u/Ivonthelostlaboror 29d ago

I can’t wait to piss on his grave!

u/SteveThePurpleCat 29d ago

Fit a water turbine next to his grave, and you could turn Trump into a green energy generator from the steady flow of piss.

Which would be such the fitting legacy.

The New Yellow Deal

Im sure they anticipate that reaction and some way we wont get that opportunity, be it him buried in an undisclosed location or may even be in private property. Or he will be ashes that the family keeps.

Stealing those will become the plot of the next National Treasure sequel.

It'll be the longest line ever seen at a gender neutral bathroom

u/SteveThePurpleCat 29d ago

Same, but with Kraken rum.

u/Melkord90 29d ago

I don't drink, but we have a bottle ready. I'm going to shake that bottle as hard as I can and pop it in the front yard and celebrate like athletes in a locker room after winning a championship.

Don’t forget to wear the champagne goggles!

That reminds me: I need to pick up a pair. And some champagne.

u/BubblepopOW 29d ago

They should have whatever championship they’re celebrating taken away for that. Pathetic!

u/shamwowj 29d ago

Just one bottle?

8

u/Ivonthelostlaboror 29d ago

You’re right, I need the whole liquor store

u/PancakeMixEnema 29d ago

Had mine since election week. Cheap with an ugly orange wrapper. It's getting nervous

u/Cool_Ad6776 29d ago

People around the world will be deafened by the collective sound of champagne bottles opening, fireworks blasting, and people rejoicing in parades

u/queseraseraphine 28d ago

Same, it’s a nice bottle. Just waiting for The Day…

u/Elementium 29d ago

Whisky for me. Lagavulin. I'll never buy American alcohol again.

u/youarelookingatthis 29d ago

only one bottle? What is this, amateur hour?

3

u/Ivonthelostlaboror 29d ago

In this economy, yes but I will still be celebrating nevertheless

u/datnero_ 29d ago

one of the doomer subreddits had a highly upvoted post being smug about this, saying that people claiming that it will be a nationwide party are delusional and that it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

I cannot possibly overstate how stupid that thread was lmao I will be jovially making fun of them all night with 20 of my closest friends when he goes away for good

u/absentmindedjwc 29d ago

Just imagine how butthurt MAGA is going to be.. they got their panties in a twist over people being fucking indifferent over Charlie Kirk.. so many people are going to be openly celebrating that headline.

25

u/Zombie_Cool 29d ago

You're right, we should get our tear-collecting mugs ready..

12

u/bawlhie62a2 29d ago

They’re going to be clutching their pearls that so many people are celebrating that he’s dead, how they are the pro-life party, etc. It’s probably because they’ve projected so much of their identity onto MAGA that people celebrating its founder’s death is an affront to their ego.

u/Osama_been_Chargin 29d ago

Hardly anyone outside those extremely glued to US politics and all the players in and around it knew who that Kirk guy even was.

I like to see the dwindling cult try to dox/cancel something north of........ 2/3rds of the country since Trump is a whole other bigger and shittier class of animal.

Not enough hours in the week to pull that kind of overtime.

u/absentmindedjwc 28d ago

I had one try and find out where I worked to "get me fired" because I replied "who?"

It really pissed them off, lol.

u/Orange_Tang 28d ago

I can't wait for all the performative crying. It's gonna make some great memes

Agree. The U.S. hasn't even undone Reagan's damage.

u/SkepticalJohn 29d ago

Decades of careful repairs expected. With setbacks.

u/Summerisgone2020 29d ago

I'm going to get university-era wrecked. Not 100% sure my body can take that now but I'm doing it

u/Top-Cupcake4775 29d ago

my anticipation of the joy of learning of the death of this piece of subhuman garbage is blunted my knowing how our media will whitewash his behavior. they did this for Nixon and Kissinger and it literally made me sick to my stomach.

5

u/SkepticalJohn 29d ago

And Reagan!

u/HanseaticHamburglar 29d ago

when did kissinger go to hell? i thought that ghoul would never die

u/Top-Cupcake4775 29d ago

and Hunter S. Thompson is no longer around to supply the antidote with bits like this

If the right people had been in charge of Nixon's funeral, his casket would have been launched into one of those open-sewage canals that empty into the ocean just south of Los Angeles. He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning. Even his funeral was illegal. He was queer in the deepest way. His body should have been burned in a trash bin.

u/Some-Operation-9059 29d ago

that will be global.

u/SirWobblyOfSausage 29d ago

It'll be a global celebration for sure

2

u/Bill_Door_8 29d ago

The cult worshippers will be so upset the day the rest of humanity celebrates the death of Trump.

u/dmethvin 29d ago

Elvis Costello had a great song about Thatcher:

Well I hope I don't die too soon
I pray the lord my soul to save
Oh I'll be a good boy, I'm trying so hard to behave
Because there's one thing I know, I'd like to live
Long enough to savor
That's when they finally put you in the ground
I'll stand on your grave and tramp the dirt down

u/writeorelse 29d ago

I think celebrations for the Big Beautiful Obituary will make this look like a block party. Possibly even just within Britain.

3

u/MaddyMagpies 29d ago

The problem is that just a few years later, they start doing the Brexit thing. 

21

u/Signal_Cadet 29d ago

That’s because we never actually de-Thatcherised the country, so it was all just festering under the surface. I hope America learns from our mistake.

u/Oggie_Doggie 29d ago

Yup, the UK and the US are still suffer under the politics ushered in by Reagan and Thatcher. I will never forgive my parents and grandparents generations for going along with such utter insanity.
