"In related RFK Jr. news, Mary Trump reported this week that Kennedy has just hired as his comms director Del Bigtree, a fellow lunatic anti-vaxxer who literally was a speaker at Donald Trump’s January 6 insurrection rally."

Del Bigtree is a FAMOUS lunatic anti-vaxxer. He is, according to Wikipedia, "the CEO of the anti-vaccination group Informed Consent Action Network. He produced the film 'Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe,' based on the discredited opinions of Andrew Wakefield and alleges an unsubstantiated connection between vaccines and autism."

I wondered whether the name "Bigtree" was maybe just a misspelling of "Bigotry," but I couldn't find any evidence of that.

What the evidence DOES show is that Del's middle name is Matthew, and that his first name is, in fact, Del. It isn't short for anything; it's just Del. Maybe he was named after canned tomatoes.

70? I'll be 70 this summer, and while my avatar is an old photo, he looks old enough. to be my FATHER. I'm so glad he's not any relation to me.

Turning 70 in July myself......sure glad I haven't lost my freakin' mind like this moron. I did my fair share of 'recreational' substances in the '70s-'80s, but at least I'm still semi coherent.......apparently heroin is a VERY cruel mistress.....

Dante's inferno contains a level where the undead must listen to RFK jr blatherings in his real "voice" on looooop ad infinitum. So, don't sin, kids.

Martin Sheen isn't coming. Bradley Whitford posted on X on Sheen's behalf: “I wholeheartedly support President Joe Biden and the democratic ticket in 2024. Sincerely, Martin Sheen”

Whichever unfortunate state will be hosting, I'm pretty sure their positivity rate for infectious diseases will increase, please bill the PAC accordingly.

Well I certainly can't go, even if I donated $10,000. The 5G in my bloodstream from all my Covid and other vaccines would give me away and get my ass bounced from the soiree.

Lololol love it

You’ll actually be shedding vaccine on them, ruining their pure blood. I gotta say, though, the 5G reception in my fillings gives great stereo effects!

I'm tellin' ya, Trump goes down, the MAGAts are going to swarm to RFK, Jr. These guys can't even feel alive unless they can get their freak on.

I absolutely adore no fucks to give Dionne Warwick. She can do no wrong in my eyes!

One of the greatest things ever was when whatever niece(?) showed Auntie Dionne what Twitter was. She is pure salty gold!

Her niece deserves a medal!

JFK Jr. isn't going to be there? I thought he would be supporting his cousin and the family name. Even though he's dead.

He's going to be Trump's running mate. They want to save him for the campaign.

Thanks, Evan, for "mental abscess" - my first lol of the day!

All of this would make a fantastic Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.

After looking at my schedule and checking with my agent, I sadly report that I will not be able to make RFKjr's birthday party.

I have multiple abortions scheduled that day. My electric car has been on fire (Tesla, of course), so I’m a few days behind.

OMG, same!

So Jed Bartlet supports this guy?

The interwebs are split - a lot of people say he is prone to conspiracies while others portray him as a staunch Democrat.

In any event, he'd better say something soon.

He's not going, and he supports Pres. Biden.
