Slurring words and struggling to gain crowd enthusiasm sounds like a regular night out for me.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 108 points 6 months ago

But are you a treasonous Russian puppet child rapist tax evading draft dodger?

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 44 points 6 months ago

No, I'm just not a particularly engaging speaker I would imagine but I think the similarities end there.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 34 points 6 months ago

Well, you've got my vote

Yeah, uh-huh. Let me know when he has a stroke. Anything short of that and the right won't even acknowledge that it happened. Even then they'll say it was a liberal conspiracy to poison him.

[-] Albbi@lemmy.ca 130 points 6 months ago

He's had a series of mini-strokes though. We know it because he tweeted that he didn't have them.

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 35 points 6 months ago

This reminds me of how when COVID was starting to hit the news I wasn't at all nervous about it until he got on and said we had no reason to be nervous about it

“It’ll be gone by Easter”

This is 100% true and it's so funny that I just want to cry in a corner.

They would still vote for him and say it’s a conspiracy as he’s not really dead. He’s just chilling with Elvis in a CIA bunker or something.

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 16 points 6 months ago

That's fine, they can all vote for a corpse that can't hold office.

Per Trump, “great legal experts,” including Sean Hannity and Mark Levin, believed there was no case.

Today I was absolutely shocked to learn that Sean Hannity and Mark Levin are great legal experts.

And [the hush money jury] is in about a 95 percent Democrat area,

Pro tip: if you don't want to be tried by a jury from a mostly-Democratic area, don't commit crimes in New York City.

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 41 points 6 months ago

This dude lived most of his life on Manhattan. He has multiple properties there. Those people know him best and are the best judges of guilt in his trial.

[-] elvith@feddit.de 14 points 6 months ago

NYC has all the judges. Good judges. Great judges. The best judges in the world, I tell ya. Not like those judges from a shit hole county. And I have great attorneys. The best. They could be better, but the best attorneys that do as I tell em.

Make attorneys great again!

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago

MAGA = Making Attorneys Get Attorneys

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 20 points 6 months ago

Pro pro-trip. If you have something to hide don't run as president. If he just remained a private citizen this wouldn't be happening to him right now

Anyone can be a great legal expert if you're stupid enough.

Imagine if Trump gets reelected, and H5N1 becomes a pandemic.

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 28 points 6 months ago

I’d rather be imaging trump getting eaten by ticks

H5N1 is almost certainly going to become a pandemic no matter who wins.

And the majority GOP House (plus a likely Senate takeover) will do the same exact thing they did in 2019 when COVID hit: Blame foreigners, persecute physicians, peddle phony cures, and deny its even happening all at once.

Follow the link in the article to his rant about Master Lock. WTF? How is this person allowed three feet away from his caretaker?

[-] Seraph@kbin.social 54 points 6 months ago

Aaahahaha had to look. Fox News cut him off for sounding too crazy:

Fucking Fox News.

“President Trump is campaigning in Wisconsin today. He will be in Michigan. Nothing on Biden’s schedule”

Yeah. He is busy running the country. Not golfing most of his time on taxpayers dime like Cheato here

Maybe not.

The Biden-Harris ticket is set in stone, and Harris is the sitting VP. If God exercises His Ultimate Veto on Biden, then Harris gets thrust immediately into the job, while also taking over the ticket and trying to pick a VP that can pass ratification in both houses of Congress. And the optics of picking one VP for a few months and a different one in the campaign are poor, so Harris will be saddled not only with a new job and a boring personality, but with a compromise VP that was picked to siphon off three or four Republican votes in the House.

While if Trump eats one too many hamberders before the convention, Republicans have more options, because he doesn't have an announced VP yet, and even if he did, that choice isn't as permanent as the current VP. Since Trump has installed his people in the RNC, though, we shouldn't expect much of a change. We'll probably get Don Jr. to run in his place -- they wouldn't even need to change the banners.

As ridiculous as Junior is, he will have an army of MAGAs who now revere his dad as a saint, while Kamala Harris is kinda meh. I don't wanna see the result of that.

Because that would lead to what?

Why is the liberal candidate dying so attractive?

Do you think his party would substitute him with a candidate that suddenly disagrees with almost a century of American treaties and support for Israel? Do you think when Bernie makes a statement about accountability he has to actually do anything about that?

Like I’m all for netanyahu getting a smack and a jail sentence but wishing death to Joe Biden feels like cutting off your nose to spite a liberal face.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

Why is the liberal candidate dying so attractive?

Biden's spent his whole life carrying water for the most rotten and corrupt people on the planet. Just a shame he hadn't died much sooner.

If the McKinsey Consultants infesting his administration all want to go down with him in the same nose-diving Boeing Max Jet, the world would immediately become a better place.

Biden has done MANY great things which means something given the Republican party’s full court press to stop anything and everything good from happening.

Fuck you for wishing Biden fucking dies, he’s not perfect so throw him into the flames? You disgust me.

Biden is why Medicare can negotioate drug prices now

Has someone tried starting a conspiracy that Donald Trump is fucking dead and this is a clone meant to trick people into voting for a Luciferian Sleeper Agent?

When is this waste of space gonna die?

[-] rsuri@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

Trump is currently 77, at that age life expectancy is about 9-10 years. You could adjust it downward a bit for obesity and perhaps other evidence of poor health, but not by much.

[-] Rakonat@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

You're forgetting that he's rich (compared to most americans, but as much as what he claims) and former POTUS giving him access to some of the best healthcare in the nation if not the world.

Just remember that when he contracted covid back in 2020 and was hospitalized, it wasn't just a vaccine or horse medicine they used to cure him, bit god damn stem cells derived treatment.
