He deserve the worst. Being forget by everyone the second he disappear. He doesn’t deserve to be named.
You know, it’s kind of fair, because no person on the planet and that includes his kids would be sorry if trump got cancer.
Hey, I’d be sorry. I’d be sorry that he didn’t get it all the way back in 2015.
😁
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.
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.”
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.
That’s not surprising at all, He has no empathy or feelings for anyone but himself.
Some politicians add to the world by leaving it.
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.
Nah, I still extend empathy to people who didn’t do enough. That’s like 99% of humanity.
my empathy is broken for men in power that see the dangers and still refuse to take action out of fear of damaging their legacy.
even if that wasn’t the case and he didn’t prosecute Trump for the obvious crimes he’s committed and it was more of a choice to ensure the country stayed “united”, I don’t think it was worth it.
I’d rather be cut by a sharp blade quickly than a dull blade slowly.
Then that’s a you-empathy problem.
As I said, most of humanity does not rise to the occasion when their number comes up. Biden was no different.
You didn’t stop Trump either. I hope you don’t get cancer, and if you do, I will extend my empathy your way.
You reap what you sow. I have a bottle of champagne waiting for his metastatic cancer death.
You really don’t, sadly.
Down voted for a truth no one wants to hear. Damn. Well you got my upvote stranger
Some of us do.
I sure wish karma was a thing. Kissinger wouldn’t have died a wealthy, comfortable man at a century old if it were.
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.
- 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%.
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.
Here’s a brief explanation of how preferential voting works in Australia: https://www.chickennation.com/voting/
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.
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
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.
Respect and derision are not the only choices.
e: for example, failure to even acknowledge is a deeper social slight. But that requires a bit of sophistication.
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?
if you’re a public figure like trump, the least you can do is muster a bit of empathy.
Public figures have even more reasons not to muster empathy for genocide supporters
Wish we had public figures that were unbothered by it for cool reasons.
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.
I hope this guy has a very slow and painful death.
At this point, I’d prefer a fast and painful death. We need this fucker gone.
Fellas, fellas, we can do both. We can wish for him to instantly fall into a coma in which he cannot wake up from. Where all he feels is pain, and agony suffering to survive himself, inside his own brain. Where the only way out to end the torture is for him to push his ego aside, and admit that he’s never been the smartest person in any room.
Until that happens, he stays artificially life supported in his own coma of hell. Where time fluctuates for him 5 minutes is actually 5 months. And he’ll stay in that state for years.
Suddenly and instantly gone from our lives, but surviving in a never ending battle against his own ego which he’ll never overcome.
Give him the Ultimate Custom Night treatment.
little known fact: politicians in comas are still allowed to work. :(
From home, even.
They gonna auto pen the shit out of Trump while claiming that each of them have had a very nice 20 minute conversation with him the other day.
It would be quite something seeing a politician on life support in the Capitol lol
have you seen mitch mcconnel, nobody has and hes being proxied by his “assistants”
there’s this thing called locked in syndrome. While not painful, I hope he gets it and all he can do is blink.
I think I’ve heard of that, if it’s what I’m remembering.
There was this kid in tge 1960s. He got hit by a car, but didn’t die. He wasn’t in a coma, but it looked like he was in a coma but awake.
He was kept on life support, but really the life support wasn’t needed. They found he was actually breathing just fine. But they kept him on it, in his living room.
He was just a kid. Like 7 years old.
Flash forward to the late 90s and he, now nearly 40 was propped up on the couch like normal. His mom was watching wheel of fortune. Then his mom just hears her son take a guess at the puzzle. Not only was it the right answer, but it was the first words he had spoken in like 35 years.
Turns out his mom would watch wheel of fortune, and jeapordy every night. And every night in his own head he would play along.
The story never explains how he snapped out of it. He just took a guess at the wheel of fortune answer just as he’d done for years. This time it was verbal.
The son later on asked his mom if she remembered a moment that had happened in the 70s. His mom walked into the room, saw him, and said “Why won’t you just die already? You’re tearing this family apart. We can’t keep funding your burden…”
And then she left the room. Never to speak of it again.
That moment lived rent free in this guys head for 20+ years. Everyday knowing he’s hurting his family. Everyday being a burden. From his own mothers mouth. He’s their burden. That’s the thought he had every day.
And when he asked his mom if she remembered that, she burst into tears. She didn’t remember at all.
So now it’s the 90s. He’s speaking for the first time. His friend who he knew before the accident, left work early. Didn’t even tell anyone he was leaving. He got a text. “John is speaking”. He was in John’s living room within 15 minutes.
This friend had visited him sometimes every day. Sometimes a few times a week. But always with him. And because he had come over, everyday his friend for 30+ years had talked to him as if he were normal. So he learned of his friend’s life in real time. And from Johns point of view, he didn’t even need to catch up, because he was never out of the loop.
One of the first things he wanted to do was to meet his friends wife. He had been married for 10 years, but she never felt comfortable visiting. But his friend would talk about her so much that he felt like he knew her already.
I changed the names. Mostly because I read this story about 15 years ago and don’t remember the names. I’m probably forgetting other details too. It just stuck out to me that his mom, probably in a moment of frustration that she didn’t mean, gave him such mental trauma with just a few sentences that would last a lifetime. And also it stuck out to me how a 7 year old kept his friend in his life, until almost 40 years old without one word spoken from John.
I don’t think the very best thing we can imagine is gonna happen, but you know what does seem more realistic for that reason?
A dystopian horror where they keep him (barely) alive while he’s suffering immensely because they need him as figurehead, in order to continue their fascism. Yes it would be poetic justice for him, but it’s not gonna make anybody else’s life better.
Trump dying will not stop this. He’s a carnival barker and is not really in charge.
I really hope his death is very slow, very painful, and very public. I want him to drag his cursed movement down with him. If he abruptly dies, he’ll be a martyr that bolsters this movement, and that would be worse.
Trump’s perverted brand of charisma is what propelled him to the two-time presidency. It was glaringly obvious in 2017, when the rest of Republicans started competing in who can best emulate his assholery.
Trump dying will not stop this. He’s a carnival barker and is not really in charge.
But he’s the one they’re all unifying behind.
Once he’s gone, everybody else is going to be clamoring to become the next Trump, the next leader of the right wing. And this competition will divide them and turn them against one another. No more cooperation, no more covering for each other’s crimes – they’ll be at each other’s throats, throwing each other under the bus.
Eventually one will probably come out on top, but until then, the infighting over the power vacuum will cripple them.
it will be fun to watch all these right wing grifters infighting as well.
I dunno, the bus is public transportation. Aren’t republicans against that? Throw each other under a cybertruck, maybe.
Eventually one will probably come out on top,
The last major infight was about 16 years ago.
I’m not sure people are acknowledging the amount of money and slavery are behind this movement.
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.
Boneitis.
He basically was that 80’s guy…
I really won’t feel sorry for him,
We have already bought the fireworks & bourbon.
Fireworks and a cold ass brewhaw here!! Cheers
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
⬜ an embarrassing level of dementia
⬜ that it shows Republicans how shit they are
✅ 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
It’s pretty evident that he’s not completely present already.
they will just to weekends at bernies, like they are doing with Mitch mcconnel.
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.
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.
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.
I’m glad Kirk is dead
Kirk died doing what he loved, gunfire.
And Kirk died for what he believed in. Gun rights. Biden prided himself in funding cancer research.
Can’t expect more from the protagonist of the Epstein series
Of course he says this. Everybody knew he would say this. Don’t waste any emotions and time on this.
He is reliably vile.
I will drink in celebration when he is fucking dead.
Regardless of the outcome how it happens.
Let’s start a “How we want him to die.” wish list.
Severely burned while trying to fry a turkey behind the white house.
Trips and falls face first into the reflecting pool and drowns.
Dies of covid due to being unvaccinated.
Shot by his own secret service.
Qatar activates the secret kill switch on Air Force One at 30,000 feet.
Shits himself to death after eating bad lettuce in a Whopper.
Fournier’s gangrene (look it up)
Has a stroke and his staff stand around while he dies on the floor a la Stalin.I want him to have a nightmare that Ivana is alive and preparing to testify, which causes him to sleepwalk and plummet down a flight of stairs.
Then bury him on the golf course somewhere, just like her.
How about “Ritualistically murdered by Stephen Miller, who then drinks his blood to absorb his power.”
I don’t think anyone wants a world where Stephen Miller thinks he has MORE power
Fournier’s gangrene - well this was a joy to discover, thanks for the memories
A disaster like this one during a republican MAGA convention: Erfurt latrine disaster - Wikipedia https://share.google/ZvQo3oRB9ceTBp0D4
I even questioned the sadism in my personal bottle of Danish mead I’ve set aside for Trump’s death already until I read that quote.
Now think I need to help organize a nationwide celebration of Trump’s demise and start getting ready and most importantly, promoting the shit out of it until it’s common knowledge worldwide we will be dancing again that day.
I’m going to crab rave for at least a month. Crab rave every hour on the hour. I’m going to automate it. My liver can’t handle the bourbon anymore so this is all I have.
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.
