He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s after his second term. That’s not necessarily the same thing as “getting” Alzheimer’s after one’s second term. There’s no way to prove whether or not Reagan had developed the illness prior in his 1988, but for what it’s worth, his two sons strongly disagree about whether or not Reagan

It wasn’t rumors, I don’t remember even hearing anything said about it. For me, it was watching him. There were times he had no idea where he was, he had to rely on Nancy to tell him. His speech patterns and vocabulary was completely different in his second term, than they were when he first got in. The thing about

Three sizes too small.

I’m sorry but this is one of the most ignorant comments I’ve read in a long time. It’s also discriminatory. Speaking as a health professional, there is no reason someone can’t be in their 70's and both mentally and physically healthy enough to be president. I don’t care if you jog everyday, you could still have

His son believes he had while in office. He showed obvious signs of having it.

He got Alzheimer’s after he left office. And regardless of the fact that I personally hated his policies and opinions, the fact remains that he was incredibly effective, and left a legacy that is still at work f**cking people up in the intended manner. Health issues, accidents, and assassination attempts can strike at

Let’s assume we could magically set an age for ALL people to be disqualified because of health issues. Why would when their second term ends matter? There is no guarantee of a second term. Why not set your arbitrary line to disqualify anyone getting a first term over the age of 66? If we are concerned about the ending

Fuck that ageist bullshit. The term is only four years, and we have a vice president. If anything, the minimum age should be increased to 45.

I would like to take a moment to pay tribute to my father, Marine Corp Colonel Samuel Tillett for his courageous and near fatal actions, attempting to save as many lives as possible 15 years ago today in his position as head of security at The Pentagon. When the plane hit my father was not but a hundred feet from the

So...she wanted the relationship to be more Loki.

Could we get over the trend of constantly judging what other people eat? I am so sick of people feeling compelled to interrogate me (a vegan) about what I eat, what I don’t eat, why I eat what I eat, etc. I do not care what anyone has to say about my diet (especially when what they have to say is “Tofu?! GROSS!”), and

I heard something from Aimee Mann that I really liked, along the lines of “people are entitled to dislike you, and their reason why is none of your business.” Maybe a person is shallow and only talks to models; maybe you have an uncanny resemblance to someone who bullied him/her as a kid. As long as someone isn’t

ATTENTION WHITE SISTREN: BLACK MEN DO NOT OWE YOU THEIR ATTENTIONS, SEXUAL OR OTHERWISE. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF THEIR BODILY AUTONOMY, ESPECIALLY GIVEN HISTORICAL DENIAL OF SAID BY YOUR FUCKING PEOPLE.

It’s simple: if you are a famous man, and you rape women, you will get a pass. If you are a college athlete, you will get a pass. If your victim is female, no one will give a shit about her or your crime.

You are not really pulling out all of the bs comments she has uttered over her playing career. I will never forget the trash talking, classless garbage she spewed on the Canadian team following USA’s miraculous (read, referee inspired) victory in 2012. She’s not being held to a higher standard; she’s being held to the

You’re not dumb! It was really sneaky. The donations were made in her name but he cut the checks himself (they never went into her bank account, he sent the money directly)and only the person who pays gets the break.

Wouldn't it be a tax break for Amber if she donated the money? Sorry, I'm dumb and have never been in this kind of situation.

While I’m of the opinion that there are a lot of terrible shows out there, “Con Man with Dead Shark Eyes Manipulates Minor Celebs Using the Memory of Their Dead Loved Ones” is right up there at the top, along with “Family of Religious Fundamentalists Who Rate Their Need to Reproduce Higher Than the Health of Their
