We lose Betty White, but Dick Cheney still lives

I know Betty was 20 years older than Satan (I mean, swingin' Dick Cheney). But the man had 2 heart attacks. Isn't there a weakness there that nature, fate and justice can exploit? I'm not actually wishing death upon him or anyone. I just can't understand why this supremely evil being is still around given his medical history.

I'm just glad that he's completely out of government and isn't influencing policy any more.

I suppose it is a good thing that he is not in the public eye.

Jan 06th committee. So, while I detest him with a passion, in respect for his heart donor, I'll say no more.

Question: is it reasonable for someone in their 70s who received medical treatment to be alive? Yes.

Cheney has been out of office for 13 years. Why focus on him?
