I have no new photos to offer—but there should be a flood of them starting tomorrow, when his Dallas “GOP Convention But Actually Celebration of Donald” starts.
Who knows—he may come out as a redhead!
What would be the cutoff date before Vance would be eligible for a second full term?
It’s outlined in the 22nd Amendment, and based on how much of his predecessor’s term is remaining when he takes office. If he were to take over with two years or less remaining on Trump’s current term, he could legally serve two full terms; if he takes over with more than two years remaining, he could only legally serve one full term.
So, the break point would be January 20th, 2027, which is when Trump will have served two years on his current term, and have exactly two years remaining on his term.
What’s dying is this thread. There were multiple posts daily for over a year until 2 weeks ago. I miss daily reminders of his demise.
The less he appears and speaks in public, the less there is for us to speculate about.
If only the media would continue the blackout, regardless of what the SC says. Be over in 2 weeks max.
I’ll admit I got a tiny little rush when I saw new posts on this thread. One of these days, it will be true. The man can’t live forever.
Dying is one thing. Killed is another. I’m very afraid of going to an NCAA Football game where he’s attending like today. With everything going on, no chance I’d be near the place. Not any supporting role in a GOP senate or house race. You can’t convince me that this administration is at all prepared for an assassination attempt, before or after his reign is over.
That was not the case with old wattleneck McConnell, speculation, mostly extremely optimistic speculation, ran wild.
One the one hand, the less Trump appears in public (let alone speaks in that appalling drone) the better it is for humanity, on the other, many people wish he would very publically fall down the stairs of Airforce 2.0 and somehow land up upside-down in a dumpster fire that someone had carelessly left at the end of the red carpet.
Some things, after all, should be public.
Oh, Scudsucker, you have come very close to my wish for Trump’s demise. Well not, perhaps, my wish, since part of me still thinks it wrong to wish someone else ill. Let’s just say that if there is any justice in the world, then the following is the way that such an evil man, such an aggregate of all that is wrong and loathsome, will leave this life. Here is the scenario:
Trump is standing at the top of the stairway, waving or some such.
His adult diaper has a containment failure, which he either doesn’t notice or ignores.
Some portion of the stool travels down his pant leg and falls to the step below. Where he steps on it as he descends, and slips.
His feet go dramatically out from under him, and he hits his head HARD, causing a non-survivable brain injury.
The benefits of this scenario are that A) Trump is out of office and incapable of further evil. B) The death is public and easily understood, giving no chance for his whacko followers to view it as any sort of conspiracy. C) The investigation and public focus on his frequent pooping of his pants will be a permanent part of how he is remembered.
Has anybody checked to see if Billy Mumy can still wish people off to the cornfield?
They won’t need any reason or justification, the CTs will grow like mushrooms on a dead log. It won’t help with the wackos, but your scenario would satisfy most normal people.
I love that for him!
Exactly. When people have invested this much of themselves that far from reality, they require conspiracies. Any video would be branded a hoax.
Only once?
“The Democrats shit in his pants!”
Huh? That sounds wacky as all get out.
The SS is about as prepared as always for presidential security. To the degree trump or his handlers expect he’s at greater risk, they’ll work even harder. The rest of the Fascist grifting gravy train depends on trump staying in power at least to the end of this term, if not beyond. Now trump himself is obviously a buffoon. But the people riding him into backstage positions of power for themselves are not.
As to the idea that some random civilian is at any material risk for simply being e.g. 1/4 mile from the toddler tyrant, well, I don’t know what to say. If you get close enough to be inside even the outer security cordon, you’ll be surrounded by fewer, not more, gun-toting folks who might pop off a few rounds over a spilled beer or whatever.
If you’re actually thinking somebody is going to nuke a football game to get him, why a football game? They could nuke the WH or Mar A Lago or … just as easily. Those are not moving targets. And any lesser weapon used against the target has far too little damage radius to hurt the vast vast majority of folks in the venue. Almost regardless of venue size.
Your odds of being hurt at a college football game come overwhelmingly from the traffic driving to and fro. Random fan violence is a teeny fraction of that risk. And “I was collateral damage from an assassination attempt on trump at the game” is a teeny fraction of that teeny fraction.
What nuke? And “random fan violence” is expected… from fans. Not from a terrorist cell. With all of his lunacy, threats and insults to anyone, it’s not safe to be near him.
Plus, I only mentioned a football game because he was just at Texas v. Tennessee. But a fund raiser for Joe GOP Schmo would be easier.
Remember though that Dick Cheney, with his nearly 60-pack-year smoking history, five heart attacks and multiple cardiovascular procedures including four-vessel coronary bypass surgery, lived to be close to 85.
While Trump’s medical status can’t be remotely as glowing as his pet doctors claim, he could easily live out the rest of his term and well beyond it, though whether that’s as a sentient humanoid is highly doubtful.
He and Mitch can stare at each other.
