DU has disappointed me yet again

[Orrex]

This is where I go for my first dose of news each day, and this morning there are still no headlines about Trump's death.

Thanks for nothing, DU. See you tomorrow.

[rurallib]

1. hoping for success in your endeavor

[BoRaGard]

2. More drones coming soon. I prophecy.

So stay tuned and you will be rewarded.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

3. He can't die until ...

... they find someone to deliver a eulogy without laughing.

The search continues ...

[mountain grammy]

7. Ha

[IronLionZion]

9. Even AI chatbots can't do that

[ChazInAz]

16. Alas!

We no longer have Groucho, WC Fields or Ambrose Bierce.

[tonekat]

25. Or Christopher Hitchens!

I would love to hear his take!

[wcollar]

49. Don't forget Mark Twain

"I didn't attend his funeral, but I sent a lovely note approving of it."

[AZ8theist]

62. And yet Groucho speaks from the beyond:

[MyOwnPeace]

67. If we can get somebody 'from beyond.....'

My vote would be Molly Ivins!

[SupportSanity]

34. OMG!!! Funny!!! n/t

[Xavier Breath]

45. When the time comes I'm guessing these two won't make the cut.

[malaise]

4. Bwaaaah

Too good😀

[allegorical oracle]

5. Well, he ain't getting any younger. Take heart -- oh how the champagne will pop. nt

[LuckyLib]

81. And there will be dancing in the streets! 💃🏻

[IronLionZion]

6. I've been checking every morning for years

I had a glimmer of hope so many times when it got close, like when he got COVID.

[mountain grammy]

8. Better luck tomorrow.

[nowforever]

11. Fortunately

Dementia is really taking it's toll and he is just an eyelash away from the blithering idiot stage. Vance is a hapless scared puppet, my hope is we make it through the first two years without WWIII breaking out.

[Wicked Blue]

22. Don't worry, President Mush will be in charge

and he will do whatever makes him the most money.

[yellow dahlia]

42. I've been waiting to exhale.

Looks like it will be at least four years...

[aeromanKC]

12. That bottle of Champagne is going to be sweet nectar!!

It's in my fridge just waiting to be popped open. C'mon DU, print the story already!!

[yellow dahlia]

38. Us too. We have a bottle of Moet

with his name on it.

[niyad]

68. I have a bottle of the Widow chilling. My friends and I deserve it ( late

christmas, early birthdays, a world day of celebration, whatever we call it!!!).

[KY_EnviroGuy]

13. Hell, right now, I'd settle for reports of a bad case of diarrhea.

Anything that makes TFG's life miserable is a plus for America......

Well, he does have a horrible case of diarrhea of the mouth......

[PJMcK]

14. Good one! It's like an old joke

Every day, a man goes to the newsstand and pays for the paper. He looks at the front page then tosses it back down in disgust. After weeks of this behavior, the stand's owner asked the man, "Why do you do that every day?" "I'm looking for an obituary," said the man. "But the obits are in the second section," replied the owner. "The obituary I'm looking for will be on the front page!" declared the man.

[eppur_se_muova]

35. Thanks, I was going to post that if no one else did ! I re-read it just recently here on DU, but don't remember ...

who it was that shared it. IIRC it was an old Soviet joke, which helps explain why the man didn't dare say whose obit he was looking for.

[EYESORE 9001]

15. Perhaps we need a series of visualization exercises

Those visions transport me to my happy place.

[allegorical oracle]

41. Yeah...and nothing more than visualization, eh? Reminds me of the "olden" days when the late

Art Bell used to be on the radio. He swore that if his audience just coordinated, and thought the same thoughts, a particular outcome would occur. (No, the hurricanes still struck and no aliens ever landed as best we knew.)

[Greybnk48]

17. I get up every morning for the same reason.

Another disappointing morning. Although JD Vance may be worse than Trump. Trump's a buffoon, but he's a snake.

[niyad]

29. Thankfully, he has all the personality of a pile of trash (and a great deal

less useful), so we possibly would not have the cult-love factor.

[surfered]

18. My feelings

[LetMyPeopleVote]

52. I thought of this meme when I read the OP

[MineralMan]

20. Something about Threads Like This Is Very Disturbing.

I'd rather not see them posted here. But, it's not my site.

[Wicked Blue]

21. You gotta have hope, Orrex

Keep hope alive.

[chouchou]

23. Not to worry. Tomorrow we'll be dancing in the street.

[Autumn]

24. Keep the hope alive. That's all we can do. It's going to happen, it's a fact of life.

[niyad]

26. I share in your disappointment. Every single morning.

That bottle of the good bubbly is still waiting in my fridge.

[doc03]

27. You should use the sarcasm thingy, don't

get my hopes up.

[TommieMommy]

28. I agree 👍 I'm waiting for that to happen too.

I will celebrate

[orleans]

30. lol. i used to go to a twitter feed: "is mitch mcconnell dead yet?" (they posted every day. he never was.) nt

[usonian]

46. Mitch gets treatments.

[ananda]

31. God I was just looking for the same thing!

I'm not looking forward to the new year, to put it
mildly.

[IbogaProject]

32. Out of order

Need to loose a few Reps and Senators enough to alter leadership. Then we would be better prepared for the Constitutional challange of loosing a VP & Prez niminee between 1-06 & 1-20. My unanswered prayers were for some SC vacancies b4 Christmas too. So not much luck. Not wishing any to decease just not able to fulfil roles or w Execs to even be able to nominate cabinent nor take the oath. Whew at best going to be a bumpy 24-48 months.

[NNadir]

33. That reminds me of the old Soviet joke. A man shows up at a news stand every morning, buys the paper, looks...

...at the headline, and then throws the paper in the waste basket.

After a time, the news stand attendant can't stand it, and asks the guy why he does that.

The guy answers, "I'm looking for an obituary."

The news stand attendant says "Those are on the last page."

The guy answers, "The one I'm looking for will be on the front page."

[eppur_se_muova]

36. Ah, you're the one ! I knew I had read that recently (see Reply #14). nt

[calimary]

86. I'm watching the front pages every day.

[LeftishBrit]

87. I bet many Russians right now are looking for the same sort of obituary.

[LeftishBrit]

37. Do you really want President Vance?

[Demobrat]

73. The way I look at it

President Vance would be run by the same people who run President Trump, but the MAGA cult would dissolve, and that can only be a good thing.

So the first thing I do each morning upon awakening is check to see if that vile pig of a man is dead.

[Clouds Passing]

39. It's not DU's fault

[yellow dahlia]

40. Thank you for the good chuckle.

[FakeNoose]

43. I have this funny feeling - next year is going to be different ...

Until then ... keep the faith!

[ThePartyThatListens]

44. Because what you wish on others.

Trump will probably outlive most people on here

[usonian]

47. Since nobody has the cojones to post: Here. WARNING! ⚠️ That face that launched 1000 shits. ⚠️

Not the Simpsons

But it has been floating around the internet for many years.

48. Nice collection!

So what else do you do in your spare time?

[usonian]

54. When not doing computer graphics (less the AI stuff)

I do the usual chores of (mis) managing a three bedroom home, and 7 acres of scrub that keeps growing back.
Some parts are quite steep and require good hiking shoes.


practice classical pieces on the piano

(That's not me)

take some damn fine photographs

I did that!

and assorted other fun things.

P.S. There IS NO spare time.
Having pasta with Mom's recipe meat gravy that I made, tonight.
Quanto Saporito!

And P.P.S. those graphics were created over several years, the ones that I didn't just copy off the internet.

[sprinkleeninow]

83. You made mama's pasta 'gravy' recipe!

That's right. You mentioned once before that you are of Italian heritage influence.
"Quanta si bella!"

[usonian]

85. The store stuff always tasted like pizza sauce.

Simple is beautiful. I still remember the Christmas vigil dinners. Feast of the seven fishes. And learned to make all the good stuff.

Hope I got these right.

This year, I made cioppino with shrimp and scallops. Easy. No more than that.

Grandparents all came from Italy and settled in the Boston area. I am FBI. Full Blooded Italian.

No wonder the music and engineering likes. Following the inventor Macaroni, composer Rotini, and artist of the same name (Redacto)

CIAO!

[Seinan Sensei]

76. Maybe tRump can perform oral sex on a cruise missile

[usonian]

77. Best hummer ever. Nobody can make it ...

Have a good 2025, whatever that means!

At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch-22 over its whole history.

Heller responds,“Yes, but I have something he will never have – ENOUGH.”

[pandr32]

50. I'm disappointed daily as well!

One day, though...

[Different Drummer]

51. I just hope I live to see the day when I'm here and he's not. (nt)

[Marcuse]

53. !

[Kali]

55. LOL

[dmr]

56. Yea, I didn't see it either.

Something's amiss.

[jmowreader]

57. Orrex buys a newspaper every morning...

glances at the front page and hands it back to the cashier. This goes on for weeks until the cashier asks him about it.

"Excuse me, Mr. Orrex, why do you buy a newspaper every morning and give it back to me?"
"I'm looking for an obituary."
"Obituaries aren't on A1."
"This one will be."

[Dave Bowman]

58. Lol, great post.

[Dr. Strange]

59. I'm reminded of the time that Donald Rumsfeld was giving the president his daily briefing.

He concluded it by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

[PortTack]

60. Yup...everyday we all wait for that piece of news!

[LudwigPastorius]

61. This works well as a browser start page:

[WiVoter]

63. Same Here

😢

[ecstatic]

64. that guy is super lucky

Between the covid "scare" and then the 2 so called assassination attempts, it's clear that the universe wants us to suffer through this period for some reason.

[Indyfan53]

65. But then we'd be stuck with Vance

[Orrex]

75. Then I'll have something new to wish for.

[Meowmee]

66. Same here 😹

[YoshidaYui]

69. I FOR one hopes

his ass will explode ...

[Blue Owl]

70. Sounds like a Festivus "Airing of Grievances"

I hear you....

[Dan]

71. I am concerned about this

Because I’m not sure where the urinal will drain from his grave?

[alarimer]

72. Hope springs eternal, though.

I wanted Carter to outlive him and he was 100!

[Blue_Tires]

74. I'm still in the planning stages

😅

[LeftInTX]

78. You know DU would crash because of the traffic!

Heck.. maybe the entire internet would crash!

[Eko]

79. I hear ya.

[tclambert]

80. Really, how hard is it to hit one guy with a lightning bolt?

He spends a lot of time on golf courses, too, just asking for it.

[czarjak]

82. Never had a welcome to wear out either.

[EJRocketMan]

84. I'm with you.....

every morning I wake up, I'm wishing he won't.

[apeshot]

88. Sorry to disappoint

The Universe and its supposed Master have a wicked sense of humour. fat trump will live way past 100, and will be the Esteemed Ruler, the Respected And Beloved Dear Leader of his own Amerika, until that day arrives. And he'll have help from the much younger Elon Musk in securing their oligarchy, until that ultimate lovers' quarrel, at an unknown point somewhere in the future. Of course, I hope I am wrong--but I've been using that standard disclaimer since 2016 or so. It sucks to always be right!

[samnsara]

89. im still waiting for dead pool...or better yet..

a GoFundMe ...
