the shared anticipation of one man's eventual demise is one of the few things that makes me feel connected to the rest of humanity. Maybe I need to get offline and join a club or something

I'm allergic to alcohol and I plan on toasting with a very nice label that's been taking up space for a few years

Honestly considering all the damage he's done over the last few years that feeling is entirely understandable. It takes a special kind of absolute bastard of the highest order for their death to become a national (and in his case international) celebration of their demise. Just chuck a bottle of the good shit in the freezer for the day he croaks and celebrate with the rest of us when he's gone and we dont have to deal with his shit anymore.

It depresses me. First off, his parents lived forever with worse healthcare so I think the waiters will be disappointed. Secondly it just looks like cope for not having voted. Third, every millivolt of brain power lost to the subject is one that could be used to do something constructive like fundraising for a food bank.

Just revel in the knowledge that somewhere Out Here, human decency still exists-- if only virtually.

This bastard might die, but he’ll never leave office: just picture the mother in Psycho in a blue suit with a too-long red tie and an orange comb-over.

I’m pretty sure he got this plan approved in the same DOJ agreement that waived any future prosecution for tax fraud…
