    Reminds me of the queer homophobic POS Roy Cohn. Gets AIDS and gets access to meds that ACTUP has been fighting for. And former lawyer to another NYC POS Trump

    Good grief, I forgot about this guy and how he so jumped the shark like 20 years ago, when he first came out as a creationist, FFS.

    It only got worse from there, because of fucking course. If someone puts themselves out there as some kind of super edgy edgelord about one aspect of science, chances are they are just full of shit and awful in so many other ways, and for Adams, that was definitely true.

    he revealed that he was inundated by offers of help from Donald Trump Jr., Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Mehmet Oz

    They will certainly offer Adams some herbal tea to get rid of his cancer.

    All this does is highlight how what really matters is wealth.

    Lots of trump voters are dying from lack of healthcare access, and they’ve been making these same pleas and not getting any response.

    They’re slowly realizing trump ain’t on their side.

    Setting them up to flip to a progressive like how 08 Obama managed to flip a shit ton of red states when everyone thought he was progressive

      No. Scott Adams is rich and could not get the treatment himself. What matters is connections and fame. You could be worth whatever you are worth now, but if you were famous and on the MAGA side, your tweet would have also gotten you the treatment. Trump is an “either your in the club, or get fucked” type of organization.

        Well, if you interact with more trumpets than I do on a day to day basis, I feel sorry for you…

        But from what I experience he’s losing support and the pace has been picking up.

          I don’t know if it’s more trumpets but the ones that do exist in my life are very much on the lowest end. Does that make them tubas? Womp womp.

          A friend of ours says you can hear the bumper stickers getting ripped off their vehicles in Florida. He can exaggerate, so I don’t know how true that is.

      Worse, if you are a trump supporter, with a large platform, or a lot of money. Trump sure as hell ain’t pulling strings for the people that attend his rallys. Hell didn’t biden call the family of the firefighter that took the bullet meant for trump, before trump did, and didn’t trump basically spend 10 seconds talking about the guy and made a really tasteless joke during his comment on him.

      If you’re a specific kind of Trump supporter. You think he would do the same for some poor schmuck from rural Alabama?

        Schmucks from Alabama have nothing to offer Trump. Scott Adams offers Trump free publicity. Trump never does anything if it doesn’t benefit him.
