So y was everyone so appalled that someone “tried” to assassinate him and shame people that wish that didn’t fail? I’m only happy he wasn’t made into a martyr by these sick people
I will no longer watch the news. After decades of supporting WaPo, I’ve canceled my subscription; the censorship of Ann Telnaes was my red line. Bezos is destroying ‘my paper.’ I will now support the Guardian and NYT. Also a fan of AP. Maybe I’ll train for a marathon again.
*****Please consider a boycott of Amazon or reduce using it when possible. It is the one way I can send a tiny message to one of the billionaire tech bros who are controlling our lives.******
I dumped WaPo and NYT in Dec of 2023. In all this time I haven't missed either one of them.
Instead, I am subscribed to The Guardian, I also read Al Jazeera, BBC, ProPublica and enjoy reading certain investigative reporters like Seth Abramson.
Thanks for this. Leaving WaPo was difficult for me so I’m glad to hear your take. I’m not all that thrilled with the NYT either so I may be doing the same. Have a great day. We’ll get through this…I think.
I can honestly say that I will say something like "good" or "finally" when that day comes. I will deal with my sins when I go. For now, fu@k that idiot and all who believe in his bullshit.
Not sure if you're talking about Trump or Poilievre but if nature would take that turn, I wouldn't be disappointed in either outcome even if they both occurred at the same time.
I'm hoping for a debilitating and painful prolonged sickness. I'm not sorry for saying this. I'm dealing with cancer myself and I've never disrespected or hurt anyone.
My choice as well. A drooling, incontinent, and rotting but still aware enough to know he’s lost his faculties and control. And don jr and Eric on diaper duty.
A stroke in the brain stem leaves cognitive function intact, but destroys motor control. The person is aware of everything around them, but has no way to communicate.
The problem with that is,Trump is a front man for the oligarchy. If he is removed that leaves us with Vance. Vance is even more unqualified than Trump, which would result in an increase of the influence of people like Musk.
I will put my money on bbq stock when that day comes. People will have the biggest Thoughts and Prayers themed BBQs. Was allegedly heard from the crowd.
I would argue that it is...As shown in any election Trump is not in, there are cult-members that will ONLY support him. And Vance isn't even that popular in Ohio.
I would posit that his support is not strong enough to cancel elections. I know that's the warning etc, but he didn't even get to 50%. I realize they are using Hungary as a model but Orban does not have the population we do so a lot of the things he does to buy support won't work here.
They only agree bc they fear/need his supporters. If that support starts to wane, and it will, they will drop him. He is not competent enough to pull off an authoritarian regime. And, again, won't have the purse power to bribe enough people to stay on board. GOP will lose in 2026.
No Vance has little to zero political pull and Power with his brand and name and influences across the country and globe. Trump on the other hand, the guy is far far more dangerous on the loose. Vance is a weenie ultimate proportions
Trump won't see the halfway point of his term. He'll be dead from dementia or a fall from a high window. The oligarchs used him to get the presidency, but the decomposing yam is too volatile and erratic to control. Hence, they need Vance, the smokey-eyed, easily manipulated Nazi, to take over.
I fear it's ineffectual when the majority of the country populace itself is rotten. I include non-voters. Empire in decline. It'd be like trying to save Rome from itself.
Consider this. If Hitler had been assassinated the competent generals would have taken over and WWII would have ended differently. With tRump in power he wont let anybody else run things (think back to the redrawn hurricane map) he wants to put his stamp on every thing.
It’s gonna be a tough 4yrs
I think the ‘trump is literally Hitler’ schtick is wearing thin.
AFAIK he hasn’t invaded Poland, France, the Netherlands, Northern Africa or anything quite that drastic yet. Not sure if he’s been torpedoing shipping in the Atlantic, but the news is pretty thin.
Left-leaning people don't like to talk about it but Trump really is an angel compared to someone like Hitler. Both are undoubtedly fascist (or at least extremely close to one in Trump's case) but he will not leave anywhere near as big an impact as Hitler has in history.
When tRump wanted to shoot BLM protesters in the legs shows how his thought process works, he could easily turn the military on any set of folks doesn’t like. My analogy of tRump v Hitler wasn’t about what they actually did just how they wanted complete control, overriding any one who objected
I also think that the key difference between Hitler and Trump is that Hitler didn't just want to be Chancellor and Führer, he wanted to enact his vision and change the world. Trump is in love with the idea of presidency and living lavishly, not shaping the world to fit his desires.
Trump really piggybacks off of a lot of America's darker views that a shocking amount of the population holds while Hitler wanted to change things based on his *own* political views. If the majority of Americans unequivocally supported trans rights, Trump would too, I have no doubt about it.
If Hitler would have been assasinated the Reich would have collapsed because there would have been no one leftxwith such charisma...or you think a JD fucking Vance will do the job? Give me break
Your analogy depends on when Hitler would have been assassinated. In 1944, it'd have hardly mattered - Europe was already divided between Western appeasers and Soviet dictator. In 1940, indeed competent leaders wouldn't have attacked the US and USSR, and would have won in their part of Europe.
I don't think it's as clear-cut as "Hitler was an extremely poor tactician so replacing him would be a boon to the Reich." Wiser decisions might have been made but I think it's important to remember how Hitler was a figurehead that people could rally for. Removing him destabilises the regime.
If prayer worked, no one would be POTUS since every election, regardless of the winner, has tens of thousands to several million of every imaginable faith pleading to the heavens for divine intervention
Yes, although he’s the least of our worries now. If he had been stopped ten years ago, it would be something different, but now there are a whole line of true believers waiting to take his place, and much more stable then he is. It doesn’t look good for the next four years.
I don't just want him dead. I want it to happen on live TV. His cult will claim he was murdered regardless of circumstance but a massive coronary during inauguration or seeing his head pop like a balloon would be extremely satisfying given we're being denied the joy of his incarceration.
Just think that Pennsylvania roof guy just another inch or so right to the right hand side. And that thing splatters all over taking out half of his damn Dome. Just like JFK riding in that limo. That's how close that high powered rifle round was from making 100 million people happy

Apologies in advance... 😬
I think Guinea worm would be appropriate, what with President Carter’s recent passing.
At this point I’ll take what we can get.
The one saving grace with Trump is that he is a moron, and half of his upcoming cabinet are clowns and asskissers. They don't know how to destroy USA.
Ketamine kills, too. Silver linings...
Nothing merciful
Why not all of those assholes.
Please continue eating those nutritious hamburgers 🍔🍟 & croak ASAP! It will save Democracy & world peace! ✌️🕊️
However we're stuck with him, and either the oligarchs will buy him an election after Trump, or they will just cancel elections.
I fully expect after President Musk decides that he's tired of Trump, they'll 25 amendment him (cabinet of billionaires)
And Vance gets a free pass
Authoritarians don't need support. The only need the party to agree. And I don't see Lindsay, Mitch, or Ted throwing up any roadblocks.
Can’t wait.
It’ll be the most delicious drink we’ve ever tasted.
"Yesterday, Donald Trump finally made good on a promise to 'make the world a better place,' by leaving it."
Someone would take his place.
It’s gonna be a tough 4yrs
AFAIK he hasn’t invaded Poland, France, the Netherlands, Northern Africa or anything quite that drastic yet. Not sure if he’s been torpedoing shipping in the Atlantic, but the news is pretty thin.
Pretty shithouse comparison, really
They may have to bury him at sea á la Bin Laden to prevent the coming desecration.

Click.
We're heading into a downward spiral while the rest of the world lines up to take our spot. We're destined to be a third world country.
Thank our spineless and corrupt leaders for this.
Holding his head up high
Surely he belongs in a dump
Oh my, oh my, OH My!
If he’s dancing to Thiel’s tune, MAGA will disappear.
I’ll put my special think cap on! Lol
Sláinte! Salud! 🍻
moron. He doesn't qualify as a human or animal but a monster.
