        He was 94.

        I don’t believe in conspiracy theories, but with the way right wing loves to talk about vampires & adrenochrome, could be more projection. /joking, of course

        Yeah, but this time his health has taken a nose dive. He is more incoherent than ever. Unfortunately, as is plain as day, people are taking advantage of.

          I remember a few years back the media was saying that Vladimir Putin was on his last days, not long after the Ukraine attacks started. I read it again the other day. I know they are all getting up there in years, but it’s getting harder to tell what’s credible and what’s just wishful thinking.

            If I remember right, it was a cancer rumor with a cancer specialist going e erywhere with him, and there is also a scar on his neck that corroborates that I believe. I dont think it was wishful thinking, just reporting a possibility (from the reporting at least - random people on the internet, different story).

            The more recent one I think is just a comment from Zelensky, so anything there would be wishful thinking as of now, I agree. I’m sure he has intel showing that to be the case, but how accurate it is? I don’t know.

            In the case of Trump, I think there is visible decline, but - and this is my opinion only - its clearly cognitive, which doesn’t mean he won’t survive for a long time. Even as basically a vegetable he could serve his purpose to the right wing.

                Debatable, it might just end up with AI generated Trump-face and a whole lot of pretending he’s still functional while they continue to destroy the country.

                Though yeah, he’d be a better president and human being. Just not sure it would have any positive impact on the rest of us.

            Maybe you’re right. I just predicted he wouldn’t live through next year, maybe not this year. But is it just my hopefulness?
