They'll manufacture some tale about how he struggled silently with an unrevealed but somehow heroic condition, and they'll say that he kept working despite enduring pain that would drive a lesser man mad.
They (and Pence) will then insist that we must "honor his legacy" by maintaining and expanding the policies that Trump has put forth. Pence will pardon Trump posthumously, and Republicans will shut down any attempt at investigation, out of "respect for the dead."
And, if we'd get lucky twice and Pence should die, then watch McConnell pull some insane bullshit to keep Speaker Pelosi from moving into the White House.
But first things first: let's enjoy the next few days as we await any sign that Trump is infected.
As always, to my lurking fans from the various online conservative cesspit forums: go fuck yourselves. Do us all a favor and throw yourselves on the massive pyre where they cremate Trump's vast and bloated corpse.

Somehow Trump, who insists that the virus is nothing to fear, and who dismisses the need for testing, is terrified of the virus and gets tests several times a week.
The nation will see no greater day in its history than the day Trump dies. I've been hoping to see him have the stroke that he's been telegraphing all these months, but I'd be content to see him cough up a pair of shredded, covid-clotted lungs.

(576 posts)If he is done in (by person or disease) the idiots that preys to him will get their wish someone who can be imoralized.
I'd rather we kicked him out of office, take him to court for everything and see if we can stick some crimes on him
If it turns out that he is untouchable even then only then would I agree ( It would also mean that the rule of law is dead)

(63,208 posts)There seems no such hope, unless we hold the House and retake the Senate in November, which is no certainty.
Of course his cultists will immortalize him, in the same way that they pretend that Reagan was anything other than an incompetent weakling. But they'll do that regardless. If he were dragged from office after being caught sodomizing a dozen goats, his cultists would still like up to snuffle at his taint.
And that goes double for my lurking fans from whatever conservative circle-jerk cesspit they inhabit! Good morning, fuckheads!

(63,208 posts)but at the rate that he's destroying the country, time is of the essence, and I'm willing to forego the pleasure of watching him metaphorically implode as long as he winds up out of the office.
