Yeah she's been ******* nuts for a while now.
We really need to work on the mental health situation here in America. Maybe that'll help these individuals before they get into politics.

I'm more concerned about the millions of people who were damaged enough to vote for them. There have always been people like her around, but typically they'd be written off as the crazy ranting hobo on the subway.

Are dogs even capable of developing autism? They are pretty distant relatives to us and don't share certain neurological features that we share with other apes.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

I know dogs can suffer from developmental disorders... I don't know if those (if they could be diagnosed in the same vein.) as autism.

I mean: do we actually want people whom are that stupid to own pets anyway?
I don't even want people that stupid to exist. Regardless they continue to do so, and regardless of your desires they will continue to be allowed to own pets also.

Interesting thread here related to VAERS, and how RFK's likely going to be abusing the data for his own purposes:


Also, not sure if this would be a better fit for one of the other threads, but since we're talking about the Vaccine thing:

Jacob Chansley, infamous for wearing a horned warrior outfit while storming the U.S. Capitol on January 6, has claimed that he is the rightful commander-in-chief.
???

In his 26-page complaint, he has claimed that an elite group has launched a conspiracy to violate the Constitution. The entire complaint, which is more akin to a manifesto than a formal legal document, is presented in a single paragraph.
Because of course it is.

Meth is a hell of a drug...

But frankly: I'm all for it. Let his highest profile supporters openly sue him. If nothing else, it'll be funny.

That's more than all the U.S. dollars in circulation on Earth.

This will obviously get dismissed immediately (and doesn't even seem to be published anywhere) but it would be funny if a bored judge decided to let this guy present his evidence.

...can he name three that he thinks "turned out to be true?"

Yes, but just because he thinks they were true doesn't actually make them true.
Granted, but at least the tinfoil-hatters that I run into on the Book of Faces are willing to make falsifiable statements about their pet causes That They Were Right About All Along, Oh You'll See. Then one has to figure out if it's worth the effort to pierce their echo chamber to actually show them the test results, of course...

These days, someone being Wrong on the Internet is basically a day ending in Y, so I've been saving my sanity for my own use.

The question is probably less "can he" and more "would he dare to." Because you're less likely to be destroyed in the court of public opinion if you don't admit to believing any specific conspiracy theories that are doing measurable harm to countless people, but vagueposting about it can still get you an "in" with those who do and can reward you with power and/or influence.
