Oh no! My tea is cooling off.
Temple University professor Marc Lamont Hill tweeted: "Diamond - of the right-wing, Trump-loving duo Diamond and Silk - has died. In late November, she was hospitalized due to COVID-19. The duo was fired by Fox News a couple of years ago for spreading misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines. You cannot script this stuff." >

It sounds weird, but they actually trademarked the name Diamond and Silk® together as a single pair, which is neither of their actual names (Ineitha Lynnette Hardaway and Herneitha Rochelle Hardaway) >

I get it's the name of their business venture at this point but it just feels very on par with Herman Cain's Twitter continuing to tweet Covid disinformation after his death. >

That account is run by a troll farm based out of Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan >

Is Herman Cain dead? Nein Nein Nein! >

*nyet nyet nyet >

*hyuk hyuk hyuk >

They didn't announce the cause of death so it's probably Covid. >

It's definitely covid.  She was hospitalized for it in November. >


It's definitely covid.  She was hospitalized for it in November.

If she died from pneumonia (caused by Covid), "Silk" will claim it was pneumonia. Same for a heart attack or organ failure caused by Covid. Whatever the last failure before death was, that is what they will claim as the cause of death. >

Yeah people don’t die from car crashes they die from injuries caused by the crash, right >

This takes me back to the Delta wave, when COVID was mowing down right wing talk radio hosts left and right. None of them were vaccinated and had spent the previous year and a half ranting about vaccines conspiracy theories and saying COVID was just a cold, no reason to shut down the economy. >

All the while Tucker Carlson and all the highly paid right wing news caster were safely vaccinated working from home telling all their viewers they should be out working in person. >

Tucker Carlson wasn't just working from home, he was working from a studio he in his vacation home in Maine. He fucked off all the way to the middle of nowhere to get away from Corona. >

Did the leopards get her? >

Just her face >

20%. 
We still have Silk, Clarence Thomas, the black guy at every Trump rally holding the "Blacks for Trump" sign, and perhaps Kanye West. >

Also Candace Owens, ~~Hootie, probably,~~ and Stacey Dash. Do we know where Ben Carson landed on all  of this?
Edit: I thought I remembered articles about Hootie (Darius) playing golf with and hanging out with Trump but I can't find anything saying that now. It looks like he just says he's "not into politics" >

Hold the f**k up!  Hootie from Hootie and the Blowfish is a Trump supporter? >

you've heard his music haven't you? >

Covid deniers who spread misinformation and flat out lies dying of covid. Hello schadenfreude, my old friend. >

She helped kill people with her covid misinformation. >

I still feel bad for her because she too was duped. It's fucking nuts how many people got roped into this nonsense. >

You say duped like vaccine misinformation was even remotely believable. >

And like accurate information wasn’t readily available from literally any real medical professional >

They are fund raising off her death on their website. Of course. >

Privacy and donations please >

This is sad because she probably refused to take the vaccine yet she was part of a vulnerable group (Over 50, overweight and Black).
EDIT: Link to study highlighting those most affected by covid >

and the libs remain owned.
you gotta respect the commitment >

Pretty gross for Trump to frame her death in terms of it being bad for Republicans. >

In-character though >

Most of the Covid patients in the hospital are vaccinated these days. >

If you are somebody who understands how math and statistics works, yes.  Last I checked, 80% of the US is vaccinated.  Due to that sheer amount of people, there are likely going to be more Covid-related deaths in that group in total.  The way you have to look at statistics is through percentages or per capita. The percentage of vaccinated people who die of Covid is way lower than the percentage of unvaccinated people who die of Covid.  Too many people look at statistics just based on total numbers.  Which while being a relevant stat, doesn’t tell you the whole story. >

Your using an accusation of the base rate fallacy to pretend that vaccine efficacy hasn't diminished. 
Basically 
"If a fallacy is used in service of a claim, the claim is wrong" 
Never mind that I'm literally right, the vaccinated do outnumber the unvaccinated in hospitals. They do outnumber the unvaccinated dead (last year). I was right
Never mind I never said "X then Y" re: vaccine efficacy.
I was defending someone who made a correct statement that was accused of lying.
Take the fucking L and admit you were wrong to call that guy a liar instead of moving the goal posts.
EDIT: Profiles in courage responding then blocking, amirite? >

Dude, keep living in your fantasy land.  Your total numbers mean little.  It all comes down to percentages of the totals.  That’s how statistics work.  Your argument is literally, “These numbers are bigger!”  Vaccine efficacy does nothing to diminish the point I made.  My point will be true in pretty much every statistical breakdown.  At the end of the day, being vaccinated is better than not being vaccinated. >

Buried the lede- she was a COVID denier and died of COVID. >

COVID thanks you for cooperation. >

When someone mentioned this to me yesterday I thought she was either a stripper or part of some WWE tag team duo. >

Why not both? >

Vaccine conspiracy theorists in shambles. Actually nah, they’ll just move on to the next >

"Anyone who believes in the power of prayer please pray for Diamond," it said.
And how did that go for her? >

I guess diamonds aren't forever 🤷 >


It asked that any donations be made to a memorial fundraiser page at a crowdfunding website.

"In lieu of flowers, please send me money" >

Someone has to pay Trumps wife for the blowjobs >

I forgot this duo existed.  Being reminded of them is uncomfortable and I wish I hadn't seen this but I rest easy knowing that by tomorrow I will likely have forgotten again. >

Guess she up with the big man in the sky Herman Cain having a slice of pizza right about now >

She's also tweeting from beyond the veil? >

..reasonable assumption it was covid related.. probably never got vaccinated.. or maybe downed too many shots of Clorox at the advice of her beloved President >

Well I had completely forgotten about them and I was completely fine with that.
Was she the one who actually said stuff or the one who just nodded and went "That's right"? >

I think she played the Teller part >

I wonder if she changed her mind about vaccines, as she lay dying. >

GOD DAMN DO I FEEL OWNED!!!!
Way to go Diamond! >

Not trying to be mean, but neither look like they are in great shape. >

It's really weird to see reddit celebrating that a middle aged black lady died of stroke/heart attack/diabetes complications. >

Not very “liberal” if you ask me. >

Idiot dies of largely avoidable cause that Idiot made money denying.  What a tragedy. >

"...and nothing of value was lost, and the world became just slightly a better place." >

Don’t forget to add “-of COVID” >

What an accomplished life that the headline of your death has to mention you political followings >

I mean, I know she said she didn't want to live in a world where trump wasn't president, but DAMN!
...dedicated >

"Entertainer" is being pretty generous. >

Entertaining simpletons isn’t difficult >

She wasn’t entertaining. 
RIP though. 
Covid-19 vaccines and boosters are available. >

I have a bit that I do whenever a prominent antivaxxer dies of coronavirus, and this was a retirement-level event. >

That’s so sad. Anyway, I’m thinking of ham and Swiss on rye for lunch. Anybody want some? >

Mustard with no pickles on mine. >

Coming right up. Just so you know, I put Duke’s on all my sandwiches. >

Damn, 51??? Shit. 
I'm assuming Trump is footing the bill for the funeral? >

Idiot dies of largely avoidable cause that Idiot made money denying.  What a tragedy. >

imagine dying and believing in trump. self stupidification. its so sad. >

"From COVID" , I feel like that should be in these headlines >

As someone who's vaguely familiar with the music duo Silk Sonic, this story had me greatly confused for a bit. >

I wasn't even mad at that pair. They were transparently grifting MAGA losers. More power to them. The one left, anyway. >

Oh well. Shame she made her legacy sucking the tail pipe of racist scum.
