  1. LETTING PEOPLE SUFFER FROM CANCER TO OWN THE LIBS

    The GOP are fucking cruel pieces of shit.

  2. To be fair it would be spitting in the face of everyone who paid off their cancer debt if cancer were cured.

  3. >However, with the ever-present dysfunction of Congress, maybe predictably, the program has been stalled. Some Republicans, refusing to give Biden a “win,” voted against the renewal of funding.
    Even though this would be a win for all Americans – and humanity – it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country.

    Oh good Lord, America. Do better.

  4. The campaign ad should just sum up the situation and then have a mother of four exhaustedly sigh “Are you as tired of this shit as I am?”

  5. The practice by republicans of leaping into handstands and crapping into their own mouths in response to left-wing silent-butt-deadlies is fundamental to their tactics and very, very effective at drawing together the mindless among us. Let’s hear it for unity.

    > I’m a doctor.So is my mother. When she got cancer, I realized how little that mattered.

    > Republicans have stated budget cuts need to be made with an ever-growing debt. **But where was this attitude when tax cuts for the wealthy were on the table in 2017?** They don’t have to look at patients in the eye and break the devastating news that they have cancer. They don’t have to treat cancers that block intestines or drown a patient’s lungs in fluid.

  7. It’s the legacy of Newt Gingrich, arguably the most destructive politician in the history of the House of Representatives.

  8. A cure for cancer? Naaaa… It’s more important to kick sand in Joe Biden’s eye.

  9. Anther reason to get out and vote, holy fuck this has to be one of the darkest days

  10. Campaign ad material right here. Vote this November.

  11. “Republicans voted against funding a cure for cancer just to block a win for Biden.”

    That’s the correct headline.

  12. We need to stop letting political funding make decisions for us all. #campaignreform

  13. Thanks Republicans- my sister literally died of breast cancer today. 20 years ago I survived stage 3B. I love knowing the political affiliations of my executioner.

  14. How/why in the absolute fuck is this not the headline story on every single news outlet?

  15. This would have been the biggest news of the year not that long ago..

  16. Congress did? Nay, the republicans in Congress did. Steller journalism there, USA Today.

  17. Republicans would ban a cure for cancer just to upset liberals

  18. I’ll say it again. Fuck the GOP, fuck all Republicans, fuck all people that support these evil pieces of shit.
