    Ah yes, the monthly “Trump is senile” post. Been going since 2016.

    Should we meet back here in another ten years when he’s on his fourth term without consequence or care from anyone in power?

      It reminds me of all of the “Fidel Castro is secretly close to death” news articles that showed up in the 80s and 90s. I suppose the predictions were eventually correct — but I’m not sure that predicting “sucks is gonna die” 30+ years out from his actual death was particularly useful.

      He’s an overweight, burger loving, guy whose idea of exercise is a golf cart.

      The odds of another 10 years aren’t in his favor. Although he has a track record of defying the odds. Maybe he’ll file years of appeals with the Grim Reaper.

        I’m convinced he’s made a deal with the devil to never face consequences for anything, maybe that includes no health consequences

          In my personal experience, hateful and truly evil people tend to live longer. It’s truly a shame, because the good always die young from shit like cancer in their thirties despite good diet and excercise and people like Trump will live the most sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle and then live into his nineties with no ill effects. Something about the nastiness and the hatred just sustains them out of pure spite.

            Evil is rampaging across the country, the worst people in the world are being given positions of power, hate and racism are being made into policy and the people you hate most who scream about race are being given uniforms and guns and concentration camps, the Epstein-patrons are celebrating, there is a sweeping movement across evangelicals pushing back on empathy and Christian values broadly. Human rights are being taken away, as well as basic services like healthcare, food and housing for the poor and families are being torn apart without consequence.

            I’m not religious but if I were and watching all of this, I would probably believe that a deal was really struck or that this was all some kind of Revelations prophecy.

              I am not religiouse either but we are talking about christian mythologie and spreading evil wouldnt be a goal for the devil nore any of his underlings. A free society would theoreticly create the most sinning if you think about it

                Religion makes no sense when you think about it at all, so my imagery is more in line with our current “fairy tale” version of Christianity that most Americans have grown up with, without actually reading the book in any capacity. (Actually reading the book is what made me leave.)
