I hope his grave will be accessible to the public. Then I can leave a bouquet of stinkweed on it and rig up some kind of squirter hose so I can spray pee on it. ---

> [@BobLibDem](#): > > I hope his grave will be accessible to the public. Then I can leave a bouquet of stinkweed on it and rig up some kind of squirter hose so I can spray pee on it. I said a while back that we could eliminate the national debt by charging people to piss on Trump’s grave. I figure we do it on a sliding scale. Someone like Hillary would probably pay a fortune for the privilege, but we also want to allow access for the workers who went bankrupt when Trump stiffed them. ---

Yeah, this is a moment to look thoughtful(\*) and like you are being supportive of someone in a hard time. Not for looking like another campaign selfie. I hope the kid grows up to ask Uncle “what the Hell were you thinking?” > [@dasmoocher](#): > > When Trump’s funeral does occur, I can guarantee it won’t be like any other President’s or like someone well-respected like John McCain’s. Imagining that when the day comes suddenly the Capitol rotunda and National Cathedral are in the middle of emergency repair work that just came up in the last 12 hours and can’t be delayed or we lose the building… (\*I know, I know…) ---

I’ll go straight to salting the earth. Or do a Bin Laden on him. Right out of the back of a C-130, preferably in the Antarctic Ocean. (or perhaps NASA could use him as a payload test) It would be best to not have his DNA left anywhere on earth. Only way to be sure. ---

> [@anomalous1](#): > > What am I seeing here that is incorrect and/or terrible? Perhaps your interpretation of it is slightly different. > What exactly is he supposed to be doing in a situation like that? You know it’s really okay, when the president (or anyone else you support) does something really heinous or stupid or shockingly inappropriate, to express a tiny bit of disapproval. It just means you’re still partly human, and won’t endanger your position as Kool-Aid Slurping Bootlicker in the All-Volunteer Orange Assclown Army. ---

I understand what you’re saying, but he’ll be dead so he won’t get any enjoyment out of it. Since he hasn’t done _anything_ to make the world better while he is alive, we should use his death to improve things. Maybe instead of using the pissing-on-his-grave fee to raise funds for the national debt, we could use the money to pay for universal health care. Also, the Washington Memorial is a majestic obelisk, the Lincoln Memorial is an inspiring statue, the Trump Memorial would be a public urinal. It’s a win-win. ---

I do like the idea of a public urinal. Gonna need new infrastructure to support this idea. I’ve read five or six books about Kim Jong Un. A monster in human clothing. Kinda weird when it gets close to home. Trump, though, isn’t the same kind of monster. He is a stupid, manipulatable asshole that doesn’t care about anyone but himself of course. But I don’t think he would enjoy watching people tortured. He would of course endorse it if it got him another golf course. Is that true? I don’t know. But it is the persona he projects, and the policies he supports. The ‘man’ has not had an original idea in his entire life. To ignore history will allow it to repeat. ---

He himself is a Trump supporter and brought the child there specifically to show his support.

A “leader” with even a drop of integrity would recognize how somber such a situation is, and would express anything other than enthusiastic cheer for the photo op.

Like his sons grinning vapidly over some dead African beast, Trump and Melania grinned over this baby, using the child as yet another trophy in their race war. ---
