RFK Jr faces call for investigation into claim he chainsawed whale’s head off
theguardian.com

His independent White House campaign has fizzled, but the flow of bizarre stories of Robert F Kennedy Jr’s unorthodox handling of the carcasses of wild mammals has experienced no similar suspension.

An environmental group is calling for a federal investigation into the former presidential candidate for an episode in which he allegedly severed the head of a washed-up whale with a chainsaw – and drove home with it strapped to his car’s roof.

The episode has parallels with another extraordinary tale reported earlier in August in which Kennedy confessed to dumping a dead bear cub in New York’s Central Park and attempted to make it look like the animal was killed by a bicyclist.

The latest grisly revelation, about the whale head, is not particularly new – it stems from a 2012 interview Kennedy’s daughter Kick gave to Town & Country magazine, in which she talks about a visit to other family members of the political dynasty in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, more than two decades prior.

I heard his brain was so poisoned that the worm just died and was rotting in there.

Who is piloting that shit show of a man then? Perhaps a bear shed it skin for a laugh and slipped into his man suit?

Maybe he’s like a jelly fish now. Just reacting to stimulus, and screaming nonsense is just like involuntary muscles twitching.

It wouldn't be Lemmy if we didn't make fun of mentally disabled people 🥰🥰🥰

I'd have less of a problem with mentally disabled people if they would stop running for president.

Any person with down syndrome would be more competent and have significantly more empathy than several former US presidents I can think of.
