Why would RFK and his grandchildren submerge themselves in Rock Creek which contains high bacteria levels, including E. coli?

"Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared photos of himself submerged in Washington, D.C.'s Rock Creek with his grandchildren, despite longstanding warnings that high bacterial levels make the Potomac River tributary unsafe.

"Rock Creek has high levels of bacteria and other infectious pathogens that make swimming, wading, and other contact with the water a hazard to human (and pet) health," the federal agency warns on a webpage for the park.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Rock Creek has been found to have "fecal contamination" from sewage and high levels of bacteria, including E. coli."

    What a dope! I won't even swim in a public pool.


    At least Sean Duffy is smarter than that. After reassuring thr public that is was safe to fly into the Newark Airport, we can hear him on a leaked phone call saying he changed his wife's flight from Newark to LaGuardia.

    I don't think RFK Jr. has gotten rid of that brain worm.

    I just found out that what he did is illegal. Yet there are no consequences for posting a picture of an illegal act online.

    And there never will be any consequences.  I'm not surprised, are you?

    Maybe because JFKs brain worm died and he wants a more lively one. Good way to get a brain worm is to bath in filth and bacteria. Cheers!
