What do we think Jack’s body count is? He’s absolutely a whore like his grandpa. It’s genetics. If RFK Jr can pull women at his ancient ass age with that voice then I know Jack has it easy.

jack has girls cheering for him like seals at feeding time lets keep it a buck! not too much on his hussy grandpappy JFK, he was a classy man-whore!!

on rfk jr that voice must be GRATING in the boudoir, just saying!

i'd say its not so much genetic's more that it's passed down charm that makes everyone's pants drop continually around these men....

[melancholicstation]

Honestly can’t get over how Olivia Nuzzi was/is still following Jack and liked a post of his after the whatever affair ended with RFK jr.

Like girl……

fumbling a new york magazine writer position for rfk jr who is a downgraded less hot version of his father is so unserious.

like Girl get tf up

lmao at anybody thinking jfk would choose rfk jr over his grandbaby.....like lets be serious for a min here. a child of caroline?????? the youngest one at that????

it's a crazy thought for a bunch of crazies...

the jack to bobby pipeline is real and it’s called becoming a woman

"And he was too young." oh i'm going to throw up everywhere

The reporter met Bobby Kennedy just once. It was on an afternoon in May in New York just after his victory in the Indiana primary and it had not been a famous meeting, even if it began well. The Senator came in from a conference and said quickly with a grin, "Mr. Mailer, you're a mean man with a word." He had answered, "On the contrary, Senator, I like to think of myself as a gracious writer." "Oh," said Senator Kennedy; with a wave of his hand, "That too, that too!" So it had begun well enough, and the reporter had been taken with Kennedy's appearance.

He was slimmer even than one would have thought, not strong, not weak, somewhere between a blade of grass and a blade of steel, fine, finely drawn, finely honed, a fine flush of color in his cheeks, two very white front teeth, prominent as the two upper teeth of a rabbit, so his mouth had no hint of the cruelty or calculation of a politician who weighs counties, cities, and states, but was rather a mouth ready to nip at anything which attracted its contempt or endangered its ideas.

Then there were his eyes. They were most unusual. His brother Teddy Kennedy spoke of those who "followed him, honored him, lived in his mild and magnificent eye," and that was fair description for he had very large blue eyes, the iris wide in diameter, near to twice the width of the average eye, and the blue was a milky blue like a "marble so that his eyes, while prominent, did not show the separate steps and slopes of light some bright eyes show, but rather were gentle, indeed beautiful — one was tempted to speak of velvety eyes — their surface seemed made of velvet as if one could touch them, and the surface would not be repelled.

He was as attractive as a movie star. Not attractive like his brother had been, for Jack Kennedy had looked like the sort of vital leading man who would steal the girl from Ronald Reagan every time, no, Bobby Kennedy had looked more like a phenomenon of a movie star — he could have filled some magical empty space between Mickey Rooney and James Dean, they would have cast him sooner or later in some remake of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and everyone would have said, "Impossible casting! He's too young." And he was too young. Too young for Senator, too young for President, it felt strange in his presence thinking of him as President, as if the country would be giddy, like the whirl of one's stomach in the drop of an elevator or jokes about an adolescent falling in love, it was incredible to think of him as President, and yet marvelous, as if only a marvelous country would finally dare to have him.

— Norman Mailer, on meeting Bobby Kennedy while covering the 1968 primary elections

thank GOD rfk jr didn't wish bobby a happy birthday i hate having to be reminded that he is indeed his son and i hate that rfk jr's antics are associated with bobby, so this is a win in my books

[melancholicstation]

Crazy insane development, I’m STILL single(I make absolutely no effort to put myself out there and date) NEED a man(he should genuinely just appear in my living room)

i feel you hard, i really do need a bobby kennedy archetype of a man in my bedroom by 6pm

bimbo househusband jack & reader btw. if u even care.

Realistically would you want to join the Kennedy family?

in a fantasy world: why yes, of course.

BUT

in the real world: i'd not join the family if I didn't have an ally that wasn't my partner who happened to be a kennedy. like it or not the kennedy's are hard to please, even now and boy were they hard to please back in their hay-day, so I think an ally would be crucial in an effort to not be completely bull-dozed by the family into doing whatever they told me to do, and to have someone advocating for you. they are fiercely loyal once they see you as one of them but they can come as cold and clique-y to outsiders... there's a reason why carolyn didn't want to go to the cape to see the family

but at the end of the day i parasocially love this family so what the fuck, might as well give it a go?

also this would depend on what version of kennedy family we are talking about?

[melancholicstation]

ill never get over Jack always wearing jfk's ties 🥺🥺 how dare he do this to me 🥺

very, very oh so cute. i too would wear old passed-down kennedy clothes if i was in that family... personally i'd be raiding carolyn bessette and jackie kennedy's closets like its black friday!

[melancholicstation]

i know the kennedy men are notoriously unfaithful, but you never hear anything about bobby. is it naive to think that he was the sole kennedy that knew to keep his hands to himself or are there whisperings of affairs?

there is some whisperings about affairs with marilyn since she referred to her lover at the White House in letters to her friends as the "general"... y'know like the attorney general... like bobby

despite me thinking bobby's a baby deer who can do no wrong ... i do think he engaged in some emotional affairs at the absolute least... now i won't go into who with because i heard it's unpopular... but... y'know it's out there.

to put it simply bobby definitely wasn't the womaniser of the kennedy men, not by a long shot. normally he was doing clean up and damage control speaking to the women scorned by his brothers... so that took up a lot of his time

no, i do not thinks its naive to think that he knew how to keep to himself, i think its supremely human to want a person you look up to do the moral right thing always. at the end of the day ethel was his life-partner and i do think he was genuinely obsessed with her... i mean look at the number of children.

i would pose that if he did have affairs he did not see them as "immoral" or "sinful" because of how affairs were modelled in his childhood. joe sr literally housed one of his mistresses in the kennedy's childhood home for weeks until rose couldn't stand it anymore. THEY ATE DINNER TOGETHER... it doesn't excuse it but it might provide context.

bobby's religion is also a contradictory element to this, to me he's a person that carries a lot of guilt. would he be able to carry that guilt and not stand it? maybe. i'm not so sure.
