WASHINGTON—Rep. Steve Scalise (R., La.) remained in critical condition on Friday but his prognosis has improved, a hospital official said, two days after a gunman shot the third-ranking House Republican at a baseball practice.
Jack Sava, the director of the surgery team at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, told reporters Friday that Mr. Scalise had been near death after he was shot in the hip Wednesday, as the bullet caused extensive damage and bleeding.
Dr. Sava said that the lawmaker arrived at the hospital unconscious and “in critical condition with an imminent risk of death,” but that his condition has improved significantly in the past 36 hours.
Mr. Scalise has undergone numerous surgeries and is expected to continue recovering, with the length of his hospital stay unknown. “My understanding is that he will be able to walk and hopefully run,” Dr. Sava told reporters in a briefing on Friday afternoon.

Nice to see David Duke without the baggage is still kicking... (It’s a description he gave himself)

So you condone killing people that you think are scumbags?

Well when they stone women to death for trying to learn to read, as a Marine I don’t have a problem with that. I have killed quite a few of those over the years I was over there. I don’t think we should shoot the racist assholes here, but I could care less if they drop dead. I am disappointed every morning and Drumpf hasn’t died in his sleep. Civilians who have never been in the parts of the world where things are ugly should have a higher standard for their leaders. I mean Putin is a monster, I was an intelligence officer so I’ve heard stories, but Trump is an idiot who could do a lot of damage. He and a bunch of geriatrics want to return to the 1950's and are trying to get a health bill that no doubt will take care away from millions, and they are proud of it!

You’re being a bit dramatic. Trump isn’t trying to bring back Jim Crow laws. I’m not a huge Trump fan, but he’s still the president.
They’re still humans. It doesn’t matter what they are, I don’t wish or hope death on anybody unless they really deserve it.

I know, I’m not saying I agree with him politically. I’m just saying he seems like a decent enough guy in general.
Either way, nobody deserves to be shot like that.

If you compare yourself to David duke and think it’s a favorable comparison, you aren’t a decent guy.

You don’t compare yourself to the head of the KKK and be a good guy. He might be a great guy, to white Republicans.

I hope he pulls through. And learns the error of his ways. No one, especially not demographically elected officials, deserve to be (almost) assassinated like that. Even if they’re hateful giant sacks of shit, like this guy.

I imagine that in the trauma center where he was taken he got the same level of care as any other gunshot victim. It’s his care after he is discharged that will be telling. There is a myth going around that Congress gets free medical. They don’t. They pay like the rest of us. It’s just that most of them are millionaire lawyers who can easily afford it.
starting Jan. 1, 2014, House and Senate members, and their staffs, can only obtain employer-subsidized, private coverage through the exchanges established under the ACA. ( source )
Which may explain why so many in Congress are willing to scrap it, since they are being forced to use it.
