It’s heartwarming to see him so desperate as the leopards circled, waiting to feast on the carrion. A skinny, dilapidated, diseased old corpse.
He did get help from Trump. Trump got the Insurance company to approve some experimental treatment that they were giving him the runaround for. Ultimately, he still died, but Trump did help him.
Which points at the bigger glaring issue that insurance companies will deny you healthcare unless, you are mildly famous and on good terms with the President of the United State
Got a source, please?
That's just how the pedophile in chief wants it. He wants everyone begging him for scraps.
He begged and pleaded for help and the party of empathy smiled at him to his grave.
People suck.
I thought health care was "woke"?
I didn't know they had X in hell, but that makes sense.
Trump caring about you is pay-to-play. And had he gotten serious about treating his cancer (not ivermectin), this might not have been necessary.
What a bunch of delusional idiots.
He's not a good guy, and I have issues believing his version of the story.
But if this is true we should be concerned. No one should die because of ineffective medical treatment and this is showing the further decline of our medical system.
Although if someone is to die from inadequate medical care, I won't complain that it was him. I suppose that's the point of the community after all
we should be concerned
My brother in Christ, this concern started many, many years ago. What do you think was happening before "Obamacare"??
You're right, maybe I should have said outraged or afraid.
I guess it just feels like our system is reaching that toppling point
outraged or afraid
My brother in Christ.......
For fucks sake you give me the adjective you want then
I don't like the way things are. They have me worried our system is on the edge of collapse. Honestly the collapse has already started. Do you prefer pissed and terrified?
Does this work better: 🙃🙃🫠🫠🫠😡😡😡😡
It's not about adjectives. It's about timing. Everything you say we "must be X or Y about"? People have been feeling that way since before Obama, because before Obama's administration, the healthcare system (or insurance companies, I dunno) were royally fucking over tons of Americans regardless of political affiliation.
My, precious, sweet brother in christmas. The moment for realising the healthcare system of the states is the most hellish on the planet was twenty years ago. Your contrymen does not want health to be sure they have clearly stated many times that the lobby industry is more important.
That was exactly my point and I'm glad you explained it to him.
We're waaaay past the point of realization and adjectives.
I thought the amazing US healthcare system didn't have waiting lists for cancer treatment if you had money, are you telling me that you can be a multimillionaire and still not get decent treatment?
I mean, the ultra-rich tend to be entirely insulated from facts and surrounded by sycophants, which often means that they get caught flat-footed by stuff like cancer. Look no further than Steve Jobs who died from a treatable form of cancer through sheer obtuseness
Didn’t he try an all fruit diet as a solution?
iirc he was a "fruitarian" for a long time before the cancer, but I think he did believe it would heal him. Or something, I don't remember. Also he thought he didn't stink if he didn't shower. And all the sycophants around him enabled his stank.
He tried it in college. Gave up. Started again after diagnosis. Refused chemo and radiotherapy which could've helped as he went into remission several times, but probably needed the rejected therapies to stick.
He would have been right at home at a MtG tourney
He is missing the step where you pay millions of dollars to attend a formal dinner with Trump, or buy millions worth of his shitcoin. Not that the insurer would listen to Trump, but that is how you get favors from him, he does it out in the open.
Narrator: He was not on it.
TACO
Deadbert.
He's dead? He was a fascist until the end.
He didn't start out that way. He fell into it in recent years.
His case really puzzled me. Like I can understand how people raised in a racist family could grow up to be racists. I don’t understand at all how people can do that at a later age. I think he alienated most of his family with his tirades too.
People do other sorts of radical shifts later in life too of course. I think sometimes there are late-onset mental illnesses involved. I think the internet can be a very dangerous place for some types of people.
I've thought about this a lot over the years. I come from a conservative religious family, but I grew up to be pretty far left. I think part of it is lead poisoning, which has been sadly downplayed consistently for decades, but we now know has serious and long lasting negative effects on critical thinking, impulse control, and empathy, that the effects are cumulative, and that they can worsen later in life as cognitive abilities decline with age. We're partly seeing the long term fallout of leaded gasoline in older adults. Another piece is wealth disparity, which results in the most harm to people who have the least, but also seems to have negative psychological effects on the wealthy. It may be that obscene wealth selects for people with low empathy and compassion because it required the exploitation of others, but it also seems as though becoming that wealthy causes a decline in empathy and compassion to some extent. The lack of empathy has been strongly associated with conservatism, and as you mentioned internet echo chambers tend to amplify conservative beliefs in people, pretty much by design. So the conclusion I come to is that older adults NOW tend to be more conservative and hateful because 1) past lead exposure causing cognitive impairments including reducing empathy, 2) age and decades of holding political power have allowed older people to hoard disproportionate wealth, further damaging their empathy for people they see as lesser for being poor, 3) the rise of algorithmic social media creating echo chambers that polarize and amplify political beliefs, and 4) social media companies being owned and run by older, ultra wealthy conservatives who use their platforms to promote their own conservative political beliefs. Ultimately all of these problems stem fundamentally from capitalism. Capitalists downplayed the dangers of lead so we put it in paint and gas. Capitalists wanted more and more so they lobbied and bribed and manipulated our society to make it easier. Capitalists wanted to hold on to their wealth so they enacted decades long propaganda campaigns through tv, print, and finally the internet and social media, to push capitalist ideals and trick normal people into supporting them against their own self interest. So why did this fascist cunt become a fascist cunt? Because rich people wanted to be richer.
I’ve seen rich people grow fearful as their physical abilities fade. From as little as not trusting walking on ice to not trusting walking after dark to unsteady driving to staying inside a locked door more. Perhaps that makes them more susceptible to the scare talk, the scapegoating, blaming “others”
It was at least a decade, but he had been escalating over that time
Recent? Nope.
Rest in piss.
Did he not get the treatment he asked for?
He got the treatment he deserved.
Yep.
"Some are more equal than others."
Quite the useful disposable fool he was.
He dead
