Trump is dead, or going to be very soon, isn't he?
What beer should I buy to celebrate?
Enjoy the very momentary joy of trumps death when it happens.
If it happens in this term, you'll find out exactly what Vance is.
The Queen mean girl of the Nazi techright.
They will need 24 hour security to keep people from pissing on his grave. It won't be enough though.
I wonder what song will start trending when the news breaks out, maybe I should start making a Playlist
Ding dong.
Margaret Thatcher is dead
A gun, maybe?
Well I am in Canada, and nation with only 30+ firearms per 100 people. Maybe... maybe... maybe...
absolutely, will need to 'protect' yourself from right wing nutjobs
I dont think so.
Maybe if he's had a stroke or something, it might take them a few days to figure out the prognosis and decide what to do.
They would already have a plan in place for his death and would implement immediately if that happened.
Sadly he isn't. I drank the beer i bought in disappointment and not celebration. He showed up for another golf game recently and didn't seem any different. He is in terrible health no doubt and JD Vance would not say that he is ready to step up as president if nothing was the matter.
When Trump dies, no matter how, it will cause a fracture in the MAGA movement. The only reason why Trump is tolerated is not because of any intelligence or expertise, but he is absolutely able to command a hardcore fanatical base. Even Steve Bannon said that. They simply dont have a replacement for someone as charismatic as him.
Six Schlitzes... or whatever's free.
Personally, I’m going with Guinness.
I'd rather have Kilkenny. It is a true Irish beer that is owned by Irish people, and I support the Irish and their support of Palestinians.
While I also admire the Irish support of Palestinians not being mass-murdered, and despise the Guinness family, I'll have a nice Belgian monk beer, or three. Trappiste Rochefort 10 is a good choice, but there are many others.
Well it seems that Trump is not dead... at least for now. There is no saying he won't be dead soon, given his clearly failing health. Might as well drink to the fact that they at least hinted strongly that he is not long for this world. They can stop an assassin's bullets, but not mother nature's course.
Also Kudos on your fine taste in beer.
A stout. Strong and sweet.
