Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

We're talking about a guy who, I shit you not. picked up roadkill -- specifically a dead bear -- and kept it in his car all day. He was planning on eating it but got busy. Eventually, it ceased to be fresh enough even for his palate so he decided to dump it in central park. He staged it with an old bike he had in his car so that it looked like a bicyclist rode into it and killed it. This is the quality of decision making we're talking about here.
The video that he released where he’s telling the story to Rosanne Barr of all people, is absolutely unhinged.

(Sorry for twitter link… is there a way to post to mirror site for twitter?)
...and kids, that's how you get worms in your brain. (undercooked wild meat)
That's how the Internet still helps my mental health sometimes.
One thing I really do not understand. How can a bear be roadkill? What does your car look like after you hit a bear?
Lots of bears where I am. If you hit them head on, your car is usually totaled.
This is why bullbars are somewhat common in rural areas. More for deer than bears, though. And you're more likely to crack your radiator than have a total loss, unless you keep driving with a leaking radiator of course...

One of the companies that makes bullbars is called Ranch Hand.
This is massively off topic, but the subject never comes up. I wonder if I could trouble you for independent confirmation that their logo looks like a Ferengi.
Heh yeah I can see the resemblance
Thank you.
Depends on the kind of bear. A black bear cub like this would be like hitting a dog, I suspect. An adult would fuck your car up good.
Depending on the car as an 18 wheel semi will liquidate anything it runs into.
Black bears in general aren't very big bears. They weigh about 100 kilos on average and are about the height of a person if they are standing but only a meter tall on all fours. I've ran across them a few times while out hunting deer and it always surprises me how small they are.
Honestly out of the things he's said I don't even care about this. Other than the eating roadkill part this is the kind of shit me and my friends got up to when we were younger.
I doubt you were up to the kind of shit JFK was up to unless you spend your youth on a carcass pit feeding your pet hawk and had your own gang. Behind the Bastards had an episode on RFK Jr and it's wild.
Just casually driving by myself on a tuesday oh look a bear carcass. Better put that in my vehicle for later. To eat.
3 days later... fuck thats right theres a rotting bear in my car. Better get rid of it in a funny way im going to be making health decisions for the entire country soon
Sure it's just kids being kids. He was only 61 years old at the time.
Eh, weird but still pretty harmless imo.
yea honestly? it's funny as fuck, legendary prank. Oh no a dead bear in central park oh noooooo
Hear me out: what actually troubles me is his opinions about vaccines. Strange take, I know.
Yea, far more concerning things about him to focus on.
