But with edema that pronounced, I’m thinking congestive heart failure. May its work be completed soon…

The one upside to this horrible, god-awful stinking mess is that we have something to look forward to every single day. Every single day. Can’t wait for it to happen.

We’ll have to do our celebrating online. Because you know bereaved Trumpsters are going to go searching for anyone who looks happy that It is dead…

it's a total fubar situation and we're just now a couple days away from being 6 months in

He won’t get as much done, or convince as many bad people to help him do it.

I'm not a doctor or a medical professional, but my uncle passed from CHF & he had many of the same symptoms. As far as I know, there's no cure.

if you aren't a vegetarian, would you rather have a beef burger, or a hot dog? Or something else?

It’s already getting better.
