Is he dead yet?

[Orrex]

Finally taken out by joint NATO/Ukraine strike team?

Finally suffocated after having his head up Putin's ass for so many years?

Decades of syphilis finally caught up with him?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

1. No he is not dead. Give it up. . . . nt

[Ocelot II]

2. It will happen someday,

and it's comforting to think about.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. Yes, but the daily post is a less than useless expenditure of human effort, a waste. . . . nt

[murielm99]

5. Skittles needs to show up and kick your ass.

We need a little levity in these times.

[Nimble_Idea]

11. yeah right, we in the same board? hahah

levity, apparently to some, is just showing up at politicians' vacations and causing trouble.

don't boo, vote. is too hard.

[Ocelot II]

8. The OP is capable of deciding whether their post is a wasted effort,

and we are capable of deciding whether to participate in it or ignore it. So are you; suit yourself.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Of course they are. I simply expressed my opinion that it is a wasted effort so logically they should give it up. nt

[Orrex]

31. How much effort do you expend in telling DUers what they shouldn't post?

This daily deathwatch takes minimal effort, even when you factor in my dealing with the whiny hecklers.

And you're conflating logic with your own personal preference.


Thanks for the kick, and tune in tomorrow!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

34. yawn

[Biophilic]

42. You put a lot of effort into saying it was a waste of time and effort. nt

[True Dough]

66. You got a K&R from me, Orrex

And I look forward to tomorrow's thread. One of these days, you're going to get the answer you're looking for and we'll all rejoice!

[xocetaceans]

97. I applaud your consistency...

... and have to say that hope springs eternal. Someday, the answer will be in the affirmative, and that will be a better day for the world as a whole. So, please do keep posting that slightly oblique but Schadenfreude-inducing query.

[Mr. Evil]

69. Opinions vary.

I enjoy the 'death watch of TSF' that Orrex posts. They give us a moment, if only for a brief respite of our unprecedented times, to manage to crack a smile. Is that really so terrible and annoying? They usually only take about 5 seconds to read. If those precious 5 seconds are just too much for you, then just skip them.

[Orrex]

103. Thank you for this!

And Felon47 himself provides so many topical lethal options that the OP itself is quick to devise.

Still, not to everyone's liking, apparently!

[Mr. Evil]

114. I have to admit,

most mornings after I pour my first cup of coffee, I check the news (DU first as always) and hope that his ultimate demise has finally come to pass.

Your small posts asking this question daily, not only puts a brief smile on all who see and read them but, they also wonder if it has finally happened, as well. Because if it hasn't, it means another day of destruction and horrors that he and his sado-bro (Elon) will inflict upon the people of the US.

[Joinfortmill]

10. I look forward to it. You are free to scroll by it.

[58Sunliner]

17. Then you miss the commiseration and comradery in a difficult point in time.

Humor is essential.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. Yes humour is effective and recommended. . . . . nt

[58Sunliner]

111. Sorry, I should not have labeled your post pedantic.

[debm55]

18. I enjoy it.

[Orrex]

51. It baffles me that some will insist that these posts are a waste of time...

as if each one of them doesn't generate dozens of responses of people who likewise see it as a lighthearted way to let off a little steam.

Throughout Trump45, and the endlessly futile Garland investigation, and now Trump47, a certain contingent of DUers has taken it upon themselves to decree what can and can't be posted, all while insisting that they're not telling anyone what can and can't be posted.

I don't understand the value of such petty contrarianism.


Thank you for your reply, and be sure to tune in tomorrow!

[Mr. Evil]

74. Please keep them coming!

I thoroughly enjoy your 'TSF deathwatch' posts. My prediction is that he'll ultimately vapor lock on the toilet trying to heave out his last meals of Quarter Pounders and buckets of KFC.

[niyad]

78. You actually had me worried today. .I looked and looked, no deathwatch!

Panic!!! Concern (knowing you were in migraiine country yesterday)!!! My favourite thread is always there to enjoy with my coffee, but there it was not!!!

WHEWWWWW!! Now I can go on with the rest of my day, reassured.

[Orrex]

102. Thank you!

Despite my three-hour post-work nap last night, I still slept like a stone all night.

I'm in the hangover phase now. Sill feeling icky but much improved. Progress!

[niyad]

104. LOTS more coffee! and lemonade. I forget the science of it, but, many years

ago, it was recommended to me to drink a glass of strong lemonade after each cup of coffee. I seem to remember that it helped a bit.

[Orrex]

107. My wife happened to make an excellent lemon meringue pie yesterday

Maybe I should tell her that I need to eat all of it for medicinal reasons?

[niyad]

117. Now that is a brilliant idea. Tell her that one of your health advisors

recommendedd it!

[jrthin]

47. Your opinion of the post is exactly my opinion of your post.

[thinkingagain]

53. Yes but someday we will be able to come in heee and someone will post YES

Oh happy day!

But we could expand on

55. Then keep scrolling.

There are other worlds than these.

[Scrivener7]

56. No it isn't.

[niyad]

79. It keeps me amused, a sufficient reason for its existence.

[Orrex]

7. Once again we hear from DU's self-appointed gatekeepers.

You are aware, aren't you, that we don't actually have to submit our content for your approval before posting?

If you find these daily threads so egregious, then perhaps you should ask to have some sort of "ignore" function created, or maybe some way to trash a thread that upsets you so deeply.


Anyway, thanks for the kick!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Nonsense and false premises. I have no gatekeeper control, but I'm as free as you to express opinions

1) I'm no gatekeeper and you know that perfectly well.

2) Take your own advice and stop trying to "gatekeep" my post.

3) You know nothing about my level of upset. I am not upset. I simply expressed an opinion. That has led you to make false assumptions which is a mistake that leads to more mistakes.

[Orrex]

22. And now gaslighting!

"I'm not gate-keeping by telling you not to post; you're gatekeeping by telling me not to tell you not to post"

You act as though I haven't been seeing your shtick for years.


Thanks for the kick!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Spin it out recursively as long as you want. . . .nt

[Orrex]

26. Thanks for the kick!

See you tomorrow!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. No you won't see me here tomorrow. . . . . nt

[Orrex]

33. Then my day will be all the brighter!

Thanks for giving me something else to look forward to!

[niyad]

80. Cuing Lady Violet.

[debm55]

20. I enjoy it Orrex. Continue with it.

[Orrex]

24. TBH, the curmudgeons make me all the more eager to continue!

And after Trump shuffles off this fetid orange coil, there are two more deathwatches on deck, so the grumblers really need to come up with a coping strategy.

[jrthin]

48. Orrex, keep up the good work. I hear myself asking this question daily and seeing

your daily post on this question makes me smile. Thank you.

[Auggie]

61. I love these threads and look forward to them

[Orrex]

63. Thank you! Apparently they're not for everyone.

[vapor2]

12. Never say never

we can surely hope and he looks just awful

[republianmushroom]

84. Naw, a count down maybe in order but for now this will do.

[Dulcinea]

95. I don't wish death on him.

I want him to live long enough to fail miserably and be reviled and vilified as the worst president in history. That would be worse than death for him.

[hlthe2b]

4. ...

[MiHale]

6. Could be soon if he keeps pissing off the world ...

[birdographer]

81. This is my hope, all in one basket

The more people he doesn’t just piss off but the more damage he does to their economies and general way of life, the more my hope rises that someone will send a hero to put us all out of our misery. Sure, we will still have the rest of them, but first things first.

It’s bordering on OCD how often I come to this site to see if he has died since the last time I checked! It can happen any moment, day or night. I don’t care how, though I would prefer something unpleasant. In my magical thinking, I transport him to the most war-torn section of Ukraine wearing only his diaper.

9. Again defying convention, rotted from the dick up?

are dead set against him

[Orrex]

25. Except for those cranky few who find these deathwatches intolerable

[malaise]

36. Meh!

I’ll be posting on your thread everyday until that death announcement or mine😀

[bluestarone]

27. NO! The only reason i can think of is

There has got to be a battle going on between Heaven and Hell about WHO gets HIM.

[Orrex]

35. Couldn't they just split the difference and blast him into nothingness?

Everybody wins.

[bluestarone]

37. Could be discussing THAT

As we speak. I will settle for ANY plan they decide on!!

[niyad]

83. I keep telling people, my cousin does NOT want that orange rot in HiS

Overcome from backwash of catsup due to SNL skit and European leaders thumbing their nose at him & pootin?

38. I look forward to this post every day

And I love seeing what new things you have come up with. I laugh particularly hard at ones that refer to recent events. Your daily post helps me to cope with the daily trauma.

[Orrex]

43. Thank you for the kind words!

The first time I posted the deathwatch, it was simply a way to vent my disgust and frustration. But it got such a warm and enthusiastic response (notwithstanding a few grouchy naysayers) that I was inspired to continue.

I'm very pleased to bring a smile to your day!

[RockCreek]

45. I look forward to pressing recommend every day

Just one of those little happy rituals that are an oversized help these days

[William Seger]

62. I haven't "wasted" nearly as much time on this as I have on Wordle, Waffle, and Sudoku...

... but all four are now on my daily "mental health regimen."

[RockCreek]

110. Thanks!

You just reminded me to do Wordle!

[people]

39. I always look forward to this hopeful question! Thanks!

[Orrex]

41. Thank you!

It's fun to post the daily deathwatch, but it's even more fun to read the replies!

[SheltieLover]

46. Hope springs eternal

Ty for these threads!

[jls4561]

49. Never underestimate the value of karma. Skunks will come.

Many years ago, a horrible yuppie couple moved into the house across the street. Mr horrible yuppie was one of those bike riders who would drive his BMW miles away to ride his fancy bike. But occasionally he would deign to ride his overpriced cycle on our hill.
One day I was taking the puppy for a walk and Mr horrible yuppie was coming back from his horrible yuppie excursion. Puppy slipped his collar and realizing he was free, naturally ran after that threat in the road and barked at it.
And Mr. Horrible Yuppie paused his bike and KICKED HIM! Puppy yelped and I corralled him and went back in the house. I was furious.
I told husband what happened and said “I’m so mad! I’m going to sneak through the drain pipe under the road tonight and spread cat food around their house! Skunks will come to eat the cat food and stink them up!”
Husband, who knew that only one of us could be righteously indignant and vengeful at any given time, said “Don’t do it!” “I don’t care, I’m going to do it! He kicked the puppy!” Husband pointed out that these were the type of people who would not only get me hauled off to jail, but would also sue us for everything we were worth. He made me promise not to go through the drain pipe and spread cat food.
About a week later I get home from work and husband greets me with “Well, you did it.” “Did what?”
Turns out when hubby got home from work, Mrs horrible yuppie yells at him in the driveway . “Your cat is in my basement!” Husband is puzzled. Mrs HY continues “Your cat is in my basement. Don’t you have a black and white cat?” Husband informs her that we have a fluffy grey cat and an orange tabby, but no black and white cat, then goes back in the house and waits for me.
I swore I didn’t do it. I promised you I wouldn’t.
Husband just grins and says “You may not have gone through the drainpipe, but you definitely did it.”
An exterminator’s tent appeared over the house, and shortly thereafter the HYs moved.
So don’t underestimate karma.

Besides, speculating on horrible ways to bring about Drumph’s demise is fun.

Tries on a pair of tacky (tm) golden Trump tennis shoes, but can’t figure out how to tie the laces, so trips, falls into a piece of furniture contaminated by Elon’s X-boy’s latest bugger, contracts some disease RFK Jr
has ignored, sickens, dies. Body too toxic to be touched, so sealed in a lead vault and shipped to Nevada with the rest of the nuclear waste.

[Orrex]

59. Is that skunk still available for a clandestine trip to the White House?

[jls4561]

72. I will check on her. It was a her, she made a nest and graced the horrible yuppies win baby skunks.

In the meantime, could you check and get me a map of the drain pipes at the White House? They hear when SMelania ruined the Rose Garden, a whole new drainage system was installed.

[in2herbs]

105. In real life I've had the pleasure to experience some very horrible and hateful people meeting their

Karma. So yes, I believe that Karma will show up at F47's door and every Rs door.

[bluestarone]

50. Really looking forward to the day YOU get the answer we all await.

That is YES,YES,YES.

[MontanaMama]

54. I love this thread. Because

it makes me smile and one of these days…HE WILL BE DEAD.

This gives me some hope

60. I'd love to see his nose fall off during a press conference

And as great as that would be in and of itself, I'd love to see how his propagandists and kkkultists try to explain it away.

[SheltieLover]

88. I wonder what those sores are indicative of?

[niyad]

99. Is tthat a recent image? I remember seeing those spots several years

ago, along with the assumption/hope, that his demise was imminent.

87. Well, that's a bummer. I checked with the Intergalactic Peacekeeping Council,

after I finally tracked them down at that dive on Andromeda 5 (don't ask!!! ) and they informed me that any attempt to launch him into the galaxy would be regarded as an act of war (They have VERY strict rules about littering!!!). Botched penis implant guy they figure will blow himself up in his own rocket here, so they are not worried about him.

[SheltieLover]

96. It is an intriguing thought but then we would have a President Vance, and frankly, as bad as tsf is, Vance

Last edited Sun Mar 2, 2025, 04:45 PM - Edit history (1)

may be even worse. Comparatively speaking, Vance will seem more reasonable than tsf, and therefore, more palatable. But Vance, for all his awfulness, is more strategic and less impulsive. Where tsf is a wreaking ball, Vance will damage things in a more gradual, thoughtful and effective way. So, maybe having a wreaking ball would be preferable to a knife in your back. At least we have a better chance of seeing in which direction the harm is coming from.

And despite being told to give up this waste of time, today's OP is the most rec'ed deathwatch to date!

Thank you all for your community and your good humor through these ridiculous times!

[Marthe48]

112. I wish I would have thought of starting a post like this

I look for a certain Latest Breaking News headline every day, and so far it hasn't happened. The Orrex post cheers me up.

Onward: a legion of his victims overran the golf course, and took turns running the blob over with his own golf cart? SS aided and abetted.

He got trapped in his own Dorian Gray novel and it had a happy ending for us?

[gordianot]

113. If there is anything that remains of me after I am gone it is Earthly disdain of what Trump represents.

His demose will happen. May his life serve as a lesson and warning of human calamity.
