Not bored with snakes yet? I caught this Timber rattler during a Colorado River trip with my Dad in 1967. My cousin Maria Shriver is to my left. pic.twitter.com/ULMzv2hFJNβ Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@RobertKennedyJr) May 31, 2026
The girl is Maria Shriver. I don't know who the nose picker in the back is!......... π

Handling snakes and handling Congress. Seems RFK Jr was trained at a young age for his current position.
Well, he was/is a Democrat after all.
I guess, even as a child, Bobby Jr. knew his snakes.
Timber Rattlers are one of the less aggressive species of Rattler Snakes, preferring to remain motionless to avoid detection or flee from a threat rather than attack right away.
The Western Diamondback are highly nervous, quick to rattle, and will stand their ground aggressively rather than retreat if cornered.
Unfortunately, Maria probably refuses to even utter her cousin’s name these days, since he (Bobby Jr.) has crossed Party Lines by enthusiastically working for republican President Donald Trump
Excellent.
Heβs just one step away.
Speak in tongues and he could be an Evangeli-Tard.π
It was too bad about handjob.
Handling snakes gives him excellent training for handling democratic congresscritters
It’s amazing you people in this site would probably never dare do this. What are you done. Could you bad mouth see jokes but something is real it’s amazing. It’s amazing that people on this site.
I am not afraid of snakes and have picked up a few. Raised in The South, it’s what boys do............
English M.F!
Do speak it?π€ͺ
The bigger the better....
Moonraker.
Same here. Snakes are awesome and necessary in Florida. I remember catching a black snake at 10 years old and had it in a box with a screen on top in my bedroom. It bit me when i causght it and I couldn’t believe my parents let me bring it in the house. Of course it escaped the first night I had it and we never saw it again. I have lot of other snake stories.
” I don’t know who the nose picker in the back is!”
I’d go with cousin Patrick Joseph (Patches) Kennedy II, the future Congressman, drug addict, and alcoholic.
My comment was that snake wrangling skills seemed like good background for managing DC bureaucrats.
