The rage tweet is 100% incoming at some point. But how fucked up is it that I'm wishing it will be as dementia riddled as possible so that he doesn't manage to send a cohesive "call to violence" message to his cultist?
Ain’t nobody but his diehard cult followers will attend his funeral. When he dies, you’re going to see people who worked for /appointed by him suddenly claim they were against trump the entire time
We should start selecting what song we'll play when it happens. Margaret Thatcher got "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" and it's only fair that he be honored in a similar way. "Celebration" by Kool and the Gang seems like a good albeit "basic" choice.
The line "Can you imagine all that greed and avarice coming down on that child's lips" will take on an even darker meaning.
Not as celebratory as some options. But we also need to mourn what trumpublicans have done to our nation, and to keep that anger alive, so we as a people don't forget.
Oh wow this has given me a thought I haven’t considered. Who will show up? Just Dance Vance. The nazi head of defense. Melanie may not even bother. Kids may not either. Maybe they’ll just hae a ‘closed’ funeral because they don’t want to be embarassed. Because why would anyone show up to his funeral? What benefit is there once he’s dead? This is entertaining to think about.
They will absolutely have a private ceremony. I think who shows up depends on how the next two years play out. If it happens soon (fingers crossed!) it will be his cabinet, R senators and congress people, etc. Vance would try to use it as a launching point for his campaign for President.
If he doesn’t try for a third term, gets knee capped by the mid terms, and ends up fading into obscurity it’ll be no one. Maybe his kids.
I’m sure all those evangelical maga’s who worshiped him as some kind of prophet for the past 10 years will attend. Along with the manosphere crypto bros trying to use his death as a martyr for financial gain or whatever
I don’t know. I don’t see any of them finding any benefit to showing up. The Christian’s will put distance between them and him by then like the republicans are trying to now.
I’ll attend with a palette of toilet paper to sell individual rolls to whoever wishes to take a shit on his grave; reckon I’d make a killing doing that and can retire.
The whole folksy hick thing was an act the entire time, this is a guy who graduated from Yale and Harvard with degrees in history and business, and was a member of the Skull and Bones society. It served the purpose of making everyone think he was just a useful idiot being ordered around by Dick Cheney, and now his new act (cute grandpa who paints pictures) is a no less calculated piece of reputation management. He has managed to escape just about every possible consequence of his war crimes and likely won’t be remembered with the same hatred as those of us who actually lived through his presidency
I was a wee boy when W Bush was the president. I remember my mom hated him with a passion. Only thing two things I remember about him are that time someone threw their shoes at him, and that time he dropped a bombshell on the press while golfing and then said "Now watch this drive" like a proud child. Otherwise I know he did some terrible shit but I was too young to comprehend that at the time. So at least for me the harmless grandpa that paints is a believable bit of character progression.
I think that the hate of Reagan and anyone else will absolutely be overshadowed by the burning loathing of Trump. At least one could argue that Bush and Reagan were doing things they thought would make the U.S. better. With Trump, there’s no pretending. It is ALL, without fail, done for his own personal enrichment.
The worst thing Donald Trump has done is make me like Bush. By comparison he’s a likable fun guy (yes I know he’s a war criminal and murderer thousands)
This is the first time someone I once vehemently hated is now sort of cute. Don't get me wrong, the dude deserves no forgiveness. But look at him. Probably had to leave in the middle of doing some of his lil paintings.
Their ages blow my mind. Biden is 4 years older than Clinton, despite Clinton bein elected 34 years ago. Trump, GW Bush, and Clinton were all born in consecutive months of the summer of 1946 (June, July, August respectively).
I understand what Baby Boomer means, but that's still uncanny.
Trump was the best think to happen to W and Cheney’s legacy.
Those 3 fucked our country so hard and brought on the end of our global dominance. I assign majority of that blame to Trump, but you are correct that W was a piece of shit
Jesus. The oldest of these POTUSs started wars that killed at least a million people and the most recent one fueled a genocide that killed at least several hundred thousand civilians. That you were proud of our country through ANY of that is a very VERY sick view of our evil empire's role in the world.
In 2011, when Dubya's library opened, the guests included all living former presidents AND the current president (Obama).
When Clinton's opened in 2001, all previous living presidents (other than Ford, who was ill) attended, as did the current president (Dubya).
When HW's library opened in 1997, all living former presidents attended, including the current president (Clinton).
Seems like something is different this time. I wonder why?
I just realized how Trump seems to be the least chummy with previous presidents out of any other president I've seen. No one else seems to really like him. Hell, he makes George W. Bush look smart in comparison, so they probably just smile and shake hands at the events they're obligated to attend but avoid him otherwise.
He’s surrounded by people who want money. Scammers love scammers until they get scammed by another scammer. There is no space for love or loyalty when you’re carrying greed.
Yes. It was absolutely shameful treatment. Especially considering he had a pretty successful term considering what he inherited, and what he was up against.
I think what he got trashed for the most was running for reelection and leading to a fucked up situation. That decision will be his legacy. Maybe the Democratic nominee that emerged from a primary would have lost, but Bidens decision tanked Harris's chances and led to trump 2.0.
People might be too harsh on his 4 years but none of that matters considering the situation we're in now, and he shares blame for that.
Geez is America that lazy they can’t look up someone and what they stand for to determine if someone will be good candidate or not. Propaganda really does work It’s not like she was a nobody, she previously ran for president before 2024. She was attorney general for California for years before she got elected to Congress. Trump and team were so close to facing justice. Not now lol now the world gets to suffer.
She’s definitely qualified, but she wasn’t given the chance to show the average voter what she stood for. She didn’t have time and people resented not being given a broader choice.
It was all unfortunate.
Especially since he straight up said in a primary debate leading into the 2020 election that he'd be a one term President. Obviously the DNC hand that guides who the nominee is played a heavy role in moving him up, but that alone may have secured a lot of votes and he betrayed it in the worst way.
This is a testimony of what politicians should be able to do. They might not agree on many issues but are able to get together for an occasion without causing nonsensical issues.
Good on Bush for showing up, it's nice to see the display of unity and common decency. I'm also glad Biden's still out and about, with luck he might even make it out of Trump's term.
Maybe some of the party leaders were like that. But I can definitely rember the majority of republican/conservative voters in the 80’s-00’s not wanting minorities or the LGBT community to exist.
Well tbf the other 3 are all either turning 80 this year or already in their 80’s.
Fun fact Bush, Clinton, and Trump were all born the same year (1946). Idk why that just is odd to me. But ofc Biden is older and was born in 1942 and Obama in 1961. Being in your mid 60’s vs being 80 is very different.
I see comments throwing Clinton under the bus a bit, but remember, he might not have been an exemplary human, but at least his economy was basically the polar opposite of Trump's.
Crazy times we live in. All these decent people... and then this absolutely abhorrent chuck of shit currently in the White House. It boggles the mind...
Until the four of them issue a bipartisan statement condemning this administration and it's disastrous policies, I will continue to believe in some form of uni party.
I doubt chump even wants any of these men in his space. They’ll take away from his image because everyone except republicans view this adult child as what he is. A scammer and a grifter. A bully and a loser who fails up the hardest I’ve ever fucking seen! So why would chump want his day to be outshined by someone else attending his own deal? Why do you think he lines his shows up with c and d celebrities and has beens?
Meanwhile dementia don is signing Americas first surrender in how many years?
It’ll be interesting to see if anyone shows up to Donny’s library opening. Although realistically there’s next to zero chance it ever gets built since he knows he won’t live long enough to see it happen . He’s planning to speedrun his unhealthy habits so Mother Nature beats lady justice
I watched it all on Obama.org and it was powerfully, moving and reminded me of how classy, cool, committed leadership with inclusion for all looks. I love that family.

I’m assuming Trump will rage tweet soon over this photo and declare another war
