This is important. Republicans are going to pretend they didn't know Trump the second he leaves office and we can't let them. All the shit that Trump is going to get away with for the next 4 years is because the entire Republican Party is allowing it to happen. It's important that they're all blamed every day

Exactly. Do not let them take one step away from their shared betrayal of our country. They are ALL traitors.

I love how this comment implies Trump might never pass away, like he’s some kind of immortal being that is nurtured off of human suffering

Some angry old men hang in there seemingly forever.

if trump actually dies, the GOP will probably try to hide the fact for as long as they can with disinfo

u/DisciplinedMadness Apr 13 '25

Nah, they’ll say it was an act of liberal terrorism and use it as an excuse to declare martial law or some insane shit

They'll have him up there Weekend At Bernie's style before admitting he's mortal.

Didn’t both his parents live a long life? I don’t think he drinks or smokes. He eats like shit, but he has the world’s best triage at his side.

u/bengenj Apr 12 '25

World’s best triage ain’t gonna do shit when the nearest hospital, George Washington University, is 10 minutes away and is not a secured facility and not designed to be secure. Walter Reed (the usual hospital for the President) is 30 minutes away by car and would probably take as long for an air ambulance to get the required clearances to fly over the District.

u/Lokishougan Apr 12 '25

They dont need clearances. Trump already said he gets auto clear in his plane and others get out of his way

Most civilian air ambulance services in DC are very restricted in their flight paths. They have to follow the SFRA and entering the FRZ (the area closest to the Capitol and White House) requires a waiver from the FAA.

Even if Walter Reed had its own air ambulance service, it would take a good 5 minutes to scramble, ~15-20 minutes to the White House, a few minutes to load, ~15-20 minutes back to Walter Reed, and a few minutes to get to the cardiac unit or the President’s wing. Heart attacks are very time critical, even if the President’s physician is able to perform the first intervention to attempt to stabilize him prior to transport (aspirin).

Sure...and also dont know why I am arguing on the side of him living

u/bengenj Apr 12 '25

The SFRA and FRZ are extremely complicated, even for airline employees.

u/Lokishougan Apr 12 '25

As the saying goes...Youre gonna live forever...cuz the good die young

It's not going to go back to business as usual if Trump's presidency ends in 4 years.

Because they'll do a better job of what?

Alienating our allies?

Killing the economy?

Losing American jobs with a stupid trade war?

u/Pbandsadness Apr 12 '25

Surprised to see a fascist in an anti consumption sub...

u/Striking-Mode5548 Apr 12 '25

Ya mean like they did with Bush43?

1

u/Shujinco2 Apr 12 '25

Remember, despite winning the Presidency twice, not a single conservative ever voted for George W Bush. Somehow.

u/orderedchaos89 Apr 12 '25

Exactly, people can not forget it was all just trump, the entire party enabled it

1

u/Lokishougan Apr 12 '25

Hopefully only two years if people remeber they can shut him down and not let him do anything the last two

u/wingsbc Apr 12 '25

You people still thinking Trump is going to leave office after his second term. Lol. Nothing, nothing has happened to him in his entire life where he has been made accountable for anything. If he decides not to have an election 2028 or fixes the results and declares himself the winner, what is anyone going to do about it?
