RFK Jr. is Stupid as Hell

No, it does the fuck not.  Not a lot. Not any. 

Literally none.

He could look this shit up, you know. He could ask somebody competent who works with viruses. He could realize there's just some stuff he doesn't know, leave it the hell be, and call it a day. There's a lot of things I don't understand. I can't split the fucking atom, okay? 

But then there's Bobby Big Britches, with a big dumb crazy-eyed straight face:

"Don't take the vaccines! They're full of DEAD BABY!" (PS--it's very QAnon-friendly.)

This is the kind of fear-and horror-invoking nonsense you get from the kind of pud-whittling midwit who truly believes there's a grand conspiracy to make planes shit health-altering chemicals out of their backends because he can't comprehend a simple concept like "Planes high, air cold." 

Honest to God we're in the fucking ENDARKENMENT over here. And what's worse is--I don't know that he's that stupid because there are just rotten-souled propagandists who will say ANYTHING no matter how screwed up for attention and political influence. 

What do we do with the dark folks?  Grab a goddamn torch. 

RFK, Jr. Promises What Science Can't

 

RFK Jr: "By September we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we will be able to eliminate those exposures." pic.twitter.com/gSDVvsD9CH

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 10, 2025

You might have to read the title of the blog post more than once--it isn't complimenting Kennedy on what he claims will happen in a matter of months, but rather, if he gets an "answer' in that time, it won't be about the science. Mostly because everything he's saying is wrong.

We don't have an autism epidemic; we have a diagnosis epidemic. We don't lack for research. There are multiple genes and epigenetic factors involved. You can't "eliminate" all potential exposures related to something that has multiple causes. 

Also, and this is important: the way Kennedy speaks about eliminating exposure to a "cause" of autism makes me very concerned about what he thinks about autistic people, that the people expressing aspects of the autism spectrum are broken or less-then. 

A TrumpWorld Cabinet of Curiosities

 

Pictures often are worth a thousand words--take a look at the picture above of Elon Musk, standing, not seated at the table, while Donald Trump is not even at the head of the table, but slumped, unnoticed by anyone, apparently drifting off to sleep. Just a podgy senior citizen with his hands in his lap, while everyone is listening to the real boss, who has not even bothered to put on a suit for the occasion but is dressed, as he generally is, like some close approximation an adolescent might make at adult clothing. He threw on a big-boy jacket over his play-clothes. 

It's not exactly The Last Supper, but what if I told you one of these folks assembled would betray Trump and every last one of them had eaten of his body and blood? 

We are getting on to a political Carnival. Lent for you, and Fat Tuesday for rich motherfuckers forever, so I felt like sprinkling a little Catholic consciousness over the above tableau. Also, I am very, very mean. 

I thought to myself when I perused Twitter's commentariat regarding the first cabinet meeting that what we were looking at was a Dunning-Kruger Group Therapy session where no one realized what their problem was and no one was getting any better. 

Congratulations to the Viral Community

 

I know I've never had a really good word to say about Covid-19, HIV, Ebola, any of the avian flus, but I have got to hand it to them--somehow their guy Bobby wound up getting confirmed as the Secretary of Health and Human Services. I mean, measles, mumps, and rubella? We thought you were down and out, but it looks like you're tipping champagne bottles tonight because we've got us a Wakefield truther. 

Who knows? Maybe smallpox or polio can come on in for a bow, because conspiracy theories and barely informed opinions have just won the consent of the GOP Senate--except for Mitch McConnell, who knows first-hand what polio is about.  But couldn't seem to convey that reality to his GOP brethren and, um cistern (is that what we call Murkowski and Collins? I forget).

I think it's great if people eat more healthfully.  I, unlike RFK Jr, can admit to not having eaten fast food for a very long while. My version of the Mediterranean diet includes a little salumi, though. My oil of choice comes from the olive pit. Good luck on weaning Americans off canola and high-fructose corn syrup (there is a lobby against you). 

But here's my very important problem with RFK, Jr. He's a dumbass who just implied Trump was sent by God. Because Trump had the courage and intelligence to put RFK Jr. in charge of something to do with health. And you know, hearing that, I could almost believe Bobby was born in a manger. 

And raised outdoors his whole life like an ignorant animal. 

Land of a Thousand Outbreaks

 

We've been looking at the avian flu situation for a few years, so I guess what I want people to know about what we are looking at with respects to future outbreaks or epidemic situations, what we have got is not a "plandemic" in the conspiracy-fueled mindset of people who feel like masks and vaccines and the like are social control mechanisms fueled by some Big Pharma control or whatever.  You know who has cared about avian flu? People who care about birds. We used to have a birdfeeder out back of Strangely Estates. Then, we realized it might not be a great idea to have random birds congregating together if we couldn't regularly ensure we were cleaning out old feed, rinsing off poo, etc. 

We still have the birdbath up. It's heated. We get starlings, cardinals, jays. I don't know if it's a good thing or not. I understand there's a lot of risk with avian flu re: waterfowl. I look forward to the seasonal influx of geese along the Delaware. I don't want to see what I think we will. There's a good chance H5N1 and H5N9 are everywhere. This is why there are higher egg prices and massive bird livestock culls--but we are also seeing H5N1 in dairy cattle herds. 

The Kennedy Hearing was Ugly

 

When your own family thinks you are a weird conspiracy freak who is uniquely unqualified and literally call you a grifting predator, well, that's probably bad news, right? 

But when quizzing by US Senators demonstrates you don't know Medicare from Medicaid and have not just trimmed your public pronouncements to suit your audience but are a legal grifter profiting off of your own BS (as Sen. Warren demonstrated), well, that hurts to be aired publicly, in so many words, doesn't it? 

Or maybe it doesn't.

This guy gave himself a brainworm from consuming roadkill, admits to dumping a bear corpse in a public park, seems sketchy about how germ theory works, has no medical or scientific background whatsoever, has opinions about the AIDS virus and vaccines that would have been shameful and out of date 25 years ago, let alone today, and yet?

He's got influence in his corner. Why they want him, I don't know. You might think people would want someone who isn't a whole fucking flake in an important position like Secretary of Health and Human Services--

Unless you just aren't that interested in health and will be goddamned if you see it as a basic human service. 

So, What is Going on on Twitter?

No nano technology was used to post this reply, but without RNA, our DNA would not still be here. It didn't need nanotechnology to get us here and never will. MRNA vaccines are made with messenger RNA--biological code.

 We are not being linked by our cell phones to a super collider connected to Satanism for some weird reason. Not sure who we have to explain this to. (But for the love of all that makes sense, 5G is just what comes after 4G which comes after 3G--the "G" is for "generation.")

These are the kinds of people who reject vaccines. 

No, We Most Definitely are NOT

 

Senator-elect Jim Banks on RFK Jr: "This country is ready for a big debate about vaccines." pic.twitter.com/UAxv6pMmvf

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) December 13, 2024

This country is not ready for a debate on vaccines. Vaccines are not a debate topic. This is like debating whether the earth is round. They aren't political. They aren't something any jackaloon with a big old opinion should have a dopey say-so about. They are being made political by chiclet-heads.

Wait. I take that back. That's needlessly insulting to gum. 

RFK. Jr. is working with a lawyer who petitioned to "revoke approval of the polio vaccine."

The polio vaccine. When I was growing up, if there was a medical Mount Rushmore, Jonas Salk would've been on it. It's safe. It virtually eradicated a genuinely terrifying disease. 

Triumph of the Swill: TrumpWorld Edition

 

Once a long time ago, I wrote about the Triumph of the Swill.  We are right back here, swilling it again. Did you know that Russia did disinfo HARD on matters regarding anti-vaxx? The exact thing that RFK Jr., who was put up to it by Mike Flynn, would entirely be about if in office? Because I have to know that.--I am letting you know that. Also, did you know that Lil' Miss supposedly anti-war Tulsi Gabbard thinks Russia had to address the lying ass biowarfare sites bullshit that was obviously all made up? 

Of all the things that piss me off about TrumpWorld, it is that too many people stand ready to absorb absolute nonsense shot directly at their faceholes through altogether stupidly transparently dumbass fake news outlets. 

We've been under attack for a good long while. Someone like Elon Musk, who really does not want anyone to consider whether he's got any foreign influence, seems to have spread disinfo to affect the US election. 

As the Worm Turns...

 

TrumpWorld has gained the endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. For what it's worth.

It's the endorsement of a conspiracy theorist who staged an accident for a dead bear cub, but not before posing with his hand in it's mouth, a man who allows it is possible there may be multiple claims of sexual harassment of assault against him, who had a brain worm because maybe he does eat roadkill--but vaccines are bad kids! and who is basically disowned by his family and his former party. 

TrumpWorld thinks this is a big "get". Or at least, they are advertising as one. 

This is what they mean by "winning." 

It was always a ratfuck. Bob Kennedy was always a rodent dildo. 

The Weird Problem

 

Some conservatives are pushing back on claims that JD Vance and Donald Trump and maybe a lot of other Republicans are "weird"--but I'm sorry, it is what it is. I get that Republicans have put a lot of stock in saying they represent "Real America (TM)" and the cosmopolitan Big City Lefty Liberal Arugula-Eaters with Their Fancy Brown Mustard and Priuses and pronouns are oddball hippie Comsymps or whatever, But right off the bat, deciding lettuce, Grey Poupon and parts of speech are weird--is weird.

Being really mad at the Olympics because you were told Christianity was being insulted when the opening show had nothing to do with Christianity and demanding others agree with you--is weird.

Smashing coffee makers or shooting cases of Bud Lite because a talk show host told you to be mad is weird. 

Pretending to be a party of small government but wanting to track women's menses, stop them from travelling, or wanting to take inventory of people's pee parts before they can use a public restroom, is weird.

Wanting women to carry dead fetuses is weird, and ghoulish. 

Trump Called RFK, Jr. and Talked About "Winning"

 

BREAKING: In a stunning leak, Robert F. Kennedy Jr and Donald Trump appear to be colluding, with Trump saying “we will win”. This is totally corrupt. Retweet so all Americans know RFK Jr. is nothing more than a spoiler candidate working to help Trump.pic.twitter.com/QGJteOOx2u

— Biden’s Wins (@BidensWins) July 16, 2024

Here are the workings of a con--Trump is fluffing up RFK Jr. by discussing his pet bugbear--that vaccinations are dangerous (using the VERY debunked Wakefield canard), let's him know they are in it together, and that there is something in it for him.

Of course they are colluding--Republican donors are supporting measures to get third-party candidates on the ballot in hopes of diluting the Democratic vote.  They are hoping nostalgic Boomers or other people who think favorably of the Kennedy clan will miss the fact that NONE of the Kennedy's support RFK Jr. and he's actually both a kook and a heel (sex pest). And a grifter.

Trump doesn't mind offering a possible position to Kennedy--hell, he's a little something of a kook, a sex pest and a grifter himself. It's like a professional courtesy.

Tell everyone--a vote for third party is a vote for Trump. RFK Jr. running is a purposeful scam.

Zippy Wants Your Money

 

In the time it took me to ride this zipline in the mountains of Colorado, the national debt increased by $837,163.

Our sky-high national debt stands at nearly $35 trillion as of today. Interest payments on that debt are now larger than the entire defense budget, and within ten… pic.twitter.com/A6g9Ta8FSe

— Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) May 25, 2024

Now, you could find yourself saying "Bob!  Bobbaleh! Bobbabooey! Bobtollah! Didn't you pick a rich idiot as your running mate so you didn't have to reference the national debt to infer someway somewhere, bitches need to make up for a money crunch?"  What are you going to do for the debt, Bobbo? 

No one knows. Probably some shit to do with Bitcoin or the like. 

 What I do know is his advisor on criminal justice and Black outreach just stepped down.

I think it's pretty weird we have a political campaign where nobody has the same positions on things like reproductive care.  I think it's pretty weird that one of Kennedy's main backers is also a Trump backer--Tim Mellon. 

But the weirdest thing of all is--does Bob know where he lives? Because he seems to have been voting from a house that is in foreclosure in NY, and isn't his main residence at all? 

"Where do you live?" isn't supposed to be a trick question! 

RFK Jr. and the Parasites

 

Although "brain worms" has become an amusing internet slang for someone whose cognition is more compost than mentos, I want to take the idea of brain worms very seriously. We just don't know what we might inhale or ingest from a swimming hole, a neti pot, or undercooked fish or pork. The risk to your health is real from a parasitic infection. 

And I won't reduce this blog post to scoffing at RDK, Jr,. (Rodent Dildo Kennedy, Jr.) to making fun of what might have occurred in his brain, what with the brain worms, the mercury poisoning, or the lasting effects of heroin abuse. And whether any of that contributed to his behavior regarding the suicide of his former wife. After all, it was his excuse for why he couldn't figure out how to pay his ex-wife's alimony, because his brain worms prevented him from stable work and all. And it could have very probably been through his own, miserable, small, licentious and shitty actions that his ex-wife lost her sanity and life from his pure selfish bullshit. That part might not have been due to brain worms but being an actual piece of shit as a human. 

But we are supposed to believe he can be president? Shouldn't he take a cognitive test, like Donald Trump has done, to let us know if he can tell what hands represent on a clock or which animal is a giraffe? Because admitting that cognitive effects can result from a brain worm infection and taking it seriously definitely means--taking that seriously. 

And if RDK Jr has a cognitive problem that prevents him from understanding that he is in fact, a rodent dildo, we can, of course, feel a bit bad about that. We can acknowledge the evidence is very clear to people with eyes in their head, and no worms whatsoever. Maybe the worm ate the exact part of his brain that would have let him understand that he is a spoiler that would help undermine democracy.

It also alienates him from most of his family. That has to be excruciating. (Still his quixotic run persists.)  Maybe that's why he spouts Russian propaganda and undermines acknowledged science. 

I can be moved to terrible pity. But I fear the result of people who continue to take him seriously. This revelation would be a glorious opportunity for him to recognize why he does not, in fact, need to run for president. He should spend more time with whatever family he has that can still stand him. 

Happy St. Pats to Everyone but RFK Jr.

 

Sometimes an entire family is needed to properly slap a cabbage-headed man into something like reality, but also, it hardly works when he's long been away with the fairies. Some people have noted that despite the talk of anti-vax RFK. Jr. selecting anti-vax sports figure Aaron Rodgers as his running mate, he's liable to declare some wealthy idiot named Nicole Shanahan who has enough money to maybe get him on some ballots as his running mate. 

I guess I don't know for sure she's an idiot. I guess it depends on whether she agrees to be the Kennedy idiot's running mate. For all I know, the idiot he runs with is Jesse Ventura, although, despite his lad working for RT, I never thought Ventura was quite that kind of idiot, except possibly in the "fire doesn't melt steel bars" kind of way. 

Anyway cheers to St. Pat, who got the snakes out of Ireland. I truly would love it if there was a saint who would ger the sheer idiots out of politics. But I am proud to support Joe Biden because of his anti-malarkism. 

It's a brilliant start. 

Your Moment of WTF, With RFK Jr.

I'm beginning to wonder if he isn't anti-vaxx because he also doesn't understand germ theory.

UPDATE: Viruses are our friends. 

UPDATE: The reason I'm a little hyper-focused on a probably-unwell man with obvious crackpot fragments embedded in the middens that are his mind, is because there are people who become enamored by charisma and backstory. I'm sure he's sunk by now. You're probably certain he's sunk by now. 

And yet obviously unwell and not terribly bright people with the benefit of fame, money, and the strategic backing of terrible people often prosper well ahead of expectations. It's not enough for me to think he's sinking, you understand. It's also about the ideas he's been put out there to promote. Skepticism of the government and the concept of expertise. The disgraceful anti-vax absurdity that threatens to bring diseases thought virtually eradicated back into play. And his support of bitcoin as a backing for the dollar. 

How do you back the dollar with nothing, let alone a nothing that is created by many, many acres of rainforest's worth of burnt carbon fuels--and still be called remotely environmentalist?  It is not itself obviously at this point in the game even a stable currency. And only a fool or a major Bitcoin investor could think otherwise or oh.  Maybe a bit of both? 

I want the feedback energy on his epic fail to reverb back on all the bullshit he's on about and cut it back to stumps. Right back to the RW ops who tried to send him this way. 

"A Malignant Clownshow"

 

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries made the exact correct assessment of today's assault on truth by calling it "a malignant clown show". Exactly--a notorious crank was invited to speak by Republicans to pretend that censorship was a problem, and my word. This man is a bristling waste of time and attention. The House GOP decided to give a virulent (literally!) dope a platform to just lie on, rather vividly demonstrating why not all people deserve a platform. If RFK, Jr. was not a scion of a famous Democratic political dynasty, he'd be more obviously understood to be a crank, but OH MAN! he really still is, by Democrats.

It's Republicans who really want to hear the man talk about why vaccines are exactly like the Holocaust. They don't see why that is a problem for them. 

Now, RFK JR. seems to recognize that the things he has said are problematic, because when confronted with them, he pretends he never said such things. He denies making anti-Semitic statements. He's the whole hell on video more than once being anti-Semitic at this point. He denies being anti-vax despite um, all the evidence of his being anti-vax. 

Rep. Stacey Plasket explained that the GOP have a motive in allowing disinformation to spread. Rep. Gerry Connolly called RFK basically a pro-GOP op to his face. Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz threw his own words back in his face, and man, he did not like that.

He even went on FOX News to cry about how his words, by being quoted to him verbatim, were twisted to make him the asshole. As if he never heard himself before. 

All his testimony demonstrated was that he resonated more with Republicans than Democrats, and the things he said kind of demonstrated the problem isn't censorship--it's platforming. Do you platform any old weirdo for whatever reason? Does it matter that they are a part of a political dynasty or whatever?

No. Obviously no. The House GOP were trying to troll Democrats by putting this whole ass fool on, and I do not think it worked for them at all. He demonstrated why fools are only good for fooling, but can't be taken seriously. 

I am unsurprised that the GOP did not understand that going in. 

RFK Jr. and the Interesting Answer (F*cktons of UPDATES)

 

Great example of a friendly interview eliciting an illuminating answer. RFK Jr’s ideological ally, Sherri “Covid vaccines make you a magnet” Tenpenny, challenged him on his “I’m not anti-vaxx” line. RFK says he doesn’t know of any “safe” vaccines & his kids are vaccine injured. pic.twitter.com/2vPcLsuHba

— Brandy Zadrozny (@BrandyZadrozny) June 28, 2023

So much for the "He's not anti-vaxx" argument. It's a case of automated rolling goalposts. An argument like "Oh, I just think they all need to be tested against a placebo" sounds great, unless you realize most are. Double-blind tests against a control are pretty standard. But when our guy claims that vaccine research led to AIDS and the Spanish Flu. we're in bark at the moon territory.  

Some might say it's not news that RFK Jr. has been promoted by Steve Bannon, but it is important to know he's backed with MAGA money.  Again, folks--this is a ratfuck, and for some reason, the MAGAs have decided RFK Jr. is their chosen tin-foil wrapped rodent dildo.

But is the rodent dildo made of cream cheese? See, when he decides to speak with the Liberty Mommies, that's sketchy as all hell. For Democrats.

But what I want to know is, does Donald Trump have the stones to debate him? I mean, if the Democrats are sure not to back RFK Jr. because he's got the wrong opinions on Ukraine and Russia, science* in general, etc.--maybe he could seek acceptance elsewhere?

Fuck "Debates", Joe Rogan, And RFK, Jr.

 

Why is my dismal aspect showing Jordan Peterson and RFK JR.? Why, it's because I think this child-brained silver-spoon dipshit was groomed to be the most appalling kind of gadfly buzzing around Democratic politics--a red-pilled basic Alex Jones level bitch. He believes something in the water is making people trans and gay. 

He isn't just an Andrew Wakefield level busted ass bitch, but a Peter Duesberg busted ass bitch.  What this dumbass supports has already been well and truly debunked and disproved in real life. 

He popped off about the Covid vaccine (which has saved many lives, and thanks, science!) and once pronounced that the Covid-19 vaccine would kill all of us who took it somehow. I've been jabbed four times. You tell me how I am still here.  5G towers are mind control, Fauci and Bill Gates made Covid-19 for some kind of underpants gnomes kind of profit, blah blah blah.

Things You See on Twitter About Foreign Policy

 

I just screen capped a thing you can click to embiggen, which is pretty much the state of the stupid horseshoe fringe--Ann Coulter re-tweeting Max Blumenthal fluffing RFK Jr. because he's excoriating US policy supporting Ukraine's self-defense against the Russian invasion, because of course Kennedy is wrong because he's full of himself and of course Blumenthal is a useful idiot who spouts Russian propaganda anymore and Ann Coulter is, and always has been, an utter bitch. 

I used to wonder what happened to Max Blumenthal. Did he experience a conversion experience because he wanted in Rania Khalek's pants or WTF? I used to speculate. How do you hate Israel apartheid and also think maybe Bashar Al-Assad is misunderstood? He was a good journalist for a whole minute. But look at Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He used to be a credible-ish environmentalist. Now he's an anti-science crackpot who sucks up to the dictators of petrostates and basically has the worst opinions in existence. 

RFK Jr. talks in front of cultists who think maybe his cousin JFK Jr, is a five o'clock shadow dipshit with a porkpie hat who has no resemblance other than white and brown haired. This does not seem to faze him. 

I have never wondered what happened to Ann Coulter. Oh, no. I never, ever, ever have. She's her own thing, all daddy issues and GOP manly hero-worship aside. If she has a Putin fetish I would not wonder at it for a second. 

Anyway, Ann Coulter, Max Blumenthal, and RFK, Jr, and for what it's worth Dennis Kucinich, can all go autocopulate until they are desperately chafed. Their weird fringe "bold" controversial, contrarian opinions are only relevant to their wankery, not to anything happening in the actual world we live in, where Russia is trying to commit genocide and Ukraine is fighting against that because of course they are, and being a democratic nation that has some kind of morals, the US should oppose that. 

People who don't understand that basic calculus flunk my tolerance right now. If you don't know Russia is the bad guy and more than diplomacy is required (like making Russia bleed because bullies only know that language) you are wasting our time with wishful thinking. There is no negotiation that is not some degree of surrender, and a pass for future violence.  Fuck off Tinkerbells. Ask not for who I clap, it is not the entire fuck for you. Who have shitty opinions with no stake at all, at all.
