Gosh… so does your party!

(Get well, Mr. Brooks. I wish my political opponents the effective treatment and good health their compatriots would deny the poor.)

“It’s paradoxical, but it may have saved my life,” Brooks said of the primary loss.

And paradoxically, had he won, he would’ve voted with his party to take the lives of millions of Americans.

I’m a cancer survivor.
I hope the surgery turns out well for him.

He’s a partisan prick, but I wish him well with this surgery paid for by the American taxpayers. Mr. Brooks, I hope your recovery time is short and the prognosis good.

Republican Rep. Mo Brooks said Wednesday he has prostate cancer and will undergo surgery this week.

With any luck, it will turn out just to be his head up his ass.

Wasn’t he the Rep…who said that we should deny health care to those who don’t keep in good shape? Good luck buddy…

My grandfather was diagnosed with prostate cancer about fifteen years ago. The doctor said it would kill him inside of ten years. Then the two of them looked at one another and laughed, because at the time, my grandfather was 92. (He died two years later of something completely unrelated, and had no regrets.)

Congressman Brooks, I hope some day you can laugh about this, too.

Me too. I survived prostate cancer, my father and best friend did not, and I hope this guy does well.

I wish him good outcome of his treatment (something he would deny to other Americans) but:
If a primary loss saved his life, should not he consider that retirement from Congress could significantly prolong it?

Yes, he should be saying that god works in mysterious ways. Or is that the FSM? I get them confused.

I’m not sure – I was an atheist until now but I maybe I have to pray to FSM, her signs were unmistakable yesterday.

“God works in mysterious ways. It’s paradoxical, but it may have saved my life,” Brooks said of the primary loss.

The FBI agent who was removed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team in August, Peter Strzok, called President Donald Trump “awful” and an “idiot” during the presidential campaign, according to text messages provided to Congress and obtained by several news outlets.

Apparently God valued the lives of millions of Americans more than he valued his service in the Senate. His loss in the primary was a message from God. Save healthcare!

And still, after many hours of trying, I still cannot bring myself to shed any tears of sympathy for him. Why is that? Is it because I am a despicable, cold-hearted bastard? Or that I am a sentient, empathetic human being who remembers what a disgusting piece of shit this motherfucker is, who would gladly take away health care from children and set fire to Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid if he had the chance?
I report. You decide.
