      I read from someone claiming to be in nursing that it’s likely just bruising because he’s old and has had a cannula/IV so its pretty common. Unfortunately he has great access to health care but he’s a fucking moron who eats mostly fast food so here’s hoping

        Knowing our luck all the preservatives he’s eating from the fast food will make him immortal.

        Well besides healthcare there is also a small bit of reduced stress. He probably praises himself internally.

        “I never had to stress about paying my bills or working manual labor jobs my entire life so I physically age slower than 99% of the population and my back stays unhurt until age of 60.”

      I doubt he’ll have the grace to do it with any speed, but this and the talk about getting into heaven and Vance being ready to take over sure are suggestive.

        Typically, the VP doesn’t publicly talk about taking over for the President unless the possibility is significant, but this administration lacks anything approaching message discipline so who knows.

      Blood thinners and other potential medical conditions + thinning aging skin can lead to easy bruising. Around the hands and bonier areas (joints, shins, areas of less cushion) commonly bruise like this just from bumping into a hard surface.

      I work with a hospice patient with liver cancer. Over the last couple months she’s been developing bruises/purpura all over her body, some on the tops of her thighs just from resting a tray on her lap.

        i was really worried my health was going that direction with the bruising coming out of nowhere, until one night i couldn’t sleep and my cat pounced off the seven foot something bookshelf directly onto my lap (barely missed my jibblies) and then directly to the window. apparently he likes it when i make this sound?

        I got one kind of like that from just a botched blood draw for a physical. Not older or anything and only happened once (and it hurt for a few days), but hasn’t since. It was higher up but I know people that do those from their hands.

      That’s what happens when you’re soul has decayed so far past dead that the necrotic void that has replaced it has expanded to the point of physiological manifestation. Once the saturation hits 100% he’ll collapse into a micro-singularity and near instantaneously evaporate. The resulting radiation burst will be enough to give 1st degree burns to anyone standing within 10 meters.
