      It’ll just make him a martyr to these assholes. And when that last cheeseburger finally gets him, I swear it will be a conspiracy theory that he was poisoned by Obama or whoever.

          Reagan went out slowly over 10 years with Alzheimers and they still worshipped him.

          They will find any excuse to worship whoever they want because they are not bound by logic or reason.

          So if they’re going to worship him regardless, might as well hope to stop the damage he causes sooner.

    I check the news every morning. One of these days, I’ll see that the little blood clot we’re all rooting for finally won. And that will be such a good day.

    My father in laws fondest wish was to outlive Trump. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it. So I have to live that wish for him.

    I have a bottle of champagne that was gifted to my partner and I at our wedding. We were originally saving it for a milestone anniversary, but we have instead decided that we uncork it when It Happens.

    The flags here were lowered to half mast recently and I got excited.

    Unfortunately it was something local and not my hope.

    I aim to be alive but I also probably will be risking alcohol poisoning that day so who knows if I see the next day.

    i always read this word as “orbituary”, and now o fancy thinking of his ungodly remains in low earth orbit, slowly breaking down at they reenter the atmosphere.

      I could see him putting himself in orbit, in some kind of space coffin. Maybe with help from bezos. And making a big spectacle of it before he dies. People make some jokes and then everyone forgets about it. Ten years later, there’s some obscure news story about it get hit by some orbiting garbage and knocking it into the atmosphere, and nobody caring.

    Now I understand Elvis Costello’s song “Tramp the Dirt Down” much better. That one was about Margaret Thatcher, but if the shoe fits.

    I’ve been dealing with the kind of mental health issue alluded to here for a long time, for myself and people I’ve known.

    Get revenge on the people that wronged you by flourishing. Remove yourself from toxicity and thrive as hard as you can just to leave the haters in the shitty place that you both intersected at, while you grow and blossom and evolve, and they are left the stagnant monkeys that they are.

        He won’t. Have you seen the shape he’s in? The constant bruising, the dementia, the falling asleep during meetings? He doesn’t have that long left.

          That’s what people have been saying for the past ten years. He’s still around and, unfortunately, has the best health care in the world. Not to say I’m not hopeful you’re correct, mind!

          Dementia takes a long time to kill people. Especially if they’re surrounded by caretakers and servants. Until they stop drinking and die of dehydration, it’s really only heart failure/ stroke or falls that kill them. I doubt someone so narcissistic has a DNR or end of life directives.

          It’ll be interesting to see how much longer he’ll be able to walk though. He’s unfortunately likely to finish out the term first.

            I have a feeling his health will take a rapid downturn after January 20 or so. Peter Thiel will want his puppet to go into the 2028 election with an incumbency advantage and a sympathy hook, and at that point, it won’t use up any of his constitutionally-permitted terms.

              Depends on if they think they can win without him. If they’ve rigged the congress enough to stay in power then they might just decide he doesn’t need to leave office, especially if Vance or whoever’s numbers don’t look good enough.
