Dana Bash on CNN calling the BS out
Him: You’re not a scientist
Her: NEITHER ARE YOU ^(emphasis added)^
And then he continues to barf up the same conspiracy theories and lies on repeat that have been swilling around (disproven/unproven) for the last 15 years
Until we get large cases all suing him direct for his harm he won’t stop. A single large case will sink him, no one cares about him. Trump and Co are only with him because he needed the votes and Harris wouldn’t allow him to join. Get a judge to rule it, bankruptcy can’t get out of it and poof… He would be so dead broke the entire U.S. billionaires would say wait? A Kennedy can’t afford a room?
(If you don’t think so, look at the state of the Giuliani family… and that’s when his side won)
He doesn’t even believe in germ theory of disease. It’s hard to think of a less qualified person to be secretary of health.
He has also said that the cause of AIDS is poppers, not HIV:
https://www.advocate.com/politics/robert-f-kennedy-jr-poppersGood fucking luck Americans.
So prove us wrong RFK, and take an injection of HIV.
Yeah, he can do that, and I’ll take poppers. The first one to contract AIDS will get $500,000 from Mr. Beast!
In the early HIV days, despite the identification of the virus, a clown at NIH destroyed his entire lab and reputation insisting HIV1 was not the cause, for years. I forgot his name because it should be forgotten.
He was hired to take revenge on the medical industry because Covid embarrassed Trump and probably caused him to lose the election.
I was so worried that covid would be the ultimate excuse for him to rally people over his failing policies and crashing economy (we were heading to depression / crash before covid!) Then he fucked up the easiest handout of public good and caused millions to needlessly die.
Then he fucked up the easiest handout of public good and caused millions to needlessly die.
Well you see he thought people in “blue cities” would be the ones to die and was 100% ok with that.
Yup. He was hired to take orders, not do good.
Which is crazy because for any sane president, covid amounted to serving up the election on a silver platter.
“Follow the guidance of the scientists and we’ll all get through this together.” would have gotten him north of 65% of the total votes, and probably near the Reagan/Mondale level of electoral college victory.
Yep, early on Trump said he was like a war time president because of covid. If he had kept that mentality and rallied to fight covid, he would have easily won that election.
He can believe or not believe however the fuck much he wants. I still don’t know why “belief” is used so interchangeably with understanding, by basically everyone. When this angonizing hemorrhoid says “I don’t believe in germ theory” what he really is saying is “I don’t understand germ theory”. Germs are there whether he believes or not.
They’re not using the word believe as in having a religious belief. Their using it in the very common, normal usage in which saying “I don’t believe X” is synonymous with saying “I don’t believe in the accuracy of X.”
Which, when faced with an absolute mountain of evidence, is still tantamount to “I don’t believe it”. You can say “I don’t think that’s accurate” but when the entire community of people responsible for checking accuracy tells you that it is accurate, that’s not disbelief, that’s denial in clown shoes.
I’m not saying they’re not idiots, but very few people if any can be said to understand most medical realities other than the most simple completely. There are plenty of people in the world that don’t understand germ theory who don’t say that they don’t believe it.
Wait if he doesn’t believe in germ theory, what the other fuck theory is there to believe in? Don’t tell me he’s a bloody miasmatist?
he is a miasmatist…
he is a miasmatist…
bad choice with Trump…
well he’s clearly dead inside
I think that he believes that people get sick because of [ insert alternative medicine here ], and then the microbes follow. So basically he inverts the arrow of causality, because as the interviewer points out, he is not a scientist.

That reminds me of Terrance Howard Math! The basics are so completely wrong that anything after it is already wrong.
It’s really super neat the way the radical right vilifies smart people while desperately pretending to be them. Very cool and stable worldview that will bring nothing but good things.
“you’re not a scientist with all your “research” and “peer reviewed studies” and stupid “evidence”! You’re not even wearing a lab coat! I’ve got a lab coat! You’ve got to respect me because my lab coat and my name tag says I’m a scientist! This guy doesn’t even have a name tag c’mon.”
/s hopefully obviously
“You think learning the specifics and intricacies and dedicating a chunk of your life to furthering your understanding of complex systems and decades navigating the rigors of academic study makes you a scientist or something?”
Also super neat that the non-radical right is just the Democratic leadership and the dead-fucking center get called the radical left and the actually slightly left are the Red Menace.
Sort of a tangent, but yeah. That checks out.
Though, if you’re looking for someone to blame, look no further than liberals and leftists.
Liberals, because in the 90s their big plan was to become indistinguishable from republicans. Well, in a two party system the two choices have to be different in some way shape of form, and the Clintonistas really only gave the GOP one direction to move. They KNEW this would happen and assumed it meant the GOP would become unelectable (see: Clinton 2016 campaign) instead of systematically destroying the USA. WHOOPS!
The left because we pre-compromising and always presenting the reasonable option first which leaves no room for negotiation other than to veer away from reasonable. If one side of the table is saying “tax the rich fairly” and the others is saying “hunt the poor for sport”, the outcome is going to be somewhere in the middle.
Same mistake twice, really.
It sounds like you think the Left has a giant majority.
Mamdani ran as a ‘democratic socialist’ and barely got 51% of the vote in the Bluest city in america. He was running against a scandal ridden Centrist and a Mid-Right shock jock.
Harris got 65% of the vote. Mamdani did worse in both actual numbers of votes and percentages.
It sounds like you think the Left has a giant majority.
based on?
i feel like the “Center” is more center right than not.
At their core they don’t believe in merit. They believe in birthright.
The astounding progress humanity has made in the past few centuries doesn’t happen without oppurtunity being, in some way, distributed based on merit. No country on Earth is a true meritocracy but the standard until very recently was feudalism where you’re either born lucky or you’re not.
For some right wing folk, there’s not a lot to offer on the basis of merit so they’d rather move back to the coinflip model being lucky even if they have little to offer.
Look at RFK - does he really have anything to offer besides his name?
How can you share something this juicy and not provide the video?

I have to say that until I went looking for this video I had never heard him speak… What the heck is with his voice?
He developed spasmodic dysphonia (involuntary larynx contractions) in 1996 at age 42.
It was caused by eating tainted hippopotamus meat. He had hit the hippo while driving a mack truck near Pablo Escobar’s compound in the middle of the night, pursued by paramilitary forces. He returned 2 days later under cover of darkness to eat its liver and testicles, which an alternative health guru told him contained antioxidants and hormones that could prevent aging. He wound up about a week later in an El Salvadoran prison after rampaging through various towns in Colombia, Panama, and El Salvador causing property damage to several farmers’ vegetable stalls, soiling himself repeatedly, and accosting locals. Eye witnesses report that he had the voice at the time of these incidents. The US had him extradited soon after agreeing that they’d try him, but they dropped the charges on administrative grounds almost immediately.
That’s probably not true - no one really knows why spasmodic dysphonia happens. Seems to be something to do with your Basal Ganglia.
great yarn there lol
they really had me going there!
Sounded like a McAfee story for a bit. Nicely done.
That’s probably not true
You really had me going! Close enough to the truth I guess. Not why he has spasmodic dysphonia, but plenty of similar shit he pulled.
Very good lol
classic RFK, of course he would get an infection/parasite that causes his voice. he will eat any animals he sees. do you ever wonder if he would eat crows, vultures or a raven? he was in a manic phase looking for exotic animal meat.
hippos are dangerous dead or alive it seems.
I mentioned to an acquaintance that this guy seems like an avatar of plague, and he was like “It’s funny, most of his ideas are good.” then went on to list some absolutely crazy bad takes. Clearly this guy is not the one to take health advice from.
he looks like worms using skin suit.
Supraphysiologic dosing of testosterone will do that. That and really really really tiny balls.
Clearly Hegseth is war. Who’s famine and death? Maybe Brooke Rollins for famine.
Which one is responsible for (de)regulating the fossil fuel industry causing crops to die from climate change?
I’d say Miller is death.
hes an apostate, of anti-crhist(thiel)
wouldnt it be conquest/ or pollution.
What a cringe fest.
I hate watching these idiots. His entire repertoire is classic pseudo science grift.
He allegedly has a medical condition. But these people lie all the time.
holy shit, how did we get from JFK to this douchenozzle.
Holy crap the comment section is ROUGH
Wow you weren’t kidding. It’s like they invaded it lol. I wonder who sent them all there.

Eh.
Republicans crash out 24/7/365. Doesn’t matter. Our system is too flawed to hold them accountable and our populace is too stupid to prevent them from having power.
What does crashing out matter if you still get to run the show? I guess eventually the show collapses. But then we’re all fucked because the system crashes.
I’ve been watching Republicans crash out my entire life. Doesn’t matter when the populace is this braindead stupid.
Exactly. Nothing is fucking happening to any of these people that demonstrate how unfit for office they are every time they open their mouths. It creates a feeling of helplessness and a fury that will not subside without accountability.
You know what would really make Republicans crash out?
Democrats winning an election and not making a pithy response.
Don’t you mean 24/7/52?
But he plays one
on TVin government!The top comments on that YouTube video are insane
How many do you think are people?
Eleventy
That a lot of people
Big if true
Every time he talks it sounds like a boomer reading SaRcAsTiC TeXt

He sounds like a blown out speaker inside a Ford.
JAFFA KREE!
Man, that hype campaign for the new toxic avenger movie is getting out of hand.
He’s the anti-scientist for Christ’s sake!
This is a classic example of that “protests too much” Shakespeare line.
Yeah but like, what that mean tho?
no one know what it means, but it’s provocative
“Every accusation is a confession” is a close parallel
Oh, it’s easier with the whole line. Here you go:
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

It’s not your fault there’s so much stupid shit everywhere. Hang in there man and keep the comments flowing
There’s so many snacks to eat and cute people to talk to and games to play and kittens to pet in this world.
