Vance would be way worse. So would Johnson. They may be somewhat less belligerent and moronic, but each is the epitome of True Evil. The best hope you have is that Vance and Johnson both fall off the edge of this flat Earth, then Trump goes. That way Grassley becomes President. However, as entertaining as that might be it wouldn't last. He's 91. Then it would fall to whoever the Heritage Foundation tells Grassley to name Veep. And Heritage is where all EVIL is hatched. But all that's highly unlikely since the Earth ain't flat.

There are no good choices here. Don't kid yourself.

Sorry to squeeze the jelly from your donut.

A first-term Senator whose Sugar Daddy bought his seat for him, arbitrarily given the VP spot by the Orange Overlord ? I'll bet he's as popular as Turnip's sons, Quday and Usay. Besides he's still wet behind the ears, and always looks really awkward and unprepared whenever he's on camera. I doubt he's any better in person.

I was only a kid (10 years old) but I remember it pretty well. Fourteen years later I took Russian history and relived it all over again.

Other members of the family have had mini strokes. Each stroke takes a little more of their memory and physical abilities.

My grandmother also had the same type of mini strokes. She kept her sense of humor but lost almost everything else eventually.

After I passed 55, it's been a constant battle against hair growing wild damn near everywhere EXCEPT the top of my head. My old man warned me about this.

I wouldn't make fun of any other man who had hair growing out of their ears, but he just begs to be made fun of since he's so vain.

By the way, I'm 76 and female. We have our own hair "problems". I'm fortunate enough to be fair skinned with naturally light hair (which is mostly grey), so any hair I do have on my face is like peach fuzz. None in my ears though.

We've all had snaps where we looked demented or worse. Just what the camera saw at that split second. If it were a momentary droop, caught on camera, no big deal. An old fart who's easily bored anyway. If it's continuous, whole different story. In that case, it looks like he's had a stroke. Painted up to look good but you can't hide the signs of a stroke.

Either way, you're right, he's not well. No one could live his lifestyle and expect to be in anything approaching decent shape at 79. Most would already be dead.
