The real "miracle" would have been believin' science instead of Trump.

1. Boo fucking hoo...

I hope he gets to meet his God...then he can explain to him why he was such a dick all of his life!!!

[MLAA]

5. Exactly!

[Frustratedlady]

2. If his "king" actually cared, he'd arrange for a COVID cocktail to save his butt.

I suppose he only does that for those who are financially generous to him.

[Biophilic]

3. He may need a miracle, but he doesn't deserve one.

I am floored by these people who, suddenly when they or theirs get sick, call out for help and miracles. Before that, they were screw everyone else and no help or even verbal support for earlier Covid victims. Every day I am more and more appalled by the sheer level of selfishness and insensitivity shown by these 'hoaxers'. I personally don't think he should be allowed on a ventilator. Save it for someone who became ill in spite of trying to protect themselves and others.

8. Pray for a miracle,

catch a little Karma.

[Biophilic]

16. Tee hee hee

[mr_lebowski]

4. He'll be fine ... only the good die young (nt)

[oioioi]

6. John 5:8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

Or better yet, give it up for somebody more deserving. Now, *THAT* would be a miracle.

[OAITW r.2.0]

7. There was a political agenda behind covid coverage.

You politicized it by not wearing a mask and doing your job to make it a national bipartisan priority. You reap what you so....happy ventilating.

[malaise]

9. Some one I know says he never wishes anyone dead but he does

check the obit page enthusiastically..

[niyad]

12. Mark Twain is reported as saying that he did not wish people dead, but read some obits with a great

deal,of satisfaction.

That is why I keep a bottle of sparkling wine chilling.

[malaise]

22. My friend is a big fan of Mark Twain

and the wine is chilling

[dalton99a]

10. Pray that more Republicans join him

[Mariana]

11. I wonder if Rep. Byrd expended any prayers last spring

for the tens of thousands of residents of the hard-hit blue states who found themselves on ventilators, or worse. I suspect he didn't spend much time pleading with his god for miracles to save them.

[niyad]

13. May he receive everything he deserves.

[yonder]

14. You had your chance Bub. You did not choose wisely.

If fate shines on you favorably, maybe you should work toward pushing science instead.

[wryter2000]

20. If he recovers

He'll credit God with the recovery and tell everyone they can pray out of the illness. I'm Christian, but I don't feel very Christian where these people are concerned.

[Crunchy Frog]

15. Oh, I'm praying alright.

[Hekate]

17. Unfreakingbelievable

[alwaysinasnit]

18. In the immortal words of Clark Gable, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

[Roland99]

19. What a cryin' shame

June 19, 2020 - TN Rep David Byrd says Covid is sensationalized by the media and Democrats' "political agenda"

Dec 10, 2020 - TN Rep David Byrd flown by helicopter to a hospital, asking for prayers for a miracle and may be on a ventilator soon due to Covd.

Like I keep saying:
A conservative says, "It hasn't happened to me, so I don't care."
A liberal says, "It shouldn't happen to anyone, that's why I care."

[DFW]

21. In that case, there is a "political agenda" behind his seeking medical care for his Covid-19

Taking a page from his own rhetoric, he should forego the care, and only seek medical care for ailments that are not the result of a "political agenda."

I have no place in my heart for politicians who mock people who die because the politicians are scoring political points by mocking the very ailment that later returns to threaten their own lives. When Byrd goes on national television, hooked to an oxygen tank, begging the forgiveness of the people of Tennessee and America, telling them that he and the Republican Party have pulled an unforgivable scam on their constituents, that it caused the deaths of tens of thousands of them, and that he urges people never to give the Republican Party another vote for as long as they live--only THEN could I will take his "remorse" seriously. Until then, I treat this as more theatrics, and I fully realize that some Republicans are so crazy that they would rather die than publicly admit what they have done.

23. Good chance you wouldn't need a miracle if you'd just worn a $4.00 mask, bro.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. What A Coincidence! So Was I!

But, in my case, the miracle involved this idiot dying and making other tools like him come to their senses.
Probably not the same thing, huh?

[Kablooie]

25. Yes. Democrats unleashed Covid 19 to eliminate Republicans!

We told them to protect themselves knowing full well that they would do the opposite, become infected, and die!

Ah ha ha ha ha!

You fell right into our trap!

[Demonaut]

26. I hate to say this but why waste a bed on this cretin

send him home with a tank of hope and prayers
