How can the country whose engineering skill and expertise managed to rocket their manufacturing economy into the stratosphere post WWI and into WWII, devolve into idiots like RFK Jr?
His uncle wanted to put people on the moon for fucks sake. What a terrible shame on his family to have this guy be one of the last representatives of the Kennedy name.
Hi, I would like to introduce you to Rupert Murdoch, the ruler of Newscorp and now Fox.
Fox is now its own separate entity, but it's still the Murdoch family on the board of it.
TL;DR: The reason the anglosphere, primarily the US, is so fucked, is actually an ozzie. Though he's been an American citizen for some 4 decades now.
What a terrible shame on his family to have this guy be one of the last representatives of the Kennedy name.
Eh, agreed on some level, though it's actually also good proof of karma, which we all need. Shouldn't have lobotomized Rosemary, you sick fucks.
That's very true. I honestly didn't mean to minimize the Kennedy scandals. I should have chosen my words better.
Nah, you still made a good point. This is absolutely a brilliant end both to the country and to the names of our best, and I'm here for it for whatever it's worth.
They managed that because of immigrants who knew how to do it. Now they are leaking brains all over the place. They are somehow turning the tv shows Brain Dead and Happy! and the movie Idiocrazy into a reality.
The real problems in america could be solved with a simple solution: Brawndo. Its what plants crave
Bullets also open the blood-brain barrier and allow toxins into the brain, so are they going to be banned? 🧐
No. These actually do it mechanically, so it's fine.
WiFi obly does it in RFK's fantasies, so that's why banning it's fine.
This is what people voted for.
Enough people to put it there.

Don't forget the heroes who voted for Jill Stein. Because if you didn't then you lOvE gEnOcIdE
"The Democrats didn't fail us. We failed them"
We failed ourselves
I think this is the best take.
The national Democratic party is a collection of thousands of smaller local Democratic parties. We've abandoned the local parties, allowing the corporate rot to take over the national party. We don't need a new 3rd party, we need to take control of the local Democratic parties which already have the infrastructure in place to fund raise and run campaigns.
Good luck if you get three leftists in a room together they have six different ideas on how to get things done and will argue to the death about the best way instead of doing anything.
Yeah here in Ohio we had multiple state referendums where things like abortion and recreational marijuana were overwhelming approved by the voters. So the Democrats proceeded to say nothing anout how they were going to protect those objectively popular issues and instead ran a bunch of ads about how they are going to work with Trump on securing the border, then were shocked that they all got BTFOed in November.
Feels like empire is being run by boomer email forwards.
One of the key characteristics of fascism is machismo: a kind of hyper masculinity, and one of the characteristics of machismo is seemingly that a man is right simply by stating something confidently enough. It's not about facts, evidence, or rigorous testing, it's just about being the right kind of man and having the right kind of masculine energy. That's why fascists are anti-intellectual, because intellectuals and academics understand that research, testing, and experimentation determine truth, not manly vibes.
You know, I can get behind the sentiment of MAHA. Fast foods literally killing people, and worse, making thier lives miserable and expensive. Healthy skepticism of big pharma is, err, healthy. Bring that on.
Research into cell phone health issues is fine. The physics suggest it shouldn't be an issue, but still, data is good.
...But can we please take the quack medicine out?
Agreed that there's no such thing as "wasted" research. But there is no medicine to take out of the quack medicine. They're quacks because they refuse to accept results of research on emotional grounds and just keep squawking the same things their minds are made up about.
Focusing on problems that are fairly settled now because a 70+ year old heard they were mysterious and a problem at the age of six is so inefficient as to be regressive. Yes we should continue to research... everything but we should do so on the foundation of all the research available in , not on vaguely remembered tabloid scares from decades ago.
An issue with focusing too much on a single topic, is, "if you look for it, you will find it". With enough time and effort spent, you will find a signal. Not a true signal, just one that appeared from randomness, and if you would do an analysis of all the studies, the signal would disappear again, but they're definitively not beyond pick and choosing their studies
Basically, this https://xkcd.com/882/
As always, XKCD is spot on...
Like, I wish that was pasted below every Kennedy interview aired.
Wow. This is so utterly absurd, even for politican.
But if he can't explain it, maybe he should bring in an expert who can. I can't wait to hear that explanation. I'll have the popcorn ready.
Well, this arrow, here, is WiFi.
And this line is the blood—brain, barrier.
When the arrow comes to the line, it goes through it. See?
And other things can go through the hole. Like woke.
I will not be taking questions. Thank you.
Roughly accurate transcription it seems:
Text of above
[01:11:01] well, wi-fi radiation is, does all kinds of bad things, including causing cancer.
[01:11:10] wi-fi radiation causes cancer.
[01:11:11] yeah, from your cell phone. i mean, there's cell phone tumor, tumors, you know, that, i mean,
[01:11:15] i'm representing hundreds of people who have cell phone tumors behind the ear. it's always on the
[01:11:20] ear that you favor with your cell phone. and, you know, we have the science. so if anybody
[01:11:27] lets us in front of a jury, it will be over. you know, we-
[01:11:30] so what is the number? because a lot of people use cell phones.
[01:11:32] there's a lot of people with it. they're glioblastomas. that's the kind of cancers that
[01:11:37] they get. but cancer's not the worst thing. they also, you know, it opens up,
[01:11:42] wi-fi radiation opens up your blood-brain barrier. and so all these toxins that are in your body can
[01:11:49] now go into your brain.
[01:11:50] how does wi-fi radiation open up your blood-brain barrier?
[01:11:54] yeah, now you're going beyond my expertise. but what-
[01:12:00] there are, there are, i'm going to use a number here and you're going to think it's hyperbole,
[01:12:05] but it's not. there are tens of thousands of studies that show the horrendous danger of wi-fi
[01:12:12] radiation. and-
[01:12:15] so this is wi-fi that's in this room?
Would love to see these tens of thousands of studies that show the danger
Now you've gone beyond my university's subscriptions.
are those tens of thousands of studies in the room with us right now?
He's saying this so people think his ideas are crazy and won't believe it when the feds and intelligence organizations actually manipulate society with technology.
That's his role in the administration. Its all a long con preparing for the social control coming next.
I think that you're actually putting too much stock into these people. They are just nasty people being nasty as far as they can. Any planning is superficial.
From some of them? Yes. From all of them? No. Steven Miller, Steve Bannon, maybe Dr Oz, almost certainly Linda McMahon, have plans
Wait until he finds out about the radiation from the Sun. Get him a mirror.
If you look at how RFK jr is sitting, he's leaning back and to the left.
There was debate into the late 90's in the scientific community if hiv caused aids due to the rigorous nature of Koch's Postulates. Even then it was just recognized not all the criteria were met. Later they proved it with a monkey variant. HIV causing aids. Not the crazy wifi thing.
This guy probably believes his blood is blue because he's descended from royalty or some shit.
Nah, he'd think his blood was blue not because of the royalty thing but because blue is actually the natural color of blood and it's just built up toxins that turn it red. That's why the royals had blue blood, not because they were just inherently better, but because they took better care of themselves unlike the peasantry.
Us government: "Let's hire that guy to be in charge of health care."
That would be a really funny joke in a parallel universe.
Maybe he thinks wifi is another term for worms. Because worms definitely opened up his blood brain barrier.
