News coverage from 2014, when the dead baby bear was found
Really amazing what brain worms cause people to do sometimes
So would this be considered littering or…?
Republicans stop being weird for like 5 minutes.
Oh god another word im gonna have to remove from my lexicon
Except he’s a democrat. Democrats aren’t immune to weirdo conservatives
Which is why he wants a spot in Trump’s cabinet in exchange for an endorsement?
He didn’t run in the Democratic primary because while Democrats can be weird, Democratic voters, including the rest of the Kennedy family, tend to reject this kind of weird.
Because this isn’t weird. This is just completely fucking insane.
He’s not a republican or a democrat.
That’s true, but only as of like a year ago. He was a Democrat for like 50 years. Doesn’t make this (or him) any less reprehensible and bat-shit crazy. I, for one, am glad he changed to an independent party affiliation.
Well, when he was a private citizen he was free to identify with whatever party he chose. But once he starting putting forward his candidacy it became quite clear that his form of politics was not in line with the party in several important ways. So it’s not as if he was a normal democrat for that period and abruptly changed. His differences became clear as soon as he was subject to public scrutiny.
But I would agree that he’s more a part of the political left than the right.
That’s… a pretty well summed and thoughtful description. Thanks!
The Republicans can have him. They love this brain worm kind of stuff. Right up their alley.
He’s as much a Democrat as my cat is a Democrat.
My cat is weird. Do you think she might be a republican?
Possibly, how does she feel about Ayn Rand?
Your cat is probably secretly accepting tuna juice from the communists down the street.
She have an obsessive relationship with couches ?

Never yet met an indoor cat that didn’t.😉

All cats are libertarians.
All cats are theocrats, but they are also each the god of the ruling religion. Keeps everything simple. No voting, no polling, just endless worship.

That’s just a cat that works with explosives.
Brain worms: The gift that keeps on giving!
How many of us can say we never ran out of time to take a dead bear home to skin it and looked around desperately for a place in Manhattan to dump the carcass? If anything, this makes him more relatable.
Very presidential.
“He said he scooped up the dead bear and put it in his own van, planning to later skin it and eat it.”
Fun fact:
Suddenly the brain worm story makes a lot more sense. That happens when you eat undercooked roadkill.
train by day joe rogan podcast by night
It gets better. You should listen to the Behind the Bastards episode on him.
Homie just loves eating rotten meat.
I’ve heard of calling politicians vultures but this is ridiculous.
I’m really not sure why dumping a dead bear is more alarming than the fact that he was dating a dead bear?
Because he claimed that it happened in Central Park, where there are absolutely no bears, alive or dead. The story is ridiculous in the extreme.
It’s like “admitting” to launching a rocket from the Empire State Building.
They were clearly on a date.
It wouldn’t surprise me if he honestly thought so.
Given the stuff in his recent Behind the Bastards episodes, this completely tracks.
I mean, who can say no to the wonderful stench of rancid animal carcasses.
You killed ANOTHER Kennedy!!
It’s a Kennedy miracle!
I need myself a cop-hunting falcon.
LEONNNNNN!!!
Does his voice always sound like that? Listening to him makes me uncomfortable, like listening to someone talk in front a crowd for the first time AND that needs to clear their throat. It’s like nails on a chalkboard.
Yeah, it’s some sort of medical condition, I forgot what exactly.
Spasmodic dysphonia, I looked it up.
I’m starting to think this would be an amusing guy to have as a president.
Yeah, that’s what a lot of people thought with Trump.
Grabbing people by the pussy is a far cry from rucking about with bear carcasses. Also Kennedy knows about and admits his brain worm. Plus he was never in a shitty home alone sequel, professional wrestling, or drama TV. Trump = fascist weirdo loser. Kennedy = if I win we will make American soil great again. A bear carcass will fertilize every river! /S in case y’all couldn’t tell.
Yeah, about that grabbing women by the pussy stuff, you should probably look into what he did with his nanny (and probably a bunch of other women).
Neither are fit to be president, but they’re entertaining in a reality show sort of way.
It would be if the President didn’t have any actual power. His actual policy positions seem to involve bringing back measles and taking money out of my pocket to give it to the who have funded his campaign
Ok so here is an idea. We tell him he won the presidency and follow him with a film crew like that movie with Jim Carey!
…brain worms…
Yep, checks out.
It definitely sounds like he was under the influence of the brain worm when he made the decision to eat the bear.
Y’all need to listen to the Behind The Bastards podcast on this guy.
He is completely F’d up, probably ADHD as hell*, and a few brain cells short of a full worm. It would take decades of therapy to get him to realize what his experiences as a youth did to him, but even then I doubt he’d be capable of acting on that knowledge. Abusive family, neglected to a degree, dealing with the deaths in the family, shipped off to boarding schools…what a complete mess. If he’d been a kid in a more understanding family and not a Kennedy he probably would have been fine.
*I don’t know if he’s getting any help for the adhd, there’s nothing wrong with adhd, but his untreated adhd as a youth caused serious issues with his life. ADHD meds weren’t available until the ‘60s, and I’m sure getting treated for a “mental illness” as a Kennedy wasn’t in the cards.
I think the world would be a far better place if we could get everyone to listen to BtB
I’m a fan, but not without reason. As much as Robert points a finger at people he’s discussing as lacking nuance and tone-deafness, the podcast itself is guilty of this on occasion, though overall they do a good job. They’re not wrong, they just gloss over some things occasionally. That said, overall it’s really a great podcast and I highly recommend it too, just keep some healthy skepticism and do a little reading and framing yourself.

Or sure. Nothing is perfect but the overall message is something I wish I could beam into people’s heads
If he was a woman, his own family would’ve had him lobotomized
He said that, on the fateful day, he was far from Central Park — on his way to a “falconing” excursion in Goshen, N.Y. — when he witnessed a woman in a van fatally strike the bear. He said he scooped up the dead bear and put it in his own van, planning to later skin it and eat it.
Wtf??
Hours passed, Kennedy said, and he ran out of time to take the bear home before catching a flight. As he told Barr, he and some people he was with — he said the others had been drinking — came up with a plan: abandon the bear and an old bike, which happened to be in Kennedy’s van, in the park, taking advantage of the fact that there has been a rash of bicycle accidents recently in New York.
Wtf… why? Is that what rich people do to pass the time? I could imagine a bunch of drunk college frat dudes doing this, but he was 60 years old when this happened!
Check out the Behind the Bastards episodes about him. Dude spent his teens on acid falconing and shooting rats in a farm death pit.
Say what you want about Kennedy, like how he is responsible for a bunch of deaths in Samoa because of his anti vax nonsense, how he is a sex addict and has been a serial abuser to his wives, or how he’s a fucking lunatic, the dude has a solid sense of humor.
He also loves falconing. He once threatened a cop by telling him he had a falcon under his coat and he’d trained it to kill cops, then he shoved the falcon in the cops face.
He would have one of his brothers lie down behind a car and hit it to make a noise, then shout ‘oh God you’ve killed another Kennedy!’. This was shortly after his father was assassinated.
Hello fellow behind the bastards enjoyer
Ah a man of culture
Yeah I’ve been listening for a long time and have heard every episode at this point. Show is a real treasure and I’m always recommending it.
I go on benders listening to all the episodes I’ve missed since the last time I binged a bunch of episodes that made me question humanity.
I didn’t make it far down the list this time, the uhh, the post war German pedophile ring thing really fucked me up.
Cop: What’s under your jacket, son?
RFK Jr: It’s a hawk, and he’s trained to kill cops!

Goddamn, you’re right about his sense of humor, that’s funny (and dark) as fuck.
What’s wrong with eating it though? Better than wasting it
I think something like 80% of bear meat contains trichinosis.
I’m surprised I didn’t know that, some people definitely eat it in my hick-ass hometown
You can eat it, but it has to be well-done, at least 160F in the center to kill the eggs.
Eating undercooked animals is how you get brain worms.
Can’t get 'em twice!
You can however, obtain more
I suggest watching the Behind the Bastards on this guy. He’s weirdly obsessed with death, dead animals, eating bush meat (how he got legitimate brain worms) and rancid rotten meat. Probably all stemming from the death of his dad and his constant abuse of psychedelics and opioids.
Edit: while he was a kid btw, still fucked up, but I’m guessing being part of the Kennedy family isn’t the best. If I remember from the BTB episode, he took acid a bunch

Brain worm origin story?
It’s as reasonable a hypothesis as any other at this point
