    Only the democrats. He was a turncoat, a traitor to his political party who put him where he was.

    I feel the pasing of Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou) of the old Andy Griffith Show will be missed much more. I think only Ellie ( Elinor Donahue ) and Opie remain alive from the regular cast.

    I won’t miss him. It is interesting that he was fully vaccinated.

    Don't know much about him. Understand that when a left leaning liberal dies, the press immediately canonizes him. Am sure his family loved him. He was already in a mess with the Parkinson's and Leukemia so not surprising that he was not able to weather the ChiCombug. Sincerely. bruce.

    General Powell was like a lot of us. He did some good, he did some harm. He did two tours in Vietnam. He did his own wrenching on his Volvo 122 S.

    RIP

    While the press is respecting his family's declaration of 'covid complications', I think after an interval there could be a discussion of covid accelerating the toll of serious illnesses.

    The vaccination does not totally prevent the covid, but over 90% of those that die from the covid have not had the vaccine.

    As mentioned he had two other deadly complications, and may have just had covid when he died.
