    I never wish anyone dead, but don’t expect me to shed tears over one of the architects of the destruction of the US.

        I feel like anyone saying otherwise (who doesn’t already LIKE these guys) is just lying. How could you not? “Oh just keep destroying the lives of hundreds of millions as long as I’m on my high horse never wishing you death” that’s not the moral take people think it is.

          Their death doesn’t solve the underlying problem. The problems are systemic. If his death just means he’s replaced by a similar asshole, that doesn’t solve anything. Wishing each other dead is not going to fix anything.

          But I also don’t wish anyone dead out of principle. I oppose the death penalty out of the same principle.

          I make one exception for Putin. He is the problem. His death would immediately prevent thousands of unnecessary deaths every day, in a way that Trump’s or Netanyahu’s death wouldn’t.

    It’s likely he’s dead and they’re hiding the fact. Can you imagine the jubilee that would happen today if it was reported he died, especially on Trump’s birthday?

      If it makes you feel better, he absolutely hates trump, because Trump jumped the gun and now it will likely fail long term.

      The stress of trump over the last decade, is likely what contributed to his heart attack and combined with Trump’s rush job is why he won’t live to see his plan come to fruitation.

      People forget that, none of what’s happening is Trump’s plan, he latched onto an existing plan and insisted the timelines were drastically moved up. And that’s probably what will save us, because if Paul Ryan had done half this shit as president it would have worked.

        I also think COVID and AI have fucked up the planning by putting negative pressure on the stability of the social order. I would not be surprised if they are seen similar to the Antonine plague and economic stagnation of Rome.

      It’s too late and he hasn’t. He’s sowed misery, hate and corruption and reaped money and power his whole life and now he’s dying at a ripe old age with zero consequences. His legacy won’t do well, but he himself has not had to suffer for all the destruction he’s caused to our country, our reputation, and to democracy worldwide.

        Yeah, movies make you feel like if you have a heart attack, they’ll get you back, but in reality 90% chance you don’t survive. Sometimes they can get your heart beating, but you still don’t come back, because no oxygen to the brain for too long.

      Not to mention that if an 84 year old man received chest compressions, he absolutely has at least one, likely several, broken ribs.

    And remember a few years ago this fucker also made so that if he left office for health reasons they have to appoint a Republican to replace him instead of having the choice to put either a Republican or Democrat in office.

    They’re keeping the corpse on life support to avoid getting clobbered in another special election. I thought the governor appointed them but that changed now it’s a special election.

      You don’t perform CPR on people who are breathing. He was dead for a while before he was found. No one knows for how long. He probably is still dead, they just don’t want to announce it for purely political reasons.

        He could have been resurrected. Happened to my great grandfather, he lived for another couple years after all the way to 92 though he was gone for too long and ended up degenerating for the last couple years. Funny enough he had to be physically stopped from just going at his cake on his 90th.

        Let’s hope this fuckwit is lacking in my the stubbornness of my great grandfather.

      That’s been the last decade at least of his role. His staff do everything and occasionally parade him out for photo-ops.

        oh yes, I am certain he won’t shed a penny for the absolute best care which may or may not bump people who need it more…
