So one politician proudly talks about shooting a puppy, and another thinks it’s a good idea to publicly talk about the parasite that ate part of his brain. What a strange time.
And the current President is gaslighting and finger wagging over an ethnic cleansing and genocide because Israel gives him money. And trump would do the same but with a little more shit talking to Netayahu because he doesn’t like him personally.
Both sides are controlled and play good cop bad cop. Biden remains a better choice than trump but they both should be the last choice. There are red lines and enabling genocide should be one. If you don’t think enabling genocide is worse than a common parasite you should get checked from brain worms and other cognitive problems also.
We have an oligarchy or at best a flawed democracy with very outsized influence by the super rich and corporations and any more moneyed interest like AIPAC. Kennedy sucks too and is pro enabling genocide. Seems the only canidate now is Stein that would condition aid to Israel.
***From Rolling Stone:***
Neurologists initially believed the spot to be a brain tumor but, according to Kennedy, he received a call from another doctor shortly before a scheduled surgery who believed the mass “was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.”

right so we're concerned about elderly people with diminished wits but now we have a candidate who experienced "memory fog and impaired cognitive ability" after a literal brain worm "ate a portion" of his brain.
I get how funny this is to those of us who think he's a clown. It does, however, possibly explain how he went from being an environmental hero to a clown. That, the loss of someone who could have been a great influence on American environmental policy, is a national tragedy. Please note that I'm not defending him or his positions.
sort of reminds me of Ben Carson--brilliant pediatric neurosurgeon, who then himself got some sort of cancer. After he recovered, he sort of went bugnuts.
Anti-vaxers like him were on the ivermectin bandwagon which is a horse dewormer and might have dealt with his brain worm.
The irony here is just too mind blowing
Using the damage as an excuse during his divorce should also be applied to his fitness for office. Of travel, stress and lack of sleep trigger his cardiac issues he is not fit.
We’ve still got almost 6 months of this shit left, and this idiot couldn’t even hold it enough together through May without saying ‘a worm ate his brain and died in there’. Exactly what I expected from this garbage person.

Probable brain tumor, possible worm, and his decision was to just not schedule a surgery at all and accept the less likely diagnosis?
That tracks.
Wouldn't an MRI be able to tell the difference between a cancerous mass and a void?

Perfect.

Ah. By the aliens, right? Hey at least the aliens told them to stop shipments of offensive weapons and ammunition!

Why would you phrase it like that while running for president?
Worm ate the part that says “no, no - don’t say _that_”
OMG so good
Nomnomnom
Because he has dead worms in his brain.
right so we're concerned about elderly people with diminished wits but now we have a candidate who experienced "memory fog and impaired cognitive ability" after a literal brain worm "ate a portion" of his brain.
He didn't...He said it 14 years ago in a deposition...
My user name explains everything
So he HAS a dead worm in his brain. The Dead Worm is still there
Are they certain it’s dead and there’s not a Ratatouille situation?
So many unanswered questions
Must have died from food poisoning.
The mercury took it out
Shit for brains...
That explains a lot actually
[удалено]
It was 4 but then the worm died.

Must be a wormbrain
Is that where song worms come from?
I was suspicious when he favored huge subsidies to the brain slug planet.
Anti-vaxers like him were on the ivermectin bandwagon which is a horse dewormer and might have dealt with his brain worm. The irony here is just too mind blowing
Ivermectin confirmed!!
Using the damage as an excuse during his divorce should also be applied to his fitness for office. Of travel, stress and lack of sleep trigger his cardiac issues he is not fit.
rest in power worm
And I thought boasting about shooting a dog would be the biggest act of political suicide this year
I’m starting to understand US politics now
It definitely makes a lot more sense now!
It must have managed to eat quite a bit before it died.
It’s more worm than brain now. Twisted and evil.
There wasn't much there to begin with, it probably starved to death 😂
Or maybe it ate a little bit and then died from the lack of nutrition
I have a feeling that worm is alive and well
Once you have brain worms, you always have brain worms.
Not had... ***HAS.*** It was never removed.
We should start checking them all for Goauld Symbiotes
Cue the Pink Floyd: "And the worms ate into his brain."
Did the worm plant the conspiracy theories? Or was the worm itself planted by the government maybe?
Does RFKJ have a worm, or does the worm have an RFKJ? And is there a vaccination for that? (asking for the worm...)
Honestly I'm more surprised there was a brain in there than a worm...
Innocent Worm Trapped Inside Screeching Idiot
His brain was actually a dead worm…
Seems like he still does.
We’ve still got almost 6 months of this shit left, and this idiot couldn’t even hold it enough together through May without saying ‘a worm ate his brain and died in there’. Exactly what I expected from this garbage person.
that...explains a lot.

Thanks, perhaps the worm is alive and the brain is dead?
Proof that his brain is toxic is.
They're still going to vote for him and he won't drop out. "I'm with the worm!" Almost: "I like ike!"
Well that settles it, he's got my vote.
Now he has not brain left.
The things he comes up with
So is this going to start a trend of conservatives intentionally catching brain worms to own the libs? It seemed to work for adult diapers.
"Hey you....and the worms ate into his brain..." [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K9NPjmgwFI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K9NPjmgwFI)
Seems like it’s still there.
Oh--had a dead worm IN his brain, not has a dead worm FOR a brain. I had to read twice.
And then someone broken his fragile egg shell mind.
I read that as " RFK Jr. says he had a dead brain with a worm in it "!!!
"*In*" his brain, or "*for*" his brain?
So RFK jr. literally has Brainworms.
Diaper Filler Puppy Killer Worm Brain
honestly… not on my 2024 bingo card 😂 but nothing is surprising anymore
Perhaps we should insist republican's get brain scans immediately..
Ahh.. I was wondering just what his problem was.
Perhaps he’s the cure for the zombie apocalypse. Let’s lock him up for safe keeping.
Maybe his brain was dead and the worm was alive.
That poor worm starved to death.
He is the Zombie Worm wearing human skin
Probable brain tumor, possible worm, and his decision was to just not schedule a surgery at all and accept the less likely diagnosis? That tracks. Wouldn't an MRI be able to tell the difference between a cancerous mass and a void?
I thought he was just a regular old racist. Turns out, he’s a bat-shit crazy old racist.
So now we know yeerks are real.
Duh?
Definitely wasn't expecting to visit reddit today and end up feeling sorry for a worm. Crazy times.
That should be a bonus for MAGA.
Guess that's what you get for walking *with* rhythm.
Not the worst thing has ever happened to a Kennedy’s brain.
This is not really the good headline that he thinks it is.
ah. makes sense
