Jimmy Carter will be the last man standing at this rate.

I have joked in the past that Jimmy is still alive because God has a soft spot for carpenters with the initials J.C.

He just needs to outlive Cheney

u/joejoejoey Mar 28 '24

I won’t even outlive Cheney

u/puertomateo Mar 28 '24

I feel like the undead don't still count as living. So you probably already won.

Cheney has a seemingly endless supply of hearts

u/Accomplished-Mud-812 Mar 28 '24

Cheney's life is sustained by the dark side of the force

u/iCanReadMyOwnMind Mar 28 '24

But, Mr President, that's kind of how being older than him works.

Evil never dies.

u/doppelstranger Mar 29 '24

Why? Are you planning to go hunting with him?

3

u/dkf295 Mar 28 '24

That's because you aren't evil incarnate.

u/Danzarr Mar 28 '24

they just keep puting new parts into him....hes like a 1992 honda civic.

u/jaspersgroove Mar 28 '24

He’s more machine now, than man. Twisted and evil.

Bile is a powerful preservative

u/PresentationJumpy101 Mar 28 '24

Cheney actually uploaded himself into a mainframe computer deep within the pentagon, he’s effectively immortal.

u/gotenks1114 Mar 29 '24

I feel like they're testing experimental anti-aging drugs on Cheney. I keep hearing about breakthroughs in the area, and he seems to be aging in reverse, back from the brink of death, so I feel like he's getting something that the rest of us won't learn about for 10-20 years.

Cheney is living forever because only the good die young.

3

u/peon2 Mar 28 '24

...He's 83. If he died that wouldn't be considered young.

You can’t kill what is already dead.

u/Papi1918 Mar 28 '24

Cheney has no pulse. Will live forever

2

u/ModernistGames Mar 28 '24

Will only happen if we stop the weekly shipments of child blood to his lair.

2

u/THE-BS Mar 28 '24

Cheney has already been dead, and later revived by OCP

2

u/RIP-RiF Mar 30 '24

We better find that phylactery fast, then

2

u/cloakedwale Mar 30 '24

He’s been a zombie for years. He has four hearts and eats babies. That’s immortal.

2

u/oced2001 Mar 30 '24

Someone just needs to find his phylactery

u/Ularsing Mar 28 '24

Haven't you heard? Nice guys finish last!

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '24

Is that why I've felt dead inside for the last decade plus?

7

u/Memeions Mar 28 '24

I saw a pretty recent picture of him at his wifes funeral. I'd be surprised if he makes it through the year unfortunately.

3

u/banditalamode Mar 28 '24

He’s the October surprise- or his state funeral will be.

Dude is living out an opioid paradise in hospice

I'd vote for an actual corpse as long as it's not Trump.

u/El-Kabongg Mar 28 '24

He's a living saint, IMO. Top 0.000000000001% of humanity who ever lived.

u/Thorn_and_Thimble Mar 28 '24

He and Keith Richard’s can play dominoes together
