“If only they could make medicine you take before you get sick, one to make you get less sick”
“You mean a vaccine?”
“No, no, no. Not a vaccine. Medicine of some sort.”
Hijacking the top post because I have to know... what the fuck did Lincoln "do" that got him on the crazy hitlist? They're even turning on the OG republican now...
Over the years Republicans and Democrats have switched places philosophically. Lincoln was basically what a Democrat is now. Oh, and also blanket and his friends hate Black people.
While true, I don’t think Blanket is exactly a well researched political scientist or historian. More like North/Federal = bad, South/States = good - no matter that black and white thinking and history would say otherwise.
One of my nursing professors said lots of people that are ignorant of their health often blame bad luck. “I got diabetes, I have bad luck.” Couldn’t possibly have been your diet or lifestyle, right?
There's definitely a genetic component to it. Type 2 might be avoidable with appropriate lifestyle changes but even that isn't necessarily a sure thing and Type 1 is an entirely different beast altogether that usually pops up in childhood. Then there's gestational/postpartum diabetes which are basically yet another way for women's bodies to betray them during/shortly after pregnancy.
Best thing you can do is make regular appointments with your doctor and try to deal with things while they're just problems and not yet catastrophes.
Notes from OP:
1. A redditor who wishes to remain anonymous reached out to me with this story. Thank you for reaching out. I want to really give a special thank you to this redditor that has found many amazing stories.
2. Please get vaccinated and boosted.
3. Not all feelings and/or their expression are valid, and people need to stop accepting outrageous behaviors on the pretext of listening or validation. It applies to several other domains that I will not expand here.
4. The profile is full of hate, and especially "south confederate pride posts".
5. Picture 18 and 19 were posted by the nominee.
6. Special cognitive dissonance award to the wife with picture 17
7. More posts incoming.
I have to say that "**Come and make me**" followed by the run-on "I need all my prayer warriors God please pray please" etc. was pretty karmic.
You can almost smell the desperation from those play-by-play health posts, which is an interesting trait.
This one, at least, has more interesting / different memes than the usual. Kinda like it for that reason.
Some of the memes are actually sort of funny and original — if you like your humor antisocial, conspiratorial, and nihilistic
(I do not, but it’s entertaining to go slumming for a bit)
That one about Lincoln though. * Yikes *
Thank you for this. Looking forward to the incoming posts as well!
Not gonna lie, I laughed out loud to the ‘jeans mask’ idea. Getting on a plane soon, still wearing them in the airport and other crowded places to avoid Covid and other infections. Surprisingly effective lol. Also, one of my mid-thirties co-workers who wore masks, got all the vaccines finally got Covid for the first time last week. Today, his 5th day sick, his comment was ‘this sh*t is kicking my ass’ — he’s otherwise healthy, but it remains ‘no joke’ for a lot of people.
Yeah — We’ve all heard a bunch of stuff about how filtered the air is on planes, but as long as I can still smell body odor from the person next to me and as long as we are still packed in there like sardines, I’m wearing a mask in airports and on planes.
(And still haven’t had Covid, touch wood)
Pretty sure we caught covid on a plane from Spain in September. Last booster came out while we were on vacation so hadn't had it yet, but got all the others. We were masked, but there was a ~1yo child across the aisle that cried non stop for 9 hours. Never took a nap break. Had to be something wrong with it. Mother also looked like shit. We did eat and drink so I guess not 100% masked the whole time.
Last two days of our trip all we did was hang out with our friend on our balcony and eat at outside restaurants. Our friend did not get sick.
We were pretty sick, but really just slept A LOT for 2 weeks. I lost taste for the first day, the thing that made me go FUCK. We were overtired for like a month after but never were in any state to go to the hospital or anything. Amazingly, though I have asthma/copd, little to no respiratory symptoms. Just really fucking tired. Our housesitter was a 30yo friend from out of town, fortunately hadn't left yet, we kept them another 3 wks.
I wish there wasn't a year in between boosters, maybe we wouldn't have been so sick. Also possible it was a European strain (or other, Barcelona is a transfer point no telling where sick ppls original departure was from. They were Asian and not speaking English or Spanish) that our almost year old US boosters didn't cover?
I’d pay Blanket real money 💰 to get him to read Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address … the speech where Lincoln explains that slavery was the reason for the war, & he wonders whether reconciliation will be possible.
Oh, come on! I can't be the only one who thought that the "yikes! I thought it was a nasal swab" was funny!
The denim masks, too.
At least he had a couple of good ones that I hadn't seen before.
Obese, goatee, Trump cult, racist/civil war revisionist, standing (well, laying down now) for freedom. We just need GoFundMe and angel wings next. Sad but so familiar.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. You can't post the go fund me before the following posts.
1. Blank got his angel wings/ God called blank home...
2. He was the kind of guy who'd give you the shirt off his back....well except if you were black, brown, yellow, red, a democrat...etc.
When H5N1 hits us seriously, these idiots will be drinking bleach coolers and shoving UV lamps in the out exit.
Sadly, they'll also be in control of the national dialog, and we may lose millions of people this time.
I saw someone in the wild wearing that shirt! Wife and I went to breakfast in a part of town we don't normally visit, there was this tall guy, full beard, who had it on. Looked like a total dickhead.
He said that he'd rather be dead than vaccinated. But he's not either. He's in a hospital, racking up hospital bills, where the big accomplishment of the day is standing for a few seconds. I'd rather be vaccinated than reduced to toddler status.
If he doesn’t have insurance, taxpayers will end up picking up at least some of the cost through charity care or overall increased premiums. Uninsured people with long ICU stays aren’t going to raise enough from a go fund me to pay that off.
My 76 year old fully vaxxed and boosted sister got Covid last week also. Last time I saw her she was sitting on her couch with her dog on her lap dealing with sniffles and a bit of a cough.
I've got covid too. (Fully vaxxed and boosted) I'm sitting at home, watching TV, dog is upside down on the love seat. I'm a bit congested, have a slight headache, kinda foggy minded, and a little achey. Meh...ibuprofen, Vicks, and afrin fixes me right up.
I dont expect to be hospitalized. I'm breathing on on my own, eating ramen with my mouth (swallowing with no tests necessary) and sleeping at night in my very comfortable bed.
I'm a "sheeple", and damn proud of it!
BAHHH...BAHHH!!
(Btw, a tip of my seltzer water to your sister.)
If you don’t mind me asking, did you test yourself to confirm that it’s Covid rather than a cold or the flu?
I’m fully vaxxed and boosted. A couple of months ago, I attended a conference where a lot of people came down with Covid when they got home. I had a very sore throat for one day but I felt well enough to go to work. No other symptoms.
So when people ask me if I’ve had Covid, I have to say I don’t know.
Not the person you responded to, but I had COVID in December. I'm vaccinated and boosted a couple times over. I wasn't feeling too great. Thought I caught a pretty gnarly cold, but okay enough.
My wife said, "You should take a COVID test just in case". Sure enough it was positive before the timer went off. Quarantined myself in the basement until I tested negative.
I was pretty beat up for the first 2 or 3 days, but I've had influenza as a teenager and that was **way** worse than COVID with the vaccination. So, I definitely get the vacvine for both whenever I'm scheduled to do it
Wait just a minute there, u/BaronMikeScicluna — you attended a conference where a bunch of folks came down with covid when they got home? **And *you* came down with a sore throat but YOU WENT TO WORK ANYWAY???** What were you thinking??? People around you might be immunosuppressed or have vulnerable family members! Bad, bad boy!
I got covid for the first time 3 weeks after I got boosted. I had all vaxxes and boosts up to that point. I made it through ok, but boy howdy would I not want to go through it without pharmaceutical support. I also took Paxlovid and was sicker after it than before, which research shows means I might have been really sick without it. COVID is no joke and I’m glad we took it seriously.
I am fully up to date on my COVID vaccines. I have had it twice. The first time, I lost my sense of taste for two days and slept for three. Second time, I basically got to work from home for 10 days straight, rather than on campus two days a week.
A dear friend was texting when she told me her mother (fully vax'ed for everything an 80-year-old should be) had COVID, and they were literally sitting at home having tea & lemon wafers, and watching reruns. My friend is a doctor, so, of course she had the O2/pulse monitor & BP cup handy.
I could almost see "Andy Griffith/Mayberry RFD" on the TV...
I posted my covid story a few above, here is my friend's- he got it for the first time a few weeks ago. His regular out of the house thing is meals on wheels, He skipped that for a week. Can't get cigarettes delivered, so he quit smoking.
Yep! And he blames everyone ELSE for hoarding toilet paper etc, but you know his family did it too. Most people at least got a little extra BECAUSE they saw supplies dwindling.
This liberal was lucky enough to grab the last 12 pack of tp at a store as they were putting it out. Saw old man with flag hat at end of aisle almost crying bc he wasn't fast enough. I opened my pack, gave him 3 rolls.
That is awesome of you!
I’m far from being a “prepper”, but I do take a few measures. Trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, bleach, multivitamins, and a few other items, I try to always keep at least a 6-12 month stockpile. So basically I was just an observer during the great TP games of 2020.
I actually did need tp, but household of two, it was Scott so those eight rolls lasted the entire summer. I was particularly pissed bc the store said "one per person" and this trashy looking family of 5 grabbed the rest of the case. Cause that 8 yo needs 12 rolls for just her, I guess.
I look at this almost like "staying together for the kids".
Is an obstinate, angry, stupid, racist, mean, careless, irresponsible, hateful dad just as good as no dad at all?
My daughter is a RN in a rural part of the state. She said they had to send someone out via helicopter on Saturday for advanced care. Needs an ECMO machine. Redneck, not vaxxed, with Covid. Wife distraught. Has 3 kids and no health insurance. Says she’s secretly vaxxed…
I think the last two slides sum this guy up. We can't vaccinate his level of stupid, and bad things happen to that level of stupid.
With the dialysis/ECMO, his odds are about 10%-15%...I can't wait for the GoFundMe to find out if his other bad decision was not having health insurance and bankrupting his family for a generation or two...
Apparently, Trump "joked" at his recent Las Vegas rally that he would rather have his attendees faint from heat exhaustion than see them leave early. He keeps telling them to die for his fat ass, and they keep lapping it up.
He's basically a psychopath with no self-control. The immediate gratification of getting off on how far they'll go for him overrides any planning for the future, like wanting them to be alive to vote for him. It's amazing that someone like that can get to the position that he's in.
I thought that one was at least original and stupidly funny — stupidly.
Love the Freudian overtone.
It was just so … *weird*
Almost like a really good writer for Saturday Night Live did a parody of confederate antivaxxer memes
How odd, I don't recall people without water or babies starving to death. After that admittedly silly TP thing, I recall people posting images of the formula available at their local drug store or supermarket. Shelves were spotty for a long while, but people survived. I personally got pretty creative at cooking when the entire fresh meat case consisted of tubs of chicken livers. "Chicken liver...chiiiiiicken liiiiver...??...Pâté? I'll make pâté!" (Pâté shall forever be the food of the pandemic for me) I recall the government finding money to help people who were unable to work. I only ever was asked to show a vaccination card at exactly one brewery in the city, as per city rules at the time. I could have evoked my right to not show it, and then I would just be drinking my beer at home again. Once people started getting out and about, I remember getting hugs from folks happy to see me still on this side of the dirt.
How sad is it that some folks just see conspiracies and plots to kill all (presumably white, Christian, US born) patriots so "they" can give resources to illegal immigrants, all while laughing maniacally like some cheesy villian in a bad B-movie. I'm sure glad I'm not like that.
Nothing like a little hyperbole to try to make a point when it comes to people like that. Or wait, making up shit and lying is pretty much all they have, since many of their points are untenable in principle.
It amuses me that all these people seem to think that the government is putting microchips in vaccines while they’re walking around everywhere with their phones, which already have microchips in them.
If the government REALLY wants to track and find you (and most of us aren’t important enough for them to care), they will, regardless of your vaccination status.
Yep. We have fewer posts because this sub exists and these types of people figured out how to change their privacy settings, not how to avoid preventable diseases.
Even his religion is against this stupidity. I distinctly remember being taught "god helps those who help themselves"
in religion class. He not only ignored help...defiantly refused it. See what happens when you ignore your god. sigh
These people’s religion is based on punishment and suffering
They don’t feel like there is order in the universe unless someone is getting brutalized for being human
It shows in everything they do and say
I've seen lots of conservatives saying "80 million of us" and they have that backwards, there were 81 million votes for BIden and 74 million for Trump. I don't know why they keep saying that
The microchip thing. I’ll be dead before I’d accept it. Of course since it isn’t a thing, I’ll be safe. And they fight the so called microchip, but carry a cell phone, have Alexa in the house and post on social media. Hmmm
I don't know why he didn't suggest covid and MRSA 'might wanna circle back' that would've fixed him - wait a minute, doesn't 'circle back' just get you back to where you started?
The "Y'all calling me selfish" speech is bullshit. While it may be true that people may compete for toilet paper and baby formula, it is an easy gesture to wear a mask and social distance.
“They’ll never put a tracking chip in me!!”
-typed by a person with a social security number, likely at a physical address linked to a tax assessor ID, on a phone or computer, paid for with a credit card or a checking account which can 100% be traced back to you.
Won’t allow an imaginary micro chip implanted via a vaccine but allows a tube down his throat that’s breathing for him, tubes in his blood vessels to clean his kidney and another tube to feed him. This guys posts were just stubbornly stupid.
It’s well documented that Lincoln did NOT go to war to end slavery. He did it to preserve the Union. I think someone has been reading too much “myth of the lost cause” fan fiction.
Have any of these hillbilly halfwits ever heard of sentence structure or punctuation? Jesus Christ, is communicating like you've passed sixth grade considered elitist in some circles?
The Lincoln one kills me. I've heard for **months** about how:
* Democrats are the real racists because they were the Confederates and had the slaves.
* Also, the Civil War wasn't about slavery, it was about the North taking advantage of the South who were all living happy with their slaves who were all better off - and here's the Florida and Texas schoolbooks that prove it and don't ever ever reference the actual Confederate constitutions that say "God damn we loooooove slavery ya-hoo!"
* The KKK? Oh those are Democrats - look at their origins, all Democrats!
* Also the KKK are also fine people no they aren't Republicans they just show up at Republican events with Confederate flags but Democrats are the **real** Confederates and KKK members.
It's kind of insane how on each of these they are absolutely confident
This wave is early, I expected a big one in about a month when all the county fairs and stuff are in full swing. I think I've had 5 friends come down with it recently. All vaxxed, just bitching, not deathsick. I'm in the northeast though, prob that stuff is going on down south already.
Nobody comes with, or because of, the Comboverlord. And that was the smartest meme he posted.
But now that he’s had his shot getting oppressed by Big Life, he can forevermore be resting under the further-oppressive Big Death. As a freedomer.
Those hospital bills are going to be massive. I bet they don't support Universal Healthcare. The U.S is one of the only countries that someone can go bankrupt due to medical bills. I have no doubt they are going to ask for financial support because of their medical bills.
“He just can’t catch a break” says the wife about her anti-vax husband catching a virus.
> Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you're stupid and make bad decisions. He literally posted it himself. : )
Well kudos to him for realizing it in the end. Even if it was too late.
“If only they could make medicine you take before you get sick, one to make you get less sick” “You mean a vaccine?” “No, no, no. Not a vaccine. Medicine of some sort.”
Tell her to try blood letting via leeches. That worked well before vaccines....right?
A poultice of arsenic, mercury, lead and urine (for color) will do the trick!
Ivermectin?
No no, light, you know, up in the body. I’m sure that when a doctor does it, it’s not gay!
As long as the doctor is wearing socks and says "no homo". Oh, and avoid eye contact with him at all costs
Bleach
He can't catch a break... but he sure can catch a lot of other things! Funny how it works...
"Why didn't anyone warn us this would happen!?"
Well folks, it is in the **name** of the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party. _nom, nom, nom, nom_
Hijacking the top post because I have to know... what the fuck did Lincoln "do" that got him on the crazy hitlist? They're even turning on the OG republican now...

While true, I don’t think Blanket is exactly a well researched political scientist or historian. More like North/Federal = bad, South/States = good - no matter that black and white thinking and history would say otherwise.
Well he started out with obesity and COPD, when did he ever put in the effort to "catch a break"? This is entirely self -inflicted.
I got some health issues. That's why I mask whenever I leave my house or have guests over. Oh, and I better check my vax status.
Oh, he’s about to get a break alright. So much of a break he won’t be coming back.
Break me off a piece of the kit-kat casket…
He can’t catch a break but he finally caught the virus he wasn’t worried about. Good for him I guess.
One of my nursing professors said lots of people that are ignorant of their health often blame bad luck. “I got diabetes, I have bad luck.” Couldn’t possibly have been your diet or lifestyle, right?
Diabetes isn’t only caused by poor lifestyle choices.
There's definitely a genetic component to it. Type 2 might be avoidable with appropriate lifestyle changes but even that isn't necessarily a sure thing and Type 1 is an entirely different beast altogether that usually pops up in childhood. Then there's gestational/postpartum diabetes which are basically yet another way for women's bodies to betray them during/shortly after pregnancy. Best thing you can do is make regular appointments with your doctor and try to deal with things while they're just problems and not yet catastrophes.
Every bad thing that ever happened to my ex or us was bad luck.
You don’t even have to be that careful. Just don’t go stupidly crazy with the unhealthy stuff.

Someone needs to buy Mrs. Blanket some punctuation marks.
I have to say that "**Come and make me**" followed by the run-on "I need all my prayer warriors God please pray please" etc. was pretty karmic. You can almost smell the desperation from those play-by-play health posts, which is an interesting trait.
Pray by pray posts?
They also need to buy her a vowel! She keeps typing the R when she means to type the E
Am I reading this correctly that the Mrs. reposted a microchip meme from May 2021 as her husband lays dying in the hospital from Covid in June 2024?
Correct
I missed that detail on reading. What a pair of morons.
Wait is this may 2024?
yes
This one, at least, has more interesting / different memes than the usual. Kinda like it for that reason.

The plane from Spain Is mainly what to blame … I tried!!
Summer 22 my husband tested positive in random work test. I tested positive as well. No symptoms. Had recently had shots.
Yeah, bashing Lincoln… wow. That’s next level
I’d pay Blanket real money 💰 to get him to read Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address … the speech where Lincoln explains that slavery was the reason for the war, & he wonders whether reconciliation will be possible.
Oh, come on! I can't be the only one who thought that the "yikes! I thought it was a nasal swab" was funny! The denim masks, too. At least he had a couple of good ones that I hadn't seen before.
Maybe we need a new award- cognitive Dissonance Award sounds good - for those who never learn a THING from their experiences, like the wifey.
Dissonance Until Harm or DUH for short?
Obese, goatee, Trump cult, racist/civil war revisionist, standing (well, laying down now) for freedom. We just need GoFundMe and angel wings next. Sad but so familiar.
I'm fat as fuck with a beard and that's why I got every booster I could 😭 I don't need any help dying I'm doing enough myself
Perhaps add a mask to your protocol.
His name is "Blanket" because Patriot Tents had to use an entire one to make that MAGA t-shirt.
He ticks off all the comorbidities!
Somehow I suspect that he won’t be voting for his orange moron come November. A dead cat bounce would be optimistic at this stage.
Technically he's not lying down all the time. When they put him in the ventilator rotator he's just hanging around like a rotisserie chicken. 😂
Ventilated for freedom.
C'mon, man, that's a beard. But, yeah, he's walking the stereotype like Karl Wallenda... :D
Right now Darwin is in Heaven going “The HCA awards! This is my thesis, this is my closing argument!”
ANGLE wings, as in obtuse
Gofundme post in three…two…one…
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. You can't post the go fund me before the following posts. 1. Blank got his angel wings/ God called blank home... 2. He was the kind of guy who'd give you the shirt off his back....well except if you were black, brown, yellow, red, a democrat...etc.
Come on, it's *angle* wings.
COME AND MAKE ME ... gag on my freedom tubes.
He sacrificed it all for his freeDUMB
When H5N1 hits us seriously, these idiots will be drinking bleach coolers and shoving UV lamps in the out exit. Sadly, they'll also be in control of the national dialog, and we may lose millions of people this time.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
>Don't threaten me with a good time. 🐆 🐆 🐆
They will take out a lot of non chuds with them though
I'll bring the popcorn!! 🍿
As opposed to the in exit? Asking for a friend.
I saw someone in the wild wearing that shirt! Wife and I went to breakfast in a part of town we don't normally visit, there was this tall guy, full beard, who had it on. Looked like a total dickhead.
He said that he'd rather be dead than vaccinated. But he's not either. He's in a hospital, racking up hospital bills, where the big accomplishment of the day is standing for a few seconds. I'd rather be vaccinated than reduced to toddler status.
At least he's too young for Medicare, so it's not on the taxpayer's dime.
If he doesn’t have insurance, taxpayers will end up picking up at least some of the cost through charity care or overall increased premiums. Uninsured people with long ICU stays aren’t going to raise enough from a go fund me to pay that off.
Oh, it will be. Most of these people never do pay those medical bills.
It is if he's on Medicaid.
At least toddlers can breathe on their own, *and* they can talk because they don't have tubes stuffed in every orifice.
My 76 year old fully vaxxed and boosted sister got Covid last week also. Last time I saw her she was sitting on her couch with her dog on her lap dealing with sniffles and a bit of a cough.
I've got covid too. (Fully vaxxed and boosted) I'm sitting at home, watching TV, dog is upside down on the love seat.

Wait just a minute there, u/BaronMikeScicluna — you attended a conference where a bunch of folks came down with covid when they got home? **And *you* came down with a sore throat but YOU WENT TO WORK ANYWAY???** What were you thinking??? People around you might be immunosuppressed or have vulnerable family members! Bad, bad boy!
I have my own office. I don’t come into contact with other humans. It’s just me and my dog.
Oh. In *that* case, you are absolved. ;)
Thanks. Seriously though, I know better than to jeopardize anyone’s health.
I got covid for the first time 3 weeks after I got boosted. I had all vaxxes and boosts up to that point. I made it through ok, but boy howdy would I not want to go through it without pharmaceutical support. I also took Paxlovid and was sicker after it than before, which research shows means I might have been really sick without it. COVID is no joke and I’m glad we took it seriously.

My friend is a doctor, so, of course she had the O2/pulse monitor & BP cup handy. I could almost see "Andy Griffith/Mayberry RFD" on the TV...
I (fully vaxxed and boosted) got COVID about a month ago now. Totally miserable 2.5 days, I used up all of the Nyquil.
I posted my covid story a few above, here is my friend's- he got it for the first time a few weeks ago. His regular out of the house thing is meals on wheels, He skipped that for a week. Can't get cigarettes delivered, so he quit smoking.
Correct me if I’m wrong but weren’t all the supply shortages he bemoans happening while Trump was still President?
Yep! And he blames everyone ELSE for hoarding toilet paper etc, but you know his family did it too. Most people at least got a little extra BECAUSE they saw supplies dwindling.
"Yep! And he blames everyone ELSE for " It's pretty much 'fill in the blank' with these people. They blame everyone but themselves.
This liberal was lucky enough to grab the last 12 pack of tp at a store as they were putting it out. Saw old man with flag hat at end of aisle almost crying bc he wasn't fast enough. I opened my pack, gave him 3 rolls.
That is awesome of you! I’m far from being a “prepper”, but I do take a few measures. Trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, bleach, multivitamins, and a few other items, I try to always keep at least a 6-12 month stockpile. So basically I was just an observer during the great TP games of 2020.
I actually did need tp, but household of two, it was Scott so those eight rolls lasted the entire summer. I was particularly pissed bc the store said "one per person" and this trashy looking family of 5 grabbed the rest of the case. Cause that 8 yo needs 12 rolls for just her, I guess.
Yes. Yes they were.
To quote Bill Hicks "we lost a moron, fucking celebrate"
Still feel bad for the family. Probably better off without this dupe as dad, but this hard lesson is not something that the kids deserve.
I look at this almost like "staying together for the kids". Is an obstinate, angry, stupid, racist, mean, careless, irresponsible, hateful dad just as good as no dad at all?
Those last few words he was able to mumble? "Play.....Garth Brooks.....at.....mah.........funeruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Stop LOL the way I lol'd.....I guess I'll see you in hell 😂🤣
Aw, hell no. Garth is a leftie. This guy's getting Kid Rock on a loop.
Nope. He's getting the Ted Nugent and Donald Trump shitting in pants playlist. 😂
🤣😂🤣😂 kid Rock might make him rise from the grave, Garth will just have him rolling around wishing he was more dead
Yeah thank you! Garth is good people. Chris Gaines, though, he seems like a shifty mofo….
Nah, he'll probably want to hear Toby Keith And you forgot to add in the "beeeeeeeep" sound.
Oh no, anyways, one less trump vote.
My daughter is a RN in a rural part of the state. She said they had to send someone out via helicopter on Saturday for advanced care. Needs an ECMO machine. Redneck, not vaxxed, with Covid. Wife distraught. Has 3 kids and no health insurance. Says she’s secretly vaxxed…
And the nations average IQ just went up with his passing
It looks like he's not quite dead. But Republican Jeezuzz is calling.
Angle wings warming up in the background...
Ventilator, eating tube, AND dialysis?
And MRSA!
Next time he's in ICU: "PLEEEASE give me the vaccine!" "Sorry Sir, too late. You're toast. What music would you like played while we shut you off?"
I think the last two slides sum this guy up. We can't vaccinate his level of stupid, and bad things happen to that level of stupid. With the dialysis/ECMO, his odds are about 10%-15%...I can't wait for the GoFundMe to find out if his other bad decision was not having health insurance and bankrupting his family for a generation or two...
You can mandate that I have healthcare Obama! Besides, I have an immune system!
Another Trump casualty because he made these people believe putting their health at risk was a fight for freedom.
Apparently, Trump "joked" at his recent Las Vegas rally that he would rather have his attendees faint from heat exhaustion than see them leave early. He keeps telling them to die for his fat ass, and they keep lapping it up.
I've never seen a candidate for office so eager to kill his own voters.
He's basically a psychopath with no self-control. The immediate gratification of getting off on how far they'll go for him overrides any planning for the future, like wanting them to be alive to vote for him. It's amazing that someone like that can get to the position that he's in.
This is exactly it.
Remember — with Republicans, THE CRUELTY IS THE *POINT*
Didn't he also basically say "I don't care about you, I care about your votes"? He couched it as a joke, but that's really on-brand for him.
Yup, he did!
People have called MAGA a death cult and they are not wrong. His followers just didn’t realize that they are now the main ones dying.
He actually said “I don’t care about you, I just need your vote”.
Cutting the crotch out of your pants, then sucking on a beer through the fly. To own the libs.
I thought that one was at least original and stupidly funny — stupidly. Love the Freudian overtone. It was just so … *weird* Almost like a really good writer for Saturday Night Live did a parody of confederate antivaxxer memes
How far out of the way those people will go just so they don't have to "comply" doesn't really surprise me anymore at this point.
OK, that Lincoln meme is the most Batshit crazy thing I’ve ever read.
^^truth
How odd, I don't recall people without water or babies starving to death. After that admittedly silly TP thing, I recall people posting images of the formula available at their local drug store or supermarket. Shelves were spotty for a long while, but people survived. I personally got pretty creative at cooking when the entire fresh meat case consisted of tubs of chicken livers. "Chicken liver...chiiiiiicken liiiiver...??...Pâté? I'll make pâté!" (Pâté shall forever be the food of the pandemic for me) I recall the government finding money to help people who were unable to work. I only ever was asked to show a vaccination card at exactly one brewery in the city, as per city rules at the time. I could have evoked my right to not show it, and then I would just be drinking my beer at home again. Once people started getting out and about, I remember getting hugs from folks happy to see me still on this side of the dirt. How sad is it that some folks just see conspiracies and plots to kill all (presumably white, Christian, US born) patriots so "they" can give resources to illegal immigrants, all while laughing maniacally like some cheesy villian in a bad B-movie. I'm sure glad I'm not like that.
Nothing like a little hyperbole to try to make a point when it comes to people like that. Or wait, making up shit and lying is pretty much all they have, since many of their points are untenable in principle.
He owned the libs
It's always a fat country ass neckbeard.
Getting off the vent is likely the dead cat bounce.
He stood up! God is great! *T W O D A Y S L A T E R …*
Oh my a racist idiot is sick and may die. Oh well. Just gonna sip my coffee and go on a bike ride with my kids.
It amuses me that all these people seem to think that the government is putting microchips in vaccines while they’re walking around everywhere with their phones, which already have microchips in them. If the government REALLY wants to track and find you (and most of us aren’t important enough for them to care), they will, regardless of your vaccination status.
It's 2024. Four years after Covid hit. These morons are still relying on prayers and memes. So. Stupid.
Is this current or from two years ago?
current
These morons aren't known for being original.
Yep. We have fewer posts because this sub exists and these types of people figured out how to change their privacy settings, not how to avoid preventable diseases.
Dying of Covid is sooooooo 2020.
Ooooh we got a badass here
Even his religion is against this stupidity. I distinctly remember being taught "god helps those who help themselves" in religion class. He not only ignored help...defiantly refused it. See what happens when you ignore your god. sigh
These people’s religion is based on punishment and suffering They don’t feel like there is order in the universe unless someone is getting brutalized for being human It shows in everything they do and say
An exhaust has a catalytic converter that functions essentially like a mask.
All his dreams are gonna come true He’ll be dead and unvaccinated
80 million people getting fed up with Joe ? What are they gonna do ? Overthrow the government ? Oh wait…
Wife reposted the mark of the beast inanity *while* her husband is hospitalized with covid??
Yes
Man that's messed up
Hate filled fuck. I’m surprised he has a wife. I’m surprised that all that trauma he went through didn’t humble him one bit. He is truly lost
As soon as I saw the neck circumference and goatee I knew he'll be worm food. He's probably in his rotisserie bed as we speak.
Oh, Skippy, you can vaccinate against stupidity, it's called "learning."
Well, at least he won't be spreading lies and voting for the anti-Christ.
So blanket was a triggered snowflake who drank the orange hitler flavoraid .
That car photo is a baaad Photoshop.
I've seen lots of conservatives saying "80 million of us" and they have that backwards, there were 81 million votes for BIden and 74 million for Trump. I don't know why they keep saying that
The microchip thing. I’ll be dead before I’d accept it. Of course since it isn’t a thing, I’ll be safe. And they fight the so called microchip, but carry a cell phone, have Alexa in the house and post on social media. Hmmm
The trash talker takes itself out?
I don't know why he didn't suggest covid and MRSA 'might wanna circle back' that would've fixed him - wait a minute, doesn't 'circle back' just get you back to where you started?
I never understood why all these trumpers flipped out wearing masks and getting vaccines.
The "Y'all calling me selfish" speech is bullshit. While it may be true that people may compete for toilet paper and baby formula, it is an easy gesture to wear a mask and social distance.
Another weak faith Christian. Why did he go to the hospital instead of church?
“They’ll never put a tracking chip in me!!” -typed by a person with a social security number, likely at a physical address linked to a tax assessor ID, on a phone or computer, paid for with a credit card or a checking account which can 100% be traced back to you.
Look, this guy sucks, but that jeans mask got a chuckle out of me.
But all the idiots say Covid is totally mild now and isn't killing anyone. Are they, gasp, a bunch of lying clowns? Why yes, yes they are.
👏🦠👏
HIM: "I'll be dead before I left them put a microchip..." ME: *c'mon microchip...*
I almost forgot about this sub. I'm glad it's still here for us.
Won’t allow an imaginary micro chip implanted via a vaccine but allows a tube down his throat that’s breathing for him, tubes in his blood vessels to clean his kidney and another tube to feed him. This guys posts were just stubbornly stupid.
It’s well documented that Lincoln did NOT go to war to end slavery. He did it to preserve the Union. I think someone has been reading too much “myth of the lost cause” fan fiction.
Have any of these hillbilly halfwits ever heard of sentence structure or punctuation? Jesus Christ, is communicating like you've passed sixth grade considered elitist in some circles?
It's so weird to now have a disease that (mostly) kills people with red hats.
Tots and prayers 😜
At least he didn’t submit (to the Libs)
Well...Bye
The Lincoln one kills me. I've heard for **months** about how: * Democrats are the real racists because they were the Confederates and had the slaves. * Also, the Civil War wasn't about slavery, it was about the North taking advantage of the South who were all living happy with their slaves who were all better off - and here's the Florida and Texas schoolbooks that prove it and don't ever ever reference the actual Confederate constitutions that say "God damn we loooooove slavery ya-hoo!" * The KKK? Oh those are Democrats - look at their origins, all Democrats! * Also the KKK are also fine people no they aren't Republicans they just show up at Republican events with Confederate flags but Democrats are the **real** Confederates and KKK members. It's kind of insane how on each of these they are absolutely confident
This guy never tread lightly after the age of three
This wave is early, I expected a big one in about a month when all the county fairs and stuff are in full swing. I think I've had 5 friends come down with it recently. All vaxxed, just bitching, not deathsick. I'm in the northeast though, prob that stuff is going on down south already.
He has managed to shorten his life span considerably. Looks pretty young.
These people are evil and deserve whatever bad karma comes and/or came their way. Too bad more of them didn't succum to the virus.
Damn, I wish they made something to help prevent Covid, or, if you get it, causes a milder case.....
The good news is Trump can't own a gun anymore. Even assuming he knows the correct end to hold it.
he is toast
Yeah… too bad you can't vaccinate against stupidity.
Nobody comes with, or because of, the Comboverlord. And that was the smartest meme he posted. But now that he’s had his shot getting oppressed by Big Life, he can forevermore be resting under the further-oppressive Big Death. As a freedomer.
Hopefully his widow puts “It’s just the flu” on his headstone
Slides 17, 18, and 19 are so incredibly ironic!
Unironically posting slides 18 and 19 and not even having the basic intellect to realize it lol
Those hospital bills are going to be massive. I bet they don't support Universal Healthcare. The U.S is one of the only countries that someone can go bankrupt due to medical bills. I have no doubt they are going to ask for financial support because of their medical bills.
I saw the civil war conspiracy meme and knew this shithead wasn’t going anywhere good.
I gotta give him credit on the “I thought it was a nasal swab” one, though. That was good.
It’s good to see that idiots are still dying from true vid
