When you said Slimey the Worm up front, I had no idea that you were talking about The Slimey the Worm! You know who I thought it was gonna be: any one of the Usual Suspects, from Trump, to VD Vance the Couch Banger, and all the way through the cabinet and Congress to Russell Bought and Stephen Mitler.

TBH Slimey, I don't think it is a worm. I'm not proposing a conspiracy theory here, I'm just thinking the man's done a lot of damage to himself and rather than take responsibility for that, was looking something or someone to blame. There never was a brainworm, just his own actions. Its guilt by association with something that never existed.

Doctors said it was likely a pork tapeworm larva he ate, which have been known to cause seizures, headaches, and dizziness when the tapeworm starts to die in a human brain. But you're correct, the worm was not to blame for RFK, Jr.'s brain fog, short & long term memory loss and permanent cognitive loss/neurological impairment. RFK, Jr. was addicted to tuna fish sandwiches for years (for real!) & was diagnosed with mercury poisoning measured at 10x the maximum safe level in his blood. Since mercury concentrates over time in bones and organs (including brains), his concentration of mercury in his brain would be even higher. Slimey the Worm is officially off the hook.

Thanks for that. So the mysterious "brainworm" was something relatively common (and likely to become more common without good health and safety information and procedures - the very things he believes are unnecessary). And it is about belief, rather than any physical affliction, regardless of the cause.

Right on, Slimey. You've picked a great partner in Closer to the Edge.

Humour is one of the best ways of confronting this crisis and getting through to people who have been caught in the headlights.

Hegseth is said to summon top U.S. military leaders from around the globe to Virginia.

NY Times & Washington Post

Our Military is all that stands in the way of trump proclaiming himself Dictator!

I remember Slimey the Worm!! 😍 Also...LOL to this especially:

"So let me be clear: the Worm Council condemns the actions of RFK Jr.’s parasite. It does not represent us. It does not speak for us. It is the Marjorie Taylor Greene of worms — loud, embarrassing, and a disgrace to the species." 😅😂🤣

Dear Slimey,

You neglected to mention intestinal worms and other parasitic worms.

I'm all for good information but there seems to be A LOT of info and natural remedies online about parasitic worms these days! Maybe that's where so much of the negativity towards you began. Some people just dont read or listen to understand.
