There is a very real possibility that RFK has brain damage from long-term drug abuse.


I don't know about drug abuse but the brain worm, the mercury poisoning... I'm certainly confident in saying he's not right in the head.


He has admitted in interviews that he was addicted to narcotics for 14 years and claims that it made him a better student (while now saying kids should not be taking any drugs)

So? A lot of people have brain damage and don't pursue evil professionally. I myself have a TBI-related disability and yet have not rejected germ theory. I was a long term drug abuser as well! None of these are explanations for his policies.


Same has been speculated about Trump. And Musk is pretty open about drug use.

The "just say no" party, is pretty baked.


Trump is a famous teetotaler so I'd be skeptical there.

When I started getting worried about Elon around 2018 the drugs were part of it but also the persistent sleep deprivation. But there's also the way his father went a bit crazy in his 40s which I only learned about recently.


No to Alcohol, yes. Drugs, maybe. Think of stimulants as performance enhancers.

Along with his ultra rich but antisocial upbringing and the exploitation he was exposed to from a young age with the mines, apartheid and everything I’d say there is no hope for him.


Just looked up why Trump is sober. I think this is the first time I've ever read anything about him and felt some admiration.


Yeah. Basically, his horrid, abusive father drove Don’s older brother, Freddie, to alcoholism. I read Mary Trump’s “Too Much and Never Enough” and it actually made me sympathetic toward Donald. That's not to say I forgive him or that he gets a free pass. But wow, I'm not sure how he could've ended up any different.

The world would be better if Fred Trump Sr were emotionally capable of saying “I love you, son.”


He doesn't drink alcohol or do recreational drugs, but it's surprising that he's aligned with RFK because Trump seems to love fast food and refined sugar. His terrain must look pretty rough!


He doesn't care about a person's beliefs as much as he cares about their loyalty. RFK gave up his presidential run and endorsed Trump, so he proved his worth to get him into power and is rewarded with getting to do his dream job of dismantling agencies that have kept us safe for decades. His father must be spinning like a yo-yo in his grave.


not from the brain worm that ate part of his brain?


Drugs, worm, and mercury poisoning. None of it has been good for his brain.


FYI, the game "Plague, Inc." has a new game type: misinformation.


Oh, to be Madagascar.


Or Greenland. Freaking Greenland.

I swear, it's like a ship goes there only once every two years, and the crew scrubs it down with bleach every day.
