I'm remembering the movie "Lenny." The screenplay has Lenny Bruce (Dustin Hoffman) saying: "What's the worst thing you can say to anybody?"/"Fuck you, mister!''/"That's really weird, because if I wanted to hurt you, l should say, 'Unfuck you, mister' — because 'fuck you' is really nice, man."You can’t make this up.

While RFK Jr. was speaking about overcoming addiction and controlling anger, a protestor screamed “F*** you”—and RFK responded, “Thank you.”

RFK Jr. evokes Lenny Bruce.
Getting some play on X right now is RFK Jr. saying "Thank you very much" in response to someone yelling "Fuck you!"

But fuck is not a verb, in fuck you. It's an epithet.
The left hive cannot get over that anyone would leave the corrupt plantation.
fuck = have sex
Fuck you = have sex with you.
A woman telling a man "fuck you" should be met with "Great. Lets get started".
"Don't you remember what Principal Poop put down at the pep rally yesterday?"
Principal Poop: In addressing for the assembly this morning...
Heckler: FUCK YOU!
Principal Poop: Thank you.
Elvis voice: "Fuck you very much."
"The left hive cannot get over that anyone would leave the corrupt plantation."
Especially a Kennedy. And RFK, Jr. is just the kind of absolute whackjob Democrats would love to have in office if he was on their team and they don't even get how badly Trump is trolling them by having this guy run a meaningless department of the Federal government, where he won't accomplish jack squat.
Trump is a master troll.
Lenny Bruce
Declares a truce
Smiling with the majorette
Smoking Winston cigarettes
And as the song and dance begins
The children play at home
With needles
Needles and pins….

"fuck = have sex
Fuck you = have sex with you."
It doesn't take adverbs: close the door quickly; fuck you quickly
It doesn't take indirect statement: I said to close the door; I said to fuck you
It doesn't require the reflexive: assert you; fuck you
Negation: don't fuck you; don't close the door
Request: please close the door; please fuck you
Sending: go close the door; go fuck you
etc
It's not a verb that takes stuff that verbs take, if it's a verb
If Crook Joe's cabal cared about heath and ridding chemical dyes - the hive would be cheering.
But Crook Joe's cabal consists of Fauci and dutiful bad-jabs for big pharma profits, and Bill Gates/global billionaire leftists power whores desire to control the population - thru - death.
Things I hate: Wondering if somebody said, "Thank you very much," or "Fuck you very much."
Whenever I see a clip of Hoffman as Lenny Bruce my mind brings up Bob Fosse's "All That Jazz", his autobiographic film, where it has bits involving his making of the film "Lenny". I remember liking that 'Lenny' in Jazz better.
I looked it up: the actor in Jazz that played Lenny was Cliff Gorman, who actually played Lenny in the original theatrical production that the Hoffman film was based on.
His Lenny struck as more authentically calloused, and less of Hoffman's romanticized dingy halo...

My pediatrician wife keeps getting bulletins about the measles outbreaks in West Texas, started among the Mennonite anti-vaxxers. Two kids have died. To say she is not happy with HHS Secretary Kennedy is an understatement as big as the Grand Canyon. Stupid people in roles of authority are dangerous.
It was just yesterday that most of my progressive liberal leftist friends were very concerned about autism. Claiming it was caused by environmental factors and that something MUST be done. Today, they are all very angry, very angry indeed with RFKjr for suggesting such a thing. Autism is completely natural and normal and quite beautiful and HOW DARE HE question it. The whiplash hits hard. I'm so fucking tired of it.
"In early March, I deployed a CDC team to bolster local and state capacity for response across multiple Texas regions, supply pharmacies and Texas run clinics with needed MMR vaccines and other medicines and medical supplies, work with local schools and healthcare facilities to support contact investigations, and to reach out to communities, including faith leaders, to answer any questions or respond to locations seeking healthcare. Since that time, the growth rates for new cases and hospitalizations have flattened. The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the MMR vaccine." - RFK Jr.

The media seem to be downplaying the idea that the source of the measles outbreak could be related to the "surge of migrants" at the border, but are using the term "international travel" without being specific about who was traveling or where. If you look at the history of measles outbreaks in recent years, you can see that there have been a number of them long before Kennedy was appointed. I doubt the Mennonites got their vaccine beliefs from Kennedy.
Sure, Bob Boyd, he says that NOW. His previous antivax stance, although at least abandoned if not fully repudiated, did the damage already.
Do you have an example of his previous anti-vax stance? Not saying you're wrong. I just haven't heard or seen that. Not that I've been following him for years or anything.
And the Mennonites. They have their own reasons for being antivax. Kennedy's not responsible for their decisions.
mikee - Are you referring to your wife or RFK?

I worked at Disneyland as a ride operator when I got out of high school. One of the girls I worked with would sometimes respond to a rude guest with a quick "Fuck you very much" and if she got "What did you say?" response, would smile clearly say "Thank you very much."
