-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

"Drinks an entire pint of boiled Gatorade every day for "activated electrolytes" when questioned about why he was wearing a full WWI German officer uniform at a Tyler the Creator press interview he stumbled into uninvited"

He said that [...] he witnessed a woman in a van fatally strike the bear [...] he scooped up the dead bear and put it in his own van, planning to later skin it and eat it.

anyone have RFK Jr recounting accessory vehicular ursicide to Roseanne on their bingo card?

"I went out of my way to collect roadkill with the intention of consuming it, but later decided to illegally dump it instead" is among the tamer sentences that's come out of his mouth.

RFK Jr's brain is less intact that JFK's at this stage

Really is a shame we never got a debate with him, Biden, and Trump

Worm brain, oatmeal brain, and no brain

I wondered "how the hell does a rich old white guy in modern day America get literal brainworms" when that story dropped, but now I can see how in his case

Dude just cannot stop eating meat he found on the ground.

The worm ate the part of his brain responsible for avoiding more worms.

How do you get a bear to central park in the first place?

edit: he picked up someone else's roadkill to eat it then decided to dump it? the actual fuck

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Your honor I only picked up the roadkill to eat it because the worm in my head was telling me to do it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Worm wanted friends.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago

Picking up fresh roadkill may be the most normal thing he's done. What he did afterwards is pretty weird, though.

OUR PRESIDENT cat-com

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

At this point the worm is just delving his memory is and testing the waters to see what human behaviors are acceptable

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

RFK also 'told a story to journalists about being ambushed in a bow-and-arrow attack by Indigenous people during a 1974 whitewater rafting trip in Peru' (never happened)

We may never know if this one is true or not lmao

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why does everything this man does sound fake?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

When your origin story is literally, "brain worm", either your story peaked too early or its just the start of a wild ride.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

his literal origin story gives brainworm a run for its money.

he graduated law school, waltzes into a sweetheart gig in the Manhattan DAs office, flunks the bar exam, has to leave the DAs office and then winds up arrested in Rapid City, South Dakota busted with a felony quantity of cocaine. the geography alone blows my mind.

and he walks with public service, to be completed back home.

the guy is the quintessential Kennedy.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And that bear's name?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ok listen, this might seem bad, but if you had as much heroin in your system and as many worms wiggling around your brain as I did at the time, you would have found the bear dumping hilarious too.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

Too bad the bear wasn't alive to eat him.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

That's it, i'm no longer voting for him

Why are American poltics so weirdos?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

5th generation failsons who no longer have the wherewithal to hold the empire together anymore because they're too busy lobotomizing or trying to fuck their daughters.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Stop trying to make him sound cool

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I didn't even know RFK Jr. was gay!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Indeed, the bear cub caused quite a stir when it was found in the park in 2014, as reported in The New York Times in an article coincidentally written by Tatiana Schlossberg, a reporter for The Times at that time, and the daughter of Mr. Kennedy’s first cousin Caroline Kennedy.

It's a big club, and you ain't in it
