Just first reaction here: OH For Holy Fuck Sake!

He needs his family to put him in a facility to help this poor deranged fool get Real HELP. He NEEDS HELP.

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter to the people who listen to RFK, Jr's lies and conspiracies. It is remarkable that he's still given a stage to push this nonsense. It's also interesting that he's more likely to pull Republican voters if he gets on the ballot. I can't believe he has donors at this point.

The sooner we come to the realization that 40% of Americans are bat shit crazy, dumb as posts.

Most British people would opine that the figure is much higher, and most Europeans would at least suspect that the Brits are correct. Comes from meeting clueless tourists wearing garish clothes. That said, we have also met a few Americans who agree with us, that the States are in a sad state. Nevertheless we KNOW that there there are too many Dumbo's over here too. It's the result of shitty diet and shitty media and shitty politicians.

There’s a lot to add to your list but yeah, we are a big hot mess with this MAGA crap.

Rick Calegari's avatar

The space cadet who sounds like he gargled with battery acid is living in an alternative universe. He brings nothing to the table but his usual off the wall bullshit that might give some MAGAs and few others a rise but most of us know he's nothing but a delusional fraud.

Mike Hammer's avatar

What a tragedy that Robert and John were assassinated and this dipshit survives.

David Wright's avatar

His donors are right-wing extremist billionaires. They're paying to siphon off votes from Biden in battleground states.

Hopefully sanity will find a way into their rotted brains.

I can only imagine it’s simply name recognition without educating themselves.

Especially when the Kennedy family has come out against him & his campaign.

Ruthe Mary Dusette's avatar

This group of CHILDREN NEVER HEARD OR SAW HIS UNCLE, AND FATHER IN GOVERNMENT!! THEY WOULD BE ASHAMED OF WHAT THEY UNDERSTAND TO BE THE CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRACY! THIS RFK IS NOT A KENNEDY!

Beverly D's avatar

Because they get “news” from Social Media algorithms- that force them down into algorithm rabbit holes of ignorance and stupidity.

Fay Reid's avatar

Thank you again Mary. This is just what we need - another crackpot conspiracy theorist with no factual background. RFK Jr is a disgrace to the legacy of the entire Kennedy family, but especially to his father who was an exemplary member

Irene warsaw's avatar

The Kennedy family must be thoroughly disgusted with him 🤬🤬🤬

Steinunn Norðdahl's avatar

Mr kennedy, a frequent guest of Mr. Epstein. Guess he liked girls too?..

Jennifer's avatar

RFK Jr was a frequent guest? Good christ could he embarrass that family any more....

Yes, but I hate seeing it.

Jean Clapp's avatar

wow - didn't know that!

Joy Reynolds's avatar

No, not frequent. He was on two flights, and his wife and kids were with him both times.

Wildflower's avatar

So sad when you think about his father and uncles and what they gave despite their wealth and privilege. Thank you for airing this connection to Donald Trump and the attempted insurrection.

Peter Benton's avatar

RFK belongs in jail for spreading conspiracy theories leading to human deaths. Maybe the ICC should investigate,as it could be described as a crime against humanity

Mike Hammer's avatar

A gulag would be sooooo apropos for him.

There is zero science behind RFK’s anti-vax policy. Once eradicated diseases are making a comeback.

It’s a dangerous stance.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Florida has an increase of leprosy. Also known as Hansen's disease, leprosy is a chronic infectious disease August 2, 2023

As well as mumps and measles.

Give me a link for respected medical advice that proves your nonsensical ¿claims?

Polly Sears's avatar

Please show me the science!

David Wright's avatar

I agree that there's too much "lock'em up" in our discussions. But RFKJr doesn't have actual science, just snake oil, I'm sorry to say.

Ruthe Mary Dusette's avatar

What SCIENCE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

CRAZY SCIENCE THAT SAY TRUMP WAS A WINNER OF THE 2020 ELECTION?

YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO GRADE SCHOOL!

Peter Benton's avatar

You have no idea what science is lol.

Christine's avatar

Please share your science

Nurjam's avatar

Baloney. Stop pushing your lies mo.

Mitchell Wells's avatar

RFK is a jerk, plain and simple

Valere's avatar

Amazing. Two anti-vaxers, and there were many more at the January 6 round up.

A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective's avatar

It’s really sad to me how people I used to admire such as Robert Kennedy Jr during his Ring of Fire days just can’t get enough of that power elixir, the Kool-Aid that makes normal people so totally enthralled with the sound of their own voice.

Like so many noisy Republicans, he’s cast all integrity to the side to become a front line mouthpiece. What is the percentage of people these days that truly honor the offices and the government they will swear to serve?

Yamuna Ramachandran's avatar

Same! I once admired him for his pro-environment stance in the early 2000s. He's really fallen from grace. I wrote a thing about how if he wins (which we know he won't) the biggest losers will be black and brown people in lower income countries, who cannot get quick access to vaccines, because he's vowing to stop development, and would likely stop exports. The entire anti-vax movement is a selfish lot.

Jean Clapp's avatar

They are amazing ---- I am shocked about Christiane Northrup - she believes a reptilian race is taking over the world - bat shit crazy stuff!

kathleen wiener's avatar

I too was shocked about Dr. Northrup!

I had so much respect for her

Jean Clapp's avatar

I just don't understand what happened to her? I have listened to some of her posts on her channel - crazy stuff!

Jean Clapp's avatar

Do you remember Dr. Christiane Northrup? She is a Trump supporter, anit-vaxxer , etc. etc. And a friend of Del Bigtree. Check out an expose about her on the Conspirituality blog. Shocking!

Pamela Tanton's avatar

I follow the Conspirituality folks too. Really good!

Jill Dennison's avatar

I very much appreciate your Substack posts and your views about what is happening in our world. However, I am offended by not being able to read your entire posts unless I pay for the privilege. If I could pay, I would, but I am retired and in very poor health ... I have only my Social Security to live on and my medical expenses eat up most of that. If I didn't live with my daughter, I would have long since died. So no, I cannot afford to financially support your post, but I do wish I could read it in its entirety, for I think your words have much value.

Sue's avatar

Me, too. I undetstand if people with no jobs need to make money but a huge portion of the population is being left out because it's so hard to to spread real information. The disinformation just flows out freely like vomit.

Some of we listeners on SS CAN NOT KEEP GIVING MONEY!

Lisa P. Singer's avatar

Understood. Which is why I wrote what I wrote. If you can't pay that's fine but please quietly ignore the requests and enjoy the posts. I imagine it hurts the hearts of the authors like Mary to hear that everything should be free. That's simply not possible for any journalist. Thank you.
