Is he dead yet?

Squashed by violently shifting US/Canada borders?

Mauled by soon-to-be-expelled 240,000 Ukrainian expats?

Killed by a horde of dystopian sci-fi authors for making their bleak fictional worlds seem cheerful by comparison?

So there’s always a chance that his cart ends up on top of him in a bunker.
Imagine the headlines - both Hitler and Slobfather Donvict died in bunkers. That would be …drumroll…bonkers😀

Massive heart attack, puzzling scientists due to absence of heart during necropsy?

(Note: for International Women's Day, russia is said to have given.mothers of dead soldiers flowers & meat grinders as a cruel joke. No source, it was posted on DU yesterday morning.)

Hope sprimgs eternal!

Sat Mar 8, 2025, 09:21 AM
Mar 2025

I ascribe to Deus Ex Machina, Latin for “god from the machine.” It refers to the crane or pulley system that brought actors playing gods over the stage in Greek and Roman plays. They were dropped in often towards the end to determine the ending and bring resolution.
and
The Hand of God, or Manus Dei in Latin.

Something very unexpected, unpredictable, and dramatic will happen.

I believe in it b/c I experienced it. My father was perpetually vindictive. My persecution ended when he died. But how he died . . . . He was 93 and shouldn't have been driving. He rear-ended a van at the gas pumps. He had no seat belt and his chest hit the steering column. He refused medical help and didn't follow up with his doctors. And he didn't tell me or my siblings about the accident. And for a week, he had an undiagnosed partial tear of his aorta, meaning that he had a slow bleed into his chest. And he suffered a heart attack. The police/EMS didn't get to him in time. While I didn't wish for his death (exactly), but his demise was akin to my above-referenced concepts.

If Vice President Harris can be referred to by her first name alone, I think the proper pronoun for That Thing is not “he” but IT (as in the Stephen King novel).

The driver, shocked at what he saw because usually it's the other way around, jerked the wheel and sent the car plunging into the Anacostia River.

The driver and SS agent managed to get out, but they were the only survivors.

1. Musk fired most of the Air Traffic Control workers.
2. Who knows how experienced and skilled the replacements are.
3. Without fail, Trump leaves DC every Friday to go to Mar-A-Lago and returns Sunday.
4. He flies.
5. Shit happens.

Effective, but hard to cover up as an accident.

Now a supersonic golf ball, while he is out on the green, would be just as effective, and be more likely to be accepted as a tragic accident.

Now, excuse me. Back to work.
I'm working on a miniature drone capable of supersonic guided flight, and it just happens to look remarkably like a golf ball.
Pure coincidence, I assure you!
