Heart failure, they say, connected with pneumonia.

They say\*, _“If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all”_, So I guess all I have to say is “nothing at all” \* BTW: It looks like this originated with Thumper in the move Bambi. ETA: Also, I’m not trying to shame anyone into not saying bad things, I was just making a silly joke. ---

The sooner he’s dead, the cheaper for the taxpayers. And the dead can’t be pardoned by the current criminal regime. I’m rooting for dead. ASAP; better yet, already. > [@What\_Exit](#): > > They say\*, _“If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all”_, > So I guess all I have to say is “nothing at all” ISTM the subject needs to have a minimum level of human decency to qualify for inclusion in that otherwise fine rule made for civilized people. IMO there’s a long list of names in the news that flunk out the bottom of qualifying for the rule. Weinstein among them. ---

Does he once again also have a life-threatening infection in the skin of his perineum? He did, some years back (Fournier’s gangrene; don’t Google-image that if you’re squeamish) and lost some body parts as a result.
