I don't visit any right wing sites, or listen to any right wing radio, but I'm guessing the conspiracy theory should start flying, fast and furious, any second now. No doubt his childhood diagnosis of hemophilia won't even hit their radar

(26,246 posts)I remember my mom taking quite a few falls, during her last years. Thankfully she never broke anything, or never hit her head.

(26,246 posts)It was a nasty injury, but no breaks. She rapidly went downhill, and died about a month later.
At about the same time, my aunt fell and broke her hip. She lasted 9 months, after that. 2015 was rough.

I shouldn't make jokes. My aunt fell down the stairs last month and broke her neck. She died a few hours later.

(82,849 posts)I mean, who ever heard of an overweight 78-year-old smoker of sedentary lifestyle and perpetually bilious attitude toward life just suddenly dropping dead of a heart attack? No, something else must be involved! The same nonsense will be unpacked and used to explain the sudden, baffling death of Roger Ailes, the very picture of a healthy 77-year-old.

Grow your own food and filter your water to save yourselves!!!! I WILL KICK YOUR ASS IF YOU TURN US INTO GAY WIZARDS!!! I WILL SEND YOU TO THE FIERY DEPTHS OF HELL!!!!! I am sorry to our Christian affiliates - I am a Christian. I will not let that happen again.
