Your move, brain worms.

- They'll be sending in some Secret Service brain worms dressed in tiny black suits and itty bitty sunglasses to protect the OG. Rest assured, it will be safe.

- Sir! They're already inside the perimeter!

You know what?

Good on RFK Jr. 50 years ago just the thought of him being able to escape the political shadow of the previous generation of Kennedys would have been laughable.

But when I saw this headline I legitimately forgot about his dad and uncle both being assassinated. My brain went straight to the brain worms.

It's honestly kind of crazy he's not just a Jeb! type guy whose only notable feature is his last name.

- whose only notable feature is his last name.
  
  "Running for president despite the brain worms" is also quite notable.

- If we judge a man on the content of his character instead of judging him on the worm content of his brain… we’ll judge Kennedy worse

- Jeb¡

- yeah Jeb! should've shit his pants on stage so he would be remembered as the guy who shit his pants on stage rather than just a Bush.
  
  sometimes not being notable is the better outcome

Secret Service had to be punished for their screw up.

44
- "screw up"

  Either way you look at it they screwed up

What a completely random thing to do.

28
- It makes sense to me. Biden and Trump have Secret Service detail already. RFK does not. Biden wants to make sure that it at least looks like all 3 candidates are being protected from more violence.

  But why JRFK Jr and not Jill Stein or Cornell West?
  
  17
- But imagine the consequences of not doing it, and him getting assassinated! Not worth the risk. Also, i assume this is the future standard Trump is looking into. Competition being legal targets for the sitting president

Worm beat them to it

Kennedy is still trying to appear on ballots across the country, and his presidential aspirations are a long shot.

😬

I guess they'll have to shoot the brain worm out

11
I get it, but I mean... their track record isn't so great with Kennedys assassination attempts.

Only RFK and not other candidates?

- I'd bet the vast majority of Americans can't name any candidates besides Biden and Trump and that some could not name them either.
  
  12
- Trump already has the SS.

Yeah, I think this Kennedy is probably pretty safe unless you count questionable life choices.

The worm is going to have a dedicated agent

He's so desperate for attention he'd jump in front of a bullet

Should've had secret service protection long before now. The guys had to relatives assassinated.

1
- I understood that reference

Hahahaha. No one takes this guy seriously. This is only done because it looks good. There’s no threat to the guy who can’t possibly win because there’s no point in taking him out.

But also, there go my tax dollars when I’d like them to pay for roads, teachers, etc. Fuck you for running Bobby, you lying sack of shit (see takedown by Maintenance Phase podcast; the dude’s a lying liar).

- All your taxes do is take money out of circulation.

  Are you under some bizarre impression that the government just hoards everyone's money when they collect it?

Not seeing why, no way they would try a second false flag the same way so close in time.
