RFK Jr, who doesn't have a medical degree, says he can diagnose children by just looking at them

[douglas9]

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. asserted, on Wednesday, that he could tell when a child is dealing with “mitochondrial challenges” or “inflammation” by just looking at them.

Lamenting about the health of America’s youth, Kennedy, who does not hold a medical degree, espoused misinformation about juvenile diabetes and autism rates while claiming he can look at a child and determine they are sick.

“I know what a healthy child is supposed to look like,” Kennedy said during a press briefing with Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who signed a Make America Healthy Again bill on Wednesday.

“I’m looking at kids while I walk through the airports today, as I walk down the street, and I see these kids that are just overburdened with mitochondrial challenges, inflammation, you can tell it from their faces, from their body movement, and from their lack of social connection,” Kennedy continued.

Kennedy joined Abbott for the bill signing, which seeks to implement “MAHA” policies to improve childhood health, such as requiring extra warning labels for foods containing certain additives, prohibiting SNAP beneficiaries from using funds to purchase sweetened beverages and candy, removing certain additives from free to discounted school lunches, and more.

1. Wow! Special powers.

I guess that's all we need.

[Efilroft Sul]

12. Goat vibrato diagnostics activate!

[Marthe48]

2. I diagnose rfk as a burned out druggie

with less brain power than pond scum.

[yardwork]

26. With personality disorders and delusional thinking.

Also, poor impulse control.

[Cloudhopper]

3. The very definition of "a quack." n/t

[marble falls]

4. Coincidently enough, I can diagnose mental illness when I look at these guys' photos ...

?ve=1&tl=1

Birds of a feather .....

[GreenWave]

31. You can see him grimace as the coronavirus mother ship enters the wormhole

and induces anti-virus hysteria in his mouth.

[Torchlight]

5. Captain Brainworm strikes again

Defending us from oppressive vaccinations, hand washing, and healthy teeth. Another skeevy idiot running a con on idiots.

[Ilsa]

6. And Trump was gifted with the super-power of knowing

what Putin is thinking, how to create a great economy, always shoot well under par and better than any golf pro, and knows that all women and many men want to fuck him, just not the way he expects.

[usonian]

10. He's a sexual hero. In his demented mind.

[allegorical oracle]

15. The scary bit is that Kennedy is only one of the idiots who believe they have some

mysterious power. But it's more like an alternative universe constructed by their overwhelming egos.

Day after day headlines report that djt's popularity is falling...that DC is suffering due to the troops' presence. Yet he goes before cameras to announce that people are flocking into DC now that it's "safe". He ignores poor polls.

Similarly, dozens of medical experts are announcing how the CDC's in a crisis due to its brain drain. And Paul Krugman is announcing a "five-alarm fire" if djt guts the Fed.

Same warnings about education, disaster response, FAA, NOAA and DHS. But nothing phases the Congress to act.

Has everyone gone crazy? Are they whistling past the graveyard? Or do they have sinister take-over plans and we're merely watching the stage being built for a full-on dictatorship?

[usonian]

17. Getting back to root causes.

It appears to me that the entire coup, which was decades in setting the table, is the result of ONE PERSON'S blackmail by Putin over videos of the Epstein variety, which may or may not be different from Epstein Studios productions.

They are THAT damning.

(repost)
I thought that the summit was to exchange some billions in diplomatic pouches in exchange for videos.

Why his disappointment?

But it appears that Putin raised the price. No amount of money will do. Only the utter destruction of the United States. No less.

Whether realization of this or other hideous transgressions sinks in, who knows? It will take something that large or a heroic act.

35. That's occurred to me, too. Putin's hold over djt has been inexplicably tight. nt

[Ilsa]

23. That's exactly the meme I was thinking about! nt

[usonian]

7. Did I mention that this is the most racist government since Jefferson Davis?

[tanyev]

19. And then Trump and RFK Jr go to great lengths to darken the appearance of their skin.

It’s absolutely bizarre.

[usonian]

21. Blackface returns?

What sick fuks.

[Ilsa]

25. They really believe they look better, healthier,

with makeup, excessive tanning. They have no idea how artificial and superficial they look.

RFK, jr has poor critical thinking skills. I can think of a half dozen reasons a child might look "off" in an airport: Exhausting vacation, attended funeral, argument with cousins, caught a bug, slept poorly on flight, ate poorly during trip.

[yardwork]

27. That was a thing back in the day.

When Trump and RFK, Jr. were young, wealthy people liked that "tan glow" look because it indicated that they had time for vacations and outdoor leisure, and weren't chained to a desk. The rest of us emulated it.

Later most of us figured out that lying in the sun to get a tan was unhealthy so we stopped doing it. Trump and his cronies are still stuck in the 80s.

[Bayard]

36. I've seen no mention of trump not dying his hair anymore

I keep thinking of what Pres. Kennedy, RFK Sr., and Sen. Kennedy would have made of junior now. I'm betting he wouldn't be this screwed up.

[Mysterian]

8. It's past time for the American people to rise up and end the insanity

We must rein in the power of propaganda. The First Amendment has limits and promoting a seditious coup should not be protected speech.

[The Blue Flower]

9. The lunatic knows some BIG words

He can pronounce 'mitochondrial', so we're supposed to be impressed with his knowledge. Doesn't make him any less a murderous lunatic.

[Johonny]

11. But only when he is high on heroin

He added.

[Norbert]

13. He is a human MRI machine.

Whoa thought.

[Blue Owl]

14. I still can't believe that outright fucking kooks like him, Kegsbreath, Miller, Noem, et. al. have risen to 'the top'

[mwmisses4289]

18. All because the barest majority of those who chose to vote

were terrified of having a competent, knowledgeable woman of color as President.
Is it wrong of me to hope the gods send a version of covid deadly only to these idgits?

[yardwork]

28. I'm heavily into revenge fantasies these days.

[3catwoman3]

30. Me, too. I live in a state of constant incredulity...

…and horror.

Lack of expertise and willingness to ass-kiss seems to be the main “qualifications” all Trump appointees have.

[leftstreet]

16. Creepy guy walks around looking at children

okay

[kacekwl]

20. A real media would report on this

completely insane and irresponsible statement and immediately call for him to step down and seek help. Then demand orange anus fire his ass now. Anything else is incompetent and irresponsible.

[TheBlackAdder]

22. He's the Ped Whisperer

[struggle4progress]

24. He's not the sharpest bulb; and he's a few screws short of a full deck

[DBoon]

33. his bulb isn't just dim

it is also cracked

[MaineBlueBear]

29. He's a lawyer whose throat is trying to keep him from talking

[Paladin]

32. Oh, that's just fucking SWELL.

And you'd figure he'd make such an asinine statement, accompanied by a piece of shit like Greg Abbott.

There's a movement underway to get RFK Jr. to resign, right now. Contact your Democratic Senators and Representatives and demand that they join Patty Murray's efforts to make this happen. If ever there was a life-or-death issue that needs immediate action, this is it.

[Attilatheblond]

34. Not unlike ICE being able to discern citizenship or legal status by noticing color of a person's skin?

RFK Sr should've 'pulled out'.

[allegorical oracle]

37. Was thinking about RFK and JFK -- what would they think of Jr. now? Thing is,

the very private Caroline Kennedy warned everyone about her cousin Bobby. MAGAs ignored her.

[BigmanPigman]

38. RFK jr also goes by his other name, God.
