A little close to home, Barry. I caught cancer when Trump was inaugurated. Then I read this:
"You feared the cancer was hiding somewhere inside you, hiding, though, or that it had already spread through your body and nobody was picking up on the enormity of it.
More scans, biopsies, blood work were ordered.... Another round of tests.... What did it say?” you asked of the results....“Come see me. We’ll talk.”.....“Is it time to panic?”
This is me. Tomorrow. The cancer is back. Literally. I found out 4 days after returning from vacation. Among other things I really need a Kamala win.
Holy fuck am I sorry for dancing with these ghosts in front of you. But for you mostly. One more reason — the best reason — for Harris to win. All strength to you.
Jesus, Adonai, and Buddha!
Will no one rid us of this pesky Electoral College?
I remain nauseously optimistic. :/
The trick with doing a biopsy on Trump would be finding the part of him that isn't cancerous.
I can't say I "like".this, Barry. I hope and believe Kamala will beat him, but I'll be holding my breath (virtually, anyway) till then.
Damn, man.
Seriously, I'm ready to show them on the doll where trump hurt me.
I am now well into the non-sleeping portion of this exercise.
Damn! I was hoping for

I have no words to heal your unfair circumstance but know this person who often reads and enjoys your comments, cares. ❤️ Sending positive vibes.
Keeping all good thoughts for you, Scott. <3
Here's to all your good, friend.
Well...shit. Best positive vibes for a fellow survivor.
Not a subscriber. New to Substack. But I've been reading Charlie Pierce for years, so I'm familiar with you. And I wish you all the best.
Brilliant.
Perfect analogy, Barry. Best stuff you've written in a while.
Somebody wake me, Ba.
Oh yeah: cancer is the c-word...
