Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The things that RFK Jr does know, he has to use A1.

I am neurodivergent. I have bi-polar DISORDER. I find this offensive. This asshole would have you think that my parents' children were harmed by vaccines and are diseased and less-than. The reality is that mental health issues run in our family. This is disgusting. Fuck him.

Edit: I am extremely non-violent, but I'd sure like to punch this fucker.

he doesn't care about knowing what he talks about, he wants eugenics

Like anyone of the Trump gang, he knows little about almost anything.

No need to qualify that...

"RFK Jr. Knows Amazingly Little ~~About Autism~~"

I pity the brain worm. Poor little fella must've been starving at the end.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

I'm pretty sure it was poisoned by RFK's thoughts.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The last two words are not needed.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I'm not amazed either. The remainder of the title now reflects reality

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

But first add quotation marks around knows and then it’s fine

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

RFK. Jr knows amazingly little about ANYTHING.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I hear he's an expert philanderer.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It might be easier to create a list of things he knows amazingly a lot about.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago
  • ~~Cooking bear meat~~
  • Decapitating whales
[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)
  • Eating roadkill
  • Training hawks

  • How to get people to store roadkill for your pet hawk in their own fridge.

Using phrases like "Highly infeasible" and "improbable" when talking about how he will find the cause by September is disengious. Phrasing it that way makes it sound like there is even a chance.

Say it like it is. A lie. It WILL NOT happen. It is impossible. The decades of research aren't just going to "conclude" because he magically decided to focus on it. It's not a simple cause and effect.

According to my Republican handbook autism is what happens to you if a vaccine doesn't manage to make you fully gay.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

But did he do his own research??

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

His friend claims to be autistic and is the richest man in the world trying to take over the most powerful government.

Though, looks like he is right about not paying taxes or not being able to hold onto a relationship.

If only someone in that room had said 'OK, let's ask Elon how he feels about that.'

@jeffw I feel you could replace that last word with almost anything.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

As we all expected, RFK Jr. knows little about Autism.

FTFY

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

As we all expected, RFK Jr. knows little about [insert ANY subject]

FTFY

Expanded accurately. For sure.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I am not that amazed actually

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

He knows a lot about being an idiot though!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I want to see proof that there's no worm in his knuckle.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

@jeffw Surprised? The Kennedy Force being used for evil. My great nephew was diagnosed with autism at age three this year. He can only say three words but has a beautiful soul.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

RFK Jr. is a puppet and serves the interest of ~~Trump~~ Elmo.
