When it's time for Trump's dirt nap, I guess the MAGAts will remember Trump struggling against the Secret Service agents in Butler, PA, who raced to protect him from "whatever happened that day."
And, of course, he monetized it immediately into "Fight Fight Fight" cologne for men and perfume for women, and a $150 "Fight Fight Fight" coffee table book that he sold for $150.
A short rewind to September 10, 2025.
Outside of the MAGAt cult...in terms of liberals and independents, not just "conservatives," Charlie Kirk was a minor figure. And within moments of his death, conservatives were demanding Charlie Kirk shrines at universities, a "Charlie Kirk day of remembrance," and we were going "Say, what's for lunch today?"
Because while we called out the act of murder and don't condone it under ANY circumstances, Kirk's death did not represent a "loss" for us. Every time someone is murdered, HUMANITY AT LARGE is diminished. But there hasn't been a day since Sept 10 when I woke up and thought "I MISS CHARLIE" as I wiped a tear from my radical leftist cheek.
Trump seems to take GREAT DELIGHT in unleashing his bile, his seething hatred, his rage, on HOLIDAYS that average Americans are trying to enjoy, without an Adderall-addled old man calling them scum.
WHEN IT'S TIME FOR HIS DIRT NAP, whatever reaction we...the people who are not red-hat wearing cult members...will have, will most likely NOT BE THE SAME as the reactions of the MAGAts. We won't see the raised fist and the teensy weensy paper cut on his ear and "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT."
We'll see a bitter old man at his country club, on Christmas Eve, wishing his Slovenian trophy wife would just come in his room and "touch it," but she's in her own room with the door locked or in New York with her son, telling him what a precious boo boo he is and how much mommy loves him, while sad old rapist felon Trump rage-tweets to the world that they are "scum."
And when we don't take a knee for Dirt Nap Donnie, we'll be labeled as creatures of hate, even though our REASON FOR NOT TAKING A KNEE is that we don't tend to do that wwhen it involves CREATURES OF HATE.
Ironic, ain't it?
Merry Christmas, folks.

(128,852 posts)and dancing in the streets will be excoriated harshly for taking pleasure in the demise of "our" president. To which I will say, fuck that. Is grave-dancing in poor taste? Yes. And in this case I don't care. With respect to almost anyone else in the world I would agree that it's inappropriate to celebrate when someone dies, even someone I didn't like. When Dick Cheney, a man I thoroughly disliked for too many reasons to list here, shuffled off his mortal coil recently I wasn't sorry, but I didn't pop a champagne cork; I just shrugged - his departure no longer made any difference. If someone is no longer doing harm when they go, if they've ever done something good or useful, if they have people who loved them, I'm not going to dust off my party hat and my dancing shoes even if I don't waste a second mourning.
But when Trump goes - and may it be soon - I'll be ready to party hearty with all the rest of you heartless woke Antifa reprobates, and I won't feel the slightest flicker of shame. In the recent history of the world there have been very few people as absolutely destructive and without redeeming qualities as Trump. He has never done anything good or decent or useful. He has no friends (with the exception of loathsome dead bestie Epstein); I doubt even his children actually love him, and his wife clearly doesn't. He will not be missed by any decent human anywhere, and even though I look stupid when I dance I'm gonna do it and I'll get gloriously drunk on champagne I can't afford and I won't give a flying fuck if some MAGA assholes get their panties in a wad about it.

(919 posts)he's going to pull a "Genghis Khan" on us and be buried in an undisclosed location. He has to know that millions of people will be lining up to urinate on his grave. Then again, perhaps his progeny will attempt to make bank on that - it would seem to be something they would do. Build a bar close by and have the doors to the restrooms lead to his final resting place.

(107,248 posts)To call his opponents scumbags and say to children asking where Santa is to say that it's better if their parents voted for him. Asshole.
