Comparing Trump to Biden is hilariously SAD.  Trump has more vigor than people 1/4 his age.  

You misspelled rigor (mortis).

I doubt you could pass his strenuous presidential fitness test.  

Sometimes I have the distinct feeling you’re a super-progressive troller. It’s often funny & over the top ridiculous.

Three weeks (4?) in hospital, no word, no diagnosis. 

Resign.

He’s a vegetable.  He can’t resign.  The person with power of attorney is back in her homeland eating cats.  I guess they can pull the plug when they run out of money in 30 years.

If Jennings said that McConnell was "far beyond cogent" and "better than he's ever been intellectually, analytically", you'd believe him right?  Because he's on CNN?

I believe that’s rigor tortoise.

Rigor mortis in a tortoise....
 
 
refers to the stiffening of the body's muscles after death. This rigidity occurs because muscle cells run out of ATP, the energy source required for muscles to relax, causing them to lock up. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Because tortoises can have very strong shells and thick skin, verifying death by checking for stiffness can be difficult. Here are the key indicators and timelines to help:
1. The Rigor Mortis Timeline
  • Onset: Like in other animals, it typically begins 2 to 6 hours after death.
  • Peak: The limbs and neck will be at their absolute stiffest usually around 12 hours post-mortem.
  • Resolution: Rigor mortis is temporary. After about 24 to 36 hours, bacterial and enzyme breakdown causes the muscles to relax, and the body will go limp again. [1, 2, 3, 4]
2. Identifying Death
If you are unsure whether your tortoise has died or is simply in a deep hibernation (brumation), look for the following signs:
  • The Reflex Check: Gently press a finger inside the tortoise's cloaca (the vent under the tail). If it is alive, it will usually respond by pulling its legs in, hissing, or reacting.

Just a note from personal experience - never, ever, wake a hibernating tortoise.
