Can't believe it but I'm actually hoping it turns out to be just a mindless rant for 45 minutes and he forgets to declare war or martial law or himself king or whatever he intended.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 48 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (3 children)

I hope he shits himself violently and has a stroke and dies on camera. I want the smell of his shit to be so vile, the secret servicemen who come to his aid instantly projectile puke on his corpse after a really big lunch. I want his administration to slip on the puke and hit their heads hard. Half fataly, and the other half sent to hospices for brain damaged vegetables where they shit themselves constantly. I want the nurses that take care of these vegetables to be abusive and hose the shit off them with a cold garden hose infrequently, until they die of sepsis from shitty bed sores.

I have high hopes.

Can I....get in on that wish there bruv

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

My man! Get in on this now. Hope with all your might.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

Unfortunately, I think he'll be like Kissinger, and his fat fucking hate-filled void where his heart should be is going to keep him alive for another 15 years. The Right is going to Weekend at Bernie's him around as long as physically possible, because they know the backlash to... everything... is going to be severe.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

This is actually most likely.

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 3 points 2 hours ago

Or advertise a new hotel, like the last time the media believed he had something important to say.

[–] 52fighters@lemmy.sdf.org 45 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

War in Venezuela? Yes, it's war in Venezuela.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 21 points 7 hours ago

Or he will announce that the dems are now designated as a terrorist organization

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 11 points 8 hours ago

Could be Canada or Greenland. Maybe all three?

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago

Special military opperation.

It's going to be Venezuela.

I "matched" a girl from Venezuela. You know, had her entire profile in Spanish, but spoke perfect English? She was suggesting that maybe the invasion would help free them from Maduro.

Yeah. They're trying to psy-op this already, and they know they don't have the narrative or support it they're gonna try it anyway.

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 22 points 5 hours ago (2 children)
[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 15 points 5 hours ago

Normally? Yeah. But this is about invading a foreign country because they nationalized their own oil.

This will involve children getting killed. So... No.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

No it's a bush level unforced error. Not just the administration, but the nation as well. Young men are about to go experience the joy of dying in a jungle as the rest of us suffer because the rest of the world fucking hates us and won't trade with us anymore.

[–] FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 hours ago

That's kind of Trump's MO, though. Distract from anything embarrassing or problematic for him by committing increasingly greater cruelties that push them off the front page.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

You'll excuse me for being skeptical.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 30 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

He’s declaring war on Venezuela

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 28 points 5 hours ago

A naval blockade, is an act of war. So, it’s already started. Hell of a thing to do to stop the release of the Epstein files.

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 26 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

i remember this video of an indian guy who suffers a brain aneurysm on camera.

not outside the realm of possibility... just sayin

[–] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 16 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

You are lying to yourself. He has the most comprehensive medical care on the planet. He is almost certainly having his vitals monitored 24 hours a day. They kept Cheney alive without a working heart 20 years ago.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 hours ago

They kept Cheney alive without a heart 20 years ago.

Big deal, like most politicians, especially republicans, he didn't have one to start with...

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Trump lived like absolute shit for the majority of his life, regardless of how well they keep an eye on him there are going to be underlying conditions they won't be able to predict. Also his brain is melting, as a general rule the body can keep going for a shit tonne of time so long as the mind works but not really the other way around at least amongst the elderly.

[–] DaMummy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 hours ago

Which is why he's making up for lost time. He's trying to get that Kissinger and Chaney lifetime. Which is what I think this address is about.

[–] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)
[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

Yes I'm aware of such technology, we can do it with kidneys too. Doesn't make it easy to maintain Trumps soft shitty body, bit like keeping a car working, gotta keep up maintance lest you deal with the unfixable sooner than expected.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 7 points 4 hours ago

Maybe if we all think about it hard enough, we can manifest it?

[–] charonn0@startrek.website 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

There's a movie where the president (actually a decoy) fakes a stroke during a speech to Congress.

Please let this be "Dave"

War were declared.

-Wednesday, probably.

[–] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 18 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Can it be him walked to a guillotine? Cause I'd watch the shit out of that. Otherwise he can go fuck himself cause there's not a goddamn thing floating around in his dementia addled child raping mind I want to hear.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

What if all the stress with Epstein and everything just got to him and we truly had a joint universal Christmas gift? One can only dream.

Unfortunately though I think he'll pull a Kissinger, and the pure vile hate void inside him will keep him alive for another 15 years.

[–] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

I was always told the good die young, while I admit he's well past his prime, I feel he's evil enough to live damn near forever.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

he will probably try to reanimate/raise the dead Kissinger's corpse to distract the rubes

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 1 hour ago

If I watched this at all, it'd just be to see if I could fill out my bingo card, here. . .

Please don't

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 hours ago

This old ass orange child rapist mother fucker thinks this is the 1950s and he's going to be on all 3 channels and everyone will have to watch him.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 13 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Fucking asshole going lie for Fucking hour. Not watching that, people can post highlights next day. Seriously only Maga will believe anything he says about how great he claims things are going.

[–] cabillaud@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago

I'd rather avoid it next day. Enough of him already.

[–] cheesybuddha@lemmy.world 12 points 2 hours ago

Wasn't there a deadline for Epstein file release Friday?

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 6 points 8 hours ago

Sure, whatever.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 1 hour ago

a "distract from epstein file, and look over here at VENUZUELA AND sending the military against citizens" speech.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Could have a drinking game for what will be said. But I think we would die of alcohol poisoning.

Joe Biden, Economy, Russia Russia Russia, the laptop from hell, fentanyl, democrat hoax, joe Biden, affordability, groceries, ukraine in 1 day, Europe are mean, Canada is mean, more guard to more blue states, Trump is the best, everyone loves Trump, most popular man in the world, Putin is a nice guy

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

I really hope he'll break down as a slobbering idiot right on live TV. Best opportunity to show that he has advanced state dementia.

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 2 points 1 hour ago

Is he gonna announce that he's a pedophile or is he trying to avoid spoilers?
