      Dare I say the C word? Ok, I’ll say it… He’s a Cunt.

      Also, I hope it’s cancer. Inoperable cancer that will take years to kill him.
      Many, many excruciating and agonising years. Long enough for him to see his cronies and children imprisoned for their crimes.
      (Probably never happen, but i can dream)

        I want him to stroke out and be left as a locked in vegetable with the tv on 24/7 so he can watch as his empire of idiots falls. I hope he survives like this for decades. Unable to talk, move, eat.

        However, I’ll take what I can get.

    They will be lying through their teeth again. Heck, they did not even get basic parameters like height right last time.

    Walter Reed doctors asked the president to come in so they and their colleagues could try to understand how he’s in such amazing shape. He’s the most healthy specimen that they’ve seen and many people are saying so. He’s agreed to go because he wants to give the people the benefit of his rigor and strength. In a statement trump said, “They want to know how I do it. Who can blame them. I hear it all the time. ‘Sir, how do you manage to thrive like this? Sir, can we have some of it? And I say, ‘sure I guess’. Who am I to keep it all here? I mean I could, it’s my right as president. Some say I, you know many people are saying- I guess they call it ‘lonn gev itee’. I call it dongevity. Dongevity, can you believe it? Anyway, it’s what the people want.”

      The sad thing is that I can actually imagine KKKaroline Leavitt saying that to the press.

    What’s the spread? Fall of American democracy or death of Trump, which comes first? Seems neck and neck at the moment. I assume Draft kings has that bet set somewhere.

      I mean, if you’re going to bet on one, you’re going to bet on his death. Not because it’s necessarily more likely, but because the value of the dollar is going to tank on the fall of democracy and might even go up a bit after his death.

          My determination is if we are aloud to vote for a president in 2028, we at least have the appearance of a democracy. That would be the nail in the coffin.

            aloud to vote

            Well, we don’t shout anymore.

            We don’t push, either, as it’s a quick thing and it’s a little impolite. But our case - Canada - is different as we’re still walking to some gym or hall, standing in the 10-min queue, marking paper ballots with pencil, and getting it all done in a day.

          I mean, not like it used to be or should be. But elections aren’t actually cancelled yet. Though they becoming increasingly predetermined with the flood gates being opened for blatant partisan gerrymandering and soon, likely, the neutering of the Voting Rights Act, so… not exactly long for this world.

    Every time I see any kind of official federal government announcement, I imagine it’s being delivered by this lady:

      I have a close family member who visited North Korea back when they were still mostly closed-off to tourism from America, he managed to get in on a special tour.

      The tour consisted of things like giving tours of “normal North Korean grocery stores” and shopping malls.

      He came back and was enthralled. He said “Wow, our media got it all wrong, they have everything! They have food and produce and phones, they’re not being held back, they even had kids playing in the hotel lobby where I stayed!”

      I said to him “Are you dumb?” and he got mad.

      Turns out, he was in fact, very dumb. He fell hard down the alt-right pipeline and then the conspiracy hole where he never came back from. I haven’t talked to him in a long time because he straight up lost his mind. This is not a rare occurrence, most of America’s conservative movement has been powered by this breed of people, they are also the entirety of Trump’s political capital, a fiercely loyal voting group that supports anything their leader says, and they are violent and armed. You can’t buy that kind of power.
