In reply to the discussion: Trump Is Humiliated and More Dangerous Than Ever, William Rivers Pitt [View all]mcar
(42,307 posts)64. I was one of several DUers who tried to help him with the problem he was having
He had no point; he made a choice to relocate to a rural area without first checking on the ACA health coverage options in the new place.
Once there, he discovered that the plans offered didn't cover his wife's expensive medication. So he freaked out and blamed President Obama.
I suggested he contact the pharma company that made the med(s) since most of them have programs for people who can't afford the cost. Within a very short time, he had gotten his wife's meds for free.
The OP was up for weeks, IIRC, and got many hundreds of replies - many from the same purity patrol who had started criticizing PBO within minutes of his 2008 inauguration. He didn't apologize for the OP until much later - and never took it down.

I had an encounter with one such poster Christmas Eve. Having a low post count makes you a target

Anyone who voted for Jill Stein when Trump was a candidate lacks a shred of decency.

I can't miss anyone who called Obama a piece of s* used car salesman. I guess that's just me.

And he's an awful writer too. Unless one likes word-salads... so many words, but not much content.

Awful writer? No, not by a long shot, not according to the reviews of the books he's written.

Well, I guess I just have much higher standards than the reviewers or his fans.

To "contact him" means to do so online, not in person, as if you didn't know what I meant

"Behind his back" the way he called Obama a POS used car salesman and Trojan horse?

Maybe give him a head start to leave the country and try to stay out of prison?

My point exactly. Ignore him. Make him irrelevant with more than just the code.

This is not addressed to the OP, but I thought it was against DU rules to trash another DUer

So if he still has a profile but is flagged for review, people can flail away at him? Pretty low to

I thought he was PPR'd, finally. But apparently he simply refused to sign the TOS.

"EXCERPTS (edited, I shortened the excerpts)" --- Too bad Pitt didn't also self-edit.
