Everything I hear about that guy is worse each time
The actual self quote is so much worse than the headline
“I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be,” he wrote, reportedly reflecting on strained relationships with his brother Douglas Kennedy and cousin Bobby Shriver. “My kids waited patiently in the car.”
Holy...
This might be weirder than the time he bragged about his immunity and fearlessness of germs in the context of cocaine and a public toilet seat. But I forget how that goes.
Where does it rank relative to strapping a whale head to the roof of the minivan, dripping whale goo on his family?
Or the time he dumped a dead bear cub in central park and staged it to look like a bicycle accident. That was only 12 years ago

The only things I've heard are from here on lemmy and it's obvious I don't need to look more into him, he's somehow managed to go a whole universe beyond the fever dream that's the current US situation. I almost like these posts because it's all so unbelievable and weird in a way that isn't so deeply morally corrupt like the, what's now normal, billionaire oligarch pedophilia. It's fucked up in a parody way. But as said, I haven't looked deeper at all, I have no idea if he's part of that too so please correct me if I'm wrong.
Not to make it worse but did you hear he’s the health secretary??
I keep thinking about that guy that had to shutter his political career because of one awkward yell at a campaign rally. Or Al Franken. How did we get from there to here?
Imagine being 18 years old and this kind of insanity is all you’ve ever known.
AND WERE GOONG TO WHITE HOUSE ! HEYAAH
Fucking classic
Honestly I’d give my left testicle to even have John McCain back in office. I didn’t like that guy but atleast when he talked about Obama he said something like “no he’s not a Muslim and he’s not going to ruin the country. He’s a fine man we just disagree “
Or something like that.
I’d trade trump for McCain right now if it was an option.
So I agree WTF happened to politics! They aren’t even trying to be shady anymore.
We know the government doesn’t have aliens now atleast because trump would have announced it, say he found them, and name the species after himself.
Trump told a lot of stupid, hateful people that their bigotry and ignorance weren't merely justified, they were righteous in their beliefs
He told them that their hatred made them better than the people they fear
He promised them that he would hurt the people they dislike, and they're hoping that they'll get to hurt them too
And too many people in the US are stupid, ignorant, afraid and full of hatred
I wish I could find the video but I could swear I saw an interview with Dean admitting it wasn't actually the scream that ended his campaign but instead was more traditional reasons like polling numbers. The media just sensationalized the scream. It may have been a daily show interview but i can ~~'t~~ definitively say.
[edit] found it right around the 5:30 mark he explains the reasoning.
“I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be,” he wrote, reportedly reflecting on strained relationships with his brother Douglas Kennedy and cousin Bobby Shriver. “My kids waited patiently in the car.”
This wins the Not the Onion gold medal
It has been said that in times of trouble, the arts flourish. I don't know how true that is, but of all the tributes I've seen to the batshit crazy that is RFK Jr, I think our own @Formfiller@lemmy.world has captured RFK Jr's true self best in the most fitting artistic memorialization I've seen yet:

Somehow this guy is even more deranged to me than Trump (EU perspective). How in the ever living fuck does this dude get to have any say on healthcare? How can even the most sycophantic republican see this guy bathe in shit and necrophilia/bestiality crossover some roadkill, and think "yeah, this man gives good advice on healthy living"???
They want us all to get sick and die so the United States fails.
Trump hates this country that always meddled in his affairs and then broke up his pedo-influence ring, leading him to kill his best friend to cover up what he knew. It’s like an opera to that old queen-in-denial, and as a narcissistic sociopath he can’t not get his revenge. “Don’t worry Jeffry, I’ll take them all down for what they made me do to you”
All the little toadies in the admin think that if they usher in the apocalypse they’ll be raptured into heaven and never have to deal with the rest of us and our needs again.
All the billionaires watched this guy cheat his way to the top and since they’ve all done it to one degree or another they think it’s a great opportunity to make more money (and for some, it has been)
RFK Jr has had half his brain eaten by a worm.
Don't forget the rotting whale head he strapped to the top of his car on a family outing.
Or the dead bear he casually dropped in Central Park
of the creek of shit he decided to swim in with his kids. American health is literally up shit's creek.
TOTALLY NORMAL.
WE'VE ALL HAD HOLIDAYS LIKE THAT.
TOTALLY REGULAR URGE TO KEEP THE PENISES OF ROADKILL FOR CLOSER STUDY LATER.
We won't know if it was killed on the road until we examine its penis.
That doesn't bother me at all. I come from a biologist family, and this is unusual, but not morally wrong, and it speaks to curiosity. Unfortunately, his curiosity didn't extend to developing a working understanding of science or biology, and he turned into a conspiracy theorist with a complete lack of self-criticism.
So now, instead of becoming a scientist, he's destroying the practice of science in the USA.
What kinda Jeffrey Dahmer bullshit is this?

“… so anyway you guys wanna see my roadkill penis collection?
As far as a hobby goes it’s got some stiff competition! Hah!
But anyways do you?”
RFK thinks cutting a raccoon penis makes him like Leonardo da Vinci but it actually makes him more like Buffalo Bill.
Please don't disparage Bill's good name like that.
Any penis can be detachable if you put in the work. Detachable Peeenis
/seriously though, wtf
I think the implication in the song is that it was detachable more than once.
Reattachable penis
this guy that plays with animal corpses is going to grow up one day to be a serial killer.
Tom Green humped a dead moose. Does that qualify him to be the surgeon general?
Tom Green would be profoundly better as the surgeon general.
The dead moose would be profoundly better as the surgeon general.
That man ain’t right, I tell you what.
He is going to hollow out the baculum and use it to snort drugs
That might actually be among the saner explanations

Um, if the sin is amputating deceased animal dicks, well then... Whips rock at RFK

Yes "to study later", in his room, alone, blind closed, red wine and lines of coke
