What a novel concept. I’m sure the very first time this has been considered//tried.

I get the impression that when Trump dies, it will make the celebration of Thatcher’s death look like a moment of quiet reflection.

And MAGA will pretend they find such responses inappropriate and try to police people’s speech

Will people care?

Most people see him as a crystallisation/pinnacle of the American dream.

“Sources close to the president have told Zeteo that on separate occasions over the past year, Trump has talked to longtime advisers about what it would take to officially make his birthday a national, federal holiday.”

says Donald who avoided the draught for the Vietnam War,

meanwhile Robert was serving in the war, and was awarded the Purple Heart and a Bronze Star

In a 2017 profile, Josh Meyer wrote: “He enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1968, led a rifle platoon in Vietnam and earned a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart and other medals for valor.” Mueller would later say he was driven to public service because he felt “exceptionally lucky” to have survived his tours of duty there.

I stopped doing it many years ago since it is not exactly good for your mental health, but when he dies, I hope it is in august, september or early october so I can go out and spend a couple of hours on picking psilocybe semilanceata.
I will even try to get hold of some hashish or marihuana (something else I don’t do anymore for reasons of mental health) and buy 2 litres of my favorite craft ale.

This is the plan (such as it is as of now when I wrote this nonsense), if he dies during mushroom season. Then I will pretend to be 20 years old and irresponsible again, if only for one big day or 3.

He ran into enemy fire over an open field to pull back a wounded comrade. A risk for a comrade that Trump would be completely unable to do. Perhaps he would be willing to do it for one of his kids, I don’t know. But certainly, the willingness to sacrifice goes no further than his own children, if even that.

But he can’t die,he thinks he’s immortal, and a diminishing number of Magas may agree!

A bad look for the “it’s just a few bad apples” perspectives on bad policing

“A few bad apples spoil the barrel”.

It’s funny how that idiom was turned on its head.
