Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

This is the least bad thing this guy has done. It's really not worth the attention it's getting. It doesn't hurt anyone the way his vaccine skepticism does. I'd rather him be doing some hands on science than getting lost in conspiracy theories.

What the fuck is with this guy and roadkill?

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Serial killer behavior. I’m convinced we’ll see a Jinx documentary about him in like ten years.

[–] partofthevoice@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Didn’t Jeffery start with roadkill?

[–] RaoulDuke85@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He was the reason his ex wife killed herself

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Her death also seems to be at least a little suspicious from what I read.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 6 points 23 hours ago

He's a narcissist. That's like a psychopath but worse.

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He didn't want the parasite in his brain to be lonely

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 7 points 1 day ago

Must be crowded there by.now.

[–] Heikki2@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Its how Dahmer got started. I'm pretty sure the only reason he isn't currently killing is he has always had the $$$ to not get caught or desperate... yet

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

He's a junkie.

[–] Raglesnarf@lemmy.world 51 points 1 day ago (2 children)

c'mon guys, we were all 47 once. give the guy a break

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 4 points 22 hours ago

I haven't been 47 yet. In fact, like half the world's population is under 30

[–] shweddy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

We is too many peiple

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Where is this guy's PR team? Seemingly every other thing he says involves directing roadkill, often the genitals. You'd think there would be someone around to tell him 'normal people dont do that.'

Or at least that if he has to mention mutilating a corpse, to pause and add a dramatic "for science!" Afterward.

"RFK Jr once cut penis off ‘road-killed raccoon, for science!' in New York? New book revealed' sounds way less psychopathic

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 4 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Hold on, was he trying to change the rodent's gender? Reminds of when Trump defunded transgenic research because he thought they were making the mice transgender

[–] kylie_kraft@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

things are bleak af but if we survive this, the books that historians write about this administration are going to be butt nutters

The fact anyone takes this guy seriously. We are cooked. He should be locked up in an asylum, or living in a shack in rural Alabama, ranting to his co workers at Walmart about democrat brain worms.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago

This dude is such a fucking moron. Ignore real science, and then pretend to do your own science on goddamn roadkill

[–] GirthBrooksPLO@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Why is it that every new thing I hear about this bozo is batshit insane.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

He thinks he is the normal one.

“I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be,” Kennedy wrote in the journal.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

He just wanted the baculum to snort drugs with

[–] __Goblin@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Man's gotta eat.

[–] Doug@piefed.social 8 points 1 day ago

My spouse and I still use “the day got away from me” as an excuse for forgetting the stupidest fucking things ever. Like him and his bear carcass or whatever it was he left in Central Park.

This fucking moron should’ve been laughed out of society along with the others, but instead here we are; wearing jeans in saunas.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This guy is obsessed with roadkill. He always has been. He hung out with carcusses in highschool and college and would keep roadkill in his fridge. Like, many roadkills in his fridge.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago

I remember April 16 like it was 6 days ago.

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't believe it.

I do not believe he did this, just once.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Cheryl has a collection.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

To the Icelandic Phallological Museum what people stealing copper out of AC units are to the Museum of Science and Industry.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Why is he pathologically obsessed with roadkill?

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

The brain worm hungers for rotting flesh

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

This news is already ancient, as so much new bad and weird shit is happening.
