    Boy, I really don’t want to be disrespectful, but did I nail it or what?

    So, I’m not a doctor, but it sounds like he’s showing early symptoms, he only has a 15% or living more than 5 years, and he’s more likely than not to die within the next year…I’m not trying to be cruel to the guy; cancer sucks and it’s awful he’s going through this. But given how narrow the Republican lead is in the House, it’s irresponsible to have him just stay in Congress at all, since he might miss crucial votes.

      Once again, we’re proven right. We’ve been banned, downvoted, censored, but proven right. I think Cassandra syndrome is a good term for our kind.

      We were right. Called morons for seeing the truth. It happens. Now if we go “Hey I was right” we’re somehow rude or broken clocks.

        Yeah, but if Vegas ever starts taking odds on when these ghouls are gonna drop dead, or which ones are going to sell us out to the crypto industry, I’m gonna make a killing.

      That’s the name of the game with boomers. Gotta keep yourself going until you die in office so conservatives can have another win and erase anything you may have accomplished.

      Why yes, I am still mad about RBG, why do you ask?

        Agreed, bur let’s forget about her, and Dianne Feinstein, and Biden. Let’s ignore everything that happened before the inauguration and pretend we’re starting with a fresh slate. He’s the third House Democrat to drop dead since January. In five months, three Democrats have been assassinated by time.
