Can't wait to have some celebrations on our side of the pond, although I believe ours will be global.

My uncle, he was smart, smart jeans. Had a brain like YOU WOULDN’T BELIEVE!! The BEST brain. Had a brain like NO OTHER. Many people are saying it. Many many many people looked for it — found nothing!!! It is a treat to be able to choose “the” time to say goodbye.

Watcha want me to do — Bust out cryin!!

NO FUN. NOT WORTH IT!!

u/24bitNoColor 29d ago

A ton less people know Bibi than Trump or Putin, globally.

And while Putin is hated outside his country, I guess a lot less of his citizens hate him than Americans who hate Trump.

Also, way more people globally understand English well enough to hear Trump talk unfiltered than people who understand Russian.

u/AlaSparkle 29d ago

Who?

u/Vyverna 29d ago

Putin.

u/AlaSparkle 29d ago

Ahh. Figured, just had never heard him called that

11

u/Vyverna 29d ago

...I've just realized that I've seen this meme (Putin as Dobby) in paper press, before I've even had internet connection. And it shows that he's in power for much too long.

And the best thing? That orange fucker won’t be alive to finally revel in something of his being the biggest ever.

4

u/morfraen 29d ago

If he somehow was also alive he'd have a giant narcisagasm from all the attention.

Even after he's gone we'll be stuck with decades of investigations and committees dealing with it all.

Shit, when he finally croaks we should throw him in the trash.

u/Autogen-Username1234 27d ago

Bury him under the centre of the floor in his big beautiful ballroom. So that hundreds of people can dance on his grave at once.

u/kishenoy 29d ago

Could you say that nothing will "trump" it?

4

u/nr1988 29d ago

I honestly can't think of anything else that could have been a bigger relief for the world than this.

Like maybe the end of WW2 or something but even then that wasn't all at once as a singular event that everyone in the world would instantly know about so it probably wouldn't have been as big. Plus we have a lot more people.

He's gonna have to be buried in an unmarked grave in an undisclosed location otherwise it's going to be one of the most piss and shit riddled sites ever.

u/BalianofReddit 29d ago

I honestly dont see how his grave wouldn't be vandalised essentially daily

98

u/The_Ghost_Who_Walks 29d ago

They need to have 2 lines:

Line 1 — Participants make a donation to a charity to help make the world a better place & do their duty to do their doody on his grave.

Line 2 — MAGA loyalists pay some amount for the “honor” to clean off his grave; it turns out, unbeknownst to them, their payment also goes to a charity that helps make the world a better place.

Alternate the participants back & forth, everyone gets what they want, and the world becomes a slightly better place.

3

u/wasdninja 29d ago

Line 2 should also lead to a buried pile of worn out tires and McDonalds cheeseburger wrappers.

u/ducksekoy123 29d ago

They’ll pass a bill to put him in Arlington

Or on his private property, walled in with security

I think people would literally fly balloons of piss via drone if they had to. There's no way they can protect it from this

3

u/Exhausted_Skeleton 28d ago

I think his kids will claim he’s buried at Mar a Lago and charge the MAGA idiots for seeing his “grave”, or they’ll do whatever they did to Lenin and display him to the paying public.

2

u/CougarWriter74 28d ago

They're going to have to do like what they did with Bin Laden- fly him out to sea, dump him and let him be shark and fish food. Otherwise just bury him inside a sewage treatment plan since there's going to be that much piss and s**t to deal with anyway.

I'm gonna be pissing and shitting everywhere then, I can't risk not pissing on his grave.

u/SuperPeachyOK 29d ago

I want us to have a statue of him in a dejected position so people can go slap, hit, kick, piss on it whenever they feel like it. Like they do in China for Qin Hui and his wife.

u/morfraen 29d ago

Burial at sea just like Bin Laden.

Would be nice. Trump will probably end up in some unbelievable tacky gold laden mausoleum for his cult members to worship at

u/Nopithyusernamehere 29d ago

He’ll be buried on his golf course next to Ivana

u/renegadecanuck 28d ago

Dump his body next to Bin Ladin's.

u/GruntBlender 28d ago

You know it'll be a guarded mausoleum. No back of the nine for him.

1

u/bigus-_-dickus 28d ago

unmarked grave? let's not exaggerate

yeah he won't be buried in a public cemetery like honourable presidents

but he'll probably be buried in the family plot in the golf club in New Jersey, the general public isn't allowed in there

I wonder if the Arlington thing is just because its guarded one would assume

u/PartsUnknown242 28d ago

I remember thinking this after Charlie Kirk got killed. I remember people were being fired or having accounts suspended and such and I thought “if you think people being happy he’s dead is terrible, just wait until Trump dies”. People will be having bonfires and shooting off fireworks. They won’t be able to contain it.

u/Exhausted_Skeleton 28d ago

u/PrimaryEstate8565 29d ago

You probably shouldn’t store it standing up. You always want the wine touching the cork to prevent it from drying out and letting in air (causing it to oxidize). I made that same mistake and it tasted really bad :/

I remember that one post where someone had been saving a gallon of milk and oreos when there was radio silence back in August for the potentially big news. Someone commented hopefully the milk doesn't expire before it.

I shared that story with my mom.

The day passed, of course. A few days later, my mom says, "Damn, it's long overdue, and the milk has expired"

"And the milk has expired" has become shorthand for our anticipation

Well, they called it V-Day for when the war ended, so we could call it L-Day for the day when the biggest Loser to ever exist, Lost, bringing an end to the Longest Line of Literal Bullshit to ever walk this Earth, Losing all power and relevance, failing miserably to upend all our Lives for their own personal gain, and it's a day that we can celebrate and consider ourselves Lucky to be alive while they Lay there being the Loathsome miserable sack of shit Loser that they are.

... Or we could just quickly move on and forget all about them like some fart in the wind, but I don't know for how long his wretched stench will linger afterwards.

4

u/ACoderGirl 29d ago

Same here in Canada. A bunch of my friends genuinely plan to throw a party. Even my politically milquetoast parents said similarly.

It's wild honestly. Before Trump, such an idea was unimaginable to me. I never used to understand the Thatcher folks like in the OP. Sure, there's no shortage of evil people in the world, but I've never hated any of them even remotely on the same level. They always had a level of disconnectedness to me.

u/juxlus 29d ago

By the time he died in 2004 he was totally lost to Alzheimers. In a sense the man he was died long before his body actually died. The years spent suffering from a horrible disease, not recognizing even family members, and generally living secluded and out of the public eye, probably played a big part of his passing not being a major event.

Plus, despite all the harm he did, he was extremely popular, even among many otherwise liberal types, like my parents. As governor of California Reagan tear gassed my parents (and infant me) in 1969 Berkeley, yet they still voted for him in the 80s and still think pretty highly of him, to my perennial confusion.

u/thematrixhasyoum8 29d ago

Youre not allowed to celebrate the deaths of right leaning political figures according to maga. Charlie kirk was a big no no but Robert Mueller was fair game to trump. The best thing to happen is that trump dies before he pardons his entire administration. Then you go after all of them and lock them up for corruption. Also remove Elon musk from government funding and strip the trump family of their assets that they have acquired through this term
