Agreed, that bitch Carol in accounting needs to go
What’s the joke again?
Man stops at a newsagent every day to read the headlines but never buys a paper.
When asked, he says “I’m looking for an obituary.”
When the newsagent tells him obituaries aren’t on the front pages he says
“The one I’m looking for will be.”January 1st of 2000 would like to dispute this claim. At some point the world really was just one big party.
It wasn’t simultaneous though, because timezones.
Oh it was at some point, it just didn’t start simultaneously; nor would op’s celebration.
Yes I remember Jan 1st, 2000. I remember Dec 31st 1999, which… Yeah, everyone was waiting for it. In fact the 90s had so much shit waiting for the lead up to 2000 it wasn’t funny.
Directly into my veins.
My heart skipped a beat. I thought I missed a headline.
It’s funny seeing Americans think even our crappy president is somehow the universally acclaimed Mr Evil himself and that there would be a UN independence day if he kicked the bucket. He could die tomorrow and a solid majority of the planet would only be wondering which of the other millions of available morons will take his place.
Unless you mean Netanyahu in which case everyone except the US and Israel will probably celebrate for 5 seconds before they bomb another school full of children.
Don’t be such a spoilsport, I’ll definitely call my friends for a spontaneous party here in Germany.
And the question will be… Schnapps or beer?
And the answer will be… Both.
And that is good. Very good. A variety of schnapps as well as a variety of beers.
I mean yeah he deserves to go to hell yesterday as much as anyone, but you’re right, we wake up to president vance that’s not going to help anything
I’ve been looking forward to his death too but the more I think about it, it’s a mistake to think his death will somehow change the direction things are going
America is conveniently putting all the blame on Trump and ignoring that it took a lot of people to put Anerica in the position it’s in. If the problem were JUST Trump, he wouldn’t have come anywhere close to being elected. A sane country would have reacted to his behaviour by laughing him off and never giving him any votes or airtime. Trump is in power because an alarming number of Americans (not necessarily a majority, but a lot) agree with him
I’ve always been annoyed by people wanting to go back in time and kill Hitler. If it wasn’t Hitler, it just would have been someone else. There’s this strange persistent myth that if we get rid of one evil man, it all goes away. Hitler didn’t singlehandedly kill 11 million people. 11 million people aren’t rounded up and killed because one man decided to do it, it required people to go along with it
Yes.
Trump is the symptom, not the disease.
Its obvious the big big money players are driving his agenda.
They are daring the poor people to fight for their existence.
PS: re: Hitler. Go back in time. Take meth and cash. Find hitler. Get him on meth, buy enough art to get him notoriety, teach him punk music, let punk music advance egalitarian freedom and anarchy, so fascism has harder time gaining traction.
It’s more about hoping the cult breaks down and won’t be unified anymore. Maybe vance can’t jedi mind trick people the same way or something? Republican party fractures, rfk jr becomes totally irrelevant, etc.
But yes long terms the problems are still there, the hope is for some kind of respite, force the fascist elements to retreat, and democracy fashions some tools to defend itself better moving forward.
But yeah idk i really hope all the epstein stuff can come out, for example – more witnesses come forward, actual accountability and jail time for the perps involved – but it would not be a huge surprise if none of that ever happens
In terms of hitler, if he had died in the war or something, maybe France would have gone full fascist genocide. France was really a leader of antisemitism much more so than Germany before hitler rose to power. But of course, those are the kinds of hypotheticals that can only have absurd answers.
I don’t think that’s true at all, “if not Hitler then someone else”, as if it was some kind of unavoidable deterministic fate.
Personally I will just be ecstatic over never having to hear his dumb fucking voice again.
The cabal of fascists infesting and rotting democracy like termites will have to be dealt with and if anything, at least our shared hatred of Trump has made us come together and organize and prepare to fumigate the whole fucking place.
Trump has a cult of personality that took years to build, and isn’t simply transferred to someone else. MAGA doesn’t survive if he’s gone. Will there still be fascists, racists, and so on? Yes, but they won’t be unified anymore, and they won’t be grouped together with the rest of the right anymore either. This will be good for the left in the short term because the right will be less powerful, but also bad for the left because it won’t be as easy to attack the right.
My fear, concern, and prediction is that they will recoalesce. They won’t go back to being normal, if they ever were. All that hatred and indoctrination isn’t gonna disappear, it will always be looking for a vent, and you just wait and see, someone will come along to take charge soon enough.
I don’t even feel like I’m being cynical, you know.
There is no one universally hated or universally loved. So not everyone will celebrate anything. And if the bar is only that the celebration was observed simultaneously by someone in every time zone, then that has likely happened multiple times with things like US elections or the Olympics or that big soccer thing some people care about.
First covid vaccine triggered the same event too, no?
While that will certainly happen, it won’t end the environment that created him or the interests he represents. A brief respite, is as optimistic as I dare to be.
No. You’ll get 20 new clowns all fighting to be the new king. With luck they’ll eat each other as they step on the backs of everyone else. You want to see change, project 2025 needs to burn.
Also eat the rich.
Absolutely. I will ponder this as I sip the bubbly
I’m just looking forward to not hearing him voice his pedo rapist opinions anymore. It’s a particular frequency that just won’t exist anymore once his pedo mouth is permanently silenced.
Some lucky mortician will get to superglue his lips together.
I don’t even expect a respite- someone will pick up the “populist” mantle immediately. At best, it would be just a changing of the mask
A number of people are clearly already trying. They are all failing miserably. Amazingly, none of them have as much charisma, at least not with such a wide audience.
None of them had a 14-year propaganda campaign to convince Americans that they’re “good at business.”
Trump also represents a pretty impressive combination of horrible, charismatic, and authentic.
He is truly, truly horrible. He embodies the ugliness that a lot of people see in the world and in themselves, and is willing to cause harm to the world around him in a way that they wish they could.
He is, in his own utterly fucked up way, charismatic. He’s eager to aggressively beclown himself for applause and to sell his poison in a way that Stephen Miller or Ron DeSantis couldn’t match.
He’s authentically awful. Every word he says serves his own corrupt enrichment and aggrandizement, and he makes no secret of that, even when telling lies. When he’s lying, he’s obviously lying. When he’s stupid, he’s authentically stupid, not pretending.
Voters are very sensitive to all three of those categories, and they can tell when someone isn’t entirely any one of them. Trump is the rare beast to max out all three.
It’s rare for cults to survive after their leader dies.
I don’t see the movement continuing. Some will rally to the new face, but many won’t.
Even today support for Trump is slowly waning with his base growing smaller. The issue with the American system is he can lose all support today and continue. Even if dems retake a majority in the Senate it takes 2/3rds vote to remove the president.
Trump is just a face to an economic force backing horrific practices. He’ll be gone and the well of money will find someone else to hop in.

Images are just numbers.
And nobody really knows if numbers exist, if there is nobody there to count.
You sower of doubt!
It would be an interesting stat. What percentage of the world’s population got drunk celebrating your death? Hitler probably tops the leaderboard still.
Hitler probably still has the highest percent, but the likes of Putin and Trump might overtake him easily when they go since the world is a lot more connected and it’s basically impossible not to hear the news now.
Don’t forget Elon musk, Xi jing ping, and other rich and powerful individuals who caused mass suffering
Lmao, I’ve been reading this post and I had your exact thoughts crossing my mind then I saw your comment =)))
Pretty sure Hitler’s death was international news.
and so was 9/11, and Katrina.
both showed incredible, international outpourings of support, generosity, and kindness, and opened the door to a potential better future.
and both opportunities were frittered away on stupidity and arrogance.
My thoughts exactly. I will totally celebrate Trump’s death, but anyone who thinks its going to change anything for the better in any substantial way is sadly oblivious. In fact it frustrates me that so many people seem to think everything will be fine once Trump dies. Already the seeds of inaction and complacency are sewn.
You don’t get it. Without dear leader they fall apart. They don’t have anyone to replace him, at least no one their voters care even half as much about as him. The cult will die with him and that is a HUGE opportunity to capitalize on.
Also, without mentioning a name, we all know who this is about.
How could we not? He’s basically the #1 star on this platform.
Naw, that’s The Picard Maneuver.
Trumps a shit stain, not a star.
He’s so stupid, you even know who I mean when I say “he’s so stupid”.
Works with “Pedo in chief” too
