    The man died comfortable, surrounded by wealth and loved ones, never once having to answer for his crimes. That’s not karma.

      We don’t know for sure. Maybe he was in terrible pain, briefly. Let’s just keep that possibility to make us feel better.

      Were you there? How would you possibly know how comfortable he was?

        He wasn’t jailed. He wasn’t abroad. He wasn’t captive. He wasn’t injured. He was as comfortable as anyone else old and dying could hope to be. He was surely more comfortable than countless others he negatively affected throughout his life.

        I don’t like it either, but sometimes good things do happen to bad people. Sometimes bad guys get away with being bad guys and end up dying about the same as anyone else because karma isn’t real.

          I agree with the way you put it here. I do think it’s possible he suffered a bit though.

        It was a very short illness. There is no way to pack that much suffering into that short a time. Suffering even moderately over a long period of time is way, way worse.

          I’ll agree with you for sure that it wasn’t as bad as he deserved.

    Australia is home to over 60% of the world’s kangaroo species, but the country’s population of kangaroos actually outnumbers its human population — roughly 47 million kangaroos to about 27 million people.

      Yep. Bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people every day. Karma is just copium for the masses.

        And they both lived lives of excess and power into old age. Nothing can happen to Trump that would balance the 79 years he got.
