Is he dead yet?

Just sort of disappeared for a few days and, you know?

Coronary upon receiving a $60 bill from Home Depot for tacky knickknacks?

Fell out of a plane en route to Sterling, VA?


Just fucking died already for literally any reason whatsoever?

How many of them will be mourning? How many will be secretly (or not so secretly) be celebrating? I doubt anyone will mourn his passing when it happens, except maybe his girlfriend Laura Looneytunes & Human Buttplug Miller.

That is anyone who would NOT kiss his ass saw him, was last Tuesday. Where he wanted to jail Americans for burning a flag....a 1980s issue.

If he's Not dead, or in a coma from a heart attack, he's living in the 1980s. We will need a time machine to bring him back to reality.

Sitting on a park bench
Eyeing little girls with bad intent
Snot running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes
Hey, Aqualung

Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run
Hey, Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck
Whoa, Aqualung

There is probably going to be days or even multiple days where he barely gets out of bed. And his ability to walk is in decline. Maybe he's feeling bad and needs a walker. Not a great look for a narcissist.

62. Central Cyanosis from some kind of heart or circulatory disease???
Sat Aug 30, 2025, 11:17 AM
Aug 30

“Cyanosis is the medical term for when your skin, lips or nails turn blue due to a lack of oxygen in your blood. If you have darker skin, cyanosis may be easier to see in your lips, gums, nails and around your eyes. The word cyanosis comes from the word cyan. Cyan is a blue-green color.”

Add in his puffy ankles and what my be a pulmonary edema on his hands that they are trying to
hide with make up and his dirt nap might not to far in the future.

Besides when he was in the Middle East his go to meal from the mobile McDonald’s that they
had following him was 2 Big Macs, 2 Filet of Fish Sandwiches (fried), and a chocolate milkshake
and he is 79 and he doesn’t like to exercise.

Years ago a young mother worked for me. She said that head lice was going around he son's school but it wasn't
a big deal, there was shampoo that would kill them. I said to her that children get lice on their heads but adults could
get them other places. She had a blank stare at first and then the light bulb moment and she blushes and says "ohhhh".

Scalia croaked on my birthday and I was in Vegas with my family. My daughter suggested I tone down my celebration of his passing. Turned out she was right, his passing began the court we currently have.
Guess what, I'll be in Vegas next weekend, fingers are crossed. If it happens my daughter won't be there to ruin my loud raucous celebration.
You would think with such a huge unearned ego he would take into consideration just how many people are waiting anxiously for that day when he doesn't answer his wake up call.

Absent the news of his death, I’ll continue to dream of it.

Also, his propaganda ministry wouldn’t hesitate to fly his corpse on AF1 for weeks to create the illusion of vitality.

Schrödinger's douchebag. My guess is that he's technically alive but he's had some sort of "episode" of losing his marbles to the point where he can't be allowed to speak in public at all. So his handlers are waiting to decide whether he will be able to recover at least enough of them to keep pretending to be the president, or whether to do the 25th Amendment Tango.
