Ben Sasse is dying of pancreatic cancer
I have to admit, i’m a bit torn on this one. On the one hand, he is one of the few republicans to vote to impeach Trump. And my mother and grandfather both passed from pancreatic cancer, it’s rough.
On the other hand, Sasse tried to eliminate the ACA. Wanted to ban same sex marriage. Not to mention treating UF as his own personal piggybank while he was president.
So I guess on the balance I don’t wish him dead. But I’m not sure i’ll miss him when he goes.
That’s fair. At the risk of sounding cliche, I find myself saying “two things can be true at once” an awful lot these days. That’s not meant to be snarky toward you, @mozchron. Just a general reminder that we don’t have to twist ourselves up in knots if we feel some sympathy for otherwise unsympathetic people.
“Ben Sasse - Not as Bad as he Could Have Been”
I’ll say the same as I’ve said of other high-profile right-wing mortality… I don’t approve of how it happened, but I won’t pretend to be upset that they won’t be doing any more harm, nor getting rich off the harm they’re doing. I’ll never pretend to be sad about that.
He’s decreasing the surplus population.
