Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I doubt very few normal Americans will be the least bit sad if Donvict were to kick the bucket while in office.
The only thing that will be absolutely obnoxious in the wake of his passing would be all the moral scolds in the "center" lecturing anyone celebrating. Same with all the "independents".
And don't get me started on all the far right wing assholes that will try do the same thing they did to anyone that said anything they didn't like in relation to the shitstain Charlie Kirk. Even if many people know how vengeful these thin-skinned assholes all are, I bet spontaneous celebration breaks out...
Even so, Donvict will likely get the Ronnie Raygun treatment from at least parts of the "liberal media" if he were to pass away while in the WH.
I don't know, the MAGAs who claim Trump isn't really dead, that he went into hiding because the Illuminati were trying to "get him," and will tell us all about their Trump/Elvis sightings near Area 51 for the next forty years will probably be pretty obnoxious, too.

There was a dumbass (regular commenter on Denver Post) that kept insisting, year after year, that "The Storm" was coming. First, it was the fall of 2017, IIRC. When myself and others would point out that it's now 2018, and 2017 came and went, he'd insist it was any day now. We'd chide him and ask for more details on just who was getting arrested, and for what, and he made these claims on what evidence...he'd get rather cagey about it all.
But he'd be back, insisting it was coming any day now. We'd ask him to commit to a new date. He'd give one, like "November 2018". This would of course come and go and no "Storm" to be seen. Hillary, Podesta and Obama all walking around quite free. This continued until the fall of 2020, and then I think he insisted that "The Storm" would happen before Donald leaves office.
He of course insisted that Donvict "really won" and he might not be leaving office in 2021. Well, most people could see that the annoying orange would rather not leave office and plotting a coup was not beyond him....
Anyway, I'm pretty sure this guy carried on with his belief in "The Storm" being just around the corner until 2024, when, not long before the election, the Denver Post shut down their comments. I'm sure he's still neck deep in this kind of nonsense, thinking Q is still a thing...for these morons, "The Storm" is just like the way end times prophecy cults go on about their eschatology...
