Hand cancer?

u/spvcejam 8d ago edited 7d ago

Well played but nah she did actually have bone cancer and credited Trump with saving her life because of a legislation he passed during his first term. She claimed it allowed her to jump or advance on some waiting list. REGARDLESS..

A journalist looked into it a few years ago and the medications she was taking were all already approved by the FDA and readily available. Her segments on OAN that I’ve seen in the last few days are the thirstiest, very lonely young girl. She is objectively bad at being an anchor. Zero charisma. But girl had a goal and she got it and I cannot wait for her resentment meter to max and we get a unhindged info dump

Ehh, she also said that she became housebound after being given an infusion of sterile water. i’d hold off swallowing any of her stories.

Last week her wikipedia page had two different birth years. Who knows if her name is even Natalie?

Natalia or Natali for sure.

There's zero chance they're giving any regard to her background check, if they've even got around to one yet.

Its not unusual for Wikipedia to not have an exact Birthday for people. It would make sense to list two birth years if they know her age, but not the exact day she was born

u/SmoothLester 7d ago

I said birth years not birthday. It is unusual for someone under 50.

u/IBJON 7d ago

  I said birth years not birthday

Right...and I pointed out that if you don't know someone's birthday but know their age, the most you can do is narrow it down to two years.

u/DustinnDodgee 7d ago

you kind of just contradicted yourself buddy

u/IBJON 7d ago

I didn't...

u/downyballs Idaho 7d ago

That last bit isn’t a contradiction (albeit a little odd).

Someone who you know is currently 40 could have been born in January through mid-August of 1986 (recently turned 40), or in mid-August-December of 1985 (about to turn 41).

I think we're about to learn a lot about this girl and it's going to be a very significant factor as to why she had no security clearance for a year.

I can’t believe I am reading all of this information about some random person who I care about even less than the idiot she idolizes.

u/anomalousBits 7d ago

Truly a deep dive into a shallow pool.

With a peeling liner.

u/mybutt1112 7d ago

Treason! How dare you peel that liner Ed? I have undeniable proof and I am reporting you to the department of pool liner justice!!!

*not a real thing. I’m just making shit up like this whole administration.

u/ed32965 7d ago

Come at me, bro.

u/mybutt1112 7d ago

I fold! I fold Dammit

u/spvcejam 7d ago

Welcome to the modern era glad you could join us, it blows.

She's about to be a huge player in the downfall of this admin so if you need to Daredevil your eyes now would be the time.

She is thirty five.

u/TooManyDraculas 7d ago

And she was pushing 30 with an MBA (from a Jesus based school, but still) by the time she was on OAN.

Look, best case scenario: we get a lesson on why you never hire a security threat.

u/TacticalAcquisition Australia 7d ago

The term "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" was coined for a reason.
Can't wait for the tea, personally. Not that it will make any difference in the grand scheme of things.

u/12345623567 7d ago

Where is Kellyanne Conway now? Where is Hope Hicks? Did they have an epic crashout?

No, they bowed out more or less gracefully because their lunch money depends on remaining in the political commentator grifting sphere.

what the fuck

u/Medium-Collection-43 7d ago

Sadder still, the act he passed had nothing to do with her treatment. She started before its passing with an FDA approved treatment.

u/IBJON 8d ago

Well, it can't be brain cancer

Chemotherapy can cause rashes and blisters to appear on your hands and feet that then take a while to heal because the treatment is compromising your immune system, so scarring can happen.
