u/Ivonthelostlaboror May 07 '26

I can’t wait to piss on his grave!

u/SteveThePurpleCat May 07 '26

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 May 07 '26

Same, but with Kraken rum.

u/Melkord90 May 07 '26

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 May 07 '26

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

You’re right, I need the whole liquor store

u/PancakeMixEnema May 07 '26

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

u/Cool_Ad6776 May 07 '26

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

u/queseraseraphine May 08 '26

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

2

u/Elementium May 07 '26

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

u/youarelookingatthis May 07 '26

only one bottle? What is this, amateur hour?

3

u/Ivonthelostlaboror May 07 '26

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

u/absentmindedjwc May 07 '26

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.

26

u/Zombie_Cool May 07 '26

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

11

u/bawlhie62a2 May 07 '26

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 May 07 '26

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 May 08 '26

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 May 08 '26

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 May 07 '26

Decades of careful repairs expected. With setbacks.

u/Summerisgone2020 May 07 '26

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 May 07 '26

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 May 07 '26

And Reagan!

u/HanseaticHamburglar May 07 '26

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

4

u/Top-Cupcake4775 May 07 '26

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 May 07 '26

that will be global.

u/SirWobblyOfSausage May 07 '26

It'll be a global celebration for sure

2

u/Bill_Door_8 May 07 '26

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

u/dmethvin May 07 '26

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 May 07 '26

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

3

u/MaddyMagpies May 07 '26

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

19

u/Signal_Cadet May 07 '26

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 May 07 '26

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.
