You had me going there

The only reason he's an arsehole is that he doesn't like lasagne.

I had one of his McDonald's clear glass colorful lead-paint collectors mugs in the 1980s.

Calm down Nermal!

This motherfucker got to be in movies and TV too, as if ruining the internet isn't enough. Every childhood memory I have is tainted by his selfish orange ass.

He's been dead for 25 years.

The thing is, dark money and Russian disinformation have installed a political machine in place that Trump is just the face of. As the face of this he has disturbed institutions of government and American life, as well as globally, which I think will take years to repair. It's a global far right power grab, so even if he does die, there's still a lot to fix.

However it's his peculiar charisma that for whatever reason these people respond to in ways that they don't to traditional dyed in the wool Republicans like Romney or McCain that is why they've been so successful, and when he dies finding a replacement for him will be difficult for them. The journalist Maggie Haberman says the way he will go into a room of these people and charm everyone in there is genius, really, even though his terrible personality is what his campaign was based on, really. He makes them laugh, my Canadian coworker who isn't in any way a MAGA still likes him because he makes her laugh, which makes no sense because he's not funny, but it's the shock of him openly being what all of them really are underneath, racist and hateful and bigoted, that seems funny, I think anyway. His weird appeal probably can't be replicated by anyone else.

So in my opinion him dying will have a major impact on the success of this political monstrous machine they've created, without question, but they've wrecked a lot of things along the way that will take a lot to restore, and my guess is that the Democrats will just let some things stay as they are.

What kind of cake should I bake when it happens?

I can't wait to piss on his grave.

The Land of the Flee

some people make the world better with their passing. others make the world better with their passing.

Here's a little something else to think of. The government is shut down, so the purse strings are closed. And yet, a private "donation" is being given to the military. By a man who apparently has a problem with Venezuela. At the same time the world's most powerful warship, along with its associated battle group, has been pulled out of Europe to go play drug cop in the Caribbean Sea.

Only if it's from natural causes. In case you hadn't figured it out sooner, he'd otherwise become a martyr. You think the Charlie Kirk stupidity is bad? Imagine how bad it world be if the cult's object of worship was popped. Such a martyrdom would give the cult something to rally around after his end. If he dies naturally, however, the cult is FAR more likely to descend into infighting with a side of conspiracy theory, and tear itself apart as all the horrible people tried to scramble for whatever they could get by stomping on each other. Cults are complex monsters but have ways to survive the death of their leaders.

When Donny dies it will be the 2nd Independence Day for this country, or at least “most” of it.

I'll be glad when he is no longer in power. I'm equally afraid of who will succeed him. Could our angry Americans please use their anger to change the absolutely insane system by which a president is elected and then invest wholesale in education? That's just two examples I could think of off the top of my head. What's good about getting rid of the orange only to fall into a fruit salad?

Maybe Garfield could be a fun new nickname? Like winnie the pooh for that chinese trump...

I'm hella pissed that someone decided to shoot Charlie Kirk instead of anyone who really would have made a difference with their death.

remember when thatcher died and "the witch is dead" popped up in the charts? when donald dies his gravestone better be non stick and have a handle for flushing.
