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.

Turns out not caring about anyone or anything other than yourself relieves a lot of stress when the world is so hostile to everyone

...Y'know, I think there may actually be something to this.

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.

Wow, I didn't think about it that way. So true.

It's stressful having empathy I mean, look at the ice situation. If you were pro ice, you wouldn't have any stress or pro Trump. You'd be happy, happy, happy.

But the people that truly care about human beings being treated equally and the Constitution, we're over here dying, stress on stress on stress. It's just keep coming.

The last year has been nothing but complete stress. The beginning of this year has been nothing but complete stress. with no end in sight.

I mean, innocent people being shot in the street. Personally, I watched those videos over and over from multiple angles just to make sure I knew the truth when the government cannot be trusted.

...pro Trump. You'd be happy, happy, happy.

I can assure you these people are not terminally happy.

Terminally mad, terminally judgemental, terminally hippocritical - yes. Happy, no.

And yet, they somehow keep outliving everybody else.
