Deathray 2,940 Posted June 26, 2018 Seems bizzare for a former Democrat president to be that friendly with a former republican one. Could you imagine Jeremy Corbyn popping over to visit Theresa May in 20 years? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,436 Posted June 26, 2018 Quite common, actually. Margaret Thatcher was friends with a number of Labour politicians in her private life, including of all people, Eric Heffer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Key 747 Posted June 26, 2018 All the former Presidents are pretty friendly with each other - they all badmouth each other when they're President (e.g. Trump is running his mouth) but the other Presidents are being semi-respectful towards Trump. A couple of years ago Trump was going on about how he and Bill Clinton were friends. (don't click on this picture, the link and website are toxic and shouldn't get ad clicks) I would like to apologise for the site that image comes from, but I just googled a quick pic for a quick example - I'm sure there's some level of respect between British Prime Ministers even if they mainly meet for formal occasions. Not sure if I found out about it here or on reddit, but there's also the Presidents Club: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/11/weekinreview/11stolberg.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDavidSteel 15 Posted July 6, 2018 if no one else dies then we will be making the record of all time lowest at least if we only include those from 1994 onwards when the number was strictly 50 since then lets talk probability! whats the probability the remaining 45 all survive to the years end??

Clorox Bleachman 2,402 Posted July 6, 2018 Really low. The 1-year survival rate of Stage IV lung cancer (which Bracknell probably has) is 20% but the 2-year survival rate is so low that there are no statistics on it. Bracknell was diagnosed 2 years ago in September. McCain was diagnosed with GBM exactly a year ago and he would have to live for 18 months post-diagnosis to survive the year. The average time between diagnosis and death is about 14 months, so he'd be really hard-pressed to make it past that in his 80s. Your overall chances of dying in any given year are lowered by the age of 97, so the 8 people aged 97+ have better chances than others. However, that didn't work out too well for Billy Graham.

Deathtreat23 189 Posted October 4, 2018 Let me guess where this is going-they deny that his health has gone down hill and then there's a deterioration hours before the hit happens-a bit like what happened with Muhammad Ali. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
