But leave it to Trump to drag it out for years, like he does with everything else.
Two weeks. He may not be dead in two weeks, but he’ll have a concept of a dying.
Even them. “The clock is ticking, bud, live it well.”
You said that every human is a little bit sad all the time because you know you’re going to die. But that knowledge is what gives life meaning. - Michael - The Good place
They’d never do it (even if there were no need for advance planning). But if they did, they’d find their congregations growing with appreciative Americans!
As mentioned, i know a lot of bell ringers. Would their celebratory peal be officially called that by the host church? No. Would it happen anyway? Damn good chance.
I heard a joke this weekend:
Trump went to Pope Frances’funeral, and he was upset that the event wasn’t all about him. And so was everyone else.
Good one!
Omg, that’s exactly what I was thinking while watching him scowl throughout Jimmy Carter’s funeral!
I stand firm in my conviction that he had a stroke in August of 2025 and the only reason he is alive right now is because of the efforts of unethical gerontologists. In any case, once he does actually finally die (any day now, all gods great and small willing), we’ll find out what was really going on with him when the tell-all interviews and books start hitting the scene. Anything from Trump’s people should of course be taken with a grain of salt but I think we’ll have overlapping sources confirming the hustle to keep him animated since then. And we can see the toll it is taking on him. The slurred speeches, the daytime naps in front of audiences, the weird bruising on both hands, the neck rash. His health may not be diminishing rapidly enough for our tastes but that is because of the massive amount of privilege he has. And that to me is the real kicker. We could all be so healthy if these resources weren’t being poured into the preservation of this one solely undeserving individual.
Or in the middle of a discussion with a bunch of CEOs, he randomly gets up, wanders off, turns his back to all the CEOs, then stares off from a window to a nonexistent ballroom that he calls beautiful, before remembering where he is and trying to laugh it off as being silly before returning to his seat.
According to Facebook, this sign could be seen on display in the Bay Area earlier today.
Yep, it was somewhere around Walnut Creek/Concord. They’ve been doing various messages for a while, though this one was more…crude, I guess you could say.
Should that be “an STD”? Or is this another case where pedants and style books disagree?
It’s my understanding (and opinion) that it should be because “ess” starts with a vowel.
Yes, let’s critique the grammar of an enormous lewd banner attacking the sitting president. 
(Of course it should be “an STD”)
We can excuse lewdness but no bad grammar!
(The an/a thing mystifies me, I thought originally that it was A before a consonant and AN before a vowel, but then you lot go on about “An SUV” , so I deduced that is not applicable to the actual letter but the letter’s pronunciation, and since English pronunciation is a Dark Art I gave up)
An Dark Art
An Art, Dark.
Bbbut D is a consonant! And sounds like a consonant!
