Fuck cancer that shit deserves weinstein

[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 weeks ago

I feel bad for the cancer.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Ferreal. Save the cancer and the taxpayer dollars. Shuffle that fetid fuckstain off to his final career as fertilizer.

What if he’s faking to get an early release?

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy /s

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Fuck that guy.

Is it weird that when Democrat-leaning people are shit bags, the left and right both hate them? When Republican-leaning people are shitbags, only the left condemns them, and the right protects them.

You can find so many cases of Republicans saying, "He's an asshole, but he's our asshole." Maybe too many to count.

Counterpoint: it could happen to nicer people, and it’s great that for once it didn’t.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Literally took the exact words out of my mouth.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Then that’s a repeat theft because I came to say the same thing.

Oh no. Anyway.

Two wrongs may not make a right, but a negative times a negative sure does equal a positive

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Here's hoping he dies in prison.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought he was dead already.

It's easy to confuse them: they're both perverts that have names ending in ...ey ...stein

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Now I'm wondering what Frankenstein really did with all those corpses...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I mean...at least they were dead? That's a courtesy some of Weinstein's and Epstein's victims had to take in their own hands.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not excited to have something in common with this fucking monster.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago

Damn, fr? /hug homey. I sincerely hope you get better, anyway possible.

Rare cancer W

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (5 children)

I wouldn't wish dying from cancer upon anyone. Horrible stuff. That said, I hope it metastatizes to his intestines and kidneys and not his pancreas. Let's pray. He can still live a long life on dialysis and with a cholostomy bag

Dope. Hope it's slow and painful.

I feel sorry for the leukemia

My 3 close family members died of different kinds of lymphoma in the past decade. I think I paint the border where I wish someone to have it or not lies in between Weinstein and J.Epstein

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Wait... Your border of who you wish has cancer is between Weinstein and Epstein?

Like... Which one of those two do you think doesn't deserve cancer? (Hypothetically, of course, since Bill Barr already prevented Epstein from that particular fate.)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought he meant, like, inclusive 'and'

Like the line is between (Epstein+Weinstein) and everyone who is not (Epstein+Weinstein)

Im high as shit, please y'all go easy on me

No

Please take care. Don't forget to drink enough water

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. There are a lot of wrongdoings and making women have sex with you through blackmail is better (fucked, I know) than selling underaged children as sextoys.

Ask and ye shall receive!

And I hope it's extremely painful for him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I hope it's painful.

Leukemia got Harvey Weinstein.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

I hope the Leukemia is ok.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

We already pay for this deadbeat's free housing and now he wants American taxpayers to subsidize his medical needs on top of that? Lol no.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought there was a weird mistrial and he got elt out, and now he's going to trial again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

He would have, but only the New York case was declared a mistrial. He's still convicted in California with a 16 year sentence. The New York case is being tried again, so hopefully he is convicted and the additional 20+ years are returned.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I never say this, but good for cancer!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I hope someone gives him the advice that he should consider refusing treatment, given the fact that he won't live long enough to be a free man with or without the treatment. He's lived his life, and left his legacy, now he needs to leave this world.
