  2. Every family has a crazy uncle you dread seeing on the holidays because you’ll have to listen to all of their kooky theories. Imagine if that uncle was appointed to a position of power.

  3. Jr. wants millions of USA citizens sick, suffering, and dead. It is almost as if he is working for the Kremlin.

  4. The Kennedy family always finds a way to pull itself back into the headlines and this latest clash between Joe Kennedy III and his uncle RFK Jr. is like something straight out of a political drama that refuses to end. It is messy, loud, and full of old wounds that keep being reopened. Joe Kennedy telling his uncle to resign as Health Secretary is shocking on the surface, but in truth it feels like something that was inevitable. RFK Jr. has long been a controversial figure and putting him in charge of health policy was always going to spark chaos.

    The Kennedys live and die by their name and legacy, and Joe is warning that if RFK Jr. continues down this path the entire family reputation will sink with him. The line none of us will be spared is brutal but also very honest.

  7. That’s certainly true. Even if you go out of your way to get the covid vaccine or whatever, his policies make it less likely that *others* will, and herd immunity will be compromised.

    And of course there could always be another pandemic.

  8. It’s way too late. We are literally properly fucted. The dam has been broken. Unfortunately a bunch of people will die, and even then? The democrats will be the blame. Not the guy who does steroids and thinks that vitamin A is the answer to everything!

  9. He is the posterchild against family dynasties. It goes against so much of what this country was formed on.

  12. If only we could get this stupid fuckhead and his friends out of power sooner

  14. RFK Jr. is proof that sometimes the apple falls off the tree, rolls down hill off of a cliff, floats down a river, and ends up drifting out to sea.

  17. Time to give RFK jr the Rosemary proper. Not via the worm.

  20. The problem is if rfk was to step down or be fired just imagine who numb nuts would replace him with.

  21. Someone with RFK Jrs voice as secretary of health would have been a rejected SNL skit for being too obvious/hacky.

  22. Anyone with the Kennedy name should be forcibly removed from the public spotlight

  23. Ha, you think you can bargain with the Horseman of Pestilence?

  26. Americans are fat, sick and nearly dead. The obesity problem is stunning. 40 million Americans have Type 2 diabetes. Addiction kills 80,000 Americans a year. Longevity is falling. Give the guy a chance to make some positive changes and quit showboating to get your name in the press.

  27. Nutjob vaccine and science denier in charge of the health of a nation….yah one of tRumps best appointments…SMH FFS
