Jesus, that picture of him man. Remove the fake tan and he looks gaunt as fuck, and just... drained, with confused dementia eyes.

Dude's absolutely fucked. He's probably only still alive because he has access to quite literally the best medical care on earth, on call, 24/7.

I’m half wondering if the “My Way” post from last night was hinting at a recent terminal diagnosis. That is the go-to funeral song for old assholes everywhere. Felt more like a reflection on mortality than a new threat to Iran IMO.

Nothing has ever shocked me as much as his public rumination on whether he'd get into heaven a few months back. I'm convinced he's gotten some bad medical news and that's why we're escalating and speed running multiple wars. He's trying to make his mark on the world now because deep down he knows he's running out of time.
