Typical Kennedy, leaving dead bodies all over the place.

Yeah, but usually it's American soldiers......ah, you didn't think I'd counter a dark joke with a vietnam dark joke!

Usually, but sometimes it's a woman in a pond.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't get this reference. I didn't find any info on Marilyn Monroe in a pond, BUT to my surprise/confusion I found MULTIPLE websites selling rubber ducks, and inflatable ducks made in the image of Marilyn Monroe as a yellow duckie. Selling anywhere from $5, to $40. To which that just adds MORE questions....

What am I missing here?

I'm not sure how I'd never heard of this. It's always disappointing how the rich and powerful receive different legal treatment than us regular folk.

All right, I guess. He heard people calling Republicans weird and was like "Wait, don't forget how weird I am, too!" because he wants to make sure everyone knows he's still a Republican in his heart.

He's had insane shit with animals his whole life. In his teens he had a hawk that went everywhere with him. Check out the latest Behind the Bastards series on him it's fuckin cray

It's looong but it's so worth it.

I don't get how, in the span of about a decade, he went from being an intelligent activist to batshit insane.

[–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 month ago

I thought it was decided that worms ate his brain

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He was always weird, it just wasn't public knowledge. The guy liked to spend his free time surrounded by dead animal carcasses as a child, carried a hawk with him constantly, sexually harrased a significant amount of women, and has been a prominent anti-vaxxer for like 20 years.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yikes.

Yeah. That's no bueno.

Apparently, ten years ago, RFK Jr was dumping a dead bear in Central Park.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago

10 years ago the left was sucking off elon musk as a genius. And now they want him dead.

That mention of Roseanne Barr - surprising yet completely not.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 8 points 1 month ago

In the video, Mr. Kennedy appears to be seated in a kitchen as he casually tells the actress Roseanne Barr about the ordeal. He says that he was driving through the Hudson Valley when he saw a woman in a van hit and kill a young bear.

We need to get this to the top threads of all time.
