The fuck is wrong with this guy. I mean, apart from the brain worm. Is this just adult-form affluenza?

He's got a sort of radical honesty, but the stuff he's being honest about are all things that should disqualify him from public life. Like, it's refreshing that you didn't lie about your brain worm or nonconsensual groping, but you also don't seem to be at all embarrassed or ashamed of them and you should be.

Yeah basically. He's just following in Trump's footsteps.

Whether they're solely being used as useful idiots is to be seen.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago

I'm not sure it's "radical honesty" to repeatedly push anti-vaccine propaganda. Unless he actually believes it, which is even worse.

Doesn't take a "church boy" to not assault someone, dipshit.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Somehow I have never sexually assaulted anyone despite not even being a Christian.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Obviously you are not a golfer.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

True. And, at least according to a relatively recent MRI, I don't have a single brain worm.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Are you saying you have multiple brain worms?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Strangely, I'm in the same boat.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

I’d argue the church boys know a lot about sexual assault.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 months ago

This is why you know the brain worms have gotten to him. You're supposed to do what Trump did- deny it happens, lose a suit brought on by the woman you raped, have the judge clarify that it was, in fact, rape, then claim you never met the woman after someone shows a photo of you together.

This is more of a priest behavior.

Tbf, for a Kennedy yes.

Unspoken subtext of "I'm the priest?" As if the dichotomy is you are either the priest or the church boy - there is no other option?
