    Does anyone else find it wild that the first confirmation of his death (apart from anyone who had eyes and saw the wound) comes from the President of the United States? Who did not extend the same formality to the lawmaker assassinated in Minnesota just a few months ago?

      It’s funny how it’s always Trump says this, Trump say that. However when he is gone someday, what will the party have left? And what to say then? Everyone will have been conditioned to Trump being the mouthpiece, not the next Rando, or GOP. They are short-sighted as usual.

        My guess is Barron. If he’s trying to imitate NK, establishing a dynasty and getting rid of elections would be the starting point. And with all the talk of a 3rd term… my guess is that’s the goal. No dictator lasts forever, so ensuring a favorable transfer of power is vital. And if trying to deify yourself, the next closest thing is your progeny.

        Our best hope is the GOP imploding due to the massive power vacuum Trump’s death will create. There is a lot of discontent among Republicans right now, they’re all just too afraid (or still too loyal) to Trump to oppose him directly. But Vance? He has the charisma and popularity of a wet paper towel. There will be no hesitation throwing him under the bus.

      It’s fucking disgusting.

      But I’ve got nothing left but disgust, so I’m glad they’re going to keep dumping it.
