Is he dead yet?

Ripped apart by Danish sled dogs?

Taken out by the liberating NATO army?

Dismembered and found in every room of the Waldorf Astoria after attacking Hilton?


Just fucking died already for literally any reason at all?

5. Trump's death in office would not be good
Tue Jan 6, 2026, 08:15 AM

If he died before the mid-terms, we would lose the person who voters now despise. Most people (not Trump followers, but decent people) do not like to speak ill of the dead.

If Trump died in office, it's not like Harris becomes President, but it would elevate J.D. Vance. That's not a good thing.

I'd rather beat Trump's Republican Party like a drum in 2026 and 2028 and then if he dies a miserable, painful natural death I wouldn't shed a tear.

Trump is nuts and that helps the Democrats win the House and maybe even the Senate in 2026.

Running against the policies of a nut is better than running against someone who's deceased and replace by someone who appears sane.

With every ghastly misdeed, we’ve been told that this is the thing that will finally do him in, taking the GOP with him. Meanwhile he amasses more wealth and power and wreaks more and more lasting destruction. But make no mistake: THIS time we’ve got him right where we want him. Sure.

Incremental gains don’t help us if we retain only an impotent minority unwilling to act.

We’re past that point. It’s too late to hope that we’ll get him next time, because we’ve seen again and again that it doesn’t happen.

The best time for him to die is 78 years ago. The second best time is right now.

and Trump being nuts did help Democrats.

I'm hoping 2026 and 2028 replicate those years.

I LOVE to cook and am quite good in many different cuisines. social type but I'm inviting EVERYBODY...decent people, that is. I'm here in NorCal and though it'S been quite wet, there's NO snow where I am, though, you can get on I80 and be in LOTSA snow in less than 45 miles. Continue to give me something to chuckle about, Orrex. You are DEFINITELY appreciated.

14. In a way, he is dead.

The brain died years ago, but the body twitches on.

What Demonic Power put him in the Oval Office?
Twice?

Any sane country would have taken him to a Home for the Mentally Confused years ago and given him paper and paints to do some very messy finger painting.
Instead, he is where he is - still doing messy finger paintings, of sorts.

I see a future where Trump stops twitching and the Republican party disintegrates like any good cult that loses its leader.

Then the Dems can spend the next 8 years repairing the damage.

Business as usual after the funeral in other words, just history repeating itself.

he has found the key to never releasing all(?) the DOJ-held Epstein files - just keep finding more to parse through and redact.
Incidentally the counsel for Epstein’s victims has copies of all files originally found in NY after the perp’s death. Now who’s got the hot potato?
