-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ .

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I have a feeling Trump might give some sweet "eulogy" similar to his Colin Powell words when he died

If I have to live in this slowly increasing dystopia, I at least demand Orange Clown Man ritualistically embarrass his opponents (even people who were never really such) in life and death

I can absolutely guarantee when Bolton finally croaks, Trump's words on him are going to be golden. This is all I have to live for.

Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media," Trump said in a statement. "Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!

Talk about "perfect" phone calls. That's a perfect "fuck you" when a piece of shit just died and the media is riding his corpse still

Edit: Ok, I keep editing faster than a NYT editor when they're covering a fresh Israeli war crime...

But I just learned Bolton is younger than Trump (wtf???). He's "only" 76. Considering he appears to be healthier (who knows) than Trump, well, nature better not rob me. I need this.

Also, check this out from US News

Only a handful – such as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who angered Trump when the Kentucky Republican said Trump was morally responsible for the Jan. 6 insurrection – made more effusive remarks.

Eh? Eh? (Please god)

I hadn't seen or don't remember the Colin Powell analogy so I imagined it was basically the RBG one before I got to the quote.

Me too. But I'm nearly 100% certain that in McConnell's written final requests - he states that under no circumstances should Trump appear at any official event after his death and that Trump should not attend his funeral. But on the plus side - Trump will riff to journos to dance on McConnell's grave of so at least we'll have that. And I assume Trump will do that a few times.

Oh yeah, I did not mean a proper eulogy. Trump would never crawl his ass to a cemetery or whatever to degrade himself like that for McConnell. Maybe for Netanyahu. Definitely not any currently living American politicians that I can think of

I wish reporters had brains and interests like the rest of Americans. They could ask Trump today about McConnell's physical problems. The response would probably be gold.
