    False hope sucks, don’t tell us until something more substantial happens

      Yeah, people have been saying this kind of thing for almost 10 years now. It’s wishful thinking.

      Well if it makes you feel any better, things will get worse after his replacement is able to more effectively implement the party’s agenda.

    Sorry to upset people thinking of him dieing soon, but they’re going to sit him in a gold throne, kept barely alive, in suspended animation, then keep him alive and in charge for 40,000 years.

    They’ll use AI every time they want him to “say something”.

    Well, I wish him the worst, and hope for the slowest, most agonizing recovery for him.

      What a vile sentiment. This is a human person that is a felon and a rapist and actively brings harm to marginalized people, and you wish him a recovery?!

        My post was clearly a reference to wishing people well and a speedy recovery, but now that I saw the other response to my post I do want Trump to survive for the rest of the year, giving Vance less potential time at the helm

          If America has a civil war, I want Trump to be in command of the Neo Confederates. That would save many ReUnion lives, since the enemy would be utterly incompetent and would encourage backstabbing among his minions.

          Keep everyone confused. I guess by now they are scrambling and can’t properly recall how to “sandbag”. So, ummm, never thought I’d say it but fuck, Viva La Trump. (Oh that turns my tummy inside out) Strange times do call for ridiculous measures. C’est la Vie.

        A painful agonizing one that will lead to a false hope of recovery. Commenter was playing the “long game” when it came to well wishes.

      Well, if he recovers and makes it over the 2 years before JD Vance replaces him, then the 2 years won’t count towards limiting Vance’s two terms. However, if he kicks it like a year into it and Vance serves 3 years, then he couldn’t run for a third go since the 3 years would count as 1 full term.

        Honestly, if Vance assumes control and your democrats aren’t screaming all day and all night about this unelected and illegitimate president for as long as it takes to get an election, then they really haven’t learned anything about the way the game has been played for the last couple decades.

        Is it fleshed out like that?

        I do not think it will matter, Vance will not keep the supreme leader spot, he will be rejected for somebody with more Charisma in 2028.

    Can’t wait to see trump wearing sunglasses and going everywhere with Hegseth and RFK Jr. propping him up as they walk around and pretend to have him whisper things in their ear that they relay to us.

    They’ll probably just be boring and use AI, but I’m still hoping for a Weekend at Bernie’s.

      There are a lot of things that can cause bells palsey, viruses are one, not sure which but would guess hpv, herpes, but can be bacterial and in many cases they cannot find the cause.

      What virus are you referring ro?

      Why’d we have to look it up ourselves? You couldn’t just tell us? 😂🤣 OK, OK, yeah that would definitely be poetic justice. But the Wikipedia entry I read says it’s only suspected of being a cause, so 🤷‍♂️

    So what happens to project 2025 when the mouth piece responsible for Trump’s Gen Z support dies, Trump dies, and VP Couch Fucker becomes president?

    I don’t see a lot of people putting up with the Heritage Foundation’s bullshit if the snake is rattleless and headless.

      The question is whether the democrats will actually meaningfully act to undo any of project 2025. The way they act now it seems like it’s coin flip on whether or not they’ll continue it themselves.

      I mean, they’re going to want to win over those same voters once Trump is gone so they don’t really have much reason to not have hard shift to the right.

        Dems crave the approval of the right and have spite for the left, embarrassed at any support they get from the left.

        Without new dems we will not find out newsom will lose or have it taken from him and after 2028 it will be fixed up tight(er.)

    What are the chances that two of our last presidents suffered from serious mental degradation and other health issues? There must be a connection. Dangerous mold in the oval office maybe?

    Man, I saw that photo and for a brief moment I felt bad for him, but then I remembered he’s a piece of shit, and deserves every health problem he gets and then some.
