He was a fucking tool, yet he didn’t deserve pancreatic cancer. :frowning:

Fuck cancer!

Though his entire thing of being “Joe the plumber” was a lie, maybe they can honor his memory by giving him a plumber’s funeral. I understand this involves being eaten by turtles and/or carnivorous plants.

So much of America just collectively lost their shit when we elected a black man president.

What’s the ETA for theories about how he was deliberately silenced by Obamacare and/or communism’s destruction of the world’s greatest medical system compromised what would have been a successful treatment?

Not a Joe. Not a Plumber. Not alive.

Joe was out in front of things, then. He started his shitfuckery while Obama was on the campaign trail.

What surprises me the most is that he was 49. I would have guessed that to be his age back in 2008.

I won’t go so far as to be glad someone’s gone, but if you followed him post Obama and into Trump and into the qanon / covid days, you’d understand why I’m going to say “this is the only good fascist. A dead one.”

Remember that time Wurzelbacher tried to spin his 15 minutes of fame into a gig as a “war correspondent” in Gaza? That was pretty embarrassing for everyone involved.

Yeah, seriously … this plumber’s tool was younger than me?!? I would have put him at least a decade up on me, although attitude and personality has a lot to do with that.

It’s a few years old, but still.

A beloved person to his family, a liar to millions. Fuck Joe the Plumber.

If this had happened to someone like Greta Thunberg, the right-wing conservatives would have put it down to God’s righteous fury. In the case of Joe, they’ll settle this time for “medical condition”.

Being Not-A-Plumber is really hard work.

I do NOT remember that. Is that satire, or is there footage out there?
