Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I wanna see the fucker go down like a sack of potatos mid self-aggrandizing rant and the bonk of his head off the podium to be sampled into a thousand ebm tracks

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I miss '80s and '90s industrial music filled with sampled speeches too.

Probably why he posted an AI eulogy for Kirk

Damn, Moves the left hand then looks at the right not move. For a narcissist, trapped in your own body may just be the worst thing.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 33 points 5 days ago

Since he will never face any consequences for his actions, this is a reasonable second.

I hope he is suffering every moment of every day.

I don't know if it's completely AI...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q1N6Akpz9c

It feels more like a really really advanced filter. Which explains why he keeps his body almost perfectly still, to the point he holds his hands together the whole time.

Those filters don't like movement, but I've literally never seen him be so still before.

Like, he filmed it, that's actually trump in the video, then they ran a deep fake filter with him with a "better" face/hands. But so it wouldn't stick out, they ran the same filter over everything else, which is why everything looks AI in the video despite no plausible reason.

It's sounds tinfoily until you remember this is trump we're talking about, he's done way worse

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 45 points 5 days ago (4 children)

There’s oddness that’s also affecting the window in the background. You see it move around odd when he moves around odd.

He’s clearly covering his right hand.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 33 points 5 days ago

Oh shit, you're right. It goes dark. If you speed up the video to 2x and turn off the sound, his mouth is moving way to uniformly to be a real person.

Yes, the real one would be like, Charlie, great guy. Dead. Sad. I remember one time he said mister president, I really look up to you—may I see your collection of master locks?

We all want him gone, I'm just always gonna be sore we won't ever see him destitute and imprisoned. We shouldn't have had to rely on the inevitable to rid us of this human parasite.

[–] selkiesidhe@sh.itjust.works 63 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Maybe he'll suffer for a few months unable to get out of bed while getting to scroll through posts of death-wishes and people celebrating?

Would be nicer if he was handcuffed to said bed for the duration though-- for being found guilty of raping children since he is a child rapist who raped kids.

It shits me that the orange plague is going to die in comfort, surrounded by expensive doctors easing his symptoms. The pedophile cunt deserves ALL the suffering in the world, after the harm he has caused to humanity !

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

On the bright side, they can't call the fucker a martyr, and I'll finally get to pop the cork on my bottle of champagne.

[–] brem@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 days ago (2 children)

He's vain. If he really did have a stroke, and can comprehend the fact that people are making fun of his droopy crooked smirk; that is worse than prison for him.

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Right. He always made fun of the disabled. Didn’t want to be seen with them. Must be hell for him.

[–] troy_frizzell@mstdn.social 7 points 3 days ago

@brem @drhodl

Probably true, but am I selfish to want both?

Sorry to upset people thinking of him dieing soon, but they're going to sit him in a gold throne, kept barely alive, in suspended animation, then keep him alive and in charge for 40,000 years.

They'll use AI every time they want him to "say something".

[–] blx@lemmy.zip 30 points 5 days ago (4 children)

That's it, I'm jumping in the nearest warp storm.

Considering how much he likes golf, does this mean he’s taken some strokes off his game?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 35 points 4 days ago (2 children)

He had a stroke. COVID infected in at his age have double the chances of stroke later on.

He can talk to Charlie about how karma is a bitch.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Karma would have been him rotting in a prison cell for the last 40 or so years

Famous people always die three at a time. It's a rule....of three. Let's go #2!

And if this is from a stroke, $100 says that's where he was that weekend he "died".

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Lots of people, the best people in fact, are saying it was another mini stroke.

[–] Laser@feddit.org 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The best mini stroke they've ever seen.

I might have to agree.

Can’t wait to see trump wearing sunglasses and going everywhere with Hegseth and RFK Jr. propping him up as they walk around and pretend to have him whisper things in their ear that they relay to us.

They’ll probably just be boring and use AI, but I’m still hoping for a Weekend at Bernie’s.

Ma boy doesn’t look good at all. Time to prepare some champagne, just in case.

I hope him a slow and ludicrously insane painful death with much suffering.

Well, I wish him the worst, and hope for the slowest, most agonizing recovery for him.

[–] slampisko@lemmy.world 73 points 5 days ago (6 children)

What a vile sentiment. This is a human person that is a felon and a rapist and actively brings harm to marginalized people, and you wish him a recovery?!

So what happens to project 2025 when the mouth piece responsible for Trump's Gen Z support dies, Trump dies, and VP Couch Fucker becomes president?

I don't see a lot of people putting up with the Heritage Foundation's bullshit if the snake is rattleless and headless.

Come on guys, it's a bit mean to suggest he's had a stroke.

He could have simply shat his pants due to dementia, as is perfectly normal and healthy for the commander in chief of the most powerful military in the world to do.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Sooner he goes back to hell the faster we can fix his screwups

I don’t like him either.

But I do worry about what things would be like if he did die.

Vance is younger and more energetic. Something tells me it wouldn’t be good.

Serious question - given the changes in the US government recently, what are the odds a president JD Vance tries to continue the push toward authoritarianism?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 18 points 4 days ago

He's Thiel's blood boy. So 100%.

[–] Mamdani_Da_Savior@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

But here's my hope

Trump is the glue that holds MAGA together, if Trump dies we will have in fighting and hopefully MAGA falls apart. Therefore the sooner Trump dies, the better.

And dear FBI/Secret Service I mean by natural causes, like a stroke, or a heart attack
