      Personally I’m expecting him to get shot, not even necessarily for being a shitstain but because he is a Kennedy. If some dumbass can try to kill Reagan to impress Jane Fonda(?) for some reason then someone will want to kill RFK Jr for the meme.

            From what I recall, she was always out of the closet, even when Hinckley was on live with her. He was just clueless.

          Your comment led me down a rabbit hole. I don’t know much of actors - I suck with faces and my unmedicated ADHD makes watching movies a chore, so I rarely do it. That means there are a lot of names I hear that don’t have faces attached. Jodi Foster is one of them.

          Starting at her Wikipedia page, I went Jodi Foster > Bugsy Malone > Scott Baio > a news article from 2016 about Nancy Mack, the wife of RHCP drummer Chad Smith, being accused of attacking Scott Baio at a children’s school function by imitating how Trump treats women.

          TLDR

          Baio claims she repeatedly screamed, “Grab 'em by the pussy.”

          Baio asked Nancy to stop, but he claims she kept repeating the comment because she felt everyone needed to hear it, cause Trump used it. Baio told cops at that point Mack attacked him, grabbing him under his arms and then shaking and pushing him.

          Sources close to Mack say she was merely trying to show Baio how Trump hugs women and denies any intentional physical aggression.


          I had never heard this story before, but found it morbidly interesting. It sounds to me like both sides were right - it was inappropriate, but that was the whole point.

          Ooh, and I found an update!

          TLDR

          The Ventura County D.A.'s office has reportedly rejected the case on the grounds of “the assault just wasn’t that bad.”

          The latter article (and the TMZ article it links from) also speculate that LA’s left-leaning population made finding unbiased jurors unlikely.


          Anyway, just thought that was interesting.

    doesn’t it take one pregnancy to prove this wrong? all you need is a mother of an autistic person who didn’t use Tylenol while pregnant.

      They might just tell her she did use Tylenol while pregnant, she just forgot/took it without knowing.

        what? not at all. your comparison would be appropriate if i said one pregnancy where the mother takes Tylenol but the kid doesn’t have autism

      Not really. A link doesn’t mean a necessary causation. It doesn’t have to be exclusively caused by tylenol. Skin cancer is linked to excessive sun exposure, but it can occur without it, and likewise, not everyone who is experiencing increased UV exposure gets skin cancer. Not every smoker gets lung cancer, not every lung cancer is caused by smoking (IIRC only 50% of lung cancer patients are smokers - it’s just that not 50% of people are smokers). But a certain risk factor increases the occurence of a disease.

      I guess what you are thinking of would be comparable with FASD, a mother who has a child with fetal alcohol syndrome but never drank any alcohol during pregnancy would disprove the causation. My guess would be that this isn’t what they are going for but a vague “it increases the likelihood of the child developing autism”.

          Well, this is the worse scenario. If he goes down the “FASD route” it will be rather easy to debunk. An “increased risk” route will be much vaguer, more believable, and harder to disprove.

          This might also go down the route of “if it wasn’t safe in the womb we should think twice about giving it to my baby who has a high fever” resulting in brain damage and death. (For the record: Fever is good, but high fever in babies is dangerous.)

          This, then, adds up to “I didn’t give my baby tylenol when it had a fever, then it was hospitalized, they gave tylenol after all, now the kid has XYZ, it was the tylenol”.

      With the plethora of other NSAIDs, would opiates be the next recourse anyway?

      I already tend to avoid acetaminophen since the others are better liver wise anyway.

          Because there has been some links observed that it may be related to ASD in infants. Like Ibuprofen.

        Maybe not relevant, but Tylenol (acetominophen) isn’t classified as an NSAID. Whatever, I see no reason to trust RFKj on any matter of health, medicine, or pharmaceuticals. The man is an uneducated crank who achieved his position in trade for asskissing.

        Most countries outside North America avoid NSAIDs because of liver damage. In 2025, I have no idea why NSAIDs are over-the-counter. But in countries that avoid acetominophen, they still have autism.

          Acetaminophen is not an NSAID. They are OTC because they are overwhelmingly safe, in the directed dosages on the label.

      They will effortlessly win this suit. Remember the tainted Tylenol scandal in 1982? This killed Tylenol sales for years. No effect on autism rates.

    Honestly, this is probably one of the better outcomes. Hopefully ibuprofen works well enough for pregnant people. He could have agreed with “vaccines cause autism” thing to fuel his attacks on vaccines. Or worse, he could have noticed that genetics play a big part and started a eugenics program.

    I was once told that Tylenol wouldn’t pass today’s standards of the FDA. I believe it. Pretty sure that it’s the second leading cause of liver failure… Don’t both ibuprofen and naproxen last longer?

      He said a bunch of shit that the country’s most fearful and illiterate people loved to hear, he validated the fringe conspiracy theorists which breeds a kind of obsessive love that you can’t buy with all the campaign money in the world, so Trump tapped him to keep pied-piper’ing the segments of rats who would vote for having a live porcupine stuffed down their pants if it meant validating the ONE topic that scares them the most. In this case, “mainstream science.”

        Yeah, these are the sister-fuckers that BOOED their god-emperor Taco when he bragged about the vaccines (that he had next to nothing to do with - if anything we should be thanking Obama).

        Because Taco is such a goddamned pussy, he backed off supporting the vaccines.

          Nah it’s just he knows it doesn’t matter now. Nobody in the base he’s trying to hold onto looks into the past in any capacity. It’s done and over. It’s a new narrative now.

          Trump and his “people” could start throwing babies in wood chippers on the white-house lawn today, and in 6 months they will say it never happened and their base will purge it from their memories like ballast and never revisit it. We are still underestimating how stupid a good 30% of the country is, and how moderately stupid the rest are.

          The right is celebrating Trump and RFK Jr. right now. I wish we didn’t have so much “satisfaction porn” being circulated on social media highlighting how stupid Trump and RFK are, and showed more how unopposed they are. I swear a good 90% of the left in this country still thinks we’re scoring points and that any day now, it’s going to reach a point where someone is going to “do something.”

      That’s the sad thing.

      The sentiment is good. MAHA pounding Big Processed Food and Big Tobacco and (to an extent) Big Pharma and such is great.

      …If only the specifics weren’t so awful.
