    Well according to the obit is it. But of course, the guy's obituary is fake news, right? And since he lived in Oregon, he was probably one of the millions of illegals who voted in the election, since Dump got his butt kicked out here.

    A. You're an idiot.

    B. It's a long running joke at my expense. @doctorquant mocked me for using it. I threw myself on the mercy of the court, explaining that I only use it because I don't know the difference between effect and affect. (Which multiple people tried to explain to me.)

    C. So, now when I point it out, I'm still making fun of me.

    D. As others have pointed out to you, it is primarily a noun, and there are better word choices available, but I honestly don't give a fuck what word you choose to go with.

    Few Trump voters are disappointed. We saw that he was on both sides of all issues.

    We trusted him more than we trusted her. That's the bottom line.

    And, he appointed a judge we support for the SCOTUS.

    And, most of us like his cabinet, and most of his top WH staff.

    Oh no. There's no way that bit was thrown in to the obit without being true.

    I'm sure an obit, written by a friend/ex who was unsure of the year he was born met all journalistic standards.

    But, for those who have not witnessed it, this is not how death occurs. Just isn't. Sorry to spoil it for you.

    And the last thing she said to him was "Donald Trump has been impeached." Upon hearing that he took his final, gentle breath, his earthly work concluded.

    I spent the night at my grandfather's deathbed. He struggled to breathe all night. It was pretty horrific to listen to for hours on end. My mom arrived in the morning. She held his hand and said "It's OK. Go be with mom. We'll be OK." His breathing calmed. Then he flatlined.

    So, yeah, it can happen that way.

    I remember my mom telling me years ago how he was fair and balanced. "He has a No Spin zone!"

    You think your story and the one in the obit sound similar? OK then.

    So what has he done that you're happy about? What are his accomplishments? Kushner and Cohn are taking the reins. Us NYC-area Dems love that.

    I don't know if it's the person's eternal soul fighting to stay around, their brain clinging to life or nothing more than coincidence that they died after hearing a loved one saying something thought to ease their departure from this world.

    I think Trump invented the story about fake Oregon obit story to distract from his God-awful Gallup poll numbers and the fact that he's about to push Bannon out the door.

    Nah. That's another fake story.
