More on the whale beheading:
So…RFK, Jr. drives around all the time with a chainsaw with a long enough bar to decapitate a whale? I’m guessing he once ran across a dead hippopotamus and realized that the he normally carries in a back scabbard just wasn’t up to the task.

Issues?
He’s nuts.
Any word on what kind of whale it was? Sorry my morbid curiosity is kicking in.
With everything that happened in her life it’s a wonder his daughter didn’t grow up to be a serial killer.
Well, according to the gossip rags, she may or may not be dating Ben Affleck. So…

Assuming facts not in evidence.
According to the video, the whale washed up close to home in Hyannisport.
Did you think he hit the whale with his car? If anyone could do it, he sounds like the guy.
Well, he wouldn’t be the first Kennedy to kill a sentient being in an aquatic car accident, so there is precedent.

RFK Jr has more issues than Time Magazine
How big was this whale head anyway? It couldn’t have been too big if he lifted it to the roof of his van. He must’ve been a bloody mess after chainsawing a whale, if this story is even true.
Clearly he wore the hazmat bodysuit and used the plastic webbing he just happened to have in the car to wrap up and secure the whale head, just like a normal person would do in such a scenario.
“That trunk of humours, that bolting-hutch of beastliness, that swollen parcel of dropsies, that huge bombard of sack, that stuffed cloak-bag of guts, that roasted Manningtree ox with pudding in his belly, that reverend vice, that grey Iniquity, that father ruffian, that vanity in years?”

North Atlantic Right whale?
(See, this how I know he is a repub. nutbag)
Are we sure he’s not from the Appalachian branch of the Kennedy family?
Don’t these guys with dead animal fetishes also own side of the road Motels and kill their guests in showers with knives?

Fuck you. I’ll converse with who the fuck I want. If you don’t like this board, then fucking leave, asshole.
Did you intend to direct this toward me, and if so, why?

Moderating:
Irrespective of your intent, @Moriarty, this is never an acceptable response in P&E. Your response is Pit-level stuff, and I think you know that. In discussion currently with other mods as to whether this rises to the level of requiring a warning.
ETA: It does. This is a formal warning for a completely inappropriate response to someone in P&E.
ETA ETA on August 31, 2024: After discussion in the mod loop and considering the explanation offered in this thread:
the above Warning is reversed. We’ll leave it at a mod note.
Given the subject of the thread topic, I should have thought a more appropriate Shakespeare quote would be: “He has not so much brain as ear-wax," from Troilus and Cressidas. But I suspect the worm got most of the ear wax, too.
I think that poor parasitic worm is really getting the short shrift in being assigned so much culpability in RFK, Jr’s bizarre behavior and deeply unsettling statements. Even if you buy into Kennedy’s claims about the worm and mercury toxicity—which are uncorroborated by medical records make available to the public—it still doesn’t explain his borderline predatory behavior in the ‘Nineties or the sexual assault allegation toward a former babysttter of his children that has received little coverage in the press other than the Vanity Fair article and a mention on a Last Week Tonight piece. If RFK, Jr. was just using ear-wax for cognition, he wouldn’t be nearly as dangerous or repugnant as he actually is, and while I’d otherwise by inclined to credit his behavior to some extent rooted in deep trauma, I think he has aptly demonstrated himself to be a dangerous conspiranoiast, a self-aggrandizing jerk, and quite possibly a verifiable psychopath straight out of a rejected Thomas Harris novel.
That he is also up for a potential Cabient-level position in a hypothetical second Trump Administration is, well, kind of par for the course, really. I mean, what non-crazy person is going to climb into that clown car?

To be specific, he realized he was running late for a dinner reservation at Peter Luger and wouldn’t have time to butcher the animal before a flight he had to catch afterward.
It takes a special kind of lunatic to be en route to one of the finest steakhouses in the world, then see a dead bear on the roadside and say “Hey, free meat!”
