      Yeah and if the CK thing was any indicator of how it’ll go, the administration will milk it for all it’s worth. It’ll be gross.

        I hope he dies in the stupidest, self-owning way possible, like tripping over his own feet and falling down some stairs. Preferably on camera.

            During one of his dumb speeches in front of a crowd of MAGA idiots … right in the middle of making one of his dumb statements, just suddenly stops, stares into space and falls over.

              Preferably saying something stupid like “Folks, let me tell you something — if I’m wrong, if the Republican Party is wrong — and by the way, we’re not — but if we were wrong, then may God strike me down right now! But it’s not gonna happen, because we’re doing what’s right for America. Believe me.”

              Love to see how they would try to spin that being his last words.

              as long as there are elvises (heart attack while eating something nasty and then shitting oneself, then dying) involved and it’s on camera, i’ll win a bet

          I was thinking he could be so constipated from eating junk fast food that he farts himself to death sitting on the toilet. 🚽

          Definitely on camera. I want that still shot of his twisted head at an unnatural angle, his tongue hanging out, and his lifeless eyes looking in two different directions.

          Put THAT on on the cover of Time.

          Oh definitely the stairs, since that’s the “frail old man” tell that he seems most afraid of. And with nobody anywhere near him, and on a beautiful clear day with no wind and no sun in his eyes.

          It has to be clear as day that it was a failure of his body and not foul play or trickery.

            An escalator that’s temporarily stairs? Nah, then they’ll blame whoever turned it off.

          Honestly I don’t see that happening. Even with his passing, that really doesn’t change anything. The administration is still there, and 2nd in line is couch-fucker vance. The foundation for their plans are already in place, and quite frankly, Taco has served his purpose with his popularity declining.

          The administration will just use any uprising as a reason to mobilize more troops in the name of safety or whatever. I really wish I’m wrong though.

              It is well understood how he does it. Go watch the documentary Bad Faith. The CNP (Council for National Progress, the group that founded the heritage foundation), has been supplying priests and pastors talking point for 50 years. The CNP told the priests what to say, the priests tell people to follow trump. boom, cult.

              I’m fairly certain when djt checksout, the cult will be gifted to JD and business will continue.

              JD doesn’t have the political capital Trump has had which has been the reason Trump gets away with shitting in the faces of everything and everyone.

              Trump isn’t going to share the Russian kompromat that he has on the GOP in Congress with Vance. Russia didn’t hack the RNC for shits and giggles.

            There will still be an enormous national celebration, and the remaining administration will watch it in terror.

            They are likely to use that reaction to respond with violence, but it won’t last. American citizens, both Democrat and MAGA, won’t accept the new government. There isn’t a single MAGA voter that cares about JD Vance at all. He may get their reluctant support as Republicans, but he won’t get it as MAGAs.

            After Trump croaks, the Republican party will almost certainly splinter.

        CK was supposed to be the big Horst Wessel martyr that they could build support around, but nobody cared. They all played it up for a week or two, but once they stopped flogging it, it disappeared.

        Their “Flood the Zone” strategy works when something sticks, and they can amplify it. But MAGA seems to have a systemic case of ADHD, so nothing lasts more than a week, before they are chasing the next outrage perpetrated by the Conservative Propaganda Machine.

        Nobody even talks about his “assassination attempt” any more, but that’s probably because it was obviously a hoax, and they don’t want anyone pulling to hard on that thread.

      I keep a special bottle of alcohol on display for this day. There is going to be such a party all over the nation… It’s going to be wondrous.
