Don't Poke the Bear

Good Fucking Lord  -  can RFJ Jr (I'm not bothering to type out his entire name) get any weirder? 

I think the short answer is: yes. 

Every few weeks some weird-ass tidbit hits the news cycle, and it's all shit he's admitted to doing.  ...but somehow it's coming out in spurts (no pun intended....honest). 

And this is how you know no one is vetting this candidate. Not the PACs, certainly not the media. 

Perhaps literally no one (RJK Jr too) considers him a true candidate. I don't even think at this point he's a liability to the GOP or DNC candidates. 

So, for those who haven't seen - nor did I, 710 had to read it to me:

In 2014 (?), RFJ Jr sees someone hit and kill a bear with their car. Allegedly leaving the scene. Kennedy, thinking he'll "skin the bear" puts it in his car and drives off. 

So many questions so far - but I'll get to those. 

He drives into NYC KNOWING he has a dinner and then needs to go right to the airport to take a flight. 

More questions, but.....hold on. 

He drives into Central Park, dumps the bear, and puts a bike in front of it so......it looks like someone on a bike hit and killed the bear. 

So. Many.  Questions. 

First of all - he's telling this story to fucking Roseanne Barr on tape. How and why those two even got together for anything are more questions, but not ones to ask at this point. 

As for the questions:

• In what world could any Kennedy - even George - think they could skin a bear? That cannot be in their skill set. They can't drive across a bridge or through a plaza without turmoil. 
• He was going carve the bear for bear meat.  Bear Meat???  Is that a thing?  Doesn't he have a Sam's Club membership?
• Bear hit by a car - has to have open wounds. how did blood not get all over RJK Jr? 
• In what world could RFK Jr. LIFT a dead weight bear and put it into his car??
• He was on his way to NYC for a dinner and then to the airport. He knew this.  HE KNEW THIS. And still stuffed a fucking bear into a car and drove it to the city??
• What in the fuck does RFK Jr keep in his car to actually skin a bear??
• How did he lift a fucking dead bear out of his car and drag it to the bushes in Central Park?
• And wouldn't his trunk (back seat?) be a fucking mess that now sits in an airport parking lot for days? 
• He placed a bicycle next to the bear to make it look like a biker hit and killed the bear. Let's forget the physics involved in that one, the bigger question:  WHERE DID HE GET A BIKE??????
• Did he go to FAO Schwartz and buy one? Did he steal a bike? Did he have one in this trunk - and if so, how'd he fit a bear in there too?  OR - was it a bicycle riding bear that escaped from the circus??
• And last, but not least: did he make his dinner reservation on time?  I mean, he had to change clothes and wash up, right? 

I think if he learned anything from his Uncle Ted is to see (or cause?) an accident and not report it and take matters into your own hands. 

Honestly, I don't even believe someone else hit the bear. It was probably him. The bear's name?  Mary Jo Kopechne.

Prove me wrong!

....and is it any wonder that women would pick bear over man?

Nuts

I'm really not doing two mental health posts in a row - at least about me.  ....but in a way, aren't they all?

I completed a four mile run yesterday and was literally drying myself off (very hot; very humid), and I saw it coming. 

I mean, people on the ISS could see it coming. 

Anyway, if anyone thinks I'm crazy (a word my psychiatrist doesn't really like me to use, btw...), there are some mental health challenges going on with this guy - and his ilk. 

What you cannot see is there are two additional flags of similar size and nature flying from the passenger side as well. 

His license plate?  FREEOH. 

This guy seemingly was just cruising the streets and the metro park system for whatever reason. I'm guessing to stir shit. 

Now, where I was running, the area of town, is more conservative than where I live. So you know, what to do........what to do? 

Two female hikers kept yelling at him. At first I thought it was of support until I made out what they were saying:  "34 CONVICTIONS !!!!!!    34 CONVICTIONS !!!!!!!". 

It made me smile, as it could have easily been pro-whatever. 

Now, these women were togeher, but about to head out on a trail that you know, wasn't overly populated on a Tuesday morning.  Over my run, I only passed like eight folks, half of them twice when I was going out and coming back. 

Guys like this are unpredictable, right? Who knows what someone like him would do to women - let alone women who don't fall in line, in his mind. So I was keeping an eye.

He started SCREAMING at them:  "you'll believe anything you're told!" over and over. 

While there were a number of cars in the parking lot, it was a golf course, so everyone was out on the course. So, he hadn't seen me. 

I then screamed at him:  "You're one to talk. You've bought the bullshit!".   

He hastily drove away, up the hill away from the parking lot. Away from me. Away from the women. 

Maybe he was going that way anyway. Maybe not. 

Maybe he heard me, and realized the error of his ways and went home to burn the flags. I'm sure that was it.

Jezebel

I think we can all agree, no one is calling me an 'optimist'.........ever .

Yet, every now and then I continue to suprise myself, but not in a good way. 

You've seen it here over the Shrub and BLOTUS administrations. There are times I think that the GOP and their ilk can't get / be any worse than they have been. 

.....and I am continually proven wrong. I'm not sure if that makes me an optimist or just a moron. 

Case in point with the new Speaker. 

Let's start off admitting I was wrong that they'd give the job to Jordan. They still elected a election denying, January 6th affirming, anti LGBT and anti abortion guy. Put a singlet on him and let him condone rape and you basically have Jordan.  Or any GOPer these days. 

Did the GOP even want this guy?  When you're on your fourth candidate, to save any kind of face, you have to elect someone.  ......so they did. Right or wrong. 

This above headline isn't even from the Onion. That satirical site isn't clever enough to come up with shit like this. Honestly. 

I dare any journalist to ask the new Douche du Jour to provide the data behind school shootings and abortion. Tie this together for me with facts. Show me anything in which to back up your proselytizing. But this isn't about facts. It never has been. It's about riling folks. It's all they got - like carnies on the midway. 

Let's forget the fact that the Maine mass shootings murder of yesterday were at a bowling alley, so........did abortion do that too?  I haven't heard a beep from that c-u-n-t  Susan Collins about the killings in her home state. She's gotta be torn on what to say and do. Either way she'll flip flop. 

In my head, these turds are actually disgusted that flags are at half-mast for shootings like this. I thinking they're thinking it shows us as being 'weak'.  But much like this new guy, I have nothing to back up that statement. 

I'm not even addressing the procreation piece in that headline. 

I will say, if you women just did your part, there'd be fewer school shootings.  This is kind of all on your watch. 

For shame!

Poison

As if the courts aren't already deciding what a woman can (well, really what they can't) do with their body, now they are moving on to what hospitals and doctors should do. 

Texas, which I still cannot deal with at this point in time, isn't the only fuck up state in the union. Ohio is right there too. 

In West Chester, which unsurprisingly in the southern part of the state - a stone's throw away from Kentucky, y'all - a judge has ruled that a hospital ICU must (yes.......MUST!) give a Covid patient Ivermectin. 

Yes. A woman got a prescription from a doctor (allegedly not an animal one!) and now a judge is forcing the hospital to give it to the patient, who is on a ventilator. 

The order is to treat the patient with it for three weeks, because it is requested by his wife - - - who is not a medical or veterinary expert {shocking}.

Poison Centers across the country are spiking with calls regarding people who have taken it.  Like. I. Care.  This, people, is how Natural Selection works. And why it works.  Let. Them. Die.   Be it by not vaxxing or taking livestock medication. I really don't care.  Not. At. All. 

Yet this is a no win for the hospital and / or healthcare. Should he live (doubtful), it won't be due to Ivermectin - not that you'll be able to tell the Yokel Republic that. If he dies - dollars to doughnuts the family sues the hospital for administering a drug that the FDA has not approved.  Or because they didn't give the drug soon enough. 

At this point, I hope the drug makes it a horrible, painful death that the wife has to watch.

Of course, she might just be in it for the insurance pay-out. 

Still - the courts are making medical decisions - and not just end of life kind of things. This isn't "to pull the plug on a patient who has been brain dead for 8 years".  They are making medical / treatment decisions on something about which they know nothing. You can't even have expert witnesses in this - as this is not a drug for humans, let alone tested on them. There is zero data on this and zero "experts" for the pro side. 

I don't know the repercussions for the hospital if they refuse to comply. Personally, I would transfer that patient out of there quick as fuck. But of course, they'd be sued - live or die.

Crazy Talk

Honest to g-d.   What is it with dipshit GOP (mostly) politicians. 

I get the voters picked him, so in a way, his constituents deserve the dipshit they get. But honest to fucking g-d, look at his thought. I was going to say 'logic', but he is dreaming like a Texan girl; a girl who think she has the right to everything. 

Why he just doesn't think a Ouija board can solve world hunger is beyond me. 

I will say this, as it took me like 18 times of reading it before I truly saw the flaw in all of this:  someone in the GOP is acknowledging climate change ???

Maybe a bunch of black people, Smokey the Bear or moon's orbit can actually solve this problem. I mean, until now, with Louie and the like, climate change was #fakenews. 

Perhaps we should just take the win that between his crazy talk, there is a little acknowledgement of an actual problem in the world, and with this county.
