Fox news host on possible deaths due to Trumpcare: ''We're all going to die anyway''

At least, that’s the rationale employed in an argument on Fox News on Wednesday. After airing statements from Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, both warning the passage of the divisive bill could result in thousands of deaths across the nation, the far-right network’s Lisa Kennedy Montgomery countered the left with her own attention-grabbing one-liner.

“You know what the crazy thing is?” Montgomery said to her fellow hosts, chuckling after each soundbite from the Democrats. “We’re all gonna die. And they can’t predict—there, there’s no way, unless they’re absolutely psychic and have a party line to heaven, they don’t know who is going to die, or when, or how many people!”

Its so fascinating and yet terrifying to see all these pundits and politicians try to spin why their viewer/voting base should be glad that they are going to suffer with this new health bill.

So if everything is pointless, is this host give up all of her money and all of her worldly possessions?

Of course she won't.

Yup. As Hitchens put it:

"Because another immoral and sinister thing about religion is that lurking under it at all times in every one of its versions is a desire for this life to come to an end, for this poor world to be over. The yearning, the secret death wish that's in all of it, let this be gone, let us move to the next stage, is present at all times."

I hope Trump was watching when they said that because that's the perfect tagline.

Trumpcare: We're All Gonna Die

It's impossible to predict if people will die.

I mean, we're just taking away that medicine you need to live, and cutting you off from needed medical services and prevention you can no longer afford. But hey, we're not God you know. Who's to say what will happen to you. Maybe you'll follow in the footsteps of Noah and live to 700?

The funny thing is, the world would be a better place if all these republican fuckers and their supporters were dead.

At least it's an explanation Trump supporters can accept. And as long as immigrants and Muslims are getting it worse, that probably makes it worth it. Republican hate is an amazing thing.

Why deal with climate, we're all gonna die.

Why deal with homelessness, we will all die and be out of homes when we're dead anyway.

Why deal with wars, the bombs blow up inside of us.

It's amazing that a channel like Fox News exists in a first world nation

Do those even exist in third world countries?

I'd assume propaganda channels in failed states and dictatures are being like "We got the greatest, free healthcare ever and the great leader makes sure each and everyone is healthy and prospers! If anybody does not agree please kindly inform the authorities."

Fox News is basically: "We all die and suffer so everyone deserves to die and suffer, especially liberals and non-whites! Our great leader cares only about himself and shits on you and we're glad you even ask for more!"

Yep. I remember my parents were watching Fox and I saw her on there and thought wtf lol. I wonder at what point did she go fully insane. One thing to take into account here (not defending her), is that she's kind of a "comedian". By "kind of" I mean she thinks she's being funny here but she's not funny and is just echoing a sentiment that I'm sure dumbasses really believe in/agree with. She probably believes it too deep down.

Sometimes - and I always feel guilty for the thought - I wish they'd just Jim Jones themselves and let rest of us actually get on with sensibly living out our lives.

It's an ugly thought but my patience really gets worn out by this kind of inane insanity.

The underlying double standard - she's sure not going to refuse medical treatment if needed - also boils my blood.
