D. Congressman Alcee Hastings Dies At 84
« on: April 06, 2021, 01:11:58 PM »
(D-FL) ... died Tuesday morning following a two-year battle with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

Quote
“For much of the ensuing two years, he continued public appearances between medical treatments, but more recently he hadn’t been in public,” the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported. “In recent days, he had been in hospice care.”

... Left-wing local media called Hastings a “crusading civil rights lawyer.”

Still collected his paycheck, though, I'm sure, the impeached former judge that he was.

Special election to ensue; Republican Governor Ron DeSantis to decide the date.  Hastings was from an overwhelmingly Democrat district, so probably no change there.

Oh goody, something to vandalize and culturally erase coming to a cemetery somewhere...

Yet another fossil dies in office.   

With all the benefits you get as a retired congressman,  why stay in office?   

TERM LIMITS!!!!!!   Not just the one because you die of old age.

I’ve lost the thing in me that believes that we must remain above speaking ill of the dead no matter what. I’m glad when Leftists die. Can no longer pretend otherwise. Hope the flames feel good, Leftist.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

He wasn't much of a human being but perhaps he will serve a useful purpose after all - as worm food.

Worm #1 - Hey, this taste off to you?

Worm #2 - Yeah, it's tainted...just shut up and eat.

It has nothing to do with money or helping the American people, for them it is all about POWER!
