Or at least the Senate, if there are any sane Republicans left there.

why hasn't his family locked him up?

Same reason why Trump’s family has not done a mental health intervention. For the Trump family it’s all about Power. For the Kennedy’s those brave ones already sacrificed too many with their lives. Power corrupts and it takes brave souls to step up.

They are too embarrassed to even try. Their denial of him is pretty damning.

In the Kennedy clan, to be shunned by the family is an extreme last resort. My interpretation is that, whatever reason(s) the clan as a whole decided to put RFK Jr on the "Shun List", it has to be extremely appalling & disturbing.

Rosemary Kennedy had mild -- emphasis mild --mental slowness due to birth complications when her mother decide she was going to hold the baby in instead of having a doctor that wasn't hers.

so, because her father was embarrassed by what were again minor mental health issues as described here:

https://people.com/politics/letters-jfk-sister-rosemary-kennedy-lobotomy/

he had her lobotomized and institutionalized for life.

her siblings wouldn't see her for years, and when they did again they were so horrified the advocated for the original Americans with Disabilities Act --she's literally the reason we have it.

so,because Joe Kennedy was embarrassed , he destroyed his daughter, and now the family overcorrects in the other direction when it comes to mental illness - they don't act at all.

adding to this, this is the most generous version of what he did. a lot of the other stories about it claim that she was just very outspoken and not particularly disabled at all mentally --just socially unacceptable because she was a woman who spoke her mind--which adds to the horror of the situation.

Google her name.

bring tissues:-(

Rose was the mother's name. Rosemary was the daughter. I'm very aware of what her father had done to her.

you're right, I got the name wrong.

I'll edit in the correction now --thank you :-)

Thank you for clarifying and fixing, Dot. I agree with the "What about her?" post in that I won't go look at such time-occupying urls but would prefer the explanation of why to go there, that you then supplied, come first. Or some shorter summary of it to let me know whether I would want to go read or see that. Not picking on you; I often don't follow mere urls. Usually, I need a title at least.

I was vaccinated and I have an IQ of 136. I am also a an RN with a BSN. I have more medical experience than this idiot. Maybe we just let the idiots die and call it natural selection.

That is funny. They will try to stop so much. Vaccines...Studies on other diseases. They are dumber then a rock. 😵‍💫

It’s so sad, and scary.

Yes, it is. How people can be so stupid is beyond me. SMH

I have had numerous vaccinations and I have an IQ of 140. What is wrong with people? Thank God my parents believed in science. When the polio vaccine came out, they made sure I was vaccinated ASAP. But then these anti vaccination people have not seen the damage done by diseases such polio--I have. My childhood was filled with images of iron lungs and braces.. My father was a GP and I was a CNA and yet I have more medical knowledge than RFK, Jr.

Expand full comment

Yes I too had experience growing up with the tragedies of polio- braces, permanent disability, iron lungs, deaths-both young & old. Anyone who has done any health service in 3rd world countries has seen the devastation of no vaccines.

Expand full comment

My father was a polio victim and his brother died. I had a neighbor who contracted measles as an adult, nearly died and spent 1 week in ICU and 3 weeks in the hospital. I hate these people. If they were the only ones who would be impacted, it might be alright.

Looking for weird quotes from RFK Jr is like looking for stamps at the post office.

Viruses are not our friends as Covid showed us and I’m vaccinated against shingles after seeing a friend get it and was in serious pain. This guy is just a conspiracy theorist.

I mean, it’s not like he chainsawed the head off a dead whale, tied it down to the top of his minivan, and drove it home with the windows rolled down and his kid in the van getting whale juice all over…oh…wait.

He’s nothing but a conspiracy nut - even his family distances itself from his craziness.

Unfortunately, the only one that magas will care about is #2. Watch Mountain Dew stock soar after these jackasses hear that water will turn their kids trans. 🙄

I have no sympathy for amy trump voters who suffer because of these idiots. Sadly, Dems will also suffer.

He needs an intervention! I’m getting all my vaccines updated immediately!

I mostly have ignored JFKjr. Now I know why. His voice is gratingly unbearable. And he is freaking nuts. I think he made up all the anti-health statements he spouts, that he believes are true. He doesn't make sense to me. He single-handed will decimate the US population, maybe twice that.

Expand full comment

I’m with you. Just want to point out one little thing that you may not be aware of. His voice is the way it is because he suffers from Spasmodic Dysphonia. I have it as well. It’s a neurological disorder and it absolutely sucks. It’s VERY difficult to speak at times and we all sound like this to varying degrees. Most people with our disorder don’t like to claim him because he’s a complete nutcase. But his voice is really nothing he can control - there is no known cure - and not likely to be one with him in charge of HHS.

Thank you so much for explaining this! I did think something was medically wrong!!! I appreciate the explanation. I am so sorry you deal with this, Pat.

Expand full comment

My pleasure! It’s a pretty rare disorder so many medical professionals are unaware.

After allowing (and even encouraging) so many extra deaths from the pandemic, now we get to see how many people this turd can kill? Oh, my beloved country, what will happen next?

I have an IQ of 140 and am a physician. I have 4 children: a teacher, a civil engineer, a computer engineer and a controller

All of us were vaccinated so suck it RFK. You are an ignorant, dangerous man as is Trump. God help us!

Thank you! My father was a GP and he made good and sure I got all my vaccines. Although only a retired CNA, my IQ is 140. If vaccines had been so harmful you couldn't prove it by us.
