Does this make your balls rot off?

[-] Lurkinney@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

God willing this will be the first case

[-] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Dope. Hope it's slow and painful.

Rare cancer W

[-] Wilzax@lemmy.world 25 points 7 hours ago

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

[-] Lurkinney@lemmy.world 119 points 10 hours ago

Fuck cancer that shit deserves weinstein

[-] thenextguy@lemmy.world 45 points 9 hours ago

I feel bad for the cancer.

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

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

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

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

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy /s

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 6 points 5 hours ago

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

[-] Wiz@midwest.social 21 points 9 hours ago

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.

Literally took the exact words out of my mouth.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 9 hours ago

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

Oh no. Anyway.

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] DaMonsterKnees@lemmy.world 15 points 7 hours ago

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

[-] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

That definitly explains the weird color he is every time I see pics of him.

I don't wish illness on anyone, but I definitely don't feel sorry for him in this instance.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 26 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Here's hoping he dies in prison.

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 hours ago

I thought he was dead already.

[-] Skunk@jlai.lu 18 points 10 hours ago
[-] ExtremeDullard@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 4 points 7 hours ago

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

[-] Lupus@feddit.org 2 points 7 hours 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.

[-] Luci@lemmy.ca 12 points 9 hours ago

Finally a good news story!!

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago

What's will all the cancer hate in this thread.

[-] _bcron_@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

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

I feel sorry for the leukemia

[-] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

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.)

[-] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 hours 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.

[-] tourist@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

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

No

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

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world I nominate this post for THE TROMBONE lolol

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 9 hours ago

Ask and ye shall receive!

And I hope it's extremely painful for him.

[-] Lurkinney@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Riker? I barely know her

Leukemia got Harvey Weinstein.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 5 points 8 hours ago

I hope the Leukemia is ok.

[-] L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago

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.

[-] formergijoe@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

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

[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours 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.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

I never say this, but good for cancer!
