while cutting tree limbs yesterday

https://floridapolitics.com/archives/582210-greg-steube-hospitalized-after-high-fall-at-his-home/

He fell about 25 feet before being transported to a Sarasota hospital.
U.S. Rep. Greg Steube was hospitalized after a fall from the roof of his home.

The incident was first reported by Florida Politics’ Peter Schorsch and then later confirmed by Steube’s congressional office.
———-
If he survives, he will have a lot of time to think about his support for the Domestic Terrorist in Chief.

Michael Moore sure was prescient

[niyad]

1. May he receive everything he deserves.

2. What was the prognosis of the veterinarian?

Why didn't the Good Lord catch him?

[malaise]

7. Tut tut this was divine intervention

A huge limb hit the ladder and threw him off - gawd was testing Slobby’s comments about his strength.
Remember now Slobby Trump praised the 'physically strong' Steube in endorsing Sarasota congressman

[Sky Jewels]

19. The vet says he's overdue for neutering. Snip snip.

Also, Sky Daddy had his hands full with Woke M&Ms, so he couldn't do shit.

[mountain grammy]

29. That's funny..

[Hermit-The-Prog]

5. I'd'a just left him lay where JEEZUS flang 'im!

Them people just meddled with the work of the LORD!

[malaise]

10. Someone found him

This could be even worse depending on how long he was on the ground before being found.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. He's fine. ReTHUDs don't have spines.

[Nevilledog]

35. And shit bounces.

[haele]

56. He was apparently found by a part-time aide to Congressman Vern Bucannan

Who was also working as an Amazon Delivery driver.

Haele

[Cha]

65. I read yesterday he was found

by an amazon delivery guy.

TY for posting this.. I didn't know he fell off a 25 ft ladder trimming trees.

Does anyone know how serious it is? I haven't gone to the link.

[Fullduplexxx]

6. He didn't mind the socialism that transported him to the hospital

He should have been left there to his bootstraps .

[malaise]

8. Great point

And of course (as another DUer pointed out last night) his governor sent the migrants to Martha’s Vineyard or he would not have had to cut his trees.

[CurtEastPoint]

9. what is it with FL congress-douches and their giant heads? If he landed on it, he'd be OK

[Floyd R. Turbo]

20. That jacket!

[CurtEastPoint]

21. a la Ward Cleaver

[msfiddlestix]

26. Wasn't plaid jackets seen on tv, worn by certain types of characters?

I don't remember seeing Ward Cleaver wearing plaid, could be I hadn't paid any notice.

but I feel like I remember seeing on tv plaid worn by a number of actors in certain roles.

I think the combination of plaid and that mustache with a goofy smile, reminds me of clownish characters on tv back then.

[CurtEastPoint]

30. Let me find Ozzy Nelson!

?h=1000

[msfiddlestix]

45. gingham tweed or wool, popular in the late 40's through the 50's and early 60's

[malaise]

42. He seems to love them

[Hassin Bin Sober]

38. I was kinda hoping for staph. But he looks like staph personified.

[treestar]

55. And they gave Obama crap about a tan suit.

What the heck is that suit?

[LiberalFighter]

11. Not far enough

[eppur_se_muova]

13. Can we start a GoFundMe page for a taller ladder ? nt

[gab13by13]

14. Will McCarthy allow him to vote remotely?

[CatWoman]

37. ....

Link to tweet

[asiliveandbreathe]

15. WTH..was he on some kinda day off?? Shouldn't he have been

stalking the halls of congress..voting to OWN THE LIBS???..One less vote for kevman. for now.??

[malaise]

17. Didn't they go on break for the week?

Sure I heard that somewhere

[asiliveandbreathe]

23. Ah, house calendar, light grey..district work period...6 days in January..

[onethatcares]

48. they could have him

Read the constitution every morning like they said they would do.

[malaise]

49. Not sure he can read anything right now

Word is very serious injuries which we would expect from a 25ft fall after teh linb he was cutting hit him off the ladder.
That takes a special kind of stupid.

[albacore]

16. There is about a Brazillion Youtube videos of dumbshits like him cutting trees and getting creamed.

I hope somebody got a video.

[TheBlackAdder]

53. Same here. We all know it was something stupid.

[Sky Jewels]

18. If he lives, the massive blow to his head might make him a tad smarter

because there's no way he could get any more stooopid.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

22. Gravity is a bitch!

[Sky Jewels]

24. Gravity is created by a lib-Jew-Antifa-groomer conspiracy to hurt Godly Real Americans!

[malaise]

25. Yah think

[MissMillie]

27. Not going to wish anything bad for him on this

Can't do it.


My sister fell 12 feet off of a ladder, compound fracture in the leg and shattered her ankle. Multiple surgeries and a stubborn bone infection. Her veteran's health insurance didn't want to pay to put her ankle back together again. She had to fight all kinds of battles: physical and administrative.

She didn't walk for 14 months.

I won't wish that stuff on ANYONE.

I'm well aware that the GOPers are often the reason why our veterans (and a lot of other people) don't get the care they need. I'm still not going to delight in this misfortune. I hope he gets what he needs and heals quickly. (And then of course, I hope he has a revelation and changes his tune on some things.)

[malaise]

28. I don't wish anything on him

He already fell and unlike Paul Pelosi, he did this all on his own.
I have not one iota of sympathy for folks who dtoke the fires of hatred and promote violence against others.

[niyad]

32. Several questions, having read the whole article. He was found by a staffer

of another puke congress member, who was "doing part-time delivery work in the area." How much do staffers get paid? Second, falling from 25 feet while cutting tree limbs?? Here, any work higher than 20 feet on trees requires calling an arborist, or one can be fined. Thurd, where in the hell was his spotter?

[malaise]

43. Indon't even pick fruit without assistance and I use a stick with a basket

Too cheap

[treestar]

57. What is that 20 foot rule but librul limit on freedom?

[niyad]

63. True, except for government here in fundieville is very red.

[Tickle]

34. Here's an update

Florida Rep. Greg Steube suffered “several serious injuries” and spent the night in the ICU after falling about 25 feet at his home, an update on his condition released Thursday said. The Republican lawmaker was knocked off a ladder “while cutting tree limbs on his Sarasota property” on Wednesday afternoon, according to a thread published on his Twitter account. “The Congressman spent the night in the ICU where several serious injuries are still under assessment but not life threatening at this time,” the update early Thursday said. “He is making progress and in good spirits.” The messages also thanked the medical staff who are treating Steube, “the individual who witnessed the fall and immediately called 911,” and “members of the media who waited patiently to accurately report the incident before releasing falsities to the public.”

[hatrack]

36. How can you be "in good spirits" in the ICU? How would anyone know?

[Tickle]

40. LOL I don't know but you made me laugh LOL NT

[Bantamfancier]

67. Well, if you're in the ICU,

they do break out the really good drugs.

[malaise]

44. I doubt that he spoke with anyone

The 15 tries Speaker must have spoken with the wife

[Cha]

66. How does one get "knocked off a ladder"..?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

39. No more proxy votes, eh?

[malaise]

64. Apparently 15 tries to become Speaker Kevin just realized the meaning of

that no proxy vote😀😀

[Arthur_Frain]

41. Don't tease me

nt

[llmart]

46. Just one more example of...

FLOR-EE-DUH man in action.

Was he sitting on the limb he was cutting? I seem to remember that trick from a Road Runner cartoon or was it Daffy Duck?

[malaise]

47. I read that the limb hit the ladder and floored him

Who the hell trims trees without someone else spotting

[llmart]

60. I know that's a rhetorical question.

[kairos12]

50. No ambulance. Let his fellow MAGA types bootstrap his sorry ass to

a private clinic in a handmade wheelbarrow.

Also, he pays cash up front.

Can't have debt you know.

[malaise]

51. Doesn't he get free health care for life

while campaigning against health care for everyone else?

[Vinca]

54. What was he doing - installing another Trump flag on his roof???

[jeffreyi]

58. Ow. That'll do it.

Ladders are dangerous, peeps. Especially for us seniors.

[Bettie]

59. It is hard for me to muster up sympathy

for him.
