I hope this worthless piece of shit dies soon but I hope it is a slow painful, pathetic death not a merciful quick passing from the shithole this fascist will leave behind in his wake.
“And while the District seems tired, Trump seems more so,” Karem wrote. “It doesn’t even seem like the president is trying his hardest to lie to us anymore. He just repeats the same lies with less energy, as if he too has grown weary of his own rhetoric. He’s telling us to turn the page on the Epstein scandal. But he’s on that next page too.”
Even if he dies theyl just puppet his image with AI and magats will eat it up.
Place your bets on how long the white house staff “Weekend at Burnies”'s 47 after he actually kicks the bucket.
What’s the score up to so far?
Yeah they will just Ronald-Reagan-dementia-zombie trump around to do all of their cartoonishly evil shit
Um, that’s what’s already happening.
Throw some more leaves in the pool, Nancy
I was actually thinking of upcoming trump appearances being like the BTTF2 Max Headroom/Regan Cafe 80s scene.
No no no. Trump wasn’t Max Headroom. He was Biff! Yes, we ARE living in the bad timeline. Was that not clear to everybody?
Ha, that’s right. I had overlooked that thinking of how funny the max version of him would be.
Pretty sure this was a plot point in the movie Equilibrium.
I need to watch that again
It’s one of my favourite bad movies
They will “upload” his counciousness into “Digital AI” and MAGA won’t even miss a beat. It will be like an idiotic version of Max Headroom.
What consciousness are you talking about? There’s nothing to upload.
Ha! True, no personality.
I am picturing a shitty Chat GPT programmed with a bunch of Trump quotes spitting out Qanon style posts after Trump dies and all the MAGAts going crazy over thier digital MAGA lunatic leader.
So fitting that magats are attracted to shit.
No, Vance will take over, and that will be worse.
Given this entire Raw Story article is basically “and here’s what Karem said”: here’s what Karem said in the original Salon article.
Thank you that is a better link! I just switched the url to salon for this post because you are right there is no point reading the article I posted in comparison.
And Putin had terminal cancer. In 2022.
Well the thing is, if you are filthy rich and have such resources at your disposal, what is terminal for one person doesn’t have to be terminal to another. Medical science has come a long way, alas capitalism has ensured the best stuff is only available for the richest.
You might say hur dur I live in EU land and we have (almost) free top of the line healthcare. Yes, that’s true, hello fellow EU healthcare enjoyer. A close relative of mine still died while on a waiting list, as there were more patients than treatment options available. I’m not saying if they were rich they would have cut in line, but it does happen.
Rich people get treatments that aren’t even available to people on public health schemes like you.
They can and will pay for unapproved treatments that no one covers yet because they’re still experimental.
and sometimes the experimental treatments just let you in because they’re insanely dangerous.
He may not have cancer, but when interviewing Shoigu at the start of the war, he sure gripped that table like his bowels were about to fall out of his asshole. Something was definitely wrong with him health wise at the time.
There was a video shortly before 2022 from some ‘eternal fire’ ceremony or somesuch where Crabby had to take two steps down sideways. Was pretty entertaining to see.
My grandfather had terminal cancer for like 4 years as an upper middle class man in his 30s back in the early 1980s. So I could see someone with Putin’s influence being able to stave off the reaper for longer with modern medicine and effectively infinite resources.
And Parkinson’s, I thought, at some point?
He’s gonna be around for at least another decade, we’re not that lucky.
All bullshit until I see that flag burning and covered in shit at half-staff.
This isn’t exactly a high caliber news organization.
are you talking about raw story? OP changed the link to the original salon piece
Raw Story, yes.
are there any of those left?
The Atlantic does well. And remember, 2 reporters from there are the only reason we had daily, nationwide numbers on COVID when it hit. (The Reveal podcast has a 3 part series detailing those events.)
Pro publica. The PBS offerings by state. Frontline. Reveal.
There’s still something to be said for local news. Pull up hoa news on YT, as one example, you will get a wall of detailed, local news hoa stories.
How long can they pump the bellows on this over-inflated bag of shit before he pops?
He can take a LOT of pumping, I suspect.
Is he not golfing as much? That would be the tell. If he’s not obviously avoiding work to play around on the taxpayer dime then he might actually be ill.
This is a song goes out to the orange pedophile yelling from the balcony it’s called “We fucking hate you. Please die.”
The most dangerous time. When all the ghouls can do whatever they want under the guise of “mango is still in charge”. At least when the sofa king steps in, there’ll be one person to blame for evil policies
Just DEI already
What the fuck does **ex-**White House insider mean? Do you, by any chance, mean Guy Who Knows Fuck-All About the Current Ongoings in the White House?
Could mean that.
It could also mean someone that used to work there, no longer do, but still has friends there that tell them about the ongoing shit show.
I still talk to old coworkers and get updates about the crap going on at places I used to work. In a place like D.C. where maintaining networking and unofficial communication channels are the way a lot of things get done, this isn’t a stretch at all.
Most people don’t know this, but Weekend at Bernies was inspired by the Reagan presidency.
Oh great now we’re at the Kim Jong Il stage of his reign.
Some context for others here, Kim Il Sung is dead but is still technically the North Korean supreme head of state. He is the “Eternal President” with his successors deriving their notional authority to rule directly from him, but apparently officially deferring to his corpse should the question of precedence come up.
In case anyone was wondering, Kim Kong Il holds (not held) the slightly less exalted titles of “Eternal General Secretary” (of the worker’s party) and “Eternal Chairman” (of the national defense commission). Even though he is quite definitively also dead.
And while we’re at it, Francisco Franco is also still dead.
I was comparing with Kim jong-il because he was always very ill and they hid that especially towards the end.
Ah, yes. Same deal with Francisco Franco in Spain.
Presumably once Trump finally croaks he will not remain supreme leader. One can hope, anyway.
is he gonna point at stuff
he already does?
