Why, why, why can't he just die?!

[Grim Chieftain]

I am so very sorry, friends, to post such a thread, but my heart is breaking for all the damage he has done, the lives that have been lost under his reign of terror, the pain and suffering he has caused with jobs lost, health care lost or priced out of reach. the false arrests of law-abiding citizens, families torn apart...the list goes on and on, but I know I'm preaching to the choir here.

He's even evaded three or possibly four assassination attempts. He is evil personified, and yet he's in the White House, living in the lap of luxury, destroying what this country has held dear for 250 years.

I'm a Baby Boomer; we've fought the good fights, stood up in masses to protect and defend this country, and Trump and his evil horde are destroying it every single day. Yes, every single day. I fear for the young people who will inherit this horror.

In what should be my golden years, I hate to wake up to this every morning. It hurts beyond words,

1. Well, for one reason

we'd miss Orrex's daily threads!

But that's the only thing in the "plus" category.

[sop]

32. Some of us are willing to make sacrifices. Probably even Orrex.

[niyad]

34. Orrex can shift to, " He's STILL dead", and everyone can celebrate,

post positive things they are doing to heal themselves from this trauma.

Maybe things like "my blood pressure is down from 200/145 to 130/89. Or. ."I actually slept 4 whole hours", or. . "no longer stress eating". . .things like that.

[ananda]

2. I decided he's living on hate.

Only the good die young.

[vapor2]

6. Yes, he and miller are consumed with HATE

[bdamomma]

18. Both

of them will reap the wrath that they will deserve. Evil and hate will get toppled, with love and our determination.

[badhair77]

3. Yep.

Couldn’t agree more. And his disgusting family and cronies are right there with him.

[Blues Heron]

4. Somehow the rednecks started voting for the oligarch class and here we are.

[Blue Owl]

5. tRump has sucked all the joy out of living in America

I can’t wait for him to croak out — it’ll be a day of massive celebration

[3catwoman3]

41. "tRump has sucked all the joy out of living in America."

This is why I liken him to a tapeworm - ugly to look at, and destructive to the lifeform it infests.

To liken him to pretty much any other creature is an insult to that creature.

[keep_left]

7. Because he's got platinum-plated health care that most...

...of us can't even imagine, not even if we're C-suite executives at Fortune 500 companies (the late Dick Cheney is a possible exception here). It's likely that all that hand bruising is from regular IV infusions of various biologics to treat multiple conditions (e.g. vascular disease, dementia onset). I doubt it's from aspirin therapy as Trump claims; I'm on aspirin therapy and don't bruise anywhere near that badly, even when I really whack my hand on something. And of course, he's very well-protected by the Secret Service (though we keep hearing embarrassing stories every now and then about hookers and blow).

For just one example, Trump's battle with Covid, to wit:

...One of Trump's buddies who was arguably in better shape than he was, died from Covid. That apparently got old Donnie "really shook", as the kids say...If it wasn't for the absolutely heroic measures Trump received--including something like 20 courses of Regeneron antibody therapy--he wouldn't have survived.

Trump did absolutely everything wrong about Covid, including concealing information (which he had obtained through intelligence briefings) about its lethality. Then when he contracted Covid through his own stupidity--probably at one of his idiotic rallies---he got absolutely heroic measures which saved his life...

[Grim Chieftain]

8. Yep, he killed thousands due to his mishandling of Covid

He even stared down a solar eclipse, and nothing happened to him.

I always thought being a good, kind, benevolent person was the way to go. Apparently, I was wrong. Evil is impervious.

[yourout]

36. Like the song says... Only the good die young.

The evil fuckers are like Los Angeles traffic jams.... They go on forever.

[yellow dahlia]

44. He killed millions.

He removed CDC personnel from China in 2018/2019 - approx 30 experts. I believe if they had remained in place, and able to have surveillance on the situation, they could have locked it down.

30. I hope they're using some untested experimental treatments on him

that fail spectacularly.

9. "Why do the wicked prosper, growing old and powerful?"

[chicoescuela]

10. True, but maybe there is no just god? And that's why he is still here?

[Grim Chieftain]

11. Good question.

It has really shaken my faith.

[chicoescuela]

13. I know, right?

[GopherGal]

31. TSF's continued existence and prosperity

really tips the scale from "loving and merciful God" to "cruel and vengeful God", provided God exists at all, that is. All the while I hope that there really still is a God, just so that he and his minions can eventually receive the punishment they deserve, but seem to be evading in this lifetime.

[BaronChocula]

12. Faster, P****-Grabber! Die! Die!

Thank you Russ Meyer.

[Aristus]

14. He has access to the best health care in the world.

A President of the United States has not died in office of natural causes for over eighty years. I think we're doomed to another three years of this hell, and who knows how many years after of just trying to get this country back on track.

[bdamomma]

15. We all have dig

deep in our souls, and say after all who have defended this country are we going to let these monsters destroy 250 years?????

[OldBaldy1701E]

Julius Caesar, Act 3 Scene 2.

That is my concern.

19. Beautiful heartfelt post, Grim....

We are all on the same page...

Thanks...........

[Grim Chieftain]

20. Thank you, friend

That means a lot.

[BeneteauBum]

21. From another Boomer

Yep.

Peace ☮️

[Warpy]

22. G0od don't want him and Satan's araid he'll take over

Seriously, I don't want him dead. I want him disgraced, isolated, and powerless as no one takes his calls any more, afraid they'll catch more cooties. It's the worst thing you can do to a malignant narcissist, make him irrelevant and make sure he knows it.

[electric_blue68]

25. I get you. But still being alive is....

further encouragement (is not quite the correct description of what i mean, but too tired to think of it) for the Magat crowd?

[Warpy]

37. ;Figurehead?

I don't think the image of astooped old man drooling on himself is going to do it, whether or not they try to manipulate it with AI slopmeister videos. The longer the true cultists are fixated on him, the less chance the GOPee will come up with someone to take his place, the ral morons out there standing by their wreck of a man until he's been dead for 50 years and there is no chance any of the sightings of him around the world are real (see: Elvis).


That's why I'm perfectly content to have him live on in isolation and irrelevance.

[electric_blue68]

39. Maaaaybe. I guess continueed to being "inspired" by his meaness, and cruelty.

Not that others are cruel (Miller!), but he's one of the loudest, nastiest, and, of course, had the biggest megaphone of The Presidency!

[dedl67]

23. Conditional life expectancy

Conditional life expectancy is how many additional years, on average, one is expected to live, given that they have reached a given age. Unfortunately, in this case (i.e., Trump), according to demographic statistics. "A 79-year-old male in the United States can expect to live for approximately another 7 to 10+ years, with many reaching ages 86–90 or beyond." So don't get your hopes up.

[Wednesdays]

42. True that, BUT...

...he could be merely a shell of a man in those final years.

[haryn]

24. I so wish it was different

I, too, am a boomer with the same past experience and feel exactly the same as you have described. Even more than my hatred of him, though, is my hatred for those who put and keep him in power….with apparently no consequence other than acquiring more power and money - an insatiable need which they are all satisfying while watching the death throes of a country and its citizens. I didn't know I was capable of such hatred.

[Grim Chieftain]

27. It is so hard to face this new reality

And welcome to DU, haryn. Great people here.

[haryn]

29. Trying

to believe it will not continue to be the new reality.
Thanks for the welcome, I've been around awhile.

[Initech]

26. This is all because a garbage "news" station decided to pass itself off as "entertainment".

And people choose to willfully and voluntarily choose to consume this network's garbage instead of learning the actual facts for themselves. And the founder of this garbage "news" station is also in the Epstein files. So much shit can be traced directly back to this shitty entertainment channel that it's not funny.

Even after the turd is long gone, we'll still have to deal with this shit. It sucks. Fox is a virus.

[Wednesdays]

43. This. nt

[doc03]

28. It is obvious prayers don't work. nt

[Bluestocking]

33. My patience is also running thin

However we are not at the tipping point yet. I am not sure what it is going to take and if we will ever get there. MAGATs are really awful creatures.

[No Vested Interest]

35. VP Vance would take over and be no better - and perhaps for 4+ more years after 2028....

Let's just retake Congress big-time and make life very hard for all connected.

[Vogon_Glory]

38. I'm heartbroken too, my health isn't as good as I'd like, but I hope to live long enough to see how many people and how

Many places will band together to burn him in effigy after he kicks off. It’s not going to be just progressives and Democrats, but a fair few habitual Republicans and former Conservatives who’ll be there at the revival of a long-forgotten American custom.

[BigmanPigman]

40. He's a vengeful sadist and is living just to torture us.

[Jack Valentino]

45. I STILL say, young Crooks was a "prophet"---

even if he didn't realize how much that was true---
or if he was 'disturbed'--- no matter...
if he had succeeded, we'd be in a better place now, wouldn't we??--- IMHO--

and I'd still like to 'trade the results' between him and the
Charlie Kirk shooter ! Kirk was a NOBODY, and still is

[Grammy23]

46. I believe the old saying -- too mean to die --

applies here. tRump is evil personified and finds joy in all the crimes and harm he commits. By all rights he should have died of Covid . That would have been perfect karma. But we don’t get to choose what gets him. Mark my words, one day it will all end. According to some experts willing to give their opinion, tRumpolini doesn’t have long for this world. He is shriveling up in front of us. But symptoms (and family history) are there. A large number of us around the world have definitely planned to toast the occasion and possible dance in the streets!
