lol you'd think with all that money he'd be able to pay someone to relieve all that butt-hurt he's posting all over the internet.
Bernie Sanders \m/

Where's the fracture in that image?
OK I looked up the other article with the source image, and in Martin's version of the image, the resolution of the image is low enough that the fracture cannot be seen. It's a hairline fracture across the end of the radius. I can't see it even in the source image. Why he chose that image is baffling.

Check the emedicine link in that tweet and then check MRI images of that patient (image 13 and 14). The fracture becomes visible. It's pretty much invisible on the x-ray.

GOOD.
This guy deserves people calling him out for his bullshit constantly.

This guy loves it though.

He's the textbook definition of an asshole. He spews shit constantly.

And he loves it when people revel in it. He's doing it for attention and we're giving it to him.

Well, this guy is a troll. He just happens to be a troll with a lot of money.

The top comment of the article makes a great point. I love that he's asking how to deal with it, without going to a hospital. Is it a bit pricey, going there, Martin? Going to the doc an unpleasant experience for your wallet, is it?
He was trolling the Bernie Sanders audience. Said the thing about Sanders making him so mad!!!!!!!1 was clearly a troll, then asked about the fixing a wrist fracture furthered the troll that he was so mad about Sanders, he punched the wall. Even shared a bogus xray of his hand being broken. Then, a later tweet showed him playing guitar, a hobby you obviously use your wrists in extensively.
He trolled the Sanders audience, and they're still biting.
"Trolling" usually involves something other than making yourself look like an ass.
True. All the people believing that he actually broke his wrist in an angry rage over Bernie look pretty assish to me.
Hit me with your best shot arm chair politicos. Downvote me all you want, it's not my fault an idiot trolled you.
He's literally mocking people who can't afford healthcare and calling it "trolling". He's conflating humor with just being human garbage.
Don't really see it, but alright.
Nobody has a right to be upset ever! DO YOU WANT TO BE A VICTIM OF TROOOOOLOLOLOOOOLLING?!

When someone called him out on the guitar thing, he responded saying he was just doing hammerons and pull offs. He posted a picture of the brace on his left hand and someone asked if he was a lefty, he said no. So he was doing hammer ons and pull offs with his picking hand lol.
Actually, maybe you're right. You phrase that in a way that does sound as if his point was just to be an arse, not that it actually happened.
It's in how he wrote it too. The 1 at the end of the exclamations is pretty telling of a deliberate troll. If he truly hurt his hand or wrist in an act of rage fueled by The Bern, he wouldn't have tweeted about it.
