Anyone that old is bound to have one severe health problem or another. At least Biden will continue to have the best care possible and hopefully the pain and discomfort will be manageable until the end. I wish him well.

Don't give up on him yet. His form is treatable.

War criminals are people too.

Fuck you too, Danny boy ....

@Axtremus

Yes, a polite way of saying they will give him morphine, Haldol, and Ativan, as needed, because he will be in hospice care, wherever this takes place and whatever his spokespeople call it.

Hospice nurses are good at their jobs. He probably will not suffer any pain or discomfort.

Sad, you'd hope everyone gets some quality retirement time to reflect.

What's with the war criminal comment?

[Daniel.]

@AndyD You'd hope everybody gets a peaceful death. They don't.

The war crimes of Biden's genocide in Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem, and other places will never be erased from history.

The fact that he is dying makes no difference to me.

@Daniel.
Starting with FDR, which of your Presidents don't meet your criteria?

[AndyD]

P.S. The Gazan terrorists are still holding 58 kidnapped civilians.

[Daniel.]

@AndyD Probably all of them with the possible exception of Kennedy. Good question. I'll have to think about it more.

[Daniel.]

@AndyD Who is your favorite monarch from your history?

[AndyD]

QE2

[Daniel.]

HM is the title holder for longest reigning monarch, no?

What do you think of C III and C so far?

[AndyD]

Thing is they were people of their times. Even Q. Victoria wanted to "teach the Irish a lesson" (a la Cromwell).
How do you judge Henry8 and his quest for a son? or Richards holy wars?

Same with your Presidents. FDR was in charge when we firebombed Japanese cities.

Charles is well intentioned, well read, but the Royals are now a bit of an anachronism.

[Daniel.]

I remember being in high school watching Charles and Diana get married. He kind of strangled his engagement with his famous quote-- "whatever love means."

I paid attention to her and everything she did until she died.

I sat through the five hour funeral. I watched the entire five hours again years later.

For me personally, nobody will ever compare to her.

The Kennedy who escalated your Vietnam war to include chemical weapons used against flora and fauna?

[Piano*Dad]

The Kennedy who green-lighted the Bay of Pigs disaster?

I think you're thinking of Johnson.

[AndyD]

You're right, but...
Reminding myself by reading a bit of the history:

JFK sent thousands of advisors (i.e. Special Ops) to stop the advances of communism.
His fears meant he promoted the R&D of sprayed defoliants, authorising the USAF to use chemical herbicides on Vietnam from January 1962.
His decision caused cancer in 3 million people.

(And it was JFK who set the US on a course of deepening Vietnamese involvement and disaster).
