I figured they'd take Kennedy out back and shoot him, or or whatever it is they do with useless endorsements after an election, having already secured his crank base's support, but they really let him in to fuck things up lol. I'm sometimes comforted by the fact that Trump and his sycophants are genuinely morons despite all the harm they cause. They must to some extent be true believers in this garbage.
The US regime is pro-eugenics. RFKjr furthers the cause.

Me too. I'm shocked that they didn't. Trump's standard operating procedure is to quickly discard anybody not useful to him.

It can be hard to impossible to know what's going on in the deep, dark, scary void that's Trump brain but if it's not some level of belief in Leatherface Kennedy's beliefs - what is it?
Or it's Occam's razor. He is stupid, old, diseased, and forgets where he is and what he's doing daily.
Trump's top aide sighs. It's Monday again.
"Mr. President - I'm giving you your reminder. You said quote 'Every Monday you gotta remind me to fire RFK Jr. Shouldda done it before.' unquote."
"I said that?"
"Yes - you did."
"It sounds like me. Say it again."
"Every Monday you gotta remind me to fire RFK Jr. Shouldda done it before."
"Yeah. Me."
"I have the documentation right here. It just needs your signature."
"What? For what?"
"I am going to go into the kitchen and bring you back an extra cold Diet Coke."
"Gotta be extra cold Diet Coke."
"Yes sir."
The aide leaves the room. As he heads to the kitchen - right then he decides he has had more than enough of this. He's going to use the autopen when nobody else is around. He's going to make himself an appeals court judge. All he needs is Trump's earthquake seismograph signature and he's golden.
Seismograph signature is taking me out
I first saw his signature in a thread in r/PoliticalHumor. I was 95+% certain "Trump's signature" was some kind of super-stupid in-joke for that subreddit. It had to be a joke. It just wasn't possible that— Holy mother of fuck. It's actually real. How... What the fuck.
Also him and what people he does care about will always have the best access to healthcare, so he doesn't give a damn otherwise
It's still undermining their own power in the long run. Having his base and America writ large sick and stupid is not a winning strategy for maintaining US hegemony. Recruitment goals for every branch of the military are way down not just because people are less ideologically motivated to join up, but because too many Americans are too physically unfit to clear the bar. Increasing the rate of childhood disease and disability is not going to improve that situation. Increasing communicable disease and making the workforce sick is not going to leave a good reserve army of labor around for their fantasies of reindustrializing. Having even more people become victim to the health insurance agencies and privatized hospital networks is not going to create a passive and happy population. The attitude you describe is not just myopic, it's self-defeating, which is why I think they must actually believe this grotesque anti-science stuff to some degree.
Your first mistake is thinking these people do long term planning.
Republicans lost entire counties in recent elections due to antivaxxers all dying from covid while libs actually made some effort to quarantine and vaccinate. It would be funny if it didn't also mean kids and disabled people were bystanders who got killed as well.
He enrages me in ways that even Trump can't manage to
Idk if this is messed up or problematic but I swear he looks and sounds like the bug man from men in black, but with worms instead of intergalactic roaches. Either way, it's clear that the pestilence is in charge. Nurgle says trust the plan.
I hope he removes his soul from his mortal corpus and transforms into the only good kind of kennedy: a dead one
:Nurgle-Pog:
FUCK! I KNEW WE HAD ONE BUT I COULDN'T FIND IT
Praise nurgle!
I love the wah-ah-ah-ah-ahhhh
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I wonder if RFKjr held a press conference where he came up to the podium, tilted his head back to allow a giant, mucus coated slug emerge from his gullet and begin speaking in the same breathless, quavering voice he's had for years about how all vaccines, antibiotics, and vermicides/dewormers must all be banned immediately for the sake of "the brood", if there would even be a pause before the MAGA-Q crowd started cheering in agreement, praising his bravery.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
