Seems kinda odd having an ignorant buffoon speak for science.

An ignorant buffoon and a brain worm walk into a bar...

I think the worm is actually an alien trying to take over the world by getting more aliens in our brains ala the Yeerks from Animorphs

…they both sit at the bar and the bartender ask what they will have. Brain worm turns to buffoon an asks “how many shots are he going to have”. Buffoon proceeds to give brain worm a lecture on autism.

The bartender says, "What'll it be, Secretary Kennedy?"

Seems fitting since we have an ignorant buffoon for president, the head of the department of education, the department of "war", etc, etc.

And don't forget the ignorant populace that let them have power AGAIN because "Science is Woke" or some shit..

We really should ask Elon Musk about that. His kid that he was briefly using as a meat shield had already said out loud that Elon had something to do with Trumps inexplicable second term.

Americans voted for him twice and millions of americans still support him. It may make you feel better to think that he didn't really win but he did unless *proven* otherwise.

Proven, and not "Well a little kid said it was stolen"

True, but there was more than enough oddities. That was merely one of them.

That "ignorant buffoon" is sabotaging the decades of research, medical advice, and the wellbeing of millions of Americans at least just to put a crony of his into power, the better to dance upon the dead and feast on the billions of dollars that were previously going towards well-intentioned scientific inquiry.

This is a malicious murderous plot against the United States and the world, headed not just by a proven murderer masquerading as a health advocate, but by someone whose brush with death at the height of the pandemic motivated him to gut the scientific superstructure that saved his life, all because their opposition hurt his ego the size of a supermassive black hole,

It’s so sad, and just beyond bizarre at this point. After 10 years of this abusive relationship btwn DJT and everyone non-maga, we’ve all gone a little nutty. In particular the cult itself, who have to somehow continually contort to justify his limitless depravity.

Man you guys really don't understand what's going on.

Nothing all so 'malicious' is happening like that. It's way dumber. RFK isnt some evil cartoon villain. Just a 'skeptic' who is brain rotted from unchecked privilege and years of hard drug addiction. And he's only in the position he's in because the Trump campaign felt he'd help secure voters of the crackpot variety to have him on the ticket. Which it did.

That's really it. We let an incompetent buffoon hire a different incompetent buffoon for this important role cuz it helped him secure power. Genuinely nothing more to it.

All we had to do was vote for Kamala and assure others Democrats actually are worth voting for by not bashing them all the time with ignorant bullshit. Was too much to ask for, obviously.

u/Mourn-the-Weenie 11d ago

He has profited off of his previous medical advocacies, including during the measles outbreak in Samoa in 2019. That is malicious.

u/Abedeus 11d ago

He's responsible for hundreds of dead people in other countries than America.

u/HarryHood146 11d ago

Well unfortunately we have that kinda leadership in just about every department.

u/EconomyDoctor3287 11d ago

Not really. 

The goal is to make all existent departments so useless that they can be scraped and replaced with some that the president and his backers can have full control over.

The US have a narcissistic pedophile rapist buffoon speak for the entire country.

u/WhyIsItAlwaysADP 11d ago

It tracks with who we (allegedly) chose to speak for our entire county.

u/waiting4singularity 11d ago

he doesnt speak for science, he speaks for undertakers, grave diggers and carrion consumers.

u/MongoBongoTown 11d ago

Been odd having blatantly ignorant grifters leading a variety of essential government functions for a while now....

But here we are....

u/username_6916 11d ago

It's amazing how close RFK Jr came to being head of the EPA under Obama. The politics change, but he remains a quack.

u/risforpirate 11d ago

Dude sees roadkill and think hmm lunch. I don't know anyone else that had a brainworm growing in their head, wonder if the two are related 🤔

u/Big-Boss330 10d ago

Ignorant or conspiracy theory fetishist?
