The article picture made me think of this meme, in case anyone is bored and has Photoshop skills.

'Roids Fitzgerald Kennedy is genuinely a better name than his real one, though 🤷

What is it about weirdo conservatives that makes them so red? I distinctly remember Alex Jones doing a bit with his shirt off, and that motherfucker was also beet red.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Hypertension, alcoholism, tanning booths, hypertension and alcoholism. Hard drugs maybe.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 47 minutes ago

Not to take away from your point, but I think you forgot to include alcoholism and hypertension

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Lots and lots of TRT. It increases red blood cell production and can cause flushing especially if you're already predisposed to something like hypertension.

Basically, if you see a dude past 45 put on more muscle than they had before they had in their 30s they are getting a lot of trt.

Phenomenal, thank God for the British.

Ah, the Great Wall of Gammon. Possibly the worst thing BBC Question Time has produced.

How do we know? It's not like these guys are known for never being hypocrits.

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 hours ago

I thought certain types of steroids make you red like this along with giving you a swollen belly which goes along with all the anger and irrational behavior exhibited by these fools.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 hours ago

The red hat dye is running. It's what happens when you buy the merchandise from wish.

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 3 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

High dose TRT and melanotan probably.

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 1 points 27 minutes ago

Tren is known to make a person red as well.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 28 minutes ago

Really, that just makes me sleepy.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 3 points 4 hours ago

It's evolution. 20 years ago conservatives were mostly old white guys with pink skin. In another 20 years, they should be a rich, deep crimson.

[–] determinist@kbin.earth 45 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

They're just so fucking weird

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

RFK's new Dicks Out in the YMCA will provide all the measles screening you need, don't make it weird.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

When you get your measles vaccines, the nurse says you'll "feel a little prick".

THAT'S NOT WHAT SHE MEANT!!!

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 22 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

This on the MR report right now..

RFK jr, shirtless, wearing jeans and riding an elliptical the in the sauna while a twinky kid rock struggles to do one pushup..

I've seen several porns with more believable plots.

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 27 points 6 hours ago

Brokeback MAGA! So creepy.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Who works out in jeans? honestly, wtf?

[–] SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)
[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I'm afraid to ask what the implications for Kid Rock are...

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 20 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

I hate to say it, but this is Gay.

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 23 points 5 hours ago

It's not gay unless the brain worms touch.

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 5 points 4 hours ago (4 children)

I mean, RFK is doing pretty good for a dude in his 70s.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 1 points 52 minutes ago

He is weirdly jacked. As a man who’s been inside a locker room, some guys just are. Most look more like a wet rat, like Mr. Rock there.

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Physical fitness and physical activity correlate very well with health and with positive outcomes if you do get sick, or contract something preventable like a parasitic infection... but it doesn't guarantee it.

I like Dan John's take on fitness and health. Fitness is one's ability to do a task. Health is the optimal interplay of organs and the absence of disease.

The man could be riddled with undiagnosed cancer, more parasites, and infections from his dumbass lifestyle and blatant disregard for both food safety and disease prevention. He's got access to medical care most of us don't and could be on god knows what substances now to enable him to run around shirtless like a dipshit teenager.

Doesn't matter how many pullups the old saddlebag can do. He's not someone we should emulate or should be lecturing us on health.

From the neck down.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

ozzy did lots of drugs and look how long he went. drugs are good for you.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

Same with John Cooper Clarke and Iggy Pop

[–] CodingCarpenter@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Would you rather see them nude?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 1 points 4 hours ago

In the same sick way I kinda want to see a race car crash, yeah.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 2 points 3 hours ago

What the hell did I just watch? Are my tax dollars going to this? JFC.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Ooo, that methhead physique is super sexy.

[–] notsosure@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago

Jesus H. Christ, hot damn.

[–] yaroto98@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

How much of which drugs were they on when they did this?
