Ok so what is the most obvious, unhide-able , agonizing, and debilitating disease he can get from this?

Because I hope he gets 330 million cases of it.

Man I would feel so good getting to laugh at that.

It would be a guilt free belly kinda laugh that actually makes me feel better.

Knowing how much pain he was feeling and how miserable he is would literally make my stress level go down.

I wonder why he says we should fortify our immune system if he doesn't think germs cause diseases? Like, what is the immune system doing making cells that can eat bacteria?

O... Ok! The situation in taking care of itself.

THIS IS NOT ROCK CREEK FFS

Everyone including major media sources is parroting what RFK Jr. said in his instagram account as if it's gospel. Go to google maps. Look at Rock Creek. Look how big it is. This is not Rock Creek.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

You do know that rivers and creeks can go on for miles right? And that they will widen and narrow at various points?

Don't get me wrong, it's entirely possible that this fuck weed is saying one thing and doing another just to "prove his point" about germ theory being wrong. But it's inconclusive that what you posted negates the possibility that he was playing in sewage water.

I get where you're coming from, but in the interest of keeping my comment simple I left out that he claimed to be hiking in Dumbarton Oaks Park, which is not far (and downstream) from the picture I posted such that it wouldn't be plausible that it would be that narrow.

But I'll also point out the level of incredulity my comment is getting on a social media site, vs. RFK Jr.'s, which should strike anyone familiar with Rock Creek as almost certainly wrong. Yet everyone in the whole news media is either willfully ignoring this or just too lazy to look into it. And honestly it pisses me off because this lack of giving a fuck about basic facts from reporters who we falsely imagine as being employed in reporting facts shows how much we're in a post-truth society and why we got a con artist as our president.

I think I know how a lot of people are thinking right about now. lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 13 hours ago

He's just a straight up secret nurgle cultists, that was showing his devotion and flouting it

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That if anything's gonna kill these motherfuckers, it's most likely to be hubris that finally does it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

I've said all along that these people will ultimately be done in by their own virtuosic incompetence.

Managing an operation as complex and huge as the US Government by traitors, incompetents, narcissists, Nazis, drunks, addicts, weirdos, propagandists, and criminals is not sustainable. They will eventually burn their own house down, and we should surround the fire, and when one of them tries to escape, we should catch them, and toss them right back in.

Cooking your chicken is gay and will give your children drag queens or something.

this guys gonna get the fucking Darwin award if he keeps doing this 🤦

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

He's got kids and grandkids.

Darwin award doesn't apply here.

He gets the Herman Caine award.

Our best chance is that he gets one of these diseases that is effectively treatable with a vaccine.

Thing is, even with that, he'd just take the vaccine and proceed to lie about it for profit. His father must be turning over in his grave.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Vaccines are for prevention, they don't work as treatment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 46 minutes ago

Some vaccines actually can work as an effective treatment!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

Yeah, that's true.

But I think we both know that if he caught something he'd still get it treated privately and lie about it publicly, lest his grift be endangered, but I'd love it if he got polio and had to try and keep it quiet.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I hope he gets sick and suffers

Maybe we can convince him to drink some of it

That man deserves dysentery
