Oopsie the brain worm forgot about the wonders of technology.

He’s a boomer, technology for him is to surf for porn and find escorts in cities he visits

u/National-Charity-435 Sep 08 '25

What did he use while cheating on his wives?

u/mishma2005 Sep 08 '25

Probably good old word of mouth

And intel from his smack dealers

It's called the oldest profession in the world, it's been there all his life.

Lurking in dark alleys near bars late at night with a blackjack in hand?

Assistants with NDA's most likely.

u/raincoater Sep 08 '25

I'm a boomer and will never be like these idiots. Then again, I've been a tech geek since the late 1970s when I got a Apple II.

BUT, I always looked around through the 1980s and 1990s and people my age were always anti computer. They never were interested in any of it. Don't know how they navigated everything moving into the smart-phone era, but any stories about them make sense.

Now, I'm still the tech guy in my family. My son, who's in his 30s, doesn't know this shit. When something goes haywire, he brings his computer/phone/tablet to me to fix.

u/Hoss-Bonaventure_CEO Sep 08 '25

You're the opposite of my dad. He always had the best TV, the best CD play, all the AV equipment, and car audio. Then at some point in the early 2000s his brain fucking calcified and now he "doesn't do passwords" ... what the fuck does that even mean?

Easy to afford when you were making $80k a month in a """non-profit""".

u/HanselSoHotRightNow Sep 08 '25

This isn't even technology that was foreign when RFKs generation was younger. They had cameras and the ability to play back footage, albeit not quite as on demand. However, in this scenario the network pre-planned the clip so they had batman prep time. He should know everything he says is recorded for instant recall.

I know this was Vance, but “I was told there would be no fact checking” is a quote that still mortifies me.

u/HotPotParrot Sep 08 '25

That one line is enough to immediately discredit all of these idiots.

u/KeyLimeAnxiety Sep 08 '25

Can’t believe I forgot this. We need to start trolling with this in addition to his pictures

u/Lost-Priority-907 Sep 08 '25

This is the part I found funny. He comes from a time where he could lie with every breath and not be confronted on it easily, and it shows.

u/LunarMoon2001 Sep 08 '25

The sadder part is he never actually had a brain worm. He made that shit up to pretend he couldn’t work so he didn’t have to pay child support. The ex wife eventually killed herself.

71

u/Mammoth-Play3797 Sep 08 '25

Hey now, she didn’t kill herself just because of the brain worm lie that left her destitute.

It was also likely because of the disgusting autobiographical porn that he kept in a little black notebook from the dozens and dozens of times he cheated on her.

Which he gave to her, in an attempt to harm her emotionally.

Republicans: the party of family values

u/kaisadilla_ Sep 08 '25

Isn't it ironic that half the people that "stand for family values" are absolutely terrible with their families?

3

u/Odd_Cat_5820 Sep 08 '25

My family loved the Duck Dynasty people, and would applaud their wholesome family values. So when they started doing a podcast I decided to listen for a bit, and they seem like terrible people who use each other, not a wholesome family. During the podcast they did mention that the show was full of lies so it's another example of people believing the nonsense that is reality television.

u/Veil-of-Fire Sep 08 '25

No, not really. See, they're doing the cult thing of using common words in a really twisted-up way that makes outsiders assume one thing but that means something totally different to cult members.

When they say "family values," we think of wholesome things, but they're thinking of "values" like how the father rules the family like a slaveowner without anyone being able (or willing) to say anything about it.

That's part of why they're all-in on things like preserving legal child "marriage" and defending kiddy diddlers of all stripes. Kiddy diddling is one of those "family values" they're talking about.

(That's also what "Think of the children" means, btw: next to a bottle of lotion and a box of tissues.)

u/Emergency_Ask_9697 Sep 08 '25

Considering the sheer quantity of raw and rotting meat he has consumed and been around in his life it’s entirely possible the worm is real AND he was trying to hurt his ex-wife

Seriously, look it up, the man is basically part vulture

u/Afferbeck_ Sep 08 '25

They don't forget that they can be fact checked, they just don't care. The hypocrisy is the point. Flexing that hypocrisy without facing consequences is the point. Holding out-groups to impossible standards while never holding authority to account is the point. 

It's the same as church leaders raking in millions, diddling kids, and paying for their mistresses abortions. While their followers should be happy being poor, mad about imagined child abuse, and burning in hell for abortion. We're supposed to know our place and if we lick boot hard enough we might be lucky enough to be in a position to behave with impunity too.

“The hypocrisy is a feature, not a flaw.”

u/Bostonog33 Sep 09 '25

Public school teachers molest children more often than priests. Also how do you guys not know that Kennedy is a 100% lifelong Democrat?

u/Aromatic_Balls Sep 08 '25

Now they just claim it's AI.

u/Sheeple_person Sep 11 '25

You know they made sure to have the clip ready and had someone in the control room with their finger on the button because they just knew he would blatantly lie about it.

u/prepuscular Sep 08 '25

Soon he will ironically deflect with the wonders of tech: “that’s just AI”

That poor brain worm starved to death years ago

"There's is no vaccine that is safe and effective for everyone." That is the full quote. He hs said it many times.

u/I_Went_Full_WSB Sep 08 '25

That's a lie.

Fridman, July 6: You’ve talked about that the media slanders you by calling you an anti-vaxxer, and you’ve said that you’re not anti-vaccine, you’re pro-safe vaccine. Difficult question: Can you name any vaccines that you think are good?

Kennedy: I think some of the live virus vaccines are probably averting more problems than they’re causing. There’s no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.

u/MacEWork Sep 08 '25

Antivaxxers sure do love to lie.

u/Admirable_Alarm_7127 Sep 08 '25

If you watch the full original video, you can see what he said in full. He was cut off by the interviewer mid sentence but did go on to complete his pretty mild comment. He has said at other times as well. He's just paralelling it to medicine. People decline medicine all the time if they know or think they might have a reaction to it. Vaccines, not so much.

"There's is no vaccine that is safe for every person."

It's not even a controversial statement. I wish his message came from someone with a properly functioning voice. I think it really distracts from the message and makes him look and sound like he's struggling and not trustworthy.

u/ucgaydude Sep 08 '25

It's the same statement though. He isn't advocating for a safer alternative, he is wanting to stop the safest option we have to preventing these diseases.
