Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

No need to qualify that...

"RFK Jr. Knows Amazingly Little ~~About Autism~~"

[–] wanderwisley@lemm.ee 20 points 1 day ago

RFK. Jr knows amazingly little about ANYTHING.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I pity the brain worm. Poor little fella must've been starving at the end.

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I'm pretty sure it was poisoned by RFK's thoughts.

The last two words are not needed.

I'm not amazed either. The remainder of the title now reflects reality

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

But first add quotation marks around knows and then it’s fine

[–] RockBottom@feddit.org 8 points 1 day ago

But did he do his own research??

[–] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It might be easier to create a list of things he knows amazingly a lot about.

  • ~~Cooking bear meat~~
  • Decapitating whales

  • How to get people to store roadkill for your pet hawk in their own fridge.

According to my Republican handbook autism is what happens to you if a vaccine doesn't manage to make you fully gay.

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As we all expected, RFK Jr. knows little about Autism.

FTFY

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As we all expected, RFK Jr. knows little about [insert ANY subject]

FTFY

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Expanded accurately. For sure.

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

His friend claims to be autistic and is the richest man in the world trying to take over the most powerful government.

Though, looks like he is right about not paying taxes or not being able to hold onto a relationship.

I am not that amazed actually

[–] ZDL@mstdn.social 7 points 1 day ago

@jeffw I feel you could replace that last word with almost anything.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

He knows a lot about being an idiot though!

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago

I want to see proof that there's no worm in his knuckle.

[–] moitoi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

RFK Jr. is a puppet and serves the interest of ~~Trump~~ Elmo.

[–] SherBeareth@mastodon.world 2 points 1 day ago

@jeffw Surprised? The Kennedy Force being used for evil. My great nephew was diagnosed with autism at age three this year. He can only say three words but has a beautiful soul.
