What I find depressing on a personal level is a cartoonist I always enjoyed reading and admired - Scott Adams, the guy who draws Dilbert - is a massive Trump supporter.

 

 

Turns out that he now has prostate cancer: https://www.npr.org/2025/05/20/nx-s1-5404399/scott-adams-dilbert-prostate-cancer-biden

 

But does he wait in line for treatment like everyone else, or does he pay for treatment himself (despite being able to, having a fairly sizeable income from Dilbert)? Of course not. He reaches out to the orange buffoon to take care of it for him 🙄 (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/what-is-pluvicto-who-is-scott-adams-and-why-he-needs-donald-trump-help-for-saving-his-life-trump-allies-respond-to-appeal-heres-what-happened-and-everyone-said-dilbert-comic-creator-white-house-deputy-chief-of-staff-dan-scavino-jr-robert-f-kennedy-jr-dr-mehmet-oz/articleshow/125040648.cms?from=mdr)

 

 

 

Depressing that something as important as healthcare in the US seems to be a case of "who you know" and "can you afford it?".

Douglas Adams is asking Trump to send help, that his fortune can't buy?
Its hard to understand how his royalties can't buy him anything USA has capability to do?
Did he lose it all buying Trump and Melina coins?

 

Who knew ivermectin is not a cure all for all things?

 

""
Adams did not go into detail about his treatments, other than saying the anti-parasitic medications ivermectin and fenbendazole did not work for him. There is no evidence to support the claims that ivermectin — which was falsely touted as a treatment for COVID-19 — can treat cancer.
""

 

So not sure what he is after.
Laying on of hands from Trump the chosen one?

But Trump is the incarnation of Zaphod Beeblebrox, predicted by Douglas Adams. 😁

Easy to see how Trump bankrupted a casino.

From Leslie Jones this year: “Keep in mind he bankrupted a casino. A casino. The most efficient money-printing machine mankind ever devised.”

This quote from a casino owner in 1949, that the house (casino management) was so well-backed financially that even a table being “broken” didn’t threaten the casino’s solvency.

“You certainly can’t bankrupt the management by cleaning out a few tables. In twenty minutes, we resume play, with new money.”

This $2,000 promised bribe from Trump and $5 will buy you a cup of coffee.

What to know about Trump's promise of $2,000 tariff dividend payments: America ABC News

President Donald Trump over the weekend vowed to provide each American a $2,000 dividend to be distributed from what he said was tariff revenue.

"A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone,” the president wrote on social media Sunday, in part.

Within hours, however, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent cast doubt on the plan, saying the payout could merely refer to tax savings enshrined by Trump’s signature domestic spending measure.

A tariff dividend may come “in lots of forms,” Bessent told ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday, adding that he had not spoken with Trump about the proposal.
