Place your bets on how long the white house staff "Weekend at Burnies"'s 47 after he actually kicks the bucket.

Yeah they will just Ronald-Reagan-dementia-zombie trump around to do all of their cartoonishly evil shit

Pretty sure this was a plot point in the movie Equilibrium.

They will "upload" his counciousness into "Digital AI" and MAGA won't even miss a beat. It will be like an idiotic version of Max Headroom.

So fitting that magats are attracted to shit.

No, Vance will take over, and that will be worse.

Thank you that is a better link! I just switched the url to salon for this post because you are right there is no point reading the article I posted in comparison.

Well the thing is, if you are filthy rich and have such resources at your disposal, what is terminal for one person doesn't have to be terminal to another. Medical science has come a long way, alas capitalism has ensured the best stuff is only available for the richest.

You might say hur dur I live in EU land and we have (almost) free top of the line healthcare. Yes, that's true, hello fellow EU healthcare enjoyer. A close relative of mine still died while on a waiting list, as there were more patients than treatment options available. I'm not saying if they were rich they would have cut in line, but it does happen.

He may not have cancer, but when interviewing Shoigu at the start of the war, he sure gripped that table like his bowels were about to fall out of his asshole. Something was definitely wrong with him health wise at the time.

My grandfather had terminal cancer for like 4 years as an upper middle class man in his 30s back in the early 1980s. So I could see someone with Putin's influence being able to stave off the reaper for longer with modern medicine and effectively infinite resources.

And Parkinson's, I thought, at some point?

He's gonna be around for at least another decade, we're not that lucky.

are there any of those left?

He can take a LOT of pumping, I suspect.

Could mean that.

It could also mean someone that used to work there, no longer do, but still has friends there that tell them about the ongoing shit show.

I still talk to old coworkers and get updates about the crap going on at places I used to work. In a place like D.C. where maintaining networking and unofficial communication channels are the way a lot of things get done, this isn't a stretch at all.

You mean that?

Most people don't know this, but Weekend at Bernies was inspired by the Reagan presidency.

Some context for others here, Kim Il Sung is dead but is still technically the North Korean supreme head of state. He is the "Eternal President" with his successors deriving their notional authority to rule directly from him, but apparently officially deferring to his corpse should the question of precedence come up.

In case anyone was wondering, Kim Kong Il holds (not held) the slightly less exalted titles of "Eternal General Secretary" (of the worker's party) and "Eternal Chairman" (of the national defense commission). Even though he is quite definitively also dead.

And while we're at it, Francisco Franco is also still dead.

is he gonna point at stuff

True, but when assholes die the world becomes less shitty.

And he still shits himself in front of reporters.

Trump is nothing like Stalin and comparing them is an insult to the successes of Stalin.

Not to minimize how much of a vile human being Trump is, he could never hope to be as efficient in killing as many people as Stalin did.

Trump relies on every piece of shit in his horror show of a cabinet to administer power, and is completely dependent on his cult of brainwashed racists to hold onto that power.

even if Trump were to die today, nothing will change until every single criminal in his employ faces justice.

you had me worried you were going after the beep chair for a second.

no one talks shit about the beep chair

If in death any man receives the amount of suffering they inflicted on the world as they lived, cool. May they then be granted a jury in hell.

Trump does.
