Ah now that shit might get really serious really quick you're changing your stance? Huh Bobby? I must say I'm a little surprise. You didnt do that the last time you did this.

He's playing both sides.He's going to go back to saying all the other nonsense shit.

It’s more likely that the families of the kids with vitamin A toxicity from his recommended treatment are preparing to sue the government.

I doubt that the threat of suing the government would make him change; after all, it won’t be paid out of his pocket. But if the families were being inundated by offers of attorneys to represent them in a civil suit against RFK Jr himself…

And that's why i take Fuckitol. Two pills in the morning, followed by a gallon of bathtub gin, and you'll sleep like a baby.

Did climate change just causet the fourteenth tornado this week to eat your last pickup? Fuckitol. Little Jimmy, your last of a brood of 17 just got gunned down in his pre-k Starbucks job? Fuckitol. Slow creep of fascism destroying civilization? Fuckitol.

Tell your doctor Fuckitol is right for you!

some side effects include sudden spleen rupture, children born with heads of golden retrievers, the condition known as "hotdog fingers," hearing the voices of the Broadway show Cats from midnight to 6am daily. Don't take Fuckitol of you are or may become pregnant, are bipedal, are carbon based or require oxygen at any point during your life cycle.
