Maybe she got exposed to the supersecret alien zombie flesh eating brain worming rage virus, and they are trying to contain it. But this is just the opening scene in the movie _47 Days, Later!_ Soon, all of America, then all the world, will be affected. Life as we know it will come to a crunchy end.

Or she’s just trying to avoid testifying before congress.

False assumption.

I have had two instances of anaphylaxis, that is, allergic shock, that sent me to the ER. Fortunately, I got there soon enough that it was brought under control without needing to admit me, but they were both truly life-threatening reactions. The fact that I was able to go home within 6 hours of landing in the ER (full of pharmaceuticals) in no way negates the fact that, had those episodes been untreated, I probably would have died.

So, much as I hate and loathe Kristi Noem I would not make the assumption that her reaction was fake based solely on the amount of time she was in the hospital. And I encourage you to not make that assumption based solely on the time stamps on her presence in the hospital.

Other juicy tidbits indicating this was a false alarm are another matter, but I’d prefer cites for them.

I would think any place anywhere near RFK Jr. is a biohazard.

Question:

If she dies, am I supposed to feel badly about it?

In lieu of flowers, I’d prefer to make a donation to the ASCPA.  
Or send a card that said I did to make greedy MAGA goblins gnash their teeth.

I’d want BSL-4 equipment for myself, if I was in the same room with some of these people.

The first report I saw implied that her allergic reaction was to lip fillers. That honestly wouldn’t surprise me.

Not whatsoever.

If she dies, will Kennedy be charged?

Brain worms, raw milk, swimming in sewage, etc–I’m thinking RFK, Jr could be like a real-life [Montgomery Burns from _The Simpsons_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Burns#:~:text=Burns%20has%20contracted%20every%20known,a%20slight%20breeze%22%20could%20upset):

> …doctors at the [Mayo Clinic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayo_Clinic) discover that Mr. Burns has contracted every known human disease, as well as several that were discovered during his checkup, but that they have canceled each other out in a condition they call “[Three Stooges](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Stooges) syndrome;” although a doctor warns him that his physical health is extremely fragile and that “even a slight breeze” could upset the balance between his diseases, Mr. Burns misinterprets his condition to believe that he is invincible.

A copy of her 2022 autobiography found its way today into the library where I volunteer. I was tempted to put it in the fiction section, but I put it in the biography/history section anyway.

I don’t celebrate any person’s death.

But some, I grieve a lot less than others.

(Oh, and I think you meant to say “feel bad”. If you “feel badly”, then that might be a symptom of leprosy.)

Hurting / killing an animal for no good reason makes one irredeemable, imo. Top it off with all her other evil deeds and . . .well, I’m not allowed to say here.

Exactly. You can spit on her grave IRL ( if you choose ) but don’t tell us about it.
