These fricking fossils need to get the frick out of DC

And yes, I know Trump is 78 years old but when he starts acting like these other fossils who have been in DC for the past 50 fricking years then he can also get the frick out.

Tricky ferreting out associations with those stats. First off, the odds of any 85y/o dying within a year run about 12%. Quite often there is an underlying cause for a fall ... TIA, syncopal episode, cachexia, etc.

Those underlying causes are factors which themselves affect life expectancy.
So stack them atop the base 12%.

Certainly hip surgery plays a role too.
But in and of itself, it is NOT like a death sentence.

From what I've seen of Turtle, I'd give him 3x the 12-month Pelosi crump odds.

I agree. It is the beginning of the end. She may be tough and walk again. But it will be months and months of rehabilitation. Or she will have to use a wheel chair. Either way, she is now in her last term in congress. You know what they say about Father Time.

It's likely to happen to many of us if we get to that age.

When bad stuff happens to evil people it is rarely a net negative for the rest of us. Hopefully the universe gets one notch closer to balance soon.

I hope she retires and has a pain-free recovery. If we are Christians we should not wish death or pain upon her.

Pope John Paul II nearly died following the assassination attemp in 1981. He eventually returned to his outdoor hobbies, skiing and hiking in the Alps. But the event that led to his decline was many years later when he fell and broke his hip. He was never the same.

Christians have a duty to oppose evil. If evil finds its own way out of the world, who are we to be shamed in rejoicing in its removal?

Not true for someone who is pretty ambulatory going into the issue.

My Mom did this in her mid to late 80's and recovered in a few weeks. Of course it also depends on the severity of the fracture. My mom got a bunch of screws put in and good to go a few wks later.

Allow me to pose a conspiracy theory...she ain't coming back. she's following the hollywood idiots to move abroad.

However, its for a different reason......someone will leak her laptop contents. Do it Kash.
