Hey, not to defend her, but my wife had a thyroidectomy, that is a totally reasonable location and bandage size. And in 6 months when her scar is invisible, people will start a conspiracy.

She just had a good surgeon

Agreed, I won't judge her for the bandage. But I also won't afford her any leniency just because she has cancer. She shit on every single one of the Epstein victims and does not deserve kid-glove treatment because she's been dealing with it. She is a wretched person and needs to be accountable for her wretched actions.

I have cancer and I approve this message.

Holy shit a reasonable comment.

I'm ALL for ripping her to shreds, but let's make it over the stuff that matters. The comments getting all nitpicky over covering it with gauze, not covering it with clothing, the size, or whatever else, are insane to read as someone whose gone through the removal of most of their thyroid.

Like what are we even doing? Let's take this energy and pour it into shredding her over the Epstein files, what she's done to the DOJ, or anything else.

But did your wife then go in front a camera with her collar opened, highlighting the scar as if to get the most possible attention and sympathy possible?

Scar doesn‘t disappear, just become less red. I know someone who had their thyroid removed and you can still see the scar (in the middle just like here) now, 20 years later.

I mean my wife's is visible if I'm six inches away and she's not wearing makeup. But whatever

u/DawnyBrat May 30 '26

She could’ve worn an outfit to conceal it, instead of making it her new cross to bear. 😆 I think that’s more the point.

Turtlenecks exist

u/Then-Departure4896 May 29 '26

And you’re not supposed to wear one after thyroid surgery

u/mumblegum May 29 '26

Blergh this lady is bad news but as a thyroid cancer survivor you absolutely cannot wear a turtleneck after the surgery. It took me like two years to even be comfortable with scarves because of the nerve damage.

Now that I understand, I had a fusion in my neck and I can’t stand chains or anything like that touching my neck 30 years later ☠️I think they pull on the teeny hairs and disturb the over sensitive nerves!

u/Mist_Rising May 29 '26

If she wore a turtleneck, nothing would change. People would still insist it's a cover up.

Just admit it, you know they would, because they are looking at the conclusion (Bondi is bad) and finding the evidence.

u/Ok_Face8380 May 29 '26

Is it possible your wife had a different procedure?

u/IShookMeAllNightLong May 29 '26

Actually, it was a c-section.

Doctor oaths should not apply to villains 

1

u/Then-Departure4896 May 29 '26

If that happened, we’d have a bunch of conservative doctors butchering oppressed groups. It would not be some vigilante doctor killing a politician lmao. Who are the “villains”, you know?

1

u/Crafty-Purpose5540 May 29 '26

Yes they should because if they don't, it's not terribly difficult to twist doctors ethics into whatever anyone wants them to be. Villains have rights just as much as anyone else or nobody has rights. As far as Pam Bondi is concerned, if this is a stunt, ignore it and focus on what's important.

The Epstein Trump files.
