Have to say the comments here are very revealing...

Almost every post defending and supporting RFK Jr is from a MAGA-warrior...

Where as almost all the posts critical of him are from the more moderate side...

That makes one thing crystal clear - if RFK Jr does siphon any votes from the top two candidates, it will be our MAGA-friends dumping Trump for a guy that shares their view that the COVID vaccine is poison...

So keep yourself in the ring Bobby Jr - and keep telling the MAGA-crew you aren't buying the Trump lie that the vaccine is "safe and it works"....as we've seen here, they'll love you for it...

Are we really REALLY sure that Jr. hadn’t relapsed?

Because I gotta say, this has all the hallmarks of really poor decisions made under the influence of SOMETHING.

And which would be worse, a relapse or no relapse and this is just who he is? (Spoiler alert: it’s the latter.)

I have read the entire thing but it doesn't make sense. If he really needed bear skin and meat why not go for hunting expedition.

Hence whilst some people are having to make up conspiracies about ‘media hit jobs’ the majority of people are laughing at how absurdly ridiculous he is.

You asked for an example of someone joking about a crime and then trying to preempt the media by revealing it themself.

Voila.

In NY State it is illegal to transport a dead bear unless one has a vaid bear tag, issued to hunters, Same goes for deer.

It is also very likely illegal to dump a n animinal carcass in a NY city or state park.

The NYS DEC needs to look into this claim,

He did not, he just acted on impulse without measuring the consequences of his actions, fully knowing he had an appoitment that would make it impossible to harvest anything from the bear, then again by dropping it by trying to make it look like an impossible accident and later by exposing himself doing this terribly irrational thing expecting people to feel sympathy for him for acting without a drop of common sense.

"Kennedy said in the video that he was driving to the Hudson Valley in New York state when a woman in a van in front of him hit a young bear and killed it. He put the bear's body into the back of his car because he was going to skin the bear and store its meat at his house, he said."

I hope he’s not running on the ‘defund the police’ trope since he had them running around in circles.

Standard hit job by reuters

Actually it was a hit job by the driver in front of him. Jr. Just decided to scoop up the corpse for meat, went to dinner apparently forgetting he had to go to the airport, and then dumped the corpse in Central Park (where bears are so frequently found of course) along with a bike to make it look like an accident so the decaying bear corpse wouldn’t stink up his car.

I don’t know about anyone else but that’s the kind of level-headed thinking under pressure I want from a guy with launch authorization!

All of the far-left radical Marxists/Trotskyite socialists are in your head and maybe in RFK Jrs. along with his other demons.

So JFK had the Missle crisis, RFK had his mission with trying to end the Viet Nam war... and Jr., here... facing his Nemesis... himself

“Kennedy suggested in the video, which was posted on social media platform X, that he is trying to get ahead of a not-yet-published story from the New Yorker.”

You were so determined to be a victim again that you forgot to read the ‘hit job’ article.

Very embarrassing for you.

"Leave religion out of it. Leaders should lead by example. Holiness is irrelevant." @Bob Fosse

I'm confused because you brought up religion, can you please define "Holy" for me because I really don't get it. Jesus was Holy which religion did he belong?

We should all strive for Holiness and Righteousness to overcome all sins caused by human fallability. 

Leave religion out of it. Leaders should lead by example. Holiness is irrelevant.

But if a leader is setup to b caught in crimes, then I will hold accountable those involved with the setup past what I hear and see on media.

Set up?

We should all strive for Holiness and Righteousness to overcome all sins caused by human fallability. Having said that I would also prefer a leader without crimes.

Trump is getting ready to admit that his Operation Warpseed was a failure.

To "admit" something that is not real is called to "lie" about it. Vaccines are considered one of the few huge successes about how the pandemic was dealt with, even now. If following scientific advice never became politicized a lot more of other things would have prevented millions of deaths.

Are people really concerned more about something which happened a decade ago or the current apocalyptic global economic collapse?

People are concerned that a candidate so obviously unhinged can actually be the choice of 8% of the electorate, this indicate that the future elections could come with worse and worse candidates progressively.

According to your logic then nobody would ever qualify to lead Nation based on past moral grounds. Due to the fact that no one is Holy.

That is a false dichotomy, there is a huge difference between not being a perfect human being and being a huge example of irrational, erratic behavior that would incapacitate anyone from any professional job, much more having a political career.

When has he ever, once, admitted that something he did was a failure?

There’s more chance of him dumping a dead bear in Central Park.

He makes Rosanne Barr appear normal which is not easy to do. Even she seems taken aback by his mental state.

Kennedy was favored by 8% of voters. 

Anybody who understands politics knows that RFK is getting ready to bow out of the race and fully endorse Trump.

In exchange for RFK being head of the Congressional Investigative Commission on Covid vaccination policy.

The problem with that is that Trump has be elected President, as that doesn't look so likely these days...

Trump is getting ready to admit that his Operation Warpseed was a failure.

That's got to hurt. The only good part of Trump's Covid response, he has to disavow...

It kind of feels like Jr here saw “Trump-weird” getting traction, got jealous and said “Hold my (whatever it is that’s doing this to him now that he stopped taking drugs and alcohol)!”

Interesting view.

Kennedy and Trump/Vance having a weird-off.

Vance wins it for me.

Trump is senile rather than weird and Kennedy is a ten-a-penny conspiracy theorist.

Vance has that abusing furniture/dolphin thing factor.

Not necessarily damaging.

Maybe the basement crowd on social media could spin it as the corporate MSM/elites/big pharma/Soros/the deep state types trying to take him down.

They could come to his rescue.

Well, he is an anti-vaxxer - so idiocy, dumb stunts and recklessness are part of who he is.

As normal people do, lol.

But after a late dinner in New York City at the Peter Luger Steak House, he had to go straight to the airport and did not want to leave the bear in his vehicle.

When this is the most lucid part of your explanation, you have problems…

I am watching Last Week Tonight at the moment and John Oliver is doing a pre-recorded piece on RFK Jr. If only he’d had this to work with in time….
