Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Probably why he posted an AI eulogy for Kirk

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 60 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (11 children)

I don't know if it's completely AI...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q1N6Akpz9c

It feels more like a really really advanced filter. Which explains why he keeps his body almost perfectly still, to the point he holds his hands together the whole time.

Those filters don't like movement, but I've literally never seen him be so still before.

Like, he filmed it, that's actually trump in the video, then they ran a deep fake filter with him with a "better" face/hands. But so it wouldn't stick out, they ran the same filter over everything else, which is why everything looks AI in the video despite no plausible reason.

It's sounds tinfoily until you remember this is trump we're talking about, he's done way worse

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There’s oddness that’s also affecting the window in the background. You see it move around odd when he moves around odd.

He’s clearly covering his right hand.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 day ago

Oh shit, you're right. It goes dark. If you speed up the video to 2x and turn off the sound, his mouth is moving way to uniformly to be a real person.

[–] BJ_and_the_bear@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

At 0:19 the trees behind him shift suddenly

I'm on board with a heavy filter at the very least. I think he has the hand of a stroke victim and covering it. My theory is many, mini strokes.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

I heard someone mention it could be Adobe Premiere or some shit like that.

It’s definitely doctored in some way.

Reminds me a lot of the lengths they went to hide the fact that FDR was in a wheelchair way back.

Damn, Moves the left hand then looks at the right not move. For a narcissist, trapped in your own body may just be the worst thing.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 30 points 1 day ago

Since he will never face any consequences for his actions, this is a reasonable second.

I hope he is suffering every moment of every day.

Yes, the real one would be like, Charlie, great guy. Dead. Sad. I remember one time he said mister president, I really look up to you—may I see your collection of master locks?

We all want him gone, I'm just always gonna be sore we won't ever see him destitute and imprisoned. We shouldn't have had to rely on the inevitable to rid us of this human parasite.

[–] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 63 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe he'll suffer for a few months unable to get out of bed while getting to scroll through posts of death-wishes and people celebrating?

Would be nicer if he was handcuffed to said bed for the duration though-- for being found guilty of raping children since he is a child rapist who raped kids.

Considering how much he likes golf, does this mean he’s taken some strokes off his game?

Ma boy doesn’t look good at all. Time to prepare some champagne, just in case.

[–] HuskerNation@lemmy.zip 71 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

I hope him a slow and ludicrously insane painful death with much suffering.

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 day ago

There's already suffering because of this asshole. I'm ok with him being gone.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Absolutely not. It'll be much better for all concerned if he mentally deteriorates while he's still physically well, so that he's acting like a lost grandpa at press conferences, visibly shitting himself, forgetting what's going on in interviews and not even being able to cover it as well as he currently does his forgetting-what's-going-on-and-covering-it, all that stuff.

Let it play out to do as much undoing as possible to the cult of "Trump can do no wrong" because they're trying to double down to their friends and family about how he definitely didn't just spend five minutes yelling about "the Japs" and drooling when he was talking to reporters or something. That would be my wish, at least.

Id rather it be immediate and public. Just keels the fuck over on live TV out of nowhere so we can move on quickly.

Sorry to upset people thinking of him dieing soon, but they're going to sit him in a gold throne, kept barely alive, in suspended animation, then keep him alive and in charge for 40,000 years.

They'll use AI every time they want him to "say something".

That's it, I'm jumping in the nearest warp storm.

Can’t wait to see trump wearing sunglasses and going everywhere with Hegseth and RFK Jr. propping him up as they walk around and pretend to have him whisper things in their ear that they relay to us.

They’ll probably just be boring and use AI, but I’m still hoping for a Weekend at Bernie’s.

You know what should make him feel better? A bunch of fried chicken and a big pot of coffee!

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A line of coke and a big ol hit of the meth pipe should give him the pick me up he needs

So what happens to project 2025 when the mouth piece responsible for Trump's Gen Z support dies, Trump dies, and VP Couch Fucker becomes president?

I don't see a lot of people putting up with the Heritage Foundation's bullshit if the snake is rattleless and headless.

Well, I wish him the worst, and hope for the slowest, most agonizing recovery for him.

[–] slampisko@lemmy.world 64 points 22 hours ago (6 children)

What a vile sentiment. This is a human person that is a felon and a rapist and actively brings harm to marginalized people, and you wish him a recovery?!

Loving that for him!

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 29 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

He had a stroke. COVID infected in at his age have double the chances of stroke later on.

He can talk to Charlie about how karma is a bitch.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 16 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

Karma would have been him rotting in a prison cell for the last 40 or so years

Definitely looks like a stroke. Just like the posters in hospitals where they tell you to immediately notify staff if you see a face like that.

He's been not stroking out for years, why start now?

In all fairness, the only photos or footage I've seen of trump in which his face doesn't look like he's melting were from like the 80s.

Being a human (ish) McDonald's grease trap will do that to you.

Lots of people, the best people in fact, are saying it was another mini stroke.

That's not a droop. That's just Trump making a "I went doodie" face.

Cause he probably did.

Man, I saw that photo and for a brief moment I felt bad for him, but then I remembered he's a piece of shit, and deserves every health problem he gets and then some.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 18 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Famous people always die three at a time. It's a rule....of three. Let's go #2!

And if this is from a stroke, $100 says that's where he was that weekend he "died".
