(I'll leave you to your prayer circles if you are so inclined...

Caveat: I'm an atheist, so I meant that ironically.

21. Boy howdy...

I’m so stealing that.

[Poiuyt]

4. Didn't Trump just give his wife a Presidential Medal of Freedom?

[DesertRat]

7. Yes

[atreides1]

30. Yep!

What was he paid for it?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

40. looks like $112 million

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-sheldon-adelson-campaign-donor-medal-of-freedom-a8628231.html

The Adelsons have donated more than $112m to Republican political action committees in this past election cycle, which ended as the most expensive in US history at $5.2bn spent.

[NewJeffCT]

58. that $112 million

was probably a huge help in Republicans keeping the Senate and holding onto governor's houses in Iowa and Ohio, I bet. Not to mention Florida governor and senate races?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

60. some of it benefitted Cruz

Adelson deserves some suffering just for helping Cruz stay in the Senate.

[NewJeffCT]

61. those two races in Florida

were so close that I can't help but think even a small amount of money helped get Republican turnout up and/or suppressed Democratic turnout.

and, the Democrat was leading going into the final week or so in both governor races in IA and OH

[harumph]

5. Gehenna is waiting - hurry up Sheldon!

[The Truth Is Here]

6. His portion is gone.

He sold it to ol' Luc.

[irresistable]

8. He hasn't looked very healthy for a while.

[Demovictory9]

16. he is 85

[dalton99a]

9. Good riddance

[harumph]

10. to bad rubbish

[Scurrilous]

11. Could be a ruse.

Sheldon Adelson's health in question ahead of court hearing

<snip>

"Questions have been raised about the health of Las Vegas Sands Chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson as the start date looms for a trial in Clark County District Court that could cost the company millions of dollars in damages.

It is unclear whether Adelson, 85, will be able to testify in the civil lawsuit brought by Hong Kong businessman Richard Suen, who has been seeking compensation from the gaming giant since 2004 over the assistance he claims to have provided Adelson and the company in landing a lucrative concession to operate casinos in Macau in the early 2000s.

Adelson, who is the largest shareholder in Las Vegas Sands, missed the company’s fourth quarter earnings conference call with analysts on Jan. 23 because he was “a little bit under the weather,” Las Vegas Sands President Rob Goldstein said at the call’s outset. A gaming source said Adelson did not attend nor participate in the company’s January board meeting associated with the call."

25. Reminds me of Michael Corleone on Hyman Roth:

"He's been dying of the same heart attack for ten years."

[Stinky The Clown]

36. Bingo!

[WhiteTara]

13. May he receive his just rewards

on his trip through the Bardo.

[HipChick]

17. Hah....Bardo...

[WhiteTara]

18. He should have an interesting time

[NRaleighLiberal]

14. I will invoke the Thumper clause

[BlueintheSTL]

15. As Mark Twain said, "I didn't attend the funeral, but I agreed with it."

[PSPS]

24. LOL

[superpatriotman]

26. +1000

[Auggie]

65. Hah!

[SoCalDem]

19. You know the drill

[procon]

20. The wife is no better, she'll continue buying her way to the

government that will make her richer.

[rpannier]

34. Maybe we'll get lucky and she'll be so distraught at his demise

that she soon follows him to her reward

[ellie]

22. Big fat bummer

[PatSeg]

23. That guy looks like he died years ago

[ooky]

27. He will be remembered as a true lover

of money.

[RockRaven]

28. womps and womps

So much harm wrought upon the world by one person.

[chomper]

29. Good

Too bad it was not sooner.

[Polly Hennessey]

31. I am not so inclined.

[gopiscrap]

32. fuck the thoughts and prayers

Shelly do us all a favor, don't make it a long lingering illness...just go now!!!

[Wellstone ruled]

35. Interesting,nothing about this in his

Right Wing Newspaper .

Notice Sheldon has a Deposition on Monday. Hmmm. I'll leave it at that.

[nancy1942]

38. I really don't care. Does anyone?

[UpInArms]

39. Some people bring joy when they enter ....

Some bring joy when they leave

[Generic Brad]

41. What? He can't buy more years of good health?

That means his money is worthless as he nears the end of his life. What a hell of a time to realize that hoarding wealth and being a dick to most people gained him nothing in the end. Boo fucking hoo.

[magicarpet]

44. I think they drained the last drop of blood out of Sheldon decades ago.....

.... every drop of blood has been replaced with formaldehyde. They just have to baste him every so often like a 20lb Butterball to keep him moist so he does not go crispy.

[pansypoo53219]

42. he needs to linger so he pays more DEATH taxes.

[UTUSN]

43. Did Bibi's indictment have something to do with it?!1

[Aristus]

45. Don't pop the champagne just yet.

Someone may yet offer him the blood of a young virgin, and he'll regain his health...

[hlthe2b]

46. Not to worry; I 'm deep into prayer...

What I'm praying for will not be revealed, however.

[niyad]

48. praying for nice weather here, as well. nasty snow storm predicted (our weather guessers

have already been wrong three times this week)

[itcfish]

49. He's Ill?

My God the man must be 112 years old.

[Tom Rinaldo]

50. We shouldn't speak ill of the dead...

So hurry up, time is running out!

[java108]

51. He's not dead yet, so the heck with him!

I'm good at finding loopholes.

[java108]

52. May Satan take him home.

[redstatebluegirl]

53. Remember there are a lot of Sheldons out there.

Most of them are unknown due to the dark money spent on PACS. I think the Koch boys are a bigger threat because they are going into states quietly and taking them over. Sheldon just wrote checks.

[SoCalNative]

54. Well, one of the Kochs is in a downward spiral

so maybe he's next on Satan's list

[calguy]

55. If he dies he will be sorely

NOT MISSED!!!!!!

[lagomorph777]

56. WHat I will be praying for...might get me struck by lightning....

[dalton99a]

57. Fucker is not dying and will return to work

Las Vegas Sands spokesman Ron Reese said in a statement emailed to CNN and other news outlets. "These side effects have restricted his availability to travel or keep regular office hours."

He said Adelson is still fulfilling his duties as chairman and CEO of Las Vegas Sands and is expected to resume a regular work schedule after he completes his treatment.

[pecosbob]

59. Longtime foe of unions here in Las Vegas...I won't miss him

[stonecutter357]

62. thoughts and prayers.

[HughBeaumont]

63. How could anyone tell????

The greater tragedy is that America is beholden to the needs of "Greatest" and "Boomer" multi-billionaires. Enough of this silly way of life. Get out of the Reagan 1980$ and drop the re-branded Feudalism already.

[MineralMan]

64. Proughts and Thayers to his family.

May he be kept alive for a very long time in the hospital.

[Beingthere2006]

66. did you know wombats have square droppings? nt
