Could be onset of cardiomyopathy and related respiratory failure. Trust me, the end is always predictable.

He's still in better shape than Richard Adan. Annoying pustule of man.

You mean the guy that said we needed to invade Iraq because we white people needed to kill the brown people in order to feel superior? That guy? You’ll forgive me if I don’t send flowers.

“I hope he gets better and changes his ways.”

Thank you. Of all the comments and options, yours is

Yours is a good example.
