@RickiTarr I kept wondering why #Kennedy literally said "we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things" here. Now I understand what he meant by "the other things".
In 2010, #RFKJr was experiencing #memory loss & #mental fogginess so severe that a friend grew concerned he might have a #brain tumor. #Kennedy said he consulted several of the country’s top neurologists, many of whom had either treated or spoken to his uncle, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, before his death the previous yr of brain cancer.
Several drs noticed a dark spot on the younger Kennedy’s brain scans & concluded that he had a tumor, he said in a 2012 #deposition reviewed by NYT.
#RFKJr was immediately scheduled for a procedure at Duke Medical Center by the same surgeon who had operated on his uncle….
While packing for the trip, he said, he received a call from a doctor at NY-Presbyterian Hospital who had a different opinion: #Kennedy, he believed, had a dead #parasite in his head.
The doctor believed that the abnormality seen on his scans “was caused by a worm that got into my #brain & ate a portion of it & then died,” Kennedy said in the #deposition.
#RFKJr has gone to lengths to appear hale, skiing w/a pro snowboarder & w/an Olympic gold medalist….A camera crew was at his side while he lifted weights, shirtless, at an outdoor gym in Venice Beach.🙄
For decades, #Kennedy suffered from #AtrialFibrillation, a heartbeat abnormality that increases the risk of #stroke or #HeartFailure. He has been hospitalized ≥4X, although in an interview… this winter, he said he had not had an incident in >a decade & believed the condition had “disappeared.”
About the same time he learned of the parasite, #RFKJr said, he was also diagnosed w/ #MercuryPoisoning, most likely from ingesting too much fish containing the dangerous heavy metal, which can cause serious #neurological issues.
“I have #cognitive problems, clearly,” #Kennedy said in the 2012 #deposition. “I have short-term #memory loss, AND I have longer-term memory loss that affects me.”
Some members of the extended #Kennedy clan have issued stmnts making clear they stand w/ #POTUS#Biden in this fall’s #election. But a gathering of dozens of Kennedys at the #WhiteHouse last wknd marked the beginning of a more active effort by the family to boost Biden’s reelection, & push back against one of their own.
“There was a point of having everybody there,” a snr member of the Kennedy family said of their gathering.
The remains of Dunure Castle on the Ayrshire coast, once the main fortress of the Kennedy family but already a ruin by the mid 1700s. The castle's origins probably date back at least as far as the 1200s when a stone keep was built here. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/dunure/dunurecastle/index.html
This is the most f'ing offensive thing I've seen all day. Printed in the newspaper! Both RFK and JFK would kick his ass for tarnishing the Kennedy legacy.
You see any MAGAs invoking either of their legacies? No. Yet they flock to RFK Jr's conspiracy-laden, antisemitic diatribes.
RFK Jr. Floats Bonkers Theory COVID Was Designed To Spare ‘Jews And Chinese’
Kennedy's remarks gave an antisemitic flavor
He went on to say that “COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people” because of “the genetic structure” of the virus.
“The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese,” Kennedy said, giving no evidence. He made sure to say he did not know whether the virus was “deliberately targeted or not.”
#RFK Jr's family members disagree with his vaccine stance and I'll bet that's not all. Please remind folks who think Kennedys are all gods that he's not one of those. I think his dad would have been sad at Jr's campaign, and his sibs/cousins/niblings are as unlikely to vote for him as Paul Gosar's siblings are to vote for their brother.
Identifying as a #Democrat and purchasing real estate on the presidential #primary ballot gives insight into the #RFKjr campaign strategy: run as a Democrat while serving as the #MAGA Trojan Horse.
In true MAGA style, when questioned by Elizabeth Vargas at a #townHall event whether he’d pledge to support whoever wins the #Democratic#nomination, #Kennedy said, "of course I’m not gonna do that.”

Vor 60 Jahren sass unsere Mutter im Wohnzimmer vor dem Radio. Ich erinnere mich noch genau, wie sie sich zu mir drehte und in welchem Tonfall sie sagte: #Kennedy ist ermordet worden.
"RFK Jr. Campaign Denies Involvement in Fundraiser Flap
A star-studded event supporting independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had a key flaw: The advertised celebrities had not agreed to appear."
#RFKjr isn't just some quirky also-ran. He's a dangerous liar who thinks nothing of repeating discredited, #RussianPropaganda that's based entirely on #Putin's rhetoric. It's easily discoverable common knowledge that the things he's saying have absolutely no basis in reality, and are, in fact, overt #propaganda from America's enemies. What a shameful time to be a #Kennedy.
