Thank you for your sacrifice in finding that out, so I/we didn’t need to dig through the dregs…
My neighbor is still beating this drum. And he’s obese, and a smoker, so high risk. And no spring chicken.
I just.don’t. get it.

Denial.
It won’t prevent them from “getting it,” either.

I mean, I kind of get it, but…my brow. I fear the furrow is permanent.

In addition to denial being a factor, American movement conservatism is a death cult. Followers would rather harm themselves than see someone who’s “undeserving” get a benefit, even if they get the same benefit.

Despite the buffon-y image he gave during the campaign, his tea party politics, and his wrongheaded public reaction to Covid, Cain was a very very smart guy, and a genuine rags-to-riches story. Inspiring even. I hope his estate finds a way to honor that aspect of his life.
Give me a break. So he started out with little and became a rich Republican who advocated fuck-the-poor and murderous policies? Fuck that kind of legacy.

He was a self hating Black man who gleefully sold out his own people for personal gain; there’s nothing “inspiring” to me about a spineless lick-spittle who died of his own willful stupidity… regardless to what his bank account looked like when he died.
May his soul rot.

We all have the opportunity to choose our legacies. Cain chose a terrible and embarrassing public one.

His pizza was even more of a joke than his presidential campaign.

He had access to the best advice but chose to put himself at risk. What’s more, he encouraged people to do things which have led to the needless deaths of over a hundred thousand and will almost certainly lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands or millions more in this country. I have very little sympathy left for people like that. Mine is for the nurses or doctors who are currently patients in the hospital where they usually work thanks to an infected patient, to the person who has been forced back to work in unsafe conditions, to those who can’t afford medical care and the rest of covidiocy’s victims.

If someone’s only measure of a life is how financially successful that person was, then such an individual truly has my pity.

Then there’s that. I completely forgot about the waiver, talk about insult to injury.
The universe was screaming at this guy not to go.

EVERYthing the campaign puts out is atrocious.
the BB email addresses routinely get signed up for all sorts of drek, including trump campaign emauls, and every time I see them, I can’t believe how they are written. They are browbeating and insulting folks into donating by using such tactics as “We checked the records, you haven’t voted this quarter. Why not? The president is COUNTING ON YOU! Do you want to be the reason we lose?!” and “Donate $240 or more to be put on the Trump prestige list! He will print this list out and hang it in his office!”. Never a mention of policy.
It’s grifters, all the way down.

I’m not measuring his success by his wealth, or measuring him at all, just appreciating how he got there.
I’m sure whoever runs their sucker list has studied the techniques of the Nigerian 419 scammers.
