    Some of the least worst (still bad war criminal) presidents were half dead while they did their job JFK, FDR, Grant etc

    Lenin and Andropov were chronically unwell, that sucks and history is poorer for their early deaths, but they were still good choices.

      You know, I don’t really get what you’re saying. I’m kinda lost. But at the same time, I agree. Fucking power to you, homie. ✊🏼🫡

        I’m saying all US presidents are awful. But some of better ones were pretty sick all the time FDR had a paralytic illness (polio or guillain-barre) and cardiac stuff, Grant had various complications of alcoholic liver disease and died out of office of throat cancer (probably related to his alcoholism), JFK had Addison diseases and his spine was Swiss cheese with fractures as a result.

        Lenin was Lenin, and he had a bunch of complications post being shot that led to his premature death. Andropov was less shit than Gorbachev and the fall of the USSR might have been different or softened by him at the helm but he died of kidney disease.

        Like this is ableist shit, the best leader isn’t the healthiest as long as the succession is safe if they croak.

          Ahhh I get you. Sorry if I came off as snarky or rude, I’ve just been in a really jovial ‘I-don’t-give-a-fuck’ attitude tonight. Again, sorry.

          But answer me this: are you implying that Kamala will be absolutely awful because of this ‘fitness’ report?

          Because I do agree, she’ll be awful lmfao

            I don’t think it’s exactly what he’s getting at. He’s mostly saying that even though someone can be ill, it doesn’t make them incapable of leading a country.

              Either way, I agree. I just think this media posturing of “KillEmAla is actually REALLY healthy” is a bit… desperate, ya know?
