I wish he’d get the same treatment for real

Ofc ofc ofc

When the fuck is his poor health/diet going to catch up with him? Him kicking the bucket would do the US a massive favour.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 8 months ago (2 children)

No matter how he dies, it will be turned into a conspiracy theory and his base will martyrize his stupid orange ass.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Maybe if it causes them to mobilize, that's an issue. More likely, though, they'll just write in his name for every election they vote in till they die.

Zero stones, they just keep flying in the window

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Mobilize to where? Arby's?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Exactly. Where and what are they going to do this time?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Let's hope so. I'm worried about a new fresh face coming in swearing to avenge him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not if it's from natural causes. And you better believe when it happens they have a plan to make sure most know it was a natural thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You really believe that whenever he dies, if it's from natural causes, that the maniacs in his base will believe that? I guarantee there will be conspiracy theories about it the instant the news breaks.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes. But they know that people die of old age. It's not that hard to prove.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Oh sure because trumpers are known for respecting evidence.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Rich people can afford a level of health care that us normies aren’t able to receive. All those pricey procedures and experimental medications can keep even the most withered turd alive. His father lived to 93, so if you go by that we have ~16 years left.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He was also a President. Which has even better healthcare. Many have lived extremely long lives.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Presidency ages people because they have the weight of the world on their shoulders. Trump's only ever had his own weight on his shoulders.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I think about this a lot

[–] [email protected] 61 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Cognitive dissonance time:

So, Donny, are you being treated unfairly or getting what you deserve?

[–] [email protected] 43 points 8 months ago

Soon as he dies in an arctic circle prison I'll agree with him.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If he wants, he can prove it and pay for his legal fees all in one go!

Pay-per-view it. He gets dosed with Novichok, if he survives then he gets sent to an arctic circle penal colony, if he survives 3 years of that, then he gets beaten to death by the guards.

How do I up vote a comment more than once?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Are you some kind of bot?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Wait wait, I thought he said Putin was chill

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Per a soviet saying he mastered the art of changing shoes on the fly, whatever fits him best at any given moment.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Putin is good but also it was cruel and unjust that he murdered his opponent. For Repubs, doublethink is as easy as eating potato chips.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago (3 children)

If Trump got the same treatment as Navalny, the normal people of the world would be celebrating right now.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Maybe they should send Trump to a Sibirian Gulag. Maybe the cold will clear the fog in his brain.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I had an agreement with some friends to charter a jet and head to the islands to celebrate if he either got perp walked out of the White House or died in office, to just really go nuts celebrating.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I say we give Trump his own television channel. Nothing on the channel but him and his 6x8, 23/7. Can you imagine? Apart from one hour a day while he's alone in the yard (other than his Secret Service agents), you could flip to Lockup: Trump Edition and just feel sooooo much better.

I would watch the fuck out of that. For a week or two. Then I'd get bored. So would everyone else. And we'd all stop watching by and large..."The Donald" fading into obscurity, withering away behind bars...no cell phone to tweet angrily on, no hamberders or well done steaks with ketchup, no visitors...not even his own kids. His ego deflating day by day, having to shit on a non-gilded toilet in full view of the guards, a cell full of books that he can't read. Then, one day, the channel ceases to exist, but no one notices. And, unaware if he is even alive or dead, we all collectively forget he exists and stop talking about him forever.

Can this fucker just do us a favor and keel over already?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

Don't threaten me with a good time.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Interesting hypothesis. Why don't you go ask Alexei whether he feels the same way? I'll wait while you get back with that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Or if you find him reticent, just volunteer for the same treatment and let us know, Trump.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

I'm pretty sure you're not a zombie, Donny.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not to be downplaying trump’s problems, but last night I had Mexican food, and the mole sauce was, like, totally worse than a $355 million fraud case.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Damn that’s wild. Can’t even remember the last time I had bad mole. Chin up bro.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Hey, Donald - be like Navalny.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Alright, climb into the fucking hole Donny

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

And here's a novichok snack in case you get hungry in there.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Or fall head first.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is there a trump-free space somewhere? I don't want to know anything about this idiot anymore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

On some lemmy apps I know you can set keyword filters

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Well he did not fault Putin so I guess that kind of means he is getting what he deserves.
