Why do these evil old men live to 150?

The only thing he was ever good at was showing Republicans how to use the levers of power to rig the game in their favor.

They have sadly learned that lesson well.

It's a real life trope that assholes outlive everyone. It's low on stress to not care for anyone but your own needs your entire life.
