Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Hope he's suffering from that ❤️
If we're lucky, we might start 2026 with a state funeral~
There will be worldwide celebrations the likes we haven't seen since the end of WW II.
it won't solve our problems though.
It'll solve one of them
There's a bunch of problems derived from the child rapist existence so I'd say it will solve a few.
And will give us satisfaction for seeing a child rapist kick the bucket, that's always good news.
I'd rather see him actually face justice
The dude is 79. Arguably he already escaped justice, we're hoping for the next best thing
It won’t happen, he’ll die, he’ll rest in state, and we’ll all try to forget
I won't try to forget shit. I'll celebrate his death yearly and loudly for the rest of my days!
He will rest in piss because his grave will be a public toilet.
As long as I live, I'll never forget, and I hope none of his enablers escape justice.
And perpetuate the rest as everyone starts acting like the problem is over and they can return to before
Do then hopefully it goes one and off getting worse and more painful to the point where he's barley functional enough to keep being the king but not doing much else? Can he do that for his country for the next 3 years? Or maybe until November?
So do I not fix my car's transmission because I also have worn brake pads and a broken window?
If it also had a rusty chassis and needs 4 new tires and the window is back ordered or no longer available, it might be time for a whole new used car.
What I’m trying to say is that if the midterms don’t go well, my family and I are going to look into that Canadian descendants citizenship thing.
I’ll still be so happy
hopefully he can have a hell of a party with his best friends putin and bibi
I plan on celebrating that illustrious day, but I do think we need to temper expectations a bit. I am truly not convinced it will actually change much. Trump is a symptom not the mastermind.
Yes, but Trump is the figurehead of a cult of personality and those never survive the loss of their face. There are enough loose cannons and outright insane people within the conservative political sphere that even if there is some kind of secret master plan on what to do after Trump is gone, once the inevitable shitstorm of internal backstabbing starts as everyone desperately scrambles to put themselves at the top it's likely to all go down in flames.
The RWA (Right Wing Authoritarian) personality type is notorious about lining up behind a figure they deem as "strong", though. Suggested reading: Bob Altemeyer's The Authoritarians.
So I guess we'll see.
Here's hoping you're right.
The entire house of cards might not fall, but at least maybe the east wing.
imma get so smashed on soju yall dont even knowww
It fear it will be the same as with Charlie Kirk. A very loud minority along with an army of AI social media users will agressively threaten anyone who says that the death was not a huge loss.
And here we are joking about the asshole sowing the wind only to reap the whirlwind. The patron saint of FAFO.
Yeah, just imagine if one of the early assassination attempts on Hitler worked. Same vibes.
I've said it before, but when that headline comes through, I'm going to buy a flag pole, a flag, and raise that thing to the top. I'll remove all of it after the half staff order ends, but I want everyone that drives by to know just how I feel.
I do wonder how many of those we may be seeing...
If Republicans and centrists and some so-called leftists and liberals clutch their pearls over it - first of all, FUCK THEM. But, secondly, remind them that the conservatives are the ones that raised the flags for Donvict's inauguration even though Carter was being remembered by having flags at half-mast just prior.
This is the party that lowered flags for that POS of Charlie Kirk. Some people just don't deserve this honor.
I'm just going to do a Grumpy Cat "Good." and completely forget his ass. It's what he deserves, as the most important thing to him is his name and ego. Fuck him.
Famous people seem to die on New Years Eve a lot, although it probably just seems that way cause of cognitive bias. People die every day
You're forgetting that Vance will become president. He might be even worse.
He lacks everything that made trump president, the first thing the fact that he is not trump. MAGA is a cult of personality, they worship trump. The couch-fucker is way behind trump in the maga likeability. He does not move masses as the child rapist does. He will become president, yes, but the maga cult will implode and they will enjoy a civil war in their own party for that.
I don't think they fear Vance in the same way as they fear Trump.
Given that the same puppeteers have their hands up Vance's ass, that and Vance is not an incontinent geriatric moron, he could be much worse.
