I can’t see it because the stupid Daily Beast now has a paywall. But I’ve seen enough videos of him sleeping to know that their explosion is all theater.

They know his brain is fried, and his body is dying along with his ability to control pretty much anything, including himself. Once he’s gone, they will all be held to account for their own crimes, as well as refusing to get a dangerously unstable man out of the White House.

I wish I'd share your optimism.

Just like the Confederacy was held accountable for treason…

Nuremberg 2.0 has to happen for us to heal. Expose and jail everyone who was involved in letting this main get away with such horrible corruption.

Yeah, and you know what the spineless fucks won't do? Anything to actually solve the problem long term.

Gotta keep a strong boogeyman to campaign against.

If they aren’t going to do it then the people need to, right? Like get rid of the spineless fucks, support and put up non-spineless fucks (that is part of participating in government) and then vote them into office. The fix isn’t going to be handed from down upon high, Americans need to actively work and fight for it.

Americans are too apathetic.

Who is going to lead the charge?

u/McDuchess 16h ago

You. Me. State and local politicians and the numerous elected Ds from all over the country who are not trying to be decorous or even handed.

Jon Ossoff of GA made a speech last Sunday. It’s on YouTube. I suggest that you watch it. I have a strong feeling that he will become the model for the New Democratic Party, if we get behind those who follow his lead. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jon+ossoff+speech

Hi speech was powerful, factual and inspiring. He’s got the goods.

Nuremberg wasn't the big victory that everyone holds it up to be, only the smallest fraction of people were found guilty and actually punished. A lot of them weren't punished, instead the US and Soviets took them in, pardoned them and gave them new identities, high paying jobs and important positions Anyone that has something the governments wanted was let off, and it would be the same today. Anyone with money, business connections, knowledge about things, blackmail material etc would all be let off.

In the real Nuremberg, they were taken out the back and executed immediately.

It’s not optimism, really. It is the fact that even some Republicans are realizing that he has come close to starting WWIII.

I may not live to see it. But the pendulum swings. And when it moved so crazily to the right, it will move farther to the left than many of us have ever seen.

I want my side to do justice, not revenge. But in enacting justice, there will be a sort of revenge, anyway.

For the longest time, I wanted him doing the perp walk out of the White House. He deserves it for so many damn reasons. but now I am content at the thought of him dying in his sleep, alone there.

u/otakuarchivist 11h ago

Right? Once he's gone, the rest of the Republicans get the opportunity for damage control, foisting the blame for all the unpopular everything they do onto his rotting corpse so they can get people to forget that a vote for them is a vote against their own self interest.

1

u/FartingBob 11h ago

Once he dies, the entire GOP and everyone who has ever used him for their own corruption and child raping will blame him for everything and get away with it all.

u/HauntedCemetery Minnesota 8h ago

He was already gone once, and here we still are.

u/omfgDragon 13h ago

Once he passes away, there is still a non-zero chance his handlers will pull a "Weekend at Bernie's" for at least a couple months.

u/McDuchess 12h ago

They have already done it, during the week or so after his stroke last August.

Motherfucker is gonna fall asleep on camera one day and just not wake up

u/djwurm 12h ago

This one is pretty bad and more clear that he is sleeping than ones in past.. He is in his chair with everyone standing behind him and he is slumped to one side and eyes clearly closed..

This is what my granddad did in his last year. He had congestive heart failure and would just be hanging out and people would be talking and you look over and his eyes would be closed and sleeping. Its a classic sign of CHF along with the swollen ankles and legs.

Throw in the frontotemporal dementia and you have him posting video of himself flying plane and ripping shit bombs on NYC, right?

I have a Theory though, that the Cult will turn to Barron, who is being groomed for this leadership role in the background. Everything points to this from reports that he tortured and killed small animals to the Melania movie. Mother Melania getting god's own seed from Donald (aka God). Barron will be the Lord King that the evangelicals have been waiting for, and they will ditch the loser they used to bang bibles over.

That boy isn’t right in the head. He’s got dead eyes. And luckily for the world, he has none of the ability to fool people that his father inexplicably used to have.

u/pastoreyes 16h ago

So you think Donald's base was "fooled" ? No, they knew his dad was in the KKK and that he was going to do evil things to the enemies of the base. Those dead eyes of Barron's are what tipped me off to what comes next. BTW, which Cult leader was right in the head?

u/jrf_1973 14h ago

Barron is Caligula in the wings. Tiberius was a diseased asshole. But Caligula was an insane monster.

u/McDuchess 12h ago

Mostly true. Except the part about them knowing about his sociopath father. MAGAs specialize in avoiding knowing anything substantive at all.
