When he "departs", how do you think the MSM

will report on the gigantic numbers of joyful people, parties, celebrations, and the like? It will be unprecedented, virtually a national holiday for 3/5 of the nation. I would compare it to the excitement associated with the ticker tape parade for John Glenn or the three astronauts of Apollo XI, except nationally and globally.

It won’t be universal as V-E or V—J day were, but it will be huge. Make no mistake. There will be lots of celebratory drinking and sex. (Speaking for myself of course!😂 )

I could care how they handle the news. I’ll be way too busy celebrating the streets. I’m not gonna care how he died, only that he did.

Replacement of an Adderall addicted child molesting puppet of Putin by a furniture molesting puppet of Thiel, musk, etc does not thrill me.

Worried that a less incompetent puppet of evil billionaires will be able to perpetrate more evil.

And yes, they will scream and cry to whoever will listen about how mean we are.

'I really don't care, do you?'

You just know that he’s come up with a concept of a plan for a big production around planting the fucker in the ground at the appropriate time. I envision a train ride, perhaps a horse-drawn hearse, who TF knows. You’ll never encounter a jollier crowd at an ostensibly somber event, betcha.

If he dies in office it'll be around the clock coverage. If he dies in office because of a health emergency the coverage will focus mainly on JD. If he dies in office at due to an assassination the coverage will be through the roof and they'll make him a martyr (this is the worst possible scenario for his opposition). If he dies out of office very few will care.

u aint seen nuthin. rw media will minimize the size of the celebrations, but they will do their best to shame the revelers.

On edit: or if they cover the massive celebration people will be numbered in the hundreds or thousands, as always.

They will attack Democrats for such unseemly behavior, mourn the loss of dignity and respect and join Republicans in decrying the loss of civility.
