If Trump dies, I’m taking the week off and going to the beach.
I have 80 days of paid leave here I am saving for the occasion
No joke, this administration will probably try to conceal his death for as long as possible through AI. They must be aware that he is their golden goose; neither Vance nor any of his other ilk have the same cult leader status as he does.
No need for Ai. Just “Weekend at Bernie’s” him. He’s always asleep anyhow.
Maybe he’s already dead?
Get one of those chinese robots and a skilled operator and they could get the gig going for a number of years.
Our president sleeps like 4 hours a night, Biden needed naps throughout the day and a full night sleep
You talking about Biden? Lol
Absolutely! Keep sending some tweets, make some slop videos of him conquering lands and peoples. Maybe even a televised press conference that only has his inner circle “live”. You could probably milk a couple of years out of AI garbage, by which time the worst sorts will have figured out their ascendency plans
State of the Union Address could get a bit awkward
I wonder if it’s easy or difficult to write something incoherent enough?
Maybe we get lucky and he goes publicly!
Live during a 4th of July address he steps up to the mic and opens his mouth to speak, then sharts very loudly as his eyes roll back in his head and his tongue lolls out.
i’m guessing that i would hear the cheers and fireworks regardless of my state of consciousness, even in this maga red small town.
That reminds me, I need to buy my celebration whiskey…
Make sure it’s not American lol
I went with Jefferson’s Ocean, if you’re fishing for premium recommendations. I’ve had it only once a few years ago and it’s the best bourbon I’ve ever had, but it’s pricey.
If you’re into complex, smokey scotches, I’m a big fan of Ardbeg Uigeadail. It’s harsh if you don’t know what to expect, but it’s a top tier steak dinner in every sip if you like Lagavulin 16. Also very pricey, but a bottle literally lasts me 6-24 months because of its potency and “special” factor. I make it last.
For something half the price but still great value, I like Woodford Reserve or Four Roses Small Batch or Old Forester (especially 1920 Prohibition). Idk your budget, so absolutely no shame in celebrating within your means. But for the love of God, stay away from the travesty that is Johnny Walker red label. Utter trash, and usually around the price of Woodford anyway. You can’t find decent scotch for less than $65 these days, so don’t bother.
Cheers!
Sweet, thanks for the info! I had some Red a number of years ago when a buddy grabbed it from a duty free shop and was excited to share it. We ended up mixing it with a mexican coke. Very much a “thanks this is terrible” moment.
Thanks for the suggestions! I currently have a bottle of Ardbeg An Oa which I thoroughly enjoy and just recently got to try the Lagavulin 16, fantastic stuff.
I have a bottle of johnny walker blue label that I’ve been saving for the collapse, but I suppose I could use it for that, and buy another one for the collapse.
Blue is good and smooth, but the cost is beyond what I would pay for any bottle. But to each their own. Somebody once put a fistful of ice into a glass and poured me some and I cringed so goddamn hard. At least try it neat when you open yours, and if you pour any for anybody else, ask how they’d like it. I believe that it doesn’t need to be mellowed by ice. Might as well have just been Jameson at that point lol. No shade intended, but just save your money if you can’t tell the difference.
I’ve had it before. It’s $25 a shot in bars around here. $50 or $60 in KC and Chicago.
Also Jameson is fine without ice as well.
Yeah I need to put a floating holiday onto my calendar. We’re getting into that “its a non-trivial statistical chance he’ll die any day now” range…
Im not american, Im not in the US, I want to receive that SMS too
It should be celebrated every year, like a global holiday with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, political speeches, and ceremonies to celebrate the day the world were no longer subject to Donald Trump and the world once again would be united and free.
I got you fam
There’s a clip of a music radio station being interrupted by the death of Prince Phillip, and as soon as the announcement is over, it drops a wicked bass.
I want more of that when the tangerine tyrant goes.
It was the BBC, the national public broadcaster. Not just some radio station.
My parents have a bottle of champagne in their fridge labeled “When he’s gone”
I’ll just drink whatever is in my house.
The food delivery industry will be heavily strained that day
So excited for President JD Vance
Amber alert scared the shit out of me the one time I was in the US.
I was on my way back, just finished boarding, checking I had everything and suddenly my phone was vibrating louder than it ever did and it scared the shit out of me.
“AMBER ALERT SOME FLIPPING PERSONS NAME”
Yeah dude, I’ll get on that as I end up 7k miles away
They’re state-wide, and I live in Texas. I don’t want to bea heartless, but I super can’t do anything about something 400 miles away.
And most of the time it’s custody battle bullshit, or a 16yo running off with their 19yo boyfriend.
Me: gets amber alert on phone
Me: looks around for the victim or suspect; sees nothing
Me: “Well, I’ve done all I can.”
That’s all you’re really expected to do, be a momentary observer along with thousands of others all over the place. We don’t have, and don’t want, enough cops to look everywhere. But if by chance that license plate is right in front of you in traffic, or that man and toddler who just did a complete change of clothes in the bathroom (not suspicious behavior in itself) were originally wearing clothes that matched the description, you can call the number on your phone. Normal custody battles don’t get elevated to an Amber alert.
Jerry: The whole concept of the wanted poster has gotta be the most wildly optimistic crime-fighting idea. I mean, so how does it work? Okay. I’m on line at the post office. I see the guy. I see the list of offenses. I check the guy standing in line behind me. If it’s not him, that’s pretty much all I can do. Okay? It’s not that I don’t want to help. You know the annoying thing is, why didn’t they hold on to this guy when they’re taking his picture? “No, we don’t do it that way. We take their picture and we let them go. That’s how we get the front and side shot. The front is his face. The side is him leaving.”
But wouldn’t it have been amazing if you’d realized they were sitting in the same row as you, trying to traffic that kid out of the country?
Yes it’s annoying, and ten thousand people will only spend 5 seconds looking around them, but that’s a lot of eyes, in every direction, and with no warning for them to hide.
it can be disabled on android, look under emergency broadcasts or wireless emergency alerts
I am not familiar with Amber alert as i don’t live in the USA, but this kind of alert can be enforced to ring, so it may work for Amber alert but not work for things like eartquakes, tsunami etc etc
It depends on the country tho
thanks, I’ll go back in time to 2018 for the only trip to the us I ever took. :P
your comment is useful for other people, I just wanted to make a joke
With work issuing phones and all of us with personal phones, it’s a cacophony when someone gets abducted 2 days’ travel away.
And the UI basically hides the message the millisecond your blurry, panicked self grabs the phone going off at 3am trying to just shut off the fucking noise and you never see the message anyway.
Bit of a failure, if you ask me.
Don’t forget fireworks along with that special bottle
I’ve been meaning to drive into PA to buy some loud fireworks for that great day so my neighbors can witness my elation.
I’m saving a PTO day for the day when it happens!
Absofuckinlutely. Yes please.
I smoked my last celebratory cigar when Charlie died. I’ll need to get something more for trump
