“I have the same cancer that Joe Biden has. I also have prostate cancer that has also spread to my bones, but I’ve had it longer than he’s had it – well, longer than he’s admitted having it,” Adams said.

He's acting like a child about a life threatening illness. This smacks of a pity based "whataboutism" to take away from someone going through a genuinely bad time.

He has been really shitty since he spent several years unable to speak at all

IDK that's such an awful and terrifying thing to have willed yourself back from. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Now do I wish heate nothing but expired Dilberitos every day of his life? Yes, yes I do want that for him.

"Adams himself noted, "[t]he mineral fortification was hard to disguise, and because of the veggie and legume content, three bites of the Dilberito made you fart so hard your intestines formed a tail."[5] "

The 67-year-old Adams first gained fame as the creator of “Dilbert,” the satirical comic strip that focused on corporate office inanity, in 1989.

Adams has written dozens of books since then, and has become more outspoken about politics in the last decade, sharing views that are mostly pro-Donald Trump and critical of Democrats, on social media. His Rumble show has 38,000 followers, and on X, he has 1.2 million followers.

They seem to have skipped some key things in that biography.

He lost the ability to speak for like 6 years. He got really angry. He lost most of his family and friends in this time. By the time Trump is getting nominated in 2016 Adams is predicting his win and has been an outspoken racist loyalist since then

I think a thing you get exiled to when mainstream media kicks you off their platforms

What do you recommend they add?

I look foreward to not hearing from him ever again.

I would say it is a shame but this guy sucks so much.

That's really sad, I've always enjoyed the dilbert comics

Rare good week for cancer

Well, he's dying like he lived. A piece of shit.

Trying to steal the limelight?

Could he not have done this before "turning" trumpy?
