I hope this guy has a very slow and painful death.
The way he looks like and handles himself it seems he is in the process of experiencing a slow, painful death, but he’s probably too high on painkillers and other drugs to really care.
I really won’t feel sorry for him,
We have already bought the fireworks & bourbon.
Fireworks and a cold ass brewhaw here!! Cheers
Boneitis.
He basically was that 80’s guy…
Bone cancer eye sock spikes would be pretty cool.
I think we are allowed to dream bigger
I hope he gets something that makes him shit himself all the time, that he gets an embarrassing level of dementia, that it shows Republicans how shit they are, and he’s rated as one of the worst presidents to ever live.
⬜ something that makes him shit himself all the time

✅ he’s rated as one of the worst presidents to ever live
What if he has a stroke and loses much of his voluntary muscle function, rendering him unable to walk, talk, or use his hands, but he’s completely present cognitively so knows he’s trapped in a broken, doomed body and has to see and feel the Haitian immigrants wiping his ass every day at the home his children put him in
they will just to weekends at bernies, like they are doing with Mitch mcconnel.
It’s pretty evident that he’s not completely present already.
I hope that slow and painful death takes place in prison, with all of his accomplices.
Do you want a person who might not remember what he did, and/or is otherwise delusional, a slow and painful death?
Lma fucking o. Just because he may not remember the last 5 or 10 or even 25 years, the man has a lifetime of hate of prejudice following him. For example, the first building he ever controlled refused to rent to black people.
If a 6 year-old murdered 10 people, would you wish wt:thon a very slow and painful death? What if a dog killed 10 people? No in either case? Then what if it was proven that Trump, either now, or in the future, is/was [future tense] alive but had the mentality of a 6 year-old or a dog?
How many blacks (and others) were unjustly, or mostly unjustly, incarcerated in federal prisons early January 2017 that Obama could have pardoned, but didn’t?
I’m ignoring all your points because he’s been a grown man for over double what I’ve been alive and is a huge hateful piece of shit. I literally don’t care about anything you typed tbh
I’m ignoring all your points because he’s been a grown man for over double what I’ve been alive
So you want formerly-evil-now-senile-people to suffer?
and is a huge hateful piece of shit.
and if he suffers in his senility, this hate will be cured?
I literally don’t care about anything you typed tbh
Then why do you respond?
Because you’re defending a rapist because he’s senile?
Yes, against him suffering a very slow and painful death.
He might not remember what he did and thus why he is suffering.
What’s your point in making him suffer?
Sociopath. Even if you hate the guy, if you’re a public figure like trump, the least you can do is muster a bit of empathy.
But he can’t, because he can’t even fathom the concept of empathy. It’s completely foreign to him.
Electing sociopaths is how you get war and genocide, as we’ve known for millennia. And we’ve given a total sociopath the levers of genocide, both abroad and at home.
Not that I think he had much in the way of empathy prior to this, but he lacks a filter of any kind which is a symptom I had to repeatedly apologize for when my grandfather’s dementia got worse.
The dude has full on dementia, no one is doing anything and he will continue to degrade both himself and the reputation of anything associated with him as this keeps going.
Funnily enough, dipshit donny might be the best publically perceivable evidence of the need for reform we will ever get.
Reforms that are needed:
- Compulsory voting for all citizens
- Ranked choice voting system
- Age limits for politicians
I’m sure there are more, but this is just off the top of my head.
I’d go with term limits as well. Too many people in what are essentially life terms
Plenty of countries have laws that fine or otherwise punish people that do not vote, afaik this doesn’t tend to lead to better functioning democracies. I think this is a thing where the carrot works better than the stick.
Automatic voter registration based on citizenship. Boom, solves a big percentage of the problem.
You’d be shocked how much a bit of minor paperwork stops a large percentage of people from doing the bare minimum.
- I’d be less oppose if it’s accompanied with NOTA options.
- What if A gets 26% of the vote, B gets 25%, C gets 24%, D gets 15%, and E gets 10%?
- What should be the age limit for US Presidents? and should the 35 be lowered to 18? Ditto for US VPs?
What if A gets 26% of the vote, B gets 25%, C gets 24%, D gets 15%, and E gets 10%?
The standard method of ranked choice voting: E gets eliminated as they have the least, everyone who voted for them goes to their next ranked choice. Repeat until one person has over 50%.
Please forgive any ignorance on my part, but would it be required that we’d know what the 2nd (and 3rd and 4th and so on) preferences of those who voted for E in the first choice?
If so, and if such could be done, what if of those who voted for E on their first choice, in their second preference, half of them (i.e. half of 10% being 5%) voted for C, a third of them voted for B, and a sixth of them voted for A;
meanwhile two-thirds of those who voted in their first preference for A, half of those who voted in their first preference for B, and a third of those who voted in their first preference for C, voted for D in their 2nd preference? —i.e. (⅔ x 26%) + (½ x 25%) + (⅓ x 24%) = 16⅔% + 12½% + 8% = 36⅚%.
Here’s a brief explanation of how preferential voting works in Australia: https://www.chickennation.com/voting/
Thank you. 🙂
1st count
Bamboot got 39.
Floundra got 35.
Aggy-Waggy got 20.
Gort got 6.
But why did Bamboot get 4 of Gort’s votes while Aggy-Waggy got only 1, even though the latter got over half the number of the former?
Shouldn’t it be 3+2+1 instead of 4+1+1?
and why in the 3rd count did Floundra get 16 of Aggy-Waggy votes, while Bamboot got only 5 or less than 1/3rd?
Presumably in a run-off, it would be Bamboot versus Floundra;
while in proportional representation, the Complete Scumbag Party, Discreet Scumbag Party, the [Gort Butterson Party], and the Nice Party, in a parliament of 100 might get 39, 35, 6, and 20 seats respectively, with probably the Nice Party being in a coalition.
Even if it was 1/2 PR and 1/2 FPP, each system electing 100 candidates (hence a parliament of 200), and in the FPP vote, the Complete Scumbag Party won 51 of the FFP seats, the Discreet Scumbad Party won 38 seats (i.e. less than 75% of the former’s number of seats, or conversely the former got over less than 35% the latter’s number of seats), the Nice Party won only 8 (2/5ths of what they won in the PR count) seats, and Gort won 3 seats it would still be:
name PR FPP % Complete Scumbag Party 39 51 45 Discreet Scumbag Party 35 38 36.5 [Gort Butterson Party] 6 3 4.5 Nice Party 20 8 14 We could have 3 possible coalitions:
Complete Scumbag Party & Discreet Scumbag Party most powerful but least probable Complete Scumbag Party & Nice Party most probable Discreet Scumbag Party & Gort Butterson Party & Nice Party possible, but probably most unstable
Please forgive any ignorance on my part, but would it be required that we’d know what the 2nd (and 3rd and 4th and so on) preferences of those who voted for E in the first choice?
Yes. Please look up “How ranked choice voting works” instead of asking randos on social media to explain it to you. The information is readily available.
(my bold)
Ranked voting is any voting system that uses voters’ rankings of candidates to choose a single winner or multiple winners. More formally, a ranked vote system depends only on voters’ order of preference of the candidates.
Ranked voting systems vary dramatically in how preferences are tabulated and counted. This gives them different properties with respect to satisfying various voting groups and adherence to mathematical rules.
…
Some ranked vote systems do not use ranking to transfer votes but instead use ranks as weights. These systems are called positional voting. In the Borda method, the least-favored candidates on each ballot receive fewer points; the most-favored receive more points. The points on each ballot for each candidate are added together, and the candidate with the most points is elected.
I’d like to believe but do you really see a future where old (white) dudes in power will vote in favor of a reform where old dudes arent allowed to be in power because they are “supposedly” unfit for it?
Yeah that wont be happening any time soon in my opinion.
They could vote for the legislation, maybe push for an amendment, that doesn’t kick in for about 10 years.
e.g. starting 1 January 2036, no person can be a member of Congress who has been in office for 10 or more years, consecutively or non-consecutively. This does not apply to any person who was a Congressperson at the time that this amendment was ratified; and years served before 1 January 2030 will not count.
and/or,
e.g. notwithstanding the aforementioned, starting 1 January 2060, no person can be a member of Congress who has been a member of Congress for 10 or more years, consecutively or non-consecutively.
“they’ll only vote for policies that benefit the country if it doesn’t affect them” tells you everything about the people currently in power.
Agreed, it does;
nonetheless, my example indicates that positive change is still possible, not soon but neither too long, even by such incumbents.
If they did this 20 years ago, and my suggested dates were 20 years earlier, wp:Chip Roy couldn’t run in 2030, wp:Matt Gaetz couldn’t run in 2028, and wp:Mike Johnson could not run this November.
He doesn’t need to have empathy, he could just say nothing.
Had me until you said “muster a bit of empathy”. Trump would never.
Could never, even.
talks about genocide and then wants empathy for the scumbag they called Genocide Joe.
Respect is earned while someone is alive and healthy, Biden has earned no respect.
Despite his many crimes, I am nearly sure Joe Biden has done more to deserve respect than you ever will.
“If Biden deserves so much respect, then why am I still an asshole?”
- AssholesBiden is a war criminal that prepped the way for Trump to come to power.
If you feel any pitty for him, you should stop NOW.
Username checks out
Being a Democrat in name only, does not make you a decent person whatsoever.
Mr hair sniffer, stall on Ukraine, drill in the arcticson, is not a good person.
Also does not make them to blame for Trump above all the people who voted for Trump, and all the politicians actively supporting him and not reigning him in.
Genocide is the mother of all crimes. Financing it nullify all the good thing you did. He also supported balkanizing Iraq.
Yeah and the other guy rapes children. What’s the point of comparison in this scenario?
It’s not a fucking contest. They’re both pieces of shit.
You didn’t brought trump raping kids in the comment I reply to. You don’t seem like a good faith user. Israel rape children with usa diplomatic cover. Trump is also complicit with genocide so yeah i hope both trump and biden suffer
“both sides”
Yes both deserve to suffer
Thought successfully terminated. Well done citizen.
Both sides need to die where we dance on their graves.
Anyone that has an ounce of respect for him based on what he has done throughout his life and the harm he has caused on untold millions of people deserves no respect either.
It’s not about respect for his actions, of course they’re terrible, it’s about respect for a human being suffering. There is no real point to wish suffering on anyone, other’s suffering never helped anything except satisfy one’s vengeful fantasies/sadism. If someone is hurting others, you make them stop hurting others, but you still give them basic human respect, i.e. don’t make them suffer needlessly etc
You have empathy for Trump’s dementia?
Yes, I do have empathy for sick old humans. I wish Trump was safe in a nursing home or wherever, wouldn’t feel the need for constant validation and would feel loved. He’s quite obviously got massive internal struggles that make him do terrible things to feel less terrible himself, if he was doing better, I’m sure he wouldn’t do any of the things he’s doing and likely wouldn’t be president or similar.
No. Basic respect for the life of your fellow human is intrinsic. Nobody should have to earn the right to live, jackass.
When the actions they’ve committed throughout their life has led to the harm of others, there is no intrinsic respect.
People that are able to say stuff like this are exactly why we have the situation we’re having. If you can turn off your empathy for the “bad guys”, all it takes is just misidentifying the “bad guys” once, either by mistake or on purpose or by being manipulated.
Even serial killers or mass murders deserve some basic respect. You got to deal with them appropriately so they can’t be a threat anymore, but once that’s done, the respect should be the same as for anyone else.
Did you grieve when Charles Manson or Jeffery Epstein died?
No, why? I do not grieve for most of people’s deaths.
So your basic respect for them doesn’t necessitate your grieving their deaths?
even hitler?
Life must be simple without nuance.
Nuance is not needed, he caused harm and that’s what he needs to be remembered for
Respect and derision are not the only choices.
e: for example, failure to even acknowledge is a deeper social slight, and one that stays through time, not something cheap and transient. But that requires a bit of sophistication.
That’s actually not how respect works at all, what your thinking of is adoration. Respect is lost, if you don’t start with a baseline of respect for everyone, you don’t respect anyone.
Neither have you. So get lost to the maga community on lemmy (if there even is one)
reddit.world moment when not respecting a genocider makes you a trumper apparently
Incapable of believing that a critique of one piece of shit implies endorsement of the other piece of shit?
So if you treat someone with respect you endorse them?
If Trump was choking on a big piece of cheesecake, would you perform the Heimlich maneuver on him if it’d save his life?
If he said thank you and extended his hand, would you shake it?
Just remember this when he dies.
His followers will screech about “civility” any time anyone says anything like that.
The correct reply to that is always, “Fascists don’t deserve civility.”
“Fascist lives don’t matter”
I’ll simply reply in the mortal words of Charlie “got kirked” Kirk when he said “uhhghahhaowhhhglughgnhgurgle—”
And I will screech at them SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU PEDOPHILE SUPPORTING FASCISTS!!!
Or any other prominent MAGA figure.
I can’t wait until the pedophile nazi king dies.
All these ancient politicians dying in the next 5-10 years, we can finally be free
It doesn’t work that way. There will be many reasons to celebrate, sure, but this problem doesn’t go away with a few obituaries.
Maybe if they all happen within a few days then?
A group of ex military can make that happen
Just what the US needs: a military coup, perhaps lead by people who oversaw atrocities in Iraq, Afghanistan, and perhaps Vietnam. :-/
Jim jones will bring the drinks
Billionaires and megacorps are not going to stop running the country because a few figure heads croak. I wish.

I will buy a flag pole and extend it so that It may fly the flag higher.
What instead if he’s impeached soon after November, lives to be 100, while either running in the 2028, 2032, 2036, 2040, and 2044 GOP primaries and/or having a proxy/proxies such as Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr, Eric, Rudy, Whisky Pete, and/or even Vance run in such?
Article is from May 2025 in case anyone is assuming he just said it. TBH, he’d probably say the same thing today though.
His headstone is going to be a toilet regardless of it’s shape
just like Kissinger’s! a gender neutral bathroom.
Or Thatcher
This felon rapist is so insulated from reality that I honestly don’t believe he realizes that the nation (world?) is going to make a fucking holiday out of his passing.
I’m from New Zealand, and I will ABSOLUTELY be celebrating the end of this fucker.
I need to figure out a way to fly a flag at double mast. Maybe a helium balloon?
I have fireworks ready for this occasion.
I’ve said it before on Lemmy, but anyway I kept buying a bottle of spirits ready to celebrate. ( well bubbly two times initially ) but I kept drinking them. So now I’ll just wait for the great day to buy. Cheers for the future.
And when we do, all the conservatives will suddenly start their pearl-clutching bullshit about being ‘respectful’ once again.
Hit them with a “I wish for Trump what Trump wishes for his enemies.” They don’t really have a prepared response for that.
Haha I actually used a similar one recently. I was talking about how much of a piece of shit Mitch McConnell is back when he was in hospital and someone called me out for being mean so I said “I hope he receives the same amount of respect and care that he showed to others throughout his life.”
After all the MAGA shock at the unsympathetic Democratic response to Charlie Kirk’s death, MAGA will be far more savage to Biden when he dies. They expect respect for their traitors/pedophiles, but they won’t give it to those who have actually helped America, and not just a exploit it.
I’m glad Kirk is dead
And Kirk died for what he believed in. Gun rights. Biden prided himself in funding cancer research.
Kirk died doing what he loved, gunfire.
Wait til they see the celebration in the streets when Trump kicks the bucket. If they think Kirk’s (well deserved) death reaction was heartless, I have some news for them.
No shit; that would require at least an iota of empathy.
Sucks for Biden, but I will never forgive him for not firing Garland & making damn sure pedo Trump died in a prison cell.
I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist, but I suspect that the Democrats intentionally pressured to delay those prosecutions with the following idea, “If we wait until the last minute, then these prosecutions of crimes, which we 100% know Trump is guilty of, will torpedo Trump’s presidential chances, and the Republicans won’t have any time to boost a different candidate.”
I think they didn’t expect that the most slam-dunk case, the classified files case, would be pulled by one of the most outlandishly corrupt pro-Trump judges we’ve ever seen, Aileen Cannon.
I don’t care why they did it. It was either the wrong call or an unforced error. One that we are paying for.
I sincerely disagree with this. I think Merrick Garland genuinely viewed his role and himself as “separate” from or “above” politics and totally disregarded the threat Trump because of that. This is honestly more in line with previous DOJs as far as political impartiality, however he was not what we needed in that moment.
Know what else would do that? A deep dark military prison cell he’s never allowed out of, or a firing squad.
Either that, or they thought letting Trump run again would make their candidate a shoe in, so they wouldn’t have to try at all and could run a “Status Quo, everything is fine so nothing is going to change” candidate.
Either way they put their own desires for power above law and order.
I will never forgive him for the Gaza Genocide
I was under the impression that it was Israel invading Gaza.
And which country is
the lapdog of? Which country could have ended the genocide with a single phone call? (Not a defense of Reagan btw, he was a Zionist neoliberal demon even with this one action, and the world is a better place without him)From an outsider, the US has always looked like the lapdog tbh. Not that I disagree that Biden (and every other president before and after him) should have been telling Israel to fuck off.
I mean…
is way bigger, way richer, and way more powerful than , all by a country mile. And can’t survive economically or strategically without aid.Like I do get where your view comes from, especially with Trump basically giving Netanyahu whatever he wants and Biden having done the same thing except for going to war with Iran.
Actually, even if the dominance relationship was reversed, i.e. even if
did control , this would not change the fact that
sent aid and weapons to
all throughout the Gaza genocide. So while I do think it is important to clarify the dominance hierarchy between
and
for other reasons (e.g. in pursuit of a coherent analysis of
as a vassal state of
, although sometimes a belligerent vassal), here we can agree to disagree about the direction of the dominance relation and mutually conclude based on the facts that
, and in particular its figureheads Trump and Biden, are demonic genocidal entities which are deeply responsible for the Gaza genocide.deleted by creator
I mean usually I don’t use the emojis that much, but I had to use the words AmeriKKKa (
)
and Pi$$rael () a few times, and I just find and replace every instance with its burning flag. I refuse to give these settler-colonial projects even the minimal dignity of spelling their names correctly.
If Netanyahu just says nope to Trump’s peace plan, why would he say yes to Biden’s?
And Reagan didn’t achieve shit - Israel carried on building in the occupied territories regardless, and they only abandoned their war in Lebanon because it was going badly. Reagan did telephone the Israeli prime minister but the Israeli cabinet had already voted to stop the campaign that day, but of course Reagan wanted to take credit for that and announced how stern he was on the phone and the American news outlets of course delighted in fluff pieces praising the president for stopping the war. But that’s all it was. Fluff.
So, no, your “American president can stop Israeli wars with one phone call” is BS,
America supplied the weapons to do the genocide. If America stops supplying the weapons, no more genocide. Are you 12?
Didn’t Reagan give weapons and a Bible to the Iranian theocracy?
I know you guys also literally trained and supplied the group that would become Al Qaeda
Are you 12?
Username does not check out.
I think you have oversimplified somewhat.
You don’t think Israel has a teensy bit put by for a rainy day? I do. You don’t think Israel has a domestic arms industry? I think they export a great deal. You don’t think there are other suppliers than the USA willing to sell arms to an aggressor? I do. You don’t think electing trump is the worst thing America could have done for the people of Gaza? I do.

So when the orange fuck face dies we can all say the same thing without getting fired, right?
no, of course not. He’s the orange turd. We’re expected to mourn turds. I, by contrast, will be dancing for joy when the turd dies
When it’s flushed.
It is amazing the hold Biden has over his ego. It is like still being bitter about the kid who beat you in the spelling bee in high school.
The entire Obama administration live rent free in his head
It’s honestly the only thing I like about Donald Trump.
I’ve known people that can’t get others out of their heads. They live miserable existences.
Maybe that’s why you’ve never seen a true smile on Trump’s face and why you can’t name anyone that’s actually his friend, except maybe a dead pedo.
I genuinely think he just doesn’t have that part of his brain. He has people that he temporarily stops fucking over and tries to charm-bomb while they’re useful to him (who he then throws under the bus again once he doesn’t need them anymore) but that seems to be about as close as he can get.
I think that’s the same reason why he’s never had a pet - if you take things like companionship and love out of the equation, a pet is just something that consumes resources without giving anything material back. I wouldn’t be surprised if he just sees them as pointless.

I see lots of non-Americans telling Americans to “do something!” every single day here in the fediverse.
Americans might have “vile and violent fantasies” but they’re far from the only ones and I’d wager if you talked to a neighbor or two you might find some of them have similar fantasies.
Nope, don’t see it in my environment.
It’s a sick US attitude.
A society drenched in violence and fantasies.
Their sad little cope for their impotence and complete lack of reaction against their regime’s behavior.
In their infantile minds they believe they are the great revolutionaries and warriors ready to battle injustice.
Trump can’t bear the fact that Biden beat him. It really gets to him like few other things do.
Of course he also hates it when people ask him why the other half of the Epstein files aren’t getting released.
If Obama had not humiliated him at one of those press dinners who knows, he may have never really ran.
Everyone says this, but remember he had already done several third party runs. He always wanted to “collect” a presidency to sate his enormous ego.
Yeah if any of you guys build a time machine, I know Hitler is a target, but please tell Obama to not goad the Donny.
