Obviously you can never really trust the word of a Republican Senator in this day and age, but I actually take him at his word here since it seems to be an issue of judiciary committee pride to not be so blatantly hypocritical when their entire argument for Kavanagh was "this isnt a Presidential election year!" Also, I agree with Plansix. Trump is probably in worse shape than her health wise (despite what his lying doctor says). Honestly im surprised the stress hasn't made him croak already. I guess living in his own fantasy land of alternate facts helps alleviate a lot of stress. | ||

That is not to say that he'll keel over and die any moment, rather that health predictions are tough nuts to crack. | ||

There are plenty of people who discover and die of cancer within a year. There's a good chance being unethically wealthy still helped a lot. | ||

Like way bigger than I remember, he is packing on some serious pounds. This combined with stress it wouldn't be unthinkable. The rich tend to live long, but money didn't save Paul Allen or Steve Jobs so you never know. No worries. He'll have a much stricter diet soon consisting of mostly bread and water.. (if/when karma comes around at least. She's been procrastinating a lot lately) | ||

There's a good chance being unethically wealthy still helped a lot. jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and got really fucking lucky that it turned out to be treatable. but he ignored his doctors and decided to try to cure himself with fruit juice. so the cancer that could have been knocked out with modern medicine grew until it wasn't. he realized that too late, and it was basically palliative care from there on out. sure he got the best palliative care out there, but if he hadn't been a dumbass hippie he likely would still be alive today. | ||

This is the type of ammo Democrats need to impeach. Now they just need some tax crimes and obstruction. https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1060961261800841219 Removal through impeachment is a pipe dream. They need 66 votes in the senate to be successful. This is not the Senate of the 1970s, its just not going to happen. The only hope is that the majority of the public supports impeachment by the time we get to 2020. | ||

That is not to say that he'll keel over and die any moment, rather that health predictions are tough nuts to crack. we know quite a lot about RBG and the life insurance companies probably have a pretty low estimate for her mortality over/under. no point in mystifying such things with obeisant gesturing towards the impossibility of any prediction | ||
