Obit: Oregon Man Put At Peace By Being Told 'Trump Has Been Impeached' Back to article

[maricaibo]

Perfect!

[maximus]

The sane part of the planet will be at peace when Trump is impeached.

And deliriously happy…

[lizzymom]

Amen to that.

There is a great, poignant story in Jane Goodall’s biography about one of the few times she intervened directly in the life of a chimp. Polio was causing great suffering and she chose to stop it.

If I were to die tomorrow…that’s how I would want to leave this earthly abode. Lie to me if it hasn’t happened…yet. I’m OK with that. I’ll probably be delirious anyway…That’ll just be the cherry on top. At least I’ll die with a smile on my face.

I could see this soon becoming a standard boilerplate part of living wills, so thinking people can depart this vale at peace and with dignity.

Deliriously happy? We get Mike Pence as a replacement. That’s not a step up–just a step sideways.

[jootjoint]

Speaking it into existence!

I can deal with that!

Let’s hope Mike today is making a direct appeal for a little divine assistance in making his dying wish come true.

If Trump reads about this, he will call for a criminal investigation.
Of course, there is little chance he would read the story. FOX might cover it though.

”His ex-wife and best friend told him a little white lie.”

She did no such thing!

Corporate media (and even NPR!) have made it clear that people don’t “lie”.

She “misspoke”.

She made a “controversial claim”.

She offered a “competing narrative”.

C’mon TPM, stop being so biased!

[old_curmudgeon]

There is a deep moral and philosophical issue here: When is it OK to lie to a person about to die?

I’d say this was one of those times. Others may disagree.

True, but at least Mikey doesn’t seem quite as anxious to blow things up to distract attention.

OT but not OT.

Yep, now that the Cub’s finally won a World Series, Trump impeachment / conviction now tops the list.

[sysprog]

That would make me ‘go’ easier too!

[centralasiaexpat]

I’m signing up for dementia. Just as good, and I can still enjoy ice cream.

[pshah]

And I can easily see Trump try to deny people death certificates if they dare mock him on their deathbeds.

No matter how petty you try to imagine he can be, you can never go low enough.
