I hope this worthless piece of shit dies soon but I hope it is a slow painful, pathetic death not a merciful quick passing from the shithole this fascist will leave behind in his wake.
"And while the District seems tired, Trump seems more so," Karem wrote. "It doesn’t even seem like the president is trying his hardest to lie to us anymore. He just repeats the same lies with less energy, as if he too has grown weary of his own rhetoric. He’s telling us to turn the page on the Epstein scandal. But he’s on that next page too."

I was actually thinking of upcoming trump appearances being like the BTTF2 Max Headroom/Regan Cafe 80s scene.

No no no. Trump wasn't Max Headroom. He was Biff! Yes, we ARE living in the bad timeline. Was that not clear to everybody?

And Putin had terminal cancer. In 2022.
Thorry@feddit.org · 19 pts · 181d
Well the thing is, if you are filthy rich and have such resources at your disposal, what is terminal for one person doesn't have to be terminal to another. Medical science has come a long way, alas capitalism has ensured the best stuff is only available for the richest.
You might say hur dur I live in EU land and we have (almost) free top of the line healthcare. Yes, that's true, hello fellow EU healthcare enjoyer. A close relative of mine still died while on a waiting list, as there were more patients than treatment options available. I'm not saying if they were rich they would have cut in line, but it does happen.
UnspecificGravity@piefed.social · 10 pts · 180d
Rich people get treatments that aren't even available to people on public health schemes like you.
halcyoncmdr@piefed.social · 7 pts · 180d
They can and will pay for unapproved treatments that no one covers yet because they're still experimental.

He may not have cancer, but when interviewing Shoigu at the start of the war, he sure gripped that table like his bowels were about to fall out of his asshole. Something was definitely wrong with him health wise at the time.

My grandfather had terminal cancer for like 4 years as an upper middle class man in his 30s back in the early 1980s. So I could see someone with Putin's influence being able to stave off the reaper for longer with modern medicine and effectively infinite resources.

The Atlantic does well. And remember, 2 reporters from there are the only reason we had daily, nationwide numbers on COVID when it hit. (The Reveal podcast has a 3 part series detailing those events.)
Pro publica. The PBS offerings by state. Frontline. Reveal.
There’s still something to be said for local news. Pull up hoa news on YT, as one example, you will get a wall of detailed, local news hoa stories.

What the fuck does **ex-**White House insider mean? Do you, by any chance, mean Guy Who Knows Fuck-All About the Current Ongoings in the White House?
halcyoncmdr@piefed.social · 2 pts · 180d
Could mean that.
It could also mean someone that used to work there, no longer do, but still has friends there that tell them about the ongoing shit show.
I still talk to old coworkers and get updates about the crap going on at places I used to work. In a place like D.C. where maintaining networking and unofficial communication channels are the way a lot of things get done, this isn't a stretch at all.

I mean, there’s nothing new here other than the city of DC is “hollow” and “low energy”. Trump’s lack of zest for his usual demented ramblings is just what happens when a snake eats an elephant. They just sit there for a long time.

Oh great now we're at the Kim Jong Il stage of his reign.
dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 181d
Some context for others here, Kim Il Sung is dead but is still technically the North Korean supreme head of state. He is the "Eternal President" with his successors deriving their notional authority to rule directly from him, but apparently officially deferring to his corpse should the question of precedence come up.
In case anyone was wondering, Kim Kong Il holds (not held) the slightly less exalted titles of "Eternal General Secretary" (of the worker's party) and "Eternal Chairman" (of the national defense commission). Even though he is quite definitively also dead.
And while we're at it, Francisco Franco is also still dead.
abbiistabbii@piefed.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 181d
I was comparing with Kim jong-il because he was always very ill and they hid that especially towards the end.
dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 181d
Ah, yes. Same deal with Francisco Franco in Spain.
Presumably once Trump finally croaks he will not remain supreme leader. One can hope, anyway.

Armando Ianucci better start writing the follow-up to The Death Of Stalin.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 180d
Trump is nothing like Stalin and comparing them is an insult to the successes of Stalin.
Not to minimize how much of a vile human being Trump is, he could never hope to be as efficient in killing as many people as Stalin did.
Trump relies on every piece of shit in his horror show of a cabinet to administer power, and is completely dependent on his cult of brainwashed racists to hold onto that power.
even if Trump were to die today, nothing will change until every single criminal in his employ faces justice.
CritFail@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 180d
Everyone knows the sequel is worse (except T2 and Aliens), and by no means do I think Trump competent. However the power dynamics at play in the White House and the character deficiencies across his cronies do rhyme with those of Stalin's. I foresee a similar power vacuum when the cult of personality similarly dies with no clear logical person to replace him (he is too narcissistic to allow JD to take any initiative not in Trump's name, so absolutely no guarantees Trump supporters will switch loyalty to the couch-fucker-in-chief).
