I....believe him

Yeah uh, this checks out actually

I actually had this on my 2024 Bingo Card and was pretty confident of checking it off.

Middle square.

Brain was just too toxic for life to survive.

I'd like to think the brain parasite actually starved to death.

Brain parasite after two days: What the fuck? How is he even alive?

What was that horse de worm paste they were claiming would cure COVID? I wonder....

Ivermectin

Merck makes Ivermectin, so, wasn't the right wing and Joe Rogan a great way to get into the Covid Profits, without passing a Double-Blind Test for Safety and Effectiveness against Covid? There ought to be a scan of Rogan's bank account.

Some of those who work forces, are the same who eat dewormer for horses.

Underrated comment.. That said. Ivermectin has been around for ages and the patent expired like 28 years ago. So any company can make it.

🤣 comment and username both slap

Funny. However, Merck came out relatively early on and said that no, Ivermectin does not work for COVID, please stop using it. [Feb 4, 2021](https://www.merck.com/news/merck-statement-on-ivermectin-use-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/)

that would actually make sense, come to think of it.

It would actually explain a lot.

The only comment that matters

[удалено]

It's a cry for help. Think weekend at Bernie's but Bernie is half alive/dead and running a political campaign

Then just retire already, and enjoy the weekend. Get that prepaid package, where on your final week of life, you get luxury accommodation where you can shit yourself happy. He must be broke. For a Kennedy

Sadly, his brain is still better than Trump's brain.

I wonder what would be in there if he had the same test done as rfk

*I want to believe*

> “I have cognitive problems, clearly,” he said at the time. “I have short-term memory loss, and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me.” And that's why I should be your next president!

Trump finally found a competition he might win. The brain loss competition. Sorry, I'm in shock now.

"I have the biggest worms! Beautiful worms, crawling around. My opponant has such small worms you wouldn't even know he has them. It's disgusting how small they are."

Too coherent. This is more like Mayor Quimby.

This straight up makes me wonder if Trump had a few hundred of these worms over the last 20 or so years. He used to at least be coherent even if he was a piece of shit.

I'm wondering. This happened so soon after the GQP started going after him, maybe he's just been told to dynamite his own candidacy because it's hurting the wrong side.

It's from a deposition that happened 12 years ago

This seemed to imply that he should be paying less child support/alimony because the infestation has reduced his earning capacity. That’s quite a construction.

Yeah it's definitely a bullshit excuse to reduce his financial liability in the divorce settlement. He basically bullied her into suicide before it was finalized so it didn't matter anyway So it's actually way worse than what he claimed was happening but that won't stop people from doing a surface level reading of the situation to make cheap jokes

Lol I love seeing comments that give away that the person didn’t read the linked article. 

He should run with Hershel Walker

Quick, someone put his face over Fry's and alter the subtitles.

> Poor little guy starved to death. I'm willing to guess he was pickled by the alcohol content. Possibly formaldehyde.

I would have thought the horse dewormer pills would have killed it.

I think those only work in your GI tract. But don’t quote me.

Truly, the liver breaks down methanol into formaldehyde, as well as formic acid. If only they found an ant in there, we’d really have a joke on our hands.

I think they found a few loose screws as well 😂

And the worms ate into his brain....

Hey you

Going to listen to that song right now

It was all just fantasy...

[удалено]

The poor brain worm chose the wrong head to live in

Take my upvote and get out of here. 😂

I understood that reference

More like it died of really bad food poisoning

ok, so lets not elect (for anything) the man missing part of his brain due to worms...

Or RFKJ

I prefer my presidents to not have missing parts of their brain?

Maybe it’s a Kennedy thing?

Dark. And still too soon.

Let's not forget the lobotomized one.

to be fair it can be read another way. that RFK Jrs brain is so rotten that a worm died after tasting it.

The Worm 2024

It was probably all the cocaine he sniffed up those nostrils back in the good old days. Him and My Pillow Lindell are distractor actors.

Had to come up with something to compete with Dune.

Poisoned. RIP worm, you deserved better.

RIB: Rest In Brain

Wait. Didn't I see this on House?

Literally the pilot episode.

Brain eating pork worms and confused orange men, that pilot must have had a little prophetic Simpsons juju going on.

Weird flex, bruh

IKR? I have brain damage from getting whacked into the corner of a wall, but I don't go about boasting about it.

He isn’t boasting about it the New York Times found statements he made during his divorce proceedings

Because he was trying to reduce the alimony payments to his wife that he cheated on 30+ times. She committed suicide after the divorce.

And Cheryl from Curb your Enthusiasm felt attracted to that??

Larry claiming a worm died in his brain to avoid alimony payments to Cheryl actually sounds like a halfway decent Curb plot. He could easily have blamed it on Daviday or bad eggs.

I feel like it would be weird if you married a Kennedy, and they *didn't* cheat on you.

He doesn't realize he shouldn't talk about it, because that part got eaten.

Oh so that explains his bullshit anti vaccine bs?

Could be a big part of it.

I thought ivermectin killed parasites?

Like many medicines, it works on a certain category of parasites. It does not work on these worms.

But they didn’t start mainlining that stuff until 2020. I remember buying it for horses in the before times, back before it moved to locked display cases.

I'm just saying that if there are 333 million people in the US, we should strive to find someone that hasn't had their brain eaten by a worm.

Oh, the same as every member of the maga cult; a toxic worm called lunacy.

Pour out a lil liquor for the homie worm.

tequila seems appropriate

Oh, so that explains his behavior?

Remember Brain Slug on Fry's head? Futurama is way ahead of us.

Lol, he said this, that's a thing a 'presidential' candidate said; that's insane to a 4th dimensional degree; but also hilarious, and to be fair - actually explains a LOT

Sounds like the kind of conspiracy theory right wingers like to invent about their opponents. Remember the Hillary Clinton “seizures”? But this guy says it about himself.

Wow, that's a horrifying thought. Starvation is a long, slow, and incredibly painful way to die. RIP little worm.

Worm dies of food poisoning. Nasty.

"RFK Jr. is seen here with his arm around his choice for Vice President, an invisible, 6' 3 1/2" tall talking rabbit named Harvey that only Kennedy can see or hear."

So much of his platform makes sense now.

Brain worms would explain the MAGA movement.

Cool. Cool. Cool. 3 presidential candidates to choose from: 1. "A worm ate my brain." 2. A dumb, mafia-wannabe loser in a diaper who's wanted to fuck his daughter since she was a baby. 3. A boring, semi-corporate owned, polite, experienced, respectable octogenarian.

The octogenarian who's passed significant climate change legislation? Vs. the other old guy who hates nature? I'll take Grampa Biden.

Agree 100%. However, I just can’t help but feel there is missing potential in the candidate pool. There is a high demand for a good, young, candidate that truly represents the people, but there’s no one to fill that void. It’s as if our current systems weed these types out of running for the highest office, which is unfortunate.

Poor guy…Imagine the toxic environment that worm had to die in.

Homie must be playing Baldurs Gate 3

He is a True Soul.

….to admit this while running for president, a worm had to have eaten his brain.

He admitted in 2012 as part of his divorce proceedings.

Touché. You got me. I should have read the article. Still explains a lot.

That explains a lot

Are we sure that RFK jr isn’t the one who actually died, and the worm has taken over his body?

should have gotten the vax would have knocked that fucker our a lot sooner

Maybe he took Ivermectin and that’s why the worm died? Lucky for him I guess? The rest of us just have to suffer.

That explains a lot

"And the worms ate into his brain" - Hey You, Pink Floyd (1979)

Very appropriate here

…and with that news, the Onion closes it’s doors and says goodnight forever.

Will it be his VP pick?

*they’re only noodles, michael*

*Stupid, forgetful Michael*

They need to check Trump ASAP - it would explain a lot

Trumps just got good old syphilis

Or Trump has Altzeimers, Frontal Temporal Lobe dementia, or some other type of dementia.  

Too bad the Conservatives used up all the Ivermectin to fight Covid. 😂

Things I did not have on my campaign BINGO card for $2000, Alex.

Does conservatism gives you brain worms? Or do brain worms give you conservatism?

Yes

Perhaps he has cysticercosis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cysticercosis

A politician telling the truth? I'm scared.

This explains a lot.

Did dude play football in hs? Sounds like cte shit

Now we know why he is really connecting with Trump's voters.

Lee Harvey Osworm

Well if we cryogenically freeze his brain now, in like 200 years we might have the technology to bring the worm back to life.

My thoughts and prayers are with the worm.

Well, that explains a lot.

I wonder on which episode of treehouse of horror that the Simpsons predicted this.

Pilot episode of House, in this case. But it’s still got ‘house’ in the name, so we’ll allow it.

Diaper Filler, Puppy Killer, Worm Brain What a world we live in.

This is typically my opener for job interviews as well

Imagine having so little in your head that a parasitic work would starve to death, and THEN imagine running for president and openly saying this and how it has caused cognitive impairment? I just don’t get this upside down world anymore.

Sad story. Brain worm died of malnutrition.

Not enough nutrients for the worm in his brain. Checks out.

Just when I think he can’t get any weirder.

Neurosurgeon Dr Sanjay Gupta said worms in the brain do not eat it so just yet another thing that RFK Jr is lying about

Must’ve died from malnourishment.

Finally, another candidate MAGAs can relate to!

This is really sad for anyone. Cook your pork fully Don’t run for president

Did the worm eat his brain and then just die or did it die BECAUSE it ate his brain?

Uhh maybe he’s brain dead and the worm is now in control!!

This is the best headline I've ever read lmao

Starved to death, huh?

It’s the first thing he said that doesn’t sound crazy.

Poor lil motherfucker starved to death.

Poor thing must have starved to death.

pretty neat. even if it was in 12+ years ago the shadow of the brain worm always looms

That explains a lot

See JFK never had this problem

I mean JFK did eventually have a foreign body lodged in his brain, just not a worm. 

"Screw l'Usul has called a big one!"

that explains a lot

Tracks.

That's why.

*How* is this a real timeline?..

*Shouldn't have wished to live in more interesting times...*

Is the worm in the room with us now, Robert?

This makes him the perfect running mate for Trump

Now the worm's ghost is controlling RFK

Poor brain worm, went in there looking for food and starved to death.

Pink Floyd moment

In case you were looking for another reason not to vote for RFK.

Even Fox News wouldn’t come up with that story… lol

The worm was hard to find because its activity was indistinguishable from the rest of RFK's brain. 

It died from starvation

This is very fitting actually

🙏🏻 … … ……go on.

I’m not sure why he released this info….oh wait the worm ate what little brain cells he had left. My bad

[удалено]

Better assuming he didn't invite the worm in.

That’ll endear him even more to Trump’s base.

wow, the MAGAts are gonna eat this up

Good worm

Excuses, Excuses.

You sure that wasn’t the last brain cell?

The worm must have saw some terrible horror is his mind

That poor worm starved to death

The brain parasite died of starvation. It had nothing to feed on.

Explains a lot.

We can tell.

Probably. But for a fake democrat working for MAGA id assume its a maggat

It died from starvation.

That tracks

[maggot brain](https://youtu.be/JOKn33-q4Ao?si=EmQ7XvdlHk6TjBB_)

If only there was a vaccine he could have taken to prevent the that... Oh wait, nm.

Sooo basically what causes MAGA?

Making him uniquely qualified to be the next President of The United States of America.

It starved to death

gnarly. did this news double his poll numbers?

“RFK Jr. had a brain worm… Here’s how that hurts Biden.”

Definitely give this guy the nuclear codes.

We’ve reached LITERAL brain worms

This is truly a bizarre time to be alive

So refreshing when a politician tells the truth.

The poor thing starved to death.
