In reply to the discussion: How Kamala Harris Burned Through $1.5 Billion in 15 Weeks [View all]Brenda
(1,355 posts)35. RFK Jr. was 60 YEARS OLD when he dumped the bear, not 40 something.
But most excellent post bronxiteforever! Except for the incorrect age of the dude: I mean 40's would have been shocking enough.
It was 10 years ago he did that.

RFK Jr. admits to dumping a dead bear in Central Park, solving a decade-old mystery
August 5, 2024
I had to go to the airport, and the bear was in my car, and I didnt want to leave the bear in the car because that would have been bad, Kennedy continues.
Then, as he put it, the little bit of the redneck in me had an idea.
Kennedy just happened to have an old bike in his car, which he said someone had asked him to get rid of. He recalled that the city had just put in the bike lanes after a number of serious accidents, and decided to stage the bear in Central Park as if it had been hit by a bike.
I wasnt drinking, of course, but people were drinking with me who thought this was a good idea, Kennedy said. So we went and did that and we thought it would be amusing for whoever found it, or something.

It also includes a photo of Kennedy, who was 60 at the time, posing with his hands inside the bears bloody mouth and an exaggerated grimace on his face.
Maybe thats where I got my brain worm, he told the magazine.

Having posted that, I actually like a lot of his previous work and books that call out the revolving door of industry and government and what a disaster that is, especially with Big Pharma. But he clearly has lost his mind to even sit in the same room with Chump much less join in the new fascist administation.

Even if this is accurate, WNYC and economists are doing Dem messaging? How is this on Dems?
