Bondi, who was diagnosed shortly after being ousted in April, is also joining the White House's new advisory council on AI.

        Sorry, it’s thyroid, which has a high-nineties-percent 5-year survival rate. No kind of cancer is good, but most are worse.

        I was rooting for spinal or pancreatic cancer. Oh well, eventually a pin will hit the right spot in the doll.

          Survival rate is one thing, thyroid shit is annoying as hell. She’s probably been dealing with complications from it for a while. If that makes anyone feel a bit better via schadenfreude.

        Can you point at these right wingers and magats that reside on this platform? Are they in the room with us?

        It certainly can’t be about how everyone knows someone that died from cancer and that some of those deaths caused some people a lot of pain and making fun about cancer is triggering for those people on a personal level.

        I agree with the sentiment against the fascist regime, but siding with cancer is a bridge too far.

          Hi, I had cancer myself. Hopefully it stays had. She was part of the administration that is pushing to increase cancer rates in people. She deserves this and more.

          Speaking as someone who knows a person who has been utterly destroyed by the kind of shit Pam Bondi worked to cover up so hard, and seen how they live with hells the rest of us can’t imagine because of the casual sexual tastes of the elite class for children, I can honestly and based on real life experience say, NO. It’s NOT.

          Cancer is actually pretty fucking tame, and limited both in scope and time, than the inner hell of a child who has been trafficked and then makes it into adulthood: that’s cancer on steroids for a lifetime.

          And people with cancer also get help and healthcare, maybe not enough, but it’s something that is seen by others and studied and a lot of people care about it. On the other hand, people with experience of being trafficked as children don’t get jack shit, and more often than not any helping hand extended to them is just the doorway into another exploitation because that’s what they were trained to accept from childhood’s earliest hour.

          So as much sympathy as I do actually have for people who have battled cancer, it’s not even a real comparison: the hell of surviving what Pam Bondi protects is magnitudes beyond what people who have never been a survivor or adjacent to what they go through can imagine, day in and day out for as long as they live, more traumas before the age of twelve than they can ever address in a lifetime.

          Glad that your life has been blessed such that you don’t personally know the difference, but honestly you can take your cancer-hating, pedo-protector-sparing outrage somewhere else.

          I lost people close to me from cancer and currently am getting tested to see if I have cancer.

          She deserves this and I wish it was a more painful and less survivable type

    Why are we talking about her cancer? Doesn’t she know the Dow is over 50k?

    She shouldn’t let it bring her down. I mean, has she seen the recent Dow numbers?

      Ironically that’s probably in part why she got it, depending on her genes and her exposures. She might be just predisposed, but there’s also a good chance that good old American corporate greed and chasing ever increasing record quarterly profits at the expense of regulations, environmental and health concerns, has exposed her to more carcinogenic substances than she could handle.

    Cancer sucks. I don’t wish cancer on anybody…

    …but karma’s a bitch, ain’t it? Also, don’t let this stop us from prosecuting her for her crimes.

    I wish her a long life, so she can receive a fair trial and a long sentence.

    You mean cancer has been diagnosed with Pam Bondi. My thoughts and prayers go out to it. May it find peace and success.

    The shitbag loser is still benefiting from socialized healthcare insurance that every legal US resident should have.
