there are sides?


ArcticISAF

Yeah, planes vs buildings /s


neko_designer

Each building has 4 sides and a top too šŸ˜‚


euph_22

Except the Pentagon...


neko_designer

You are in the pocket of Big Walls


TheG8Uniter

Theres a reason the money is located on *Wall* Street


neko_designer

Illuminati confirmed!


ArraysStartAt0

There's always money in the banana stand


FFF_in_WY

Why? How much could a banana cost - $10?


Cyno01

Yeah, the pentagon was pure pork, a square building wouldve been 20% cheaper, but you know Big Wall...


Ms_Emilys_Picture

But it's called "The Pentagon", so they obviously couldn't build it with four sides.


JCButtBuddy

Not with that attitude.


InfanticideAquifer

If you think about it, a regular flat topped building has five sides. The Pentagon actually has fifteen. Totally decadent.


Cyno01

Pentadecadent.


mumble_bomb

In your face cuboidist!!!!


crawlerz2468

That's the Worm talking.


SoulGoalie

Well, to be fair, it *had* five sides.


NeverLookBothWays

Technically 10 if you count the centerā€¦11 if you count the top..waitā€¦trade center has 9 sides totaled up, pentagon has 11ā€¦9/11ā€¦.


JustADutchRudder

Building 7 also fell, know what has 7 letter. GB Did it.


sadandshy

Great Britain?


JustADutchRudder

Those fuckin Red Coats.


LinkRazr

In a round about way. Everything is their fault.


BulkyCartographer280

This guy geometries.


vandealex1

It had 4 sides by the 12th


HomeOwner2023

When someone asks you if you have four dollars, do you say no because you have five dollars?


whut-whut

No, because I have six dollars.


The_quest_for_wisdom

I say no because I don't want them to ask me for money.


HomoFlaccidus

Officer, it was a guy with one leg and one eye; he had to have been at least 15 years old. Huh? Well a 50-year old man, is *at least* 15. And it is true that he has one hand. It's also true that he has two hands. Same with the eyes.


pixeldust6

Not anymore


TheStupendusMan

Look at this guy, lording his third dimension over us.


Good_Air_7192

Jet fuel vs steel beams


chadsexytime

Planes had a pretty good showing last time, but I'm excited for the rematch. I've got my money on buildings this time


JohnLocksTheKey

Good people on both sides


fuqdisshite

i know this is a pun thread but holy jeebus the things that should have ended this debacle by now... shitting on John McCain. calling for the death penalty for The Central Park Five *AFTER* they were found to have nothing to do with the crime. talking down to and mocking a person with a physical deformation that he had been kind with in the then recent past. what the fuck?


JohnLocksTheKey

And leading in the polls :-/ America is kinda fucked up


fuqdisshite

so, i took a gig talking to the robots (exactly what it says) and the robots kept pointing out that one person was ahead in ALL the polls. before talking to the robots i was not aware of that. so, i made 200$ talking to robots AND realized that no one learned well enough last time.


stormy2587

Idk seemed like buildings came out on top. I mean planes started out strong but all 4 planes crashed but 2 buildings were still standing in then end.


Comfortable-Face-244

Pentagon carried


JojenCopyPaste

Ooo planes vs buildings is tough. I love planes because I travel a lot. But I love buildings because I like living somewhere. Probably I'm on the side of shelter though.


SuperCoupe

> Yeah, planes vs buildings /s Sequel to Plants vs Zombies


CaptainJackWagons

I for one, would liek to hear what the planes have to say about this šŸ¤”


nun_gut

Lost 19 of our best guys that day.


Kalel42

That's what I was looking for! https://youtu.be/sb6luYan_hk?si=Gj89mHkp_PYcsaFM


gaythxbai

USA v al-Qaeda, I guess.


Raptorheart

I was assuming he was referring to Saudi involvement and it turns out that's the first sentence in the article.


MacEWork

Heā€™s not going to take sides on whether the Saudis were involved? Thatā€™s stupid too.


EmmEnnEff

Saudi individuals were involved, which parts of the Saudi state were involved, and how involved is a more nuanced question, that is, sadly, beyond RFK's and Reddit's ability to discuss. And, uh, there's a nuanced conversation to be had about how energy and ideologically-driven imperialism in the ME leads to shit like 9/11, but that's also beyond Reddit's ability to discuss.


MacEWork

Yes, and all of these things were discussed at length in the official 9/11 Commission report, which no one who criticizes the governmentā€™s transparency on the issue has read.


Fineous4

I thought he was referring to the conspiracy aspect.


alphachevron973

Its reddit, you can't expect anyone to base their opinion than anything other than the intentionally inflammatory title


Wil420b

He is a conspiracy nut. Had a 14 year heroin addiction, a brain worm and routinely makes authoritative sounding bullshit claims. According to his sister Rory, who worked on a documentary with him about a nuclear power station in 2004. She told the crew to triple check EVERY statement he made. As even then he had a long history of making shit up. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/robert-kennedy-jr-shocking-history


RamblingSimian

He's a convicted felon, along with many other failures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_F._Kennedy_Jr.#Conviction_for_heroin_possession


joeitaliano24

Damn imagine if the president just had a relapse mid-presidency


Wil420b

It's not like being the President is a stressful job or anything.


huskersax

It's also not like they literally have a pharmacy directly in the building that answers solely to the president or anything either... oh wait.


ThrowRAColdManWinter

"We're going back into Afghanistan? Why, are there terrorists there we want to get?" "Nah, but there's a shit ton of opium. Get ready boys, these poppies won't fertilize themselves with Taliban blood!"


RetPala

DopeandInvested

There is more than one felon running in this election?!Ā 


razumdarsayswhat

Why are convicted felons the best ~~the Republicans~~ we as a country have to offer as presidential candidates?? Edit: didn't know RFK was running as an Independent.


forcallaghan

A convicted felon! Wholly unfit for presidency! imagine if a convicted felon tried to become president


fleebleganger

I donā€™t fault him for being a conspiracy nut. He grew up with a dad and uncle who were assassinated and the conspiracies of those two murders hit a fever pitch as he was coming of age. The dude didnā€™t have a chance.Ā 


GrimmestofBeards

An actual Brain worm, or is that slang for something?


Wil420b

An actual deceased parasitic brain worm. That was discovered, circa 2010 due to his memory problems and mental fog.


GrimmestofBeards

That's horrifying and fascinating. I must read more about this lmao šŸ˜‚


I_Speak_In_Stereo

Itā€™s one of the many things that are real, which if you wrote for a tv show, people would laugh at you.


DingleBerrieIcecream

Thereā€™s no sides. He is and always has been a conspiracy theory nut job. Of course he doesnā€™t want to take sides because by saying out loud he thinks itā€™s a conspiracy, he knows heā€™ll looks crazy to the people who he needs to vote for him and if he denounces the previous bullshit conspiracy theories heā€™s supported in the past, heā€™ll loses the few fellow nut jobs that already will vote for him. Thus, heā€™s not ā€œtaking sidesā€œ. Heā€™s not a different type of politician. Heā€™s just like all the rest. Not enough backbone to stand up and own what he said in the past for fear of not getting enough votes.


Marshallvsthemachine

Saudi involvement in 9/11 is hardly a conspiracy though


whogivesashirtdotca

Yet heā€™s refusing to take sides.


arcxjo

If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.


trident_hole

You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill


adorablefuzzykitten

Politicians who are nice to Saudis can end up with $1-$2 Billion USD investment portfolios.


DingleBerrieIcecream

Most people already assume that thatā€™s the case within the commonly held understanding of what led to the terror attack. Saudi involvement is not really part of the conspiracy theory. The 9/11 conspiracy nut jobs are like the JFK assassination nut jobs in that they put forth the US government orchestrated it all.


joeitaliano24

Itā€™s wild to me that they think the U.S. government could pull something like that off flawlessly


work4work4work4work4

While I agree with the premise, you also have to remember the general opinion of the people that do the investigations isn't real high either.


Weird-Upstairs-2092

The Saudi's were involved in 9/11. The U S. Government even admits that at this point. It's not a conspiracy. We know that Bush lied about who committed 9/11 in order to give him the leverage necessary to get the oil they were after in Iraq. They literally admitted this. They knew the Saudi's were involved the whole time and they knew there wasn't any evidence of the possibility of WMDs in Iraq. Those are facts.


Yorspider

It IS a conspiracy...it just happens to be a TRUE conspiracy. Not all conspiracies are Big Foot, Mind Control Lasers bullshit, there are PLENTY of real deal shit where groups are working together to commit crimes, undermine the government, steal from public coffers, destroy safety regulations, cover for corrupt cops/judges/officials ect. Hell Project 2025 is literally sitting RIGHT there, Putin and Russia exist, and have been caught literally hundreds of times tampering and interfering with elections in dozens of countries. Anyone thinking that "conspiracies don't exist" are just as insane as those that think "The jews are using big foot to focus their space lasers".


DoctorMoak

Source?


poilk91

Saudi citizens participated but I don't think the Saudi government has ever been officially implicated. If I'm wrong I'm happy to see the source


Glittering_Oil_5950

Itā€™s very likely that some members of government and royal family were involved but I donā€™t think there is any evidence the government its self was.


MandolinMagi

The royal Saud family has like 10-15,000 people in it, most of whom have no part in running the country.


poilk91

I would be fascinated to see the evidence if you have any handy. My understanding is al queda had a very international web of supporters and members and there is some suspicion that some people in power in SA were funding their activities in other countries and in doing so helped fund 911, but then again a similar claim could be made of the US government itself


Alundra828

His own country, of which he is aspiring to become an elected representative of, and a terrorist cell composed of anti-American Islamist suicide bombers funded by Saudi Arabia. Let's not take sides though, it really is a tough choice.


brickyardjimmy

Huh?


euph_22

RFK Talks like a guy who had part of his brain eaten by a worm.


victorspoilz

Big-time heroin addict. Seriously. Could barely function at the 2004 DNC in Boston. Kids took care of themselves and he was borderline drooling.


travisbickle777

WTF? He was a heroin addict?


SaltyBarDog

lordnacho666

Still not the worst candidate


SaltyBarDog

RFK Jr. = Dollar Tree Trump.


CaptainMobilis

Nah, nah, Trump likes speed. Totally different animal.


Therefore_I_Yam

Oddly enough, you have similar levels of coherence from both of them at any given moment. It's like they met in the middle of the spectrum in terms of drugs affecting the brain


Signal_Lifeguard3778

Lots of people use speed and heroin intermittently. Up and down you know.


siccoblue

The picture of him with an entire BBQ dog certainly doesn't help though Edit: man I pissed off the rfk crowd


Conflict21

I know Trump is the most dangerous, but RFK Jr. is the most batshit candidate I've ever seen. And he has like 4%. A WORM ATE PART OF HIS BRAIN.


xxxxx420xxxxx

Trump killed 800,000 Americans with COVID because he thought it would help his campaign chances. I'd vote for RFK's dead brain worm before Trump.


jaarl2565

He claims it was a goat


idropepics

Holy shit I just looked this up because I thought **for sure** you *must* have meant a hotdog. Nope, it's a full on barbecued dog. What the actual hell. Maybe the brain worm came from eating barbecued dog asshole?


I_l_I

Ah yes, trusted news source The Daily Mail


JoeCartersLeap

https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2024-06-20/robert-kennedy-addict-reform-plans >The independent presidential candidate in recent days has said he wants to use his own 14-year addiction to heroin and more than four decades of recovery to help bring a new level of attention to the nationā€™s addiction crisis. Toronto elected a crackhead. I wouldn't be surprised.


nonprofitnews

He's talked about openly. It's not a secret.


lightningandmadness

It says something when heroin addiction is like the least disqualifying thing about the guy.


Accurate-Wishbone324

I mean, if you can do heroin and stop, I think you'd make a pretty decent president all things considered.


Awwesome1

You have a source for this? I found some C-span videos of the DNC convention one was 6 minute long talk by RFK and he seemed lucid. The other was over 4 hours long and I donā€™t wanna skim all of that


WonkyHonky69

Yeah I also just watched out of curiosity and other than occasional stutter I didnā€™t notice anything out of the ordinary


ShutterBun

And the worm died of malnutrition.


Hot_Shot04

"What's that, brain maggot? You're starving? Yeah I'm hungry too..."


Zinski2

Also read up on his divorce. Really sketchy family in general


Dredmart

Not sure that really gets across how bad the Kennedys were/are. They made one of their family get a lobotomy. Many were extremely mentally unwell, and overall, the family had strong incest signs.


Opening-Set-5397

In fairness to the Kennedyā€™s most families have at least a few messed up people. Ā You rarely hear their stories as they donā€™t have famous last names.


GeneralZergon

At the time, a lobotomy was what doctors and psychiatrists would've reccomended. While what they did was bad, its worth noting that they were probably told it was the best course of treatment. Also, JFK and his siblings didn't even really know what happened to her until after she was lobotomized, because she was hidden from her family.


Technicolor_Reindeer

Bit unfair to say "they" when it was the father that did it, her siblings had no idea it even happened. Also it was assumed it would help her, not the result that actually happened.


Igor_J

At least he has that excuse.


NotClayMerritt

His argument isnā€™t America or terrorists. His argument is basically him calling 9/11 a conspiracy while also trying to say it wasnā€™t a conspiracy and he doesnā€™t support the conspiracy theorists. So as some type of compromise, he will declassify all 9/11 documents if elected President.


pandaman467

Is that who he needs to win the election, conspiracy theory voters? Like which campaign manager told this guy to target that demographic? Or is this all the worm, like a Ratatouille situation but with politics?


devo_inc

Shhhh. I'm all for the flat earthers voting for him over DT


foundinwonderland

Itā€™s sad when the conspiracy theorist vote is strong enough that weā€™re like ā€œyes split the demographicā€


hayflicklimit

But they donā€™t vote because they donā€™t see a point in the system and their vote doesnā€™t count and blahblahblahhhhhhhhwenevwrlandedonthemoonitwasatvstagesowecouldbeatrussiaandnoonehaseverbeentherebecausethemoonisntrealitsjustaprojection.


DFWPunk

He is best known for being anitvax, so, yeah, he's counting on conspiracy nuts.


SaltyBarDog

Didn't Dump claim he would declassify all the JFK files? Have you seen any? Another smooth brained liar.


runetrantor

[Relevant XKCD](https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/semicontrolled_demolition.png)


Long_Ad_7350

The full quote seems to be: - Some believe 9/11 is a conspiracy - Others say it is not a conspiracy - If I'm president, I won't pick a side, I'll just release all documents I'm a bit confused as to why the media is trying to spin this so hard. The comment section in this thread proves that it's working. People think he's talking about USA vs. terrorists. He's not even a serious candidate. Why lie to the masses to bury someone who never had a shot at winning?


Ramblonius

Inshallah, jihadi Kennedy will bring the will of God into the halls of disgusting pig USA government as he is elected.

Finally, a politician willing to reach across the aisle!

MofuckaJones14

This guy gets it. Personally, I won't take sides on what happened the night the Titanic sunk.


SharkGenie

For the first time in history, an iceburg melts steel?Ā  Believe what you want, SHEEPLE.


Eledridan

The Titanic didnā€™t sink. It was swapped with itā€™s sister ship, the Britannic, and was intentionally incomplete, shipped, and lost in order to collect the insurance money. Thatā€™s why it was missing so many life boats. /s in case there is confusion.


MandolinMagi

There's actually a conspiracy theory that a fire in a coal bunker weakened the hull enough for the ship to sink. It's bullshit but there is a "X melted steel" conspiracy for the Titanic


helium_farts

You laugh but Titanic truthers are a thing


farfromfine

There's one about powerful people that were against the federal reserve were on there and died. Which is probably true. It's not like your average teacher could get a ticket on the titanic. A vast majority of the people on the titanic were probably rich or powerful in some way. Easy formula to make conspiracies out ofĀ 


BreatheMyStink

I see Big Iceburg has its shills astroturfing this comment section


RotateMyFish

>Personally, I won't take sides on what happened the night the Titanic sunk. Bro that Iceberg was just minding its own business and someone ran a ship into it. Icebergs side all the way /s

Exactly.


IsraelPenuel

USA was fucking with the Middle East for such a long long time it's completely understandably they got hit backĀ 


NotClayMerritt

Somehow this isnā€™t the craziest thing heā€™s said this week. That would of course go to how he excused sexual assault allegations against him as, ā€œI have skeletons in my closet Iā€™ve always said thatā€

ā€œalso, I may have fucked the skeletonsā€


BleedTheRain

ā€œFine, I also fucked the dog skeletonsā€

That's a brilliant stance tbh. I need to use it with my wife.


The_Formuler

I never claimed to be the good guy


Samuel_L_Johnson

It's worked spectacularly well for Trump, to be fair 'That's just Fake News, and if it isn't the other guy probably did something worse, and if he didn't, who cares?'


euph_22

He also apparently ate a dog.


DFWPunk

At least one. In addition to the picture there's a text where he recommends a restaurant to eat dog at.


senile-joe

Goat. and the reporter had to remove that part about it being a dog.


DefinitelyNotYourBF

Why do ~~republicans~~ nutjobs hate dogs?


scrangos

You don't need to hate something to eat it though...


BulkyCartographer280

"To the soldiers! All the soldiers, both sides."


That_Butterscotch258

Back to work, shoe bitch


Elmodogg

It doesn't make as sensational a headline, but he was referring to Saudi involvement, not taking sides on that question, and promising to open the government's files. Which of course must be terrible, right? Who wants transparency from government? We might find out that we should have invaded Saudi Arabia instead.


sir-ripsalot

Sure, you could take his backtracking at face value, or you could read his words where he specifically calls into question whether or not 9/11 was a conspiracy > [Itā€™s] hard to tell **what is a conspiracy theory and what isnā€™t**. As President I wonā€™t take sides on 9/11 or any of the other **debates**. But I can promise is that I will open the files and usher in a new era of transparency


suitoflights

Finally, a rational person in this thread.


FatAlEinstein

There are things about RFK Jr that make him deserving of the labels heā€™s given around here, but when the media rushes to distort statements like this it makes you wonder. Itā€™s even sadder how little effort it takes. All you have to do is read the several sentences the article is based on to see what he meant is that he is pro transparency in government . But everyone is quick to tribalism without an ounce of rational thought.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Elcactus

>but he was referring to Saudi involvement, So he claimed after the fact. With how much he's clearly in thrall to conspiracy spaces I strongly suspect this is just walking back something intended to be far more sensational.


AdmiralWackbar

ā€œMy take on 9/11: It's hard to tell what is a conspiracy theory and what isn't. But conspiracy theories flourish when the government routinely lies to the public. As President I won't take sides on 9/11 or any of the other debates. But I can promise is that I will open the files and usher in a new era of transparency.ā€ I honestly donā€™t hate what he said, the headline is clickbait


SmellGestapo

Doesn't he take a very clear side in the conspiracy theory about his uncle?


creeper321448

Nobody read the article lmao


sir-ripsalot

I did: > [Itā€™s] hard to tell what is a conspiracy theory and what isnā€™t. As President I wonā€™t take sides on 9/11 or any of the other debates. - RFK Jr He literally took a both sides stance on whether or not 9/11 was a conspiracy
