Summary
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accused Bernie Sanders of taking millions from Big Pharma during a heated exchange, but Sanders refuted the claim, stating his donations came from workers, not corporate PACs.
Kennedy repeatedly insisted Sanders was the top recipient of pharmaceutical money in 2020, but financial data shows no corporate PAC contributions to Sanders.
Meanwhile, Kennedy has profited from anti-vaccine activism, earning millions from lawsuits and speaking fees.
The debate ended without Kennedy answering whether he would guarantee health care for all as HHS secretary.
We’re talking about a guy who, I shit you not. picked up roadkill – specifically a dead bear – and kept it in his car all day. He was planning on eating it but got busy. Eventually, it ceased to be fresh enough even for his palate so he decided to dump it in central park. He staged it with an old bike he had in his car so that it looked like a bicyclist rode into it and killed it. This is the quality of decision making we’re talking about here.
That’s how the Internet still helps my mental health sometimes.
…and kids, that’s how you get worms in your brain. (undercooked wild meat)
One thing I really do not understand. How can a bear be roadkill? What does your car look like after you hit a bear?
Lots of bears where I am. If you hit them head on, your car is usually totaled.
This is why bullbars are somewhat common in rural areas. More for deer than bears, though. And you’re more likely to beat crack your radiator than have a total loss, unless you keep driving with a leaking radiator of course…

One of the companies that makes bullbars is called Ranch Hand.
This is massively off topic, but the subject never comes up. I wonder if I could trouble you for independent confirmation that their logo looks like a Ferengi.
Depends on the kind of bear. A black bear cub like this would be like hitting a dog, I suspect. An adult would fuck your car up good.
Depending on the car as an 18 wheel semi will liquidate anything it runs into.
Black bears in general aren’t very big bears. They weigh about 100 kilos on average and are about the height of a person if they are standing but only a meter tall on all fours. I’ve ran across them a few times while out hunting deer and it always surprises me how small they are.
Honestly out of the things he’s said I don’t even care about this. Other than the eating roadkill part this is the kind of shit me and my friends got up to when we were younger.
I doubt you were up to the kind of shit JFK was up to unless you spend your youth on a carcass pit feeding your pet hawk and had your own gang. Behind the Bastards had an episode on RFK Jr and it’s wild.
Just casually driving by myself on a tuesday oh look a bear carcass. Better put that in my vehicle for later. To eat.
3 days later… fuck thats right theres a rotting bear in my car. Better get rid of it in a funny way im going to be making health decisions for the entire country soon
Sure it’s just kids being kids. He was only 61 years old at the time.
Eh, weird but still pretty harmless imo.
yea honestly? it’s funny as fuck, legendary prank. Oh no a dead bear in central park oh noooooo
Hear me out: what actually troubles me is his opinions about vaccines. Strange take, I know.
Yea, far more concerning things about him to focus on.
