I’m going to celebrate when he dies
There’s an old Soviet joke:
A man goes to a newspaper stand every day, buys a copy of Pravda, glances at the front cover, curses, and throws it away.
After a few weeks of this the seller just has to ask what’s going on: “why do you always look at the cover but never inside?”
“I’m looking for an obituary.”
“An obituary? But those are in the back!”
“Oh no, the obituary I’m looking for will be on the front page.”
Definitely. But don’t count on things automatically getting better after. Too many other unsavory characters waiting in the wings
My hope is the power vacuum rips them to shreds. Their unity is so fragile
That and none of them have the charisma to take over Trump’s cult of personality.
Same
New years was a practice round. The moment I see he’s dead in the news I’m banging pots and pans and cheering at the top of my lungs.
I have a bottle of champagne with his name on it. Gonna be a good fucking day.
Ewwww
Everything with his name on it is shit
Counterexample: his tombstone.
It’s still gonna have shit on it. Gender neutral bathroom.
If it’s publicly accessible uncountable bathroom breaks will be had there. I highly doubt it will be though. He absolutely knows people despise him deeply. He’s kind of made it his personality to ensure that.
We need a people’s Trump memorial restroom. Actually you could probably make money with one if you’re in a blue city with decent foot traffic. Just stick some of his photos in the urinals and toilets and set aside plenty of money for cleaning supplies.
Can’t get impeached if you don’t let people vote.
How is this patriotism? Constitution, hello??
He’s not a patriot, he’s a power hungry man-child and he’s called for the dissolution of the Constitution because it’s in the way of him holding into power.
The midterms are definitely getting cancelled. US citizens need to go all in in opposing this. General Strike now before it’s too late.
He cannot cancel elections. Elections are state run, congresspeople’s terms still end, and there is no law that says otherwise. We can just go the fuck ahead without him.
While you are correct, on paper, what you’re describing is just some words on a paper that this administration absolutely does not give a single shit about.
We’ve never seen anything like what’s happening here in the states before. Never. This hasn’t happened once in the history of the country.
But it has happened in similar ways in other countries. Using those as an example, we should be very, very, very concerned that he’s absolutely going to cancel the midterms somehow. I guarantee it.
And if I’m wrong, then thank fucking god. I’d absolutely love to be wrong about this.
But world history says otherwise.
Okay and when he refuses to honour those elections? What then? He tried to overthrow the government last time he was told to leave. This time he IS the government. He isn’t leaving.
Yeah, if he canceled the midterms there’d be a lot of State turmoil. It would probably end the United States as we know it and break us up into smaller countries. Been waiting for that kind of outcome forever but not exactly like this.
He cannot cancel elections. Elections are state run
for now.
Hold the election anyways and send him straight to jail when he doesnt leave office
If the US has midterms, Trump will be in lame duck status. This was supposed to be a power check for any president, but they are working hard to not allow any elections.
Damn he is so desperate to get people talking about anything but the Epstein files.
I’m curious - what difference do you really think the release of the Epstein files is going to make? People have made it clear they’re okay with pedophilia and child abuse, as long as “the good guys” are the diddlers. So what difference is the full release of the Epstein files going to make to the average 10-second-attention-span propaganda buyers, really?
That’s just a bonus.
What Trump really wants is “justification” to turn the military on his enemies. I’ve seen so many people say “He doesn’t need an excuse,” but right now, he and the people around him clearly still think he does and they’re itching for one. So they keep trying to manufacture it with these ICE escalations hoping the “Radical Left” will start a violent riot they can crack down on and he can finally truly be the Strongman he’s always wanted to be.
Has the invasion of Greenland been scheduled yet? I’d like to mark my calendar
Last I read Trump said it was to be talked about in two months or in twenty days. He said both these things in consecutive sentences, so who the fuck knows. It’ll have to be before the midterms regardless.
My prediction is early February
“How we have to even run against these people. Now, I won’t say, ‘Cancel the election. They should cancel the election,’ because the fake news will say, ‘He wants the elections canceled. He’s a dictator.’”
Now obviously trump is a fascist and an awful president and all that, but in all fairness this article did exactly what he said they’d do.
He’d loose, that’s why.
He’s not even allowed to run
Have you seen some of the “fixes” they have proposed for that?
My favorite is that they’re gonna claim that Trump actually won in 2020, that this is actually already his 3rd term and thus he can continue to run because they’ve already invalidated the Two Term Limit.
Which is obviously stupid and not happening. the two to watch out for are him running as VP and the one where they elect him speaker and then double resign.
Those are definitely the infinitely more likely ones, yeah. Especially considering that as I understand it from other discussions on the various Speakership fights, the Speaker of the House does not even need to be Member of the House of Representatives.
I’m of course just talking about the one that holds a special place in my heart because it makes me laugh at how utterly deranged these fuckers are. Especially because you just know that even knowing that the two you mentioned are infinitely more likely, Trump probably himself wants to do the one I was talking about more because it erases his loss and massages his ego.
But yes, you are correct that the ones where they cheat him into office using the succession rules are far more likely to be the fix if he doesn’t manage to suspend elections entirely.
All fair enough. It would be extremely himself how stupid and deranged these people are if they weren’t doing everything they could, and succeeding, in running people’s lives, including my own. I didn’t mean to be harsh on you is that’s how it came across
Nah you’re good, I didn’t think you were coming at me with any of that. It is admittedly not as funny as it would be without all of -gestures vaguely at everything- THIS shit going on right now. I was just trying to get some joy where I can find it within the horrors y’know? Gotta keep from burning out somehow right?
He wasn’t even allowed to run this time per the constitution.

He is just 24/7 vomiting distractions for the Epstein files at this point.
he really desperate to hide his epstein files, being named hundreds of times per page, and his billionaire owners are pressuring him as well.
