
To be honest - there’s something genetic or just the sheer clout of the family… as someone who grew up in Massachusetts George RR Martin’s quote about targaryens always rung true to me “Everytime one is born the gods flip a coin”… We’ve had JFK and Bobby, but also Big and Little Edie, RFK Jr and Ted. It’s fucking sad to see the offspring of one of America’s potentially most radical presidential candidates so fucking off the rails.
America had a high COVID death rate because of Donald Trump
The world had Covid because of his (in)actions. I wonder if it would have gotten far at all if we had maintained the systems in place we have before 2016. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9115435/
Not too sure of that, and I would never defend Trump. Fact is that COVID emerged around October of 2019. It was sequenced in December. Scientists developed a vaccine in early January 2020. It went into test then. Production availability started in December 2020. Biden took the distribution into high gear when entering office in 2021. Trump played no role Except being an idiot. Science saved ass.
He refused to quarantine, wouldn’t wear a goddamn mask, and he thought it was only going to be a blue cities problem so he didn’t care of it spread. He wanted covid to kill off blue (but probably real black and brown people who didn’t vote for him).
When they realized it was killing Floridians he pushed UV enemas, horse dewormer and injecting or drinking bleach.
That’s way more than being some kind of passive idiot.
Man I remember that time… Mainly because it suddenly got real hard or expensive to get your hands on horse dewormer. I should add that I used that to ensure that my horse had no worms at the time. That kind of dumb actually had impact even outside the US and just goes to show just how much damage that dumb fuck actually caused.
Of course, that was part of being an idiot. But, the message I responded to had to do with disease spread. It spread with time, but that time wasn’t taken by Trump. Did he make things worse? Sure
I usually try to apply Hanlon’s razor first, but the evidence that they expected covid to be a blue state problem since Boston, San Fransisco, and especially NYC, all had very bad initial outbreaks and high casualties in starting March of 2020, leads me to believe there was malice behind their choices.
How many Lemmy contributions does it take not to be able to follow a string and take comments out of context?
Three so far.
As I explained previously, I was responding to an issue of disease spread.
Read. Stop the knee jerk.
You’re saying all this like his sociopathic influence over millions of people, telling them masks don’t work, didn’t matter. It did.
Samoa had a high measles rate because of RFK.[1](https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/07/how-rfk-jr-falsely-denied-his-connection-to-a-deadly-measles-outbreak-in-samoa/) Maybe that’s why they get along?

500.000+ covid deaths is a healthy number under his administration.
WE FAVOR UNREASONABLY LARGE SUBSIDIES TO THE BRAIN WORM PLANET
ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD!
ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD
Free shots of bleach and UV rectal flashlights for everybody!
If there’s no lazily tossing paper towels into the crowd I’m not going.
Did he make that announcement while sharing some burger king and a bucket of KFC?
That’s just weird, right? I mean, who would do that, and why?
Seems so friggin weird to me.
It’s either this, or the couchfucker.
Yes. They’re really sending their best!
Hey, only fancy rich people can afford to cover their car in ambergris.
What smells like porpoise hork!?
Sadly, I don’t think it’s ambergris that was dripping down.
Says the guy with an actual fucking dead worm in his brain.
Robert F. Kennedy had posted this video narrated by Woody Harrelson where he was “setting the record straight” about his reputation and his views. I didn’t know him very well at the time. (I’m Canadian. I don’t follow everything about US politics and the various candidates.) And he had me convinced he wasn’t a bad guy at all. He presented himself as someone who fought for the environment. Someone who cared about working class Americans by defending some people against large corporations, etc.
However, the more I read about him, the worse it got. His position about the war in Ukraine. His position on the COVID vaccine. His past actions, like dumping a dead bear cub in central park (WTF, for real) among other things. He made some dumb decisions and took some positions that I didn’t agree with. And I realized he was too dangerous to be a world leader. But, I didn’t consider him as someone as fucking crazy as Trump.
But now… Him supporting Trump and saying he will “make Americans healthy”? Fucking hell. I didn’t think he’d drink the fucking Kool-Aid.
Like Obi-Wan said: “Who’s the more foolish. The fool, or the one who follows him?”
I don’t think he’s consumed the Kool-Aid. I think he’s disgusting and greedy enough to pass out the kool-aid to others for his own gain.
Dude has always been nuts. Behind the Bastards did a four parter on him. Goes into the history of the Kennedy’s as well. They were a strange messed up family.
An anti vaxxer is speaking about health?
An anti vaxxer with brain worms from eating undercooked roadkill is speaking about health, yes.
I’m a fat guy, so I’m not here to shame Trump for being fat. But my brother in christ, the man can’t keep himself healthy, let alone an entire fucking country.
But Trump stands for ‘White Coal’!
