I’m also hearing an unconfirmed report that he fell a second time once inside a room or office, but you know how the rumor mill is.

    Idk. Knowing that he knows he’s old, weak, frail, and vulnerable, and knowing that he’s probably in ongoing pain from toppling down stairs, makes me happier than him just straight up passing.

      When you’re old, a bad fall can indicate the final 2 years of your life. Reduced mobility, depression, and injury sap what little remains of you. Despite hating him, I sympathize. There’s nothing to be gained from his current state. Were he still leading the country to its ruin, I’d be ecstatic, but now he’s just an old idiot potentially headed for hospice. Trump should take the stairs more often

        40 fucking years of actively supporting the destruction of the United States and you feel pity for him?

        God, when you ask yourself why this is happening - it’s this. Blind empathy has been the 1%s greatest tool. I will not feel an ounce of sympathy nor empathy for this fucking ghoul, I hope he lives every single moment of the rest of his life in agonizing pain - it still isn’t enough. 40 fucking years.

          Reveling in others’ pain chips away at your conscience, for better or worse. I’ll revel when the violence is pragmatic, not when it’s popular to do so.

            I’m not reveling in violence, I’m reveling in justice. He deserves to suffer for what he’s done.

              I don’t see the distinction, personally. Shoot me a message when someone actively harming the world falls down a flight and I’ll laugh along. Watching an impotent politician becoming a cripple just reminds me of my own mortality, which is hardly constructive. Now, 10 more of them going down the steps is a message and a vibe. But this is just uninteresting to me.

        Consider if he’s incapacitated. That takes away 1 vote in the senate. If he dies, the KY governor is required to pick from choices provided by the party of the departing senator. So they would necessarily be republican.

          I’d be hard pressed to believe they would be as evil and conniving as Mitch McConnell. So unless he’s incapacitated until he’s dead over a period of three years, without a single chance to be his fully awful self in the slightest…

          I’d still prefer my first choice.

          Edit: 2027 not 2028 for his last term.
