Contagious to his cult, it is more contagious than Covid I believe. It hit me, I am gonna enjoy watching him suffer and die. From natural cause of course, natural like a virus. Hope there are urinals mounted to his tomb.

Just want to be environmentally sound. There would be hoses leading directly into the casket with a full septic system beneath. Maybe have it recycle over and over like an inside waterfall. Maybe even a number 2 dump system for the real haters.

To make sure that the honored dead had a good supply of food and drink, offerings would be left at the tomb. A few imaginative folks arranged for a basin to collect wine offerings, piping them directly into the sarcophagus.
This did not work out as planned.

including the uninsured.

This is why Trumps followers don't worry, they just go to the emergency room and the hospital has to treat them even if the hospital has sued them before for non payment.

They hate OBAMACARE. They LOVE the ACA. They don’t realize they’re the same thing. They think Obamacare is an insurance plan, like Blue Cross. They don’t have that, and feel really sorry for people who do, because they have great, reasonable insurance that they got through the ACA that CONGRESS passed.

The depth of their ignorance knows no bounds.

I remember seeing the polls how people loved the ACA but hated Obamacare. Sigh.

Racism.

Who are going along, encouraging his meanness and insanity. Trump is just the figurehead.

But the fish rots at the head.

remembers that Trump, in the midst of the worst pandemic in a century, explicitly denied them the ability to get a policy on the ACA exchanges because Obama told some good-natured jokes about him 9 years ago.
