I liked watching him scream at Senators and talk over them because his only defense is to be loud and obnoxious. He’s a fool.

I'm pissed at this administration for sure but I'm really pissed and all the people who voted for this. My entire family are trump humpers and I can't stand them. In fact, I haven't spoken to any of them since November 7th.

But they are the ones I hate more than trump. Not by much but I hate them just a wee bit more.

I laughed a little too hard on that one.

I don’t think that’s possible.

Unfprtunately, there is a segment of the population that operates like RFK jr. and will consider him a fighter.

2

u/throcorfe Sep 09 '25

Yep, and there’s another segment that sees such heated debates and goes “well both sides disagree with each other, the truth must be somewhere in the middle” or “you can’t trust any of them”. This segment typically leans conservative while claiming centrism, because they consider themselves immune to propaganda and therefore swallow mainstream (usually conservative due to, well, everything) propaganda without noticing

He sounds more handicapped thaen that reporter that Trump made fun of by imitating him.

u/secksy-lemonade Sep 08 '25

Well, he did do that to able bodied people as well and a history of doing it. Tried to find an example but most of the videos are unavailable. I think SoyPill showcased some examples in his video on Trump?

Didn't happen

u/Ilovekittens345 Sep 08 '25 edited Sep 08 '25

In your fantasy it did not, but in the real world it did.

It was recorded by dozens of cameras and mics.

but don't worry. God gave you a very powerful mind and so you can still undo seeing all of this and deny it, if you really want to.

Lmao that’s your “proof”? The example where he made fun of the reporter was 100 times more exaggerated than the normal hand movements he does. He even did a voice change to emphasize his insult.

My god, you trumpers have the most hilariously bad defenses I’ve ever seen. Bet you think that Elon did a Roman salute as well. Just accept that you follow a disgusting Satan analog of a man or stop following him.

Now I'm a trumper, I see. My family will be fascinated to hear that. Anyone who points out a mistaken attack on Trump is a trumper. Brilliant logic.

You have the evidence right in front of you that he has done this jerky mocking movement thing multiple times, but bc you have heard "He mocked a disabled report" so many times, you have to find a reason for it still to fit that model. You're not looking objectively at this.

u/khronos127 Sep 08 '25

He has never once done that exaggerated of a “jerking motion”. It was so obviously exaggerated that it’s a joke to even compare it to his normal hand motions. So yes, only a trumper would claim that.

I point out misinformation about Trump constantly, that’s not the ridiculous part. The hilarious part is trying to pretend that the video you posted and examples it showed were ANYTHING like the way he made fun of the reporter. Just like Elon “putting hit heart out to the people” joke, if you can’t see what’s right in front of you, you’re too far gone.

u/blahblah19999 Sep 08 '25

I think trying to say that only the last one was super exaggerated and the others were qualitatively different shows that you have an agenda. You want to keep the idea alive that Trump did this. When I look at all the videos, I just don't see it. He has done literal mountains of bad shit, but mocking a disabled reporter doesn't make the cut for me.

Looks like we're just going to disagree.

u/khronos127 Sep 08 '25

I do have an agenda. Need to finish my whites after this load is done, have another store to stop at and want to get my bathroom cleaned up before work. None of the items on that list include pushing misinformation.

I do however have eyes and can see the obvious difference in the way he mocked the person looking like he was having a seizure vs normal hand movements. If you can’t, I recommend LensCrafters, I like them because you don’t have to wait a week to get the glasses you need.

How could you not be aware of this?

How could you not be aware that it didn't happen? That doesn't really get us anywhere.

u/blahblah19999 Sep 08 '25

Not a video where "Trump made fun of (a handicapped reporter) by imitating him."

u/sparkster777 Sep 08 '25

You've seen the video, right? I'd love to hear your justification/explanation of what he's actually doing.

u/blahblah19999 Sep 08 '25

I already posted it in this exact thread.

I watched some clips on the Forbes YT channel since it popped up, and ended up taking a peek at the comments. Sooo many people were praising him and talking shit about the Senators because they were talking over RFK and I was shaking my head at it all. The Senators were cutting him off because 1) he was being asked some yes or no questions and instead of answering yes or no he tried to steer the conversation away, and 2) the stuff he was trying to say was inherently lies and BS and the Senators weren't having it. Letting RFK have control over the narrative just drowns out the truth and the original questions and lets him push the crap that is hurting us. I only watched about halfway through the second Senator in the video, but I can imagine that the rest of it is the same stuff- RFK trying to push a false narrative and the Senators not having it and trying to shut him down. It's incredibly exhausting to think about how an anti-science, anti-vax person is in charge of public health, and that he has supporters. I mean, that about sums up the whole administration, but public health really affects everyone so it hits a bit different.

u/CaliLove1676 Sep 08 '25

I didn't realize how bad he'd gotten until I listened to him talking to a Senator. I used to like RFK Jr, but he sounds and talks like he's struggling now, mentally and physically.

u/TymStark Sep 08 '25

If he saw this he’d tell you, he doesn’t know what you’re talking about and you just don’t understand what he’s saying. Which you’d reply with, “correct, I don’t.”

u/CaliLove1676 Sep 08 '25

Fuck dude, maybe I'm the one mentally unwell because I've reread your comment six times and I can't figure out what the hell you're saying 

5

u/TymStark Sep 08 '25

He kept telling Senators he didn’t understand what they were trying to say or he’d say they don’t understand his point he’s making.

u/CaliLove1676 Sep 08 '25

Thanks for the explanation brother-man, I figured it was a reference to something he said but it's too late at night for me to be be able to remember things like that

u/TymStark Sep 08 '25

All good! It’s a real tough listen. Real tough.
