        Usually, but sometimes it’s a woman in a pond.

          I don’t get this reference. I didn’t find any info on Marilyn Monroe in a pond, BUT to my surprise/confusion I found MULTIPLE websites selling rubber ducks, and inflatable ducks made in the image of Marilyn Monroe as a yellow duckie. Selling anywhere from $5, to $40. To which that just adds MORE questions…

          What am I missing here?

              I’m not sure how I’d never heard of this. It’s always disappointing how the rich and powerful receive different legal treatment than us regular folk.

    All right, I guess. He heard people calling Republicans weird and was like “Wait, don’t forget how weird I am, too!” because he wants to make sure everyone knows he’s still a Republican in his heart.

    I don’t get how, in the span of about a decade, he went from being an intelligent activist to batshit insane.

      He was always weird, it just wasn’t public knowledge. The guy liked to spend his free time surrounded by dead animal carcasses as a child, carried a hawk with him constantly, sexually harrased a significant amount of women, and has been a prominent anti-vaxxer for like 20 years.

          Apparently, ten years ago, RFK Jr was dumping a dead bear in Central Park.

    In the video, Mr. Kennedy appears to be seated in a kitchen as he casually tells the actress Roseanne Barr about the ordeal. He says that he was driving through the Hudson Valley when he saw a woman in a van hit and kill a young bear.
