Read what Trump said about Joe Biden dying of cancer

Excerpt from a post  by Adam Kinzinger:

Hunter Biden Says His Father’s Cancer Has Gotten Worse

On Friday, in an emotional interview with the BBC, Hunter Biden gave a painful update on his father. Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer last year, and his son says it has gotten worse.

When Biden’s diagnosis was first announced, this is what Donald Trump chose to say about a decent man fighting cancer:

Whatever you think of Joe Biden’s politics, this is a moment for basic human compassion. A family is watching a father and a grandfather suffer. Your politics shouldn’t affect how you feel that news. And Biden himself is a good man, who peacefully transferred power to a president that belittled him and insulted his sons and family countless times during the 2024 election cycle.

I know we don’t expect much from this guy. But for all the young folks watching, when anyone’s father is dying of cancer, there is exactly one decent thing to say. “I’m praying for him and his family.” That’s it.

Guess what Biden said after the assassination attempt on Trump in Pennsylvania?

“I’m grateful to hear he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally as we await further information. Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There is no place for this kind of violence in America.”

It’s a sign of how much Trump has corrupted our politics that just hearing gracious words from a President feels almost foreign. Trump couldn’t manage a statement like that if he tried, because cruelty is his whole brand.

We all have to be better than that, and remember that electing somebody with kindness and human compassion is important too. This is about basic human decency, and it’s part of the job.

Basic human decency; kindness; compassion; these are alien words to the oh-so-religious patriots of the right wing, who proudly broadcast their deep love for Jesus (on Sunday mornings), and the rest of the time, proudly support abject cruelty that would be abhorrent to Jesus. 

Oh, how they strut and laugh at the hardships being thrust upon men, women and children who hurt no one, and whose basic crime was to try to work for a better life.

The religious patriots justify and defend their cruelty because, after all, immigrants don’t have documentation, and they are poor, and probably not white — so piling them into fetid concentration camps, separating them from their children, then sending them impoverished to strange lands is what patriotic Americans do, isn’t it?

Hey, that Alligator Alcatraz — what a hilarious hoot that was, right?

Let us pray that these religious patriots similarly will be deported from heaven in the very unlikely event they manage to sneak in.
