      He prefers doing stuff like using a chainsaw to cut off rotten bits of whale, and then hauling them home on top of a car, with whale juice dripping down into the interior

    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

      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.

        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.

      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.

            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.

    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.
