Men will do anything to avoid seeing a therapist.
Are his eyes really cartoonishly lopsided or is it just a trick of the angle?
Half expected him to eat it
This is WEIRD, right?
I mean I know there are professions and hobbies where cutting the penis off an animal carcass is just another Tuesday. I assume there are (or have been) cultures where this sort of thing tracks. But, this isn't a normal thing for people to think about doing, let alone do, right? Or am I the weirdo and literally it's super common to play with the penis of dead animals?
Like, I'm not intentionally being ablest or anything, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
And in all fairness, I haven't read the private journals to know the details of this "absurd scenario" and given the subject matter, I don't think it's anything I'd want to read, the headline is more than enough to be off putting. So, there is that.
It's RFK Jr. This is just another day for him.
He took a beached whale carcass' head, threw it on top of his car, and the "juices" leaked in through the window on his kids.
He dumped a dead bear cub in central park and left a bike on top just to make it look weird, as a "prank".
He snorted cocaine off the toilet seat according to himself.
And this is the stuff he openly talks about, I'm convinced you can search "RFK Jr animal story" with damn near any animal and you'll find something.
The top health authority of the United States of Merica!
Man this is like a 4/10 on the scale of "weird shit RFK jr. has done with a dead animal"
The worm recognizes it's own.
Dude with no respect for life has no respect for the dead? I'm shocked! \s
That's a funny way of spelling "to eat so he'd become more virile".
dude is the biggest media hack troll
He probably sat on that thing when he got home.
Look, usually I am just as much "fuck trump" as anyone else l, but seriously, how many of you would honestly just let a perfectly good racoon penis go to waste?
Its just that I usually take the whole racoon
One hell off a pegging he gets with that
I think this is just what happens when republican men don't feel like they can be bisexual.
Wakes up
I should open up Lemmy while I make coffee
Sees this travesty of a headline
Well, back to bed for me!
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.
Maybe people who mutilate the genitals of dead animals aren't actually future scientists?
Worth thinking about.
hes totally in the pseudoscience. even someone with a science background isnt going around cutting off dead animals penises. he also chose the animal with the most dangerous pathogens too.
Maybe the brain worm came from taste-testing raccoon cock rather than snorting coke off toilet seats. Just the type of intrepid thinker we want in charge of the Health Department, heh.
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?
Don't forget Al "I invented the Internet" Gore. What actually happened was: Al Gore as a young senator was shown ARPANET, the precursor to the Internet. He then wrote the High Performance Computing Act of 1991 which led to the creation of the Internet as we know it today. During the 2000 presidential election cycle, he gave an interview in which he stated that he "took the initiative in creating the Internet" -- a perfectly reasonable claim that went unremarked upon at the time. Months later, Bush advisor Karl Rove dug up the interview and orchestrated a smear campaign through which Gore was supposed to have claimed to have "invented the Internet" and the rest is history.
Democrats do not sabotage their careers by yelling weirdly or being photographed with their tiny heads sticking out of tanks. They are assassinated (just politically, usually) by a savage and ruthless enemy.
Imagine being 18 years old and this kind of insanity is all you’ve ever known.
My heart breaks for Zoomers and younger.
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.
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

what does it take for a person get institutionalized
Family and friends who know you and care about you and are worried... Or cops.
Unfotunately this dude doesn't seem to have a basic support network and the cops serve him.
Well if you're a Kennedy, then a having a vagina and an interest in boys will get you a lobotomy...
well thank God for having a penis and a worm instead, and only an interest in collecting carcasses in whole or part

this guy that plays with animal corpses is going to grow up one day to be a serial killer.
More of a mass murderer really.
He's grown, I wonder what's in his basement.
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:
Thanks! I’m displaying it on a toilet at my student art show
“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
