US Politics, November 2019: These people are truly sick.

Oh, why not.

FAKE DEATH

Where's the death certificate?

If he's not dead he should prove it by dying.

Trump has no public availability tomorrow either.

It’s almost like they’re hiding a medical emergency, or something. 🤫

what if someone punched all of his teeth out

thad!

Musta been some hot dog roller!

I am conflicted because I want him to die painfully, sure. But I want him to be humiliated first (electorally or otherwise). Having him die now lets him off too easy.

Plus the MAGA chuds will regard him as a martyr and do all kinds of Lost Cause "if only the democrat party and the media (but I repeat myself) hadn't hounded him, he would have achieved true greatness." Personally, I don't just want them to be disappointed, I want them to realize why and, preferably, to feel bad about it. I know it's a silly thing to want, but yeah: I want the chuds to realize that they have been wrong. And the enablers to regret their enabling.

Dead Trump would be great and all but it wouldn't scratch my itch to see him and his minions suffer and, ideally, regret their choices

^this

Over/under on number of terrifying gigantic Trump statues, modeled after the Ben Garrison Trump, will straddle red state freeways in 20 years?

I, too, want a pony and a million dollars for my birthday.

Trumpeters are never going to regret their choices; America is never going to get that closure no matter what.

The best we can hope for is they'll turn his back on him after he disappears from the public sphere, as they did with GWB. They had their authoritarian father/messiah figure for 4-5 years, and then they'll turn to the next useful idiot that speaks their language.

I feel like GWB was more a puppet of the GOP culture at the time, whereas Trump has remade the GOP in his own image, and they're only along for the ride because they're afraid of jumping out of the car at 90 mph

more failed attempts by Trump to win Congressional and Gubernatorial elections are needed for the GOP to say "Fuck it, we don't need this guy" and stop worrying about pissing him off.

Since there won't be another general election until November 2020, there aren't likely to be opportunities for the GOP to lose any congressional seats or governorships until then, at which time it makes more sense to work for turning Trump out of office than waiting for the GOP to turn on him.

precisely

really wanna know what goatse.cx type photograph Trump has of Lindsey Graham

you could ask them, but you may have to wait a while for an answer

Always. I have a sneaking suspicion we're probably not going to like the guy they ultimately/eventually decide is a better bet than Trump

Really think that a widely disseminated 'Trump is Dead' conspiracy theory stands a good chance of stopping large numbers of chuds from voting for him.

trump is dead man miss him miss him

Isn't this the plot of the movie Dave

First lady not recognizing the switch definitely most plausible detail of that film

let's make it more a weekend at Bernie's amirite

Gonna go long on Weekend at Bernie's jokes

The one thing this leaves out is the fact that the people who are likely to think he is dead will also simultaneously think he is alive, and have no contradiction or dissonance between these two thoughts. Contradictory 'underlying' truths can coexist where tangible truths cannot.

Yeah, maybe I should rephrase and say it's the *best* chance of getting some of his base to peel off. Like, I'm sure it'd be easy to get about two thirds of Trump's voters to believe that he's dead and being impersonated by a Soros-deep-state crisis actor, but most of that 40% would still vote for him anyway lol

Most of that two-thirds, rather

Yeah i revised my estimate upwards after thinking about it for a couple seconds lol

schrodinger's chud

Whatever, Fake Trump better than Crooked Hillary Substitute! Better dead than red!

damn, just heard that Trump died. that sucks y'all RIP

lol @ bizarro gazzara

I didn’t always agree with him, but you have to admit, he was “larger than life,” in the manner of a hurricane or plague. RIP Big D.

I half-suspect there is a planned Epic Troll Move to nominate Nikki Haley, Elyse Stefanik, or Sarah Palin just to trigger libs by nabbing the "first woman presidetn" title away from progressive feminists.

I'm sure it'd be easy to get about two thirds of Trump's voters to believe that he's dead and being impersonated by a Soros-deep-state crisis actor

The impostor that we now call "Paul McCartney" says he isn't busy and is willing to wear a ridiculous wig.

turn me on dead maga

House of Representatives is now investigating whether Trump lied to special counsel Robert Mueller in written answers he provided in the Russia investigation, the House's general counsel told the DC circuit Court of Appeals Monday.

Answer: yes, he did get his dick stuck in the 7-11 hot dog warmer. Again.

He said his favorite book was The Giving Tree

In reality, it's he can't read

you can do it like this and walk away:

"A few months ago, I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not."

Easy. Peasy. With a bunch complicit assholes and ride-or-die marks.

well, ronnies wasnt sworn i guess

thread title apparently was an omen

I'm probably not the right one to complain, given my slipshod editing and poor writing on ilx, but I just rolled my eyes at this opening paragraph in an email message from a local candidate.

Long before I became a candidate for the U.S. Senate, I was a teacher -- for ten years actually. The education of our youth is so unbelievably important to me, and it breaks my heart when our kids are robbed of any opportunity to learn and reach their full potential.

At the level of an associate vice president of student affairs, say.
