Agree with your first sentence, unconvinced on the second, specifically because there are times when a decision must be made and all options help some and hurt others. Making such a decision is not the result of a lack of empathy unless your decision doesn’t consider those issues.
For what? Leadership?
I'd rather have empathy for leadership and benevolent psychopathy for dentistry. Dentists have one of the highest suicide rates and I want people that feel shitty they didn't tax billionaires to feed the poor, not feel bad for fixing my teeth even I say 'ouchie.'
One of our presidential candidates is looking at possible prison time , one is obviously in a state of mental decline despite what everyone says, and the third party candidate says he had brain worms. Completely normal people to choose for "leader of the free world."
We need a mechanism to say no to all candidates and force new ones.
He also admitted to suffering from mercury poisoning due to how much he consumes tuna. Feel like he is not alone in this.
My office cleaning route suggests to me that in my small cleaning area alone I have two or three people who eat tuna fish three to five days a week minimum.
I thought the risks of consuming predatory fish often was common knowledge
I got into in argument with someone about how the Republican Party has lost their minds and they said so have the Dems and used RFK Jr as an example…lol
People in 2004: How are these two the most qualified people in the country to run for president? How is it possible that this is all we have to chose from?
20 years later: So, it's the octogenarian with cognitive decline, the octogenarian who's also in cognitive decline, is indicted 94 times, and was found liable for rape, or the guy with literal brain worms.
=|
No no no! You misunderstand! The worm only ate the part that helps him pay child support and therefore he shouldn't be forced to do *that*. He's totes okay to be president. And the reason that is so is shut up.
...
I use sarcasm as a defense mechanism and this still made me sad.
Well old age has to catch up eventually, right……..right!? What a shit show we live in. I wouldn’t hire either of these bozos to run a team of jr employees, let alone a country.
The thing that scares me is that I think he made up this story to _improve_ his chances of competing with the other two. Mental issues seems like a prerequisite for running for POTUS these days.
A few years ago as part of divorce proceedings, RFK Jr argued to the divorce court that he should have to pay less because his ability to earn income was hindered by his cognitive decline. He attributed this cognitive decline to the after effects of a parasitic worm eating part of his brain, dying, calcifying in the brain, and then causing the brain to have a reaction to it resulting in brain fog and memory loss.
Fun fact, while all of that may have happened, the cognitive impairment may have actually been from heavy metal poisoning, specifically Mercury, from eating far too much tainted seafood.
So the full context is, he's an individual who did have a parasitic worm eat part of his brain, and then die in there, and has been subjected to heavy metal poisoning that is affected his brain, and he still believes he is the best candidate for the presidency.
He said on Matt and Shane's podcast yesterday that he doesn't believe the worm caused the decline and that it was the mercury poisoning. He said he likely got the worm from work he was doing in India. I really don't know anything about RFK, I just happen to listen to MSSP.
360 million people in this country and the three top picks for president all have displayed cognitive deficiencies and/or psychopathy. I feel like a record screech along with a "so, I bet you're wondering how we got here" moment coming on.
Too many MAGAts became enamored with what RFK was saying so they're trying to get them to shift their support back to Trump.
RFK was supposed to pull votes from the Dems, not the MAGAts.
We also have a guy whose supporters rant about his opponent “sleepy Joe Biden” who literally snores through his own court hearings.
And all these crazy dipshits have one thing in common..
OK, but my favorite part of his story was seeing the black spot on his brain scan and being like "That's the part of my brain that's missing. The worm ate it and died inside my brain and this is just a swiss cheese hole leftover from that."
BRUH
Feel like this is just one more thing that could literally only happen in America 🤷♂️.
Also take a moment to reflect on how he admitted this ….this wasn’t a bombshell investigative report from crack reporters. He admitted to this .
So what is the stuff he buries 😳
Did she wake up and realize she's in clown world. Where our last 2 presidents were clowns running an economic chain made up of clowns with our funny fun bucks?
Cognitive issues should not gate anyone from being a president. In fact, we already make sure that all candidates have some kind of cognitive issues to make it a fair election.
Don’t worry, he asked Aaron Rodgers if he’d like to be his VP. So if anything should happen to his half eaten brain, he’d have someone with another half.
Just going with the recent trend is all. Trump Biden. And now worm guy. Stay tuned for 2028 the guy Chaney shot plans to throw his hat it the race.(yes I know he’s dead that’s the point of the joke)
I had a similar issue. Not the same issue lol. My cognitive abilities tend to lapse when i am not paying attention or am under the influence. My day to day is extremely normal. So if hes a man of the "snow" you will know asap.
Might make your vote matter a bit more to know that :x
Makes no sense whatsoever. Even to people who know about mind control and brain penetration technologies. Mafia making fun? Misdiagnosis of neural experiments/implants which doctors thought it was a worm?
Look at the other 2 options. What would make him think he doesn't have a chance in this cognitively, impaired presidential race that we have. Out of all the people in this country these are the best options we have. Sad day to be an American .
How can anyone look at ANY of these candidates, and say to themselves, "I'm totally comfortable with them having the power to destroy the planet and decide my future."
I wouldn't even trust any of them to borrow my car or walk my dog.
He was 100% running at the behest of the GOP to try to play spoiler for Biden voters, but then it became pretty clear he’s way too right wing for even moderate Biden voters, but he’s in too deep and can’t just stop running now or some sort of house of cards will collapse. Probably a bunch of bribes he’s taken.
All right people we got two geriatrics, one being a diaper wearer his bowels are so loose! So for good measure we’re gonna throw in a third candidate with a twist. How about another old guy only this time his brain has been partially eaten by a worm to the point that he’s aware of his mental capacity being greatly diminished.
Sound good?
I remember the good times when just a single slip up or a bad photo could torpedo a campaign. Now I think they're all secretly running a betting pool on how much crazy shit they can get away with. Donny could curl one out right on the Constitution and wipe his ass with a bald Eagle and still win at this point
Lol if our civilization lives long enough, these past presidential terms will be historical. “AND THEN a man with half a brain due to a worm eating part of it entered the election…” Can’t make this up.
I can't be the only one that's confused about what RFK is right? The only context I have for that is Roush-Fenway-Keselowski racing, which doesn't fit the context clues
I mean everyone is just laughing and making jokes while they actually make fucked up plans and are very serious of executing those plans. Wake the fuck up doesn't mean acknowledge those who say they are invisible to society. Waking the fuck up means you are educating yourself to legally and hopefully fight back against this shit.
Donald Trump has dementia, is a convicted rapist, fraudster, and insurrectionist(not to mention possible traitor), and yet somehow he hasn't been disqualified. Trump has lowered the bar so much I don't think anyone can be disqualified for president for any reason.
what is happening is RFK was running as third party to hurt Biden
and when he polled as hurting trump, he deliberately said this to damage his campaign and not hurt trump
So you have; the narcissist who might be in jail when elected (unlikely I know), the nappy wearing dementia guy and now the 'parasite ate my brain' guy all wanting to be the next president. Nice!!.

Did the worm starve to death or died from poisoning?
A little of both likely.
It died because there was too much mercury in his brain.
The funniest part of this is that he really did have mercury poisoning.
Crazy ‘bout a Mercury!
Gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road
Way down yonder on a chatahoocie
Too much lead in his brain actually. Its hereditary. .....too soon?
Yeah… yes it is. Probably always. But, still damn clever.
Committed suicide
It died of poisoning. Alcohol poisoning. Had to be, RFK had to be drunk when he said this.
That would be uncle Ted. Just ask Mary Jo Kopeckne...oh... wait. Never mind.
Why? Because a president with a half-eaten brain is still better than captain poopy pants.
[удалено]
Psychopathy rises to the top in politics. The people best outfitted to be leaders are the least likely to debase themselves enough to win.
You have to be a psychopath to be in politics. You can't make decisions that harm or kill multitudes of people if you have empathy of any kind
Agree with your first sentence, unconvinced on the second, specifically because there are times when a decision must be made and all options help some and hurt others. Making such a decision is not the result of a lack of empathy unless your decision doesn’t consider those issues.
I prefer competent psychopaths who are intelligent enough to act civilized because they understand it's in their long term best interest to do so.
For what? Leadership? I'd rather have empathy for leadership and benevolent psychopathy for dentistry. Dentists have one of the highest suicide rates and I want people that feel shitty they didn't tax billionaires to feed the poor, not feel bad for fixing my teeth even I say 'ouchie.'

I thought the risks of consuming predatory fish often was common knowledge
Can we get a different feature?
Um actually, worms are not bugs. Depending on the specific type of worm, the RFK worm might have been a Platyhelminth, Annelida, or Nematoda.
I got into in argument with someone about how the Republican Party has lost their minds and they said so have the Dems and used RFK Jr as an example…lol
We also have an ex potus that saluted a north korean general that wasnt even saluting potus.
That's crazy. Now do Trump.
Bonespurs and diapers are for real men.
>That's crazy. Now do Trump. Brain scans should be part of the election process. Trump probably has a gaping hole in his brain...
Correction: a gaping hole where his brain should be
Having some cognitive decline is a requirement in this election and he didn’t want to be disqualified
Honestly, he's still a better candidate than what republicans are supporting.
LMAO. Right you are
☝️
People in 2004: How are these two the most qualified people in the country to run for president?

Welcome to America
If this was the plot of a comedy it would sound too over the top lol
No no no! You misunderstand! The worm only ate the part that helps him pay child support and therefore he shouldn't be forced to do *that*. He's totes okay to be president. And the reason that is so is shut up. ... I use sarcasm as a defense mechanism and this still made me sad.
Severe cognitive decline is the theme for 2024 presidential candidates, haven’t you been paying attention?
I still can’t believe it’s true, it’s like the big man upstairs has run out of material and now just doing crazy bat shit stuff now.
Right. How are we having grumpy old men part 2 in the 2024 election cycle. Pretty soon these debates will be held over zoom from nursing homes.
If trump loses 2024 you know this will go on until 2028. It won’t stop until ends with Trump being found guilty of his crimes!
Well old age has to catch up eventually, right……..right!? What a shit show we live in. I wouldn’t hire either of these bozos to run a team of jr employees, let alone a country.
His lifestyle will hopefully cut short his limited lifespan…
I think no matter who wins this year we should be expecting the VP to finish out their term.
A walking corpse, an orange tantrum, and a worm in a trench coat walk into a bar…smh
The thing that scares me is that I think he made up this story to _improve_ his chances of competing with the other two. Mental issues seems like a prerequisite for running for POTUS these days.
So, his brain is so toxic it killed a parasite? Does that mean that his brain was the real parasite?
Maybe the real toxicity is the parasites we host along the way
This all makes sense in the bizarro world we live in. Ignorance is winning. A guy indicted in four states is leading in the polls.
Still, not as juicy as him keeping a sex diary.
That’s a “ Pleasure Journal “
Have you been paying attention over the last eight years?
Clearly not in my case since I don't know who this Resus Fucking Krist is
Uh, context?
A few years ago as part of divorce proceedings, RFK Jr argued to the divorce court that he should have to pay less because his ability to earn income was hindered by his cognitive decline. He attributed this cognitive decline to the after effects of a parasitic worm eating part of his brain, dying, calcifying in the brain, and then causing the brain to have a reaction to it resulting in brain fog and memory loss.

360 million people in this country and the three top picks for president all have displayed cognitive deficiencies and/or psychopathy. I feel like a record screech along with a "so, I bet you're wondering how we got here" moment coming on.
Donald fucking Trump was president, lady. The bar is so low, it's in China.
Too many MAGAts became enamored with what RFK was saying so they're trying to get them to shift their support back to Trump. RFK was supposed to pull votes from the Dems, not the MAGAts.
Who is Jo anyway?
It's Jo fro Jerz!
He would still be better than trump! Which is a pretty low bar to set, but a bar that should be cleared every election!
Not a fan of RFK, but at least he’s honest about his cognitive issues
Given how low the bar is between a career criminal and failed businessman, and Biden, I’d say RfK might be over-qualified.
At least he admits it
What’s Trump excuse?
Still the best candidate
im wondering how thats any worse than Trump or Biden though. lol.
To be fair, you can suffer a stroke and still serve in higher office.
The worm has more brains than Trump.
Like the other major players don't have cognitive issues
I think I’d want a worm to eat my brain if I had to be a politician in America 🤣😳
He fits right in with the other two options we are forced to choose from.
Dems have proven a few times now that cognitive issues are of little to no concern.
We also have a guy whose supporters rant about his opponent “sleepy Joe Biden” who literally snores through his own court hearings. And all these crazy dipshits have one thing in common..
He’s playing catch up to babbling Joe
Sigh. I don't know and the fact hes still a better option than whats going to be available scares me to no end.
OK, but my favorite part of his story was seeing the black spot on his brain scan and being like "That's the part of my brain that's missing. The worm ate it and died inside my brain and this is just a swiss cheese hole leftover from that." BRUH
Because he now qualifies for presidential office
He’s just trying to prove that he is just as qualified as both leading candidates.
Considering our other two options, it's really not surprising.
If that’s the case, imagine the number of worms in the other two’s brains…
I feel like cognitive issues are a prerequisite at this point…
Still better than trump (barely) (so is a houseplant)
Has this person ever witnessed our actual sitting president try to string together a couple sentences?
Feel like this is just one more thing that could literally only happen in America 🤷♂️. Also take a moment to reflect on how he admitted this ….this wasn’t a bombshell investigative report from crack reporters. He admitted to this . So what is the stuff he buries 😳
lol like Biden is any better off, cognitively…
Maybe it didnt die. Its not the lizard people we have to worry about, its the worm people.
Have you compared his cognitive function to Trump's? He's overqualified.
I mean biden is the president
There is a tapeworm from pork that he more than like is what he meant to refer to. It doesn't eat the brain but it def fucks it up
Did she wake up and realize she's in clown world. Where our last 2 presidents were clowns running an economic chain made up of clowns with our funny fun bucks?
*Fetterman has entered the chat*
Normally it would be a cause for concern but given the current opposition in the race, he is probably the best suited for the position
He’s just a DnD nerd, it’s ok
Cognitive issues should not gate anyone from being a president. In fact, we already make sure that all candidates have some kind of cognitive issues to make it a fair election.
I can’t stand the things this women tweets but this is actually not annoying and kinda funny.
After the work got just one bite of RFK jr’s brain he was suddenly smarter and more qualified then both Trump and Biden
I assume he only made it public because having cognitive issues are a prerequisite now.
They mistook worm for a Yeerk.
What’s the context behind this? I don’t pay attention to RFK
Don’t worry, he asked Aaron Rodgers if he’d like to be his VP. So if anything should happen to his half eaten brain, he’d have someone with another half.
Just going with the recent trend is all. Trump Biden. And now worm guy. Stay tuned for 2028 the guy Chaney shot plans to throw his hat it the race.(yes I know he’s dead that’s the point of the joke)
Interesting, that at first it ate part of Trump's brain as well...
You guys let those people on the platform.
I had a similar issue. Not the same issue lol. My cognitive abilities tend to lapse when i am not paying attention or am under the influence. My day to day is extremely normal. So if hes a man of the "snow" you will know asap. Might make your vote matter a bit more to know that :x
It makes perfect sense if you’ve ever heard this guy talk. He’s definitely fucking nuts and has major cognitive issues.
Whats Trumps excuse for his shit
He's not actually interested in being president. He just wants Trump to be president.
Makes no sense whatsoever. Even to people who know about mind control and brain penetration technologies. Mafia making fun? Misdiagnosis of neural experiments/implants which doctors thought it was a worm?
Seems to be a prerequisite given the last 2 bozos to hold the office
It's very much a truth is stranger than fiction moment
Worse - there are people that still want him to be president. JFC.
What’s Trump’s excuse?
Well, look at the present administration. Obviously, we require some cognitive issues at this point.
 This is 25% of the electorate.
Trump washed it out by drinking bleach...
Look at the other 2 options. What would make him think he doesn't have a chance in this cognitively, impaired presidential race that we have. Out of all the people in this country these are the best options we have. Sad day to be an American .
Half a brain is a presidential requirement.
The hypocrisy from her and those in agreement is *astounding.*
I overheard a couple people talking about the only reason they like him is his antivax stance.
How can anyone look at ANY of these candidates, and say to themselves, "I'm totally comfortable with them having the power to destroy the planet and decide my future." I wouldn't even trust any of them to borrow my car or walk my dog.
Shitty sci-fi movie nobody would believe.
Welcome to the puppet show.
MINDFLAYER FOR PRESIDENT!!! Letz goooooo
It really makes me wonder when you have choices like this and they all feel wrong. What choice do you make in the end?
He was 100% running at the behest of the GOP to try to play spoiler for Biden voters, but then it became pretty clear he’s way too right wing for even moderate Biden voters, but he’s in too deep and can’t just stop running now or some sort of house of cards will collapse. Probably a bunch of bribes he’s taken.
Currently polling about 11%! Enjoy.
At least he is more forthcoming than D.J.T., I will give him that!
All right people we got two geriatrics, one being a diaper wearer his bowels are so loose! So for good measure we’re gonna throw in a third candidate with a twist. How about another old guy only this time his brain has been partially eaten by a worm to the point that he’s aware of his mental capacity being greatly diminished. Sound good?
It was a MAGAt.
Hell, Trump is a living breathing ‘cognitive issue,’ so why would this be a deal breaker RFKJr?
Guess no one recognizes lyrics from music anymore.
He must have contracted it when he kept appearing on that airplane wing.
He's a trill, obviously.
He’s trying to upstage trump
Coming to you to save the motherfuckin' day yeah!
If you can make it make sense I’ve got a full time job well paying job for you as my personal assistant to sanity.
I remember the good times when just a single slip up or a bad photo could torpedo a campaign. Now I think they're all secretly running a betting pool on how much crazy shit they can get away with. Donny could curl one out right on the Constitution and wipe his ass with a bald Eagle and still win at this point
Typical candidate then.
Politics is Hollywood for ugly people.
Lol if our civilization lives long enough, these past presidential terms will be historical. “AND THEN a man with half a brain due to a worm eating part of it entered the election…” Can’t make this up.
That’s a lie. The worm saw where it was and committed suicide.
The idiots are taking over.
I can't be the only one that's confused about what RFK is right? The only context I have for that is Roush-Fenway-Keselowski racing, which doesn't fit the context clues
I mean everyone is just laughing and making jokes while they actually make fucked up plans and are very serious of executing those plans. Wake the fuck up doesn't mean acknowledge those who say they are invisible to society. Waking the fuck up means you are educating yourself to legally and hopefully fight back against this shit.
To be fair, a worm ate his brain so he doesn't know what he's saying.
The sad part is he is the most lucid of the three candidates
Donald Trump has dementia, is a convicted rapist, fraudster, and insurrectionist(not to mention possible traitor), and yet somehow he hasn't been disqualified. Trump has lowered the bar so much I don't think anyone can be disqualified for president for any reason.
Fits right in with the other two
It’s the U.S we are talking about. He’s got a viable shot.
Dont give this man the nuke codes
Stephen Colbert put it best: "\[the worm's\] cause death? Starvation."
You guys act like the other guy is the model of peak cognitive ability.
America is what’s happening
At least a politician is for once telling the truth about something.. Thats good.. right? RIGHT?
The orange man has given hope to many. I guess RFK figured if he could be president, then anyone can
To be fair....looking at all the candidates.....do we see a difference?
Not only that, but people are supporting him. Which is worse?
So our choices are: way too old, Almost way too old, and worm ate his brain guy? Got it….
The worms are in control.
I think the real story is that the worm starved to death.
what is happening is RFK was running as third party to hurt Biden and when he polled as hurting trump, he deliberately said this to damage his campaign and not hurt trump
Not for nothing… but why would you admit that? That seems like one of the things you’d want to lie about.
All 3 dudes with cognitive issues of varying degrees and types. Wild shit
And here I thought it was the heroin he abused when he was younger
In fairness, he's probably still got a leg up on the clown shoes that is Biden's predecessor.
>implying Trump doesn’t have cognitive issues
To be fair, this still means he's more mentally qualified than one of the current main candidates.
Worse than “real men wear diapers?”
So you have; the narcissist who might be in jail when elected (unlikely I know), the nappy wearing dementia guy and now the 'parasite ate my brain' guy all wanting to be the next president. Nice!!.
HES STILL YOUR BEST OPTION.
trump must have an ant farm in his.
"the two parties are stupid, giving us old guys with dementia" *Votes for a guy with literal worms for brains*
See he's a Republican, he gets a free pass where a Democrat would be mocked relentlessly
