This is where I go for my first dose of news each day, and this morning there are still no headlines about Trump's death.
Thanks for nothing, DU. See you tomorrow.

(25,071 posts)Every day, a man goes to the newsstand and pays for the paper. He looks at the front page then tosses it back down in disgust. After weeks of this behavior, the stand's owner asked the man, "Why do you do that every day?" "I'm looking for an obituary," said the man. "But the obits are in the second section," replied the owner. "The obituary I'm looking for will be on the front page!" declared the man.

(42,173 posts)who it was that shared it. IIRC it was an old Soviet joke, which helps explain why the man didn't dare say whose obit he was looking for.

My unanswered prayers were for some SC vacancies b4 Christmas too. So not much luck. Not wishing any to decease just not able to fulfil roles or w Execs to even be able to nominate cabinent nor take the oath. Whew at best going to be a bumpy 24-48 months.

(38,308 posts)...at the headline, and then throws the paper in the waste basket.
After a time, the news stand attendant can't stand it, and asks the guy why he does that.
The guy answers, "I'm looking for an obituary."
The news stand attendant says "Those are on the last page."
The guy answers, "The one I'm looking for will be on the front page."

(10,305 posts)President Vance would be run by the same people who run President Trump, but the MAGA cult would dissolve, and that can only be a good thing.
So the first thing I do each morning upon awakening is check to see if that vile pig of a man is dead.

(26,008 posts)I do the usual chores of (mis) managing a three bedroom home, and 7 acres of scrub that keeps growing back.
Some parts are quite steep and require good hiking shoes.

practice classical pieces on the piano

(That's not me)
take some damn fine photographs

I did that!
and assorted other fun things.
P.S. There IS NO spare time.

"Excuse me, Mr. Orrex, why do you buy a newspaper every morning and give it back to me?"
"I'm looking for an obituary."
"Obituaries aren't on A1."
"This one will be."

(26,058 posts)He concluded it by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."
"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

(7 posts)The Universe and its supposed Master have a wicked sense of humour. fat trump will live way past 100, and will be the Esteemed Ruler, the Respected And Beloved Dear Leader of his own Amerika, until that day arrives. And he'll have help from the much younger Elon Musk in securing their oligarchy, until that ultimate lovers' quarrel, at an unknown point somewhere in the future. Of course, I hope I am wrong--but I've been using that standard disclaimer since 2016 or so. It sucks to always be right!
