tl:dr bunch more assholes waiting in the wings
Well shit
Always has been
Things never get back to normal. There never was a normal.
Things change and either you force your own change, or you allow your self to be changed.
Oppression is the norm, sadly
Ah you don't know about Peter Thiel and Larry Ellison.
If you're on a plane with Trump, Putin, Xi, musk, and 30 other billionaires, and you have a gun with only one bullet, who do you shoot?
The pilot.
Nah, plenty of billionaires have pilot's licences. The only way to be sure is to rip and tear until it is done.
Shoot the avionics then.
One of the windows would be better. There aren't a ton of places where a single bullet will take down a plane, if you can get a window you can at least depressurize the cabin and force a really sketchy landing, but guaranteeing the plane crashes when it's full of people capable of keeping it in the air is no small feat. Maybe if you have access to the maintenance cabins you can pop one of the hydraulic manifold blocks, I'm not sure if the main ones have redundant fail-safes if the whole manifold spontaneously opens a new outlet.
I would tell the billionaires if they look outside they'll see an underage girl, then shoot the plane's instruments and then help the pilot escape with me with the only two parachutes on board.
Is this what a modern jesus would do?
Yes. Also best solution to trolley problem.
Only 3?
This is not down to a few persons - its a mentality and it will take generations of active work to change!
Probably a lot longer given that this mentality was supposedly already eradicated, and yet like polio, is somehow still pervasive today.
I'm only here for another 60 years at most.
it better fucking happen sooner than that
Same.
However, I wonder how many different 3-name lists people would come up with.
Edit: in my boring case, i would also probably be a TNP.
TXP wouldn’t be too bad either
high five!
Trump will not last anyways so mine is just Putin and Netanyahu. Others will just easily be replaced like the guy in Iran.
No one really believes that the vacancies from the deaths won’t be filled by yet another asshole, do they?
The entire administration is riding on the political capital that Trump has seized early on by courting the nation's most stupid.
That turned into political capital because while this is a minority segment, this segment is beyond devoted, they would literally support Trump without exception or hesitation, and they're armed, and they are united in their orcish rampage across politics. Jan 6th was Trump "weapon testing" to show that he could wield this devotion and fanaticism.
So right now, there are dozens or hundreds of Republicans jockeying for pole position after Trump dies, each one thinking they can wield this same power. But they absolutely do not get it. They try. They say unhinged and bold nonsense hoping it lands, but then end up talking and ruining it. Watch JD try to act tough and then spend 30 minutes talking like a politician as the viewers tune out. MAGAts hate that shit. They are loyal to trump because he's genuine. (Not honest, there's a difference) and Trumps hatred for even being there oozes from his pores and his base loves it. It's a weird formula that will lead to absolute chaos when Trump dies, and much of the GOP power will go with him.
But that is not even remotely saying things are going to be "better" in any way. A lot of very wealthy people feel empowered to completely cheat and break the law and game the system. Unless very strong dem leadership rises immediately, Trump's death may well be more ruinous than when he was alive because it will splinter the country's power blocs and lead to a breakdown in government.
I know who two of those obituaries would be for but the third eludes me...
Netanyahu Putin
ahhhh yep okay.
i remembered trump and putin but forgot netanyahu.
...
it was nice forgetting about him for a while--
...but there are literally thousands of people who can't,
thousands of families whose lives he destroyed...
okay. i regret it now ._.
Three? More like three hundred.
You need simultaneous 19 obituaries in the US.
Reminds me of the Cuban man joke.. while not directly appropriate.. something something like:
During my travels in the 1970s, I met a Cuban man in some bar at night discussing politics and Castro with his friends. I noticed he had an unusually short and stubby index finger. I asked him about it but he was too drunk to give a proper response.
He did however let me crash at his house that night. I woke up to him returning from buying the morning newspaper, seems like daily routine. His wife had made breakfast and he sits down eagerly, looks at his wife and at me and then slaps the rolled newspaper on the table.
I approach him to take a look and he, presses his index finger on the newspaper's date. He proclaims loudly.. "I'm telling you now (without opening the page).. This is the day Castro dies!"
[I tried my best, if someone had the proper wording, let me know. My Google skills failed me]
I wonder what the digital equivalent is...
The real punchline is that he came to America and voted for trump.
What?
What's TNP?
First initial of last name for 3 people I’d reckon - Netanyahu Putin are the last two.
Who's your third? The guy in charge of the other body who would be pro-tempore?
Musical chairs with fascist billionaires.
T, M, V, in that order for me
I’d choose M, V, T.
Marry, vape, tap?
Musk, Voldemort, and Trump, I'm sure.
