Poor guy.
Bloody hell!
I think the point of the story is that the sister is loving enough to GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTED/NEEDED. So even though she is not really āpresentā in this post āsheā is the post.
In 2012 I was visiting a friend a few days before she died of lung cancer. While I was there she got a call from her Democratic congressman. (I wonāt give his name but everyone here knows who he is.) They knew each other because she was a very active volunteer in his campaigns. He had just been redistricted into a much more liberal area, one that was more in line with his politics. She spent the 5 minutes of the call telling him what to do: how he should now approach his job, what policies he should pursue, etc. A few months later I talked to him about that conversation and he said that it made an impact on him, that someone who knew she had days to live would spend her time telling him how to preserve her ideals and legacy.
Compare and contrast with this guy. If heās a Trump fan then good for him for talking to his hero. But I doubt anything this man said would ever make an impact on such a narcissistic fool.
Mitchell Tendler began to fade. He had outlived two implantable defibrillators and was on his third. The devices had kept him alive but now posed a problem for the medical imaging he needed in the hospital. Doctors gave him some painkillers, and then he had a final thought.
āIt just was quiet for a little while,ā Walter Tendler recounted, āand then he just sits up in bed halfway and looks at me and he goes, āS***, Iām not going to see the Mueller report, am I?ā And that was really the last coherent thing that he said.ā
good for her/him, why does TPM consider this newsworthy?
Talk about manifesting through Graceā¦Bridgette Hoskie walks the walk.
Thatās my kind of guy.
As to Mr. Barrett, I certainly respect his sisterās working so hard to make this happen. Itās a hollow triumph, though, and all I can hope is that he isnāt wiped out by his medical bills.
I hope he makes it to 2020 but reconsiders voting for a man who wants to make it harder or impossible for people like him to get quality end of life care.
Donāt feel sorry for him, he is going to Deplorable heavenā¦
God ā¦ please grant me the capacity to not waste my last breath ā¦
Save me from a medicated delusion in my end time ----
Please allow me the dignity to pass quickly ā¦
so I donāt make an ass of myself ---- ahhhhhmen ----
Against the Affordable Care Act? Wonder how his medical expenses are being covered?
Because perhaps thereās something there from which to learn. Death donāt have no mercy.
Of all the large, looming catastrophic things I will never forgive donnie for, there is a personal one.
I had a hard time conducting long conversation with my 93-year-old, Republican father during the fall of 2016 because he was supporting trump and I was VERY obsessed with defeating him.
Then in December his health took a huge turn and he died in February, 2017.
I have a lot of regrets for not being as close to my Dad as I wish I had been because of donnieās shit during those last precious months. Still cry over this.
Not what Iād wish for in my final weeks but to be perfectly honest it sounds like what Trump said was about right. Of course he had to say he was a fighter, too, but still.
I would hope that all family differences are put in storage during times like this.
Iād have a hard time, but would probably do so for one of my siblings or parents (a few of whom are diehard herr gropenfuhrer supporters).
However, Iād close out the conversation by taking the phone, going out the room and saying, āThanks for doing this for my family member. It means a lot to them. I, however, know that you are a shallow husk of a human being and a lying sack of excrement. You and your spawn will rot in jail, you traitorous bastards, and I canāt wait to see it happen. Muellerās coming hahahahahahhahahahahha. Have a nice day!ā
Did they put this out because yesterday there was a story on NPR about elderly Americans getting angry when they realize they are going to die before the Mueller report comes out? One guy in the story sat up in his hospital bed, said: Shit Iām not going to get to read the Mueller report and died.
Another who was interviewed was 95 and had just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was maddest about the possibility of missing Trump being brought to justice.
And this sounds like the kind of thing theyād cook up as a counter to that story.
Chickens. Lots and lots of chickens.
