I knew he wasn't dead because:

[PCIntern]

they hadn’t started playing funereal dirges on the radio or FOX.

For you younger folk, the first indication that a Premier of the USSR had died was that soulful, funeral music would be continuously broadcast on State Radio. This was true for Kruschev, Kosygin, and Andropov and I think Chernenko.

[bucolic_frolic]

1. Yeah, they did better for those guys

than they did for Trotsky.

[SWBTATTReg]

2. I think that they would keep tRUMP's death quiet, until they gathered up all of the remaining Executive Orders,

and get them issued secretly first, and then announce tRUMP's death.

[underpants]

13. Several Repubs have introduced legislation codifying EO's

Basically Royal decrees.

Rep. Tim Burchett to introduce bills codifying President Trump's executive orders

15. Since they are in favor of him having the legislature's power, they should be honest & give back their federal pay

Gotta figure they are either wanna-bee cheerleaders trying to re-capture the high school dreams that didn't come true, or they are guilt of horrible things and being blackmailed. Either way, why should be be paying them if they don't do their jobs?

[Prairie Gates]

3. Neither Kruschev nor Kosygin died while in office

[PCIntern]

5. Music was played.

[berniesandersmittens]

4. No, but faux showed a pic of Bill Clinton carrying a defibrillator

Dear god, mother earth, Odin, and Zeus please don't let any of our Dem presidents pass away during this administration.

[kimbutgar]

6. Whenever I hear fireworks now I hope they are celebrating the orange pedo felons death

And I immediately look at the news but end up sadly disappointed!

[electric_blue68]

25. I live in NYC, unless I happen to be on-line via my phone which actually would probably drop a news alert...

or on here... I expect cheering, cars honks etc to suddenly erupt! 😄

Depending, I'm in an ALP a lot of my neighbors will be celebrating, and I might hear some people knocking on other's doors to spread the good news!😄
We may have a few trumpers, but i don't know. I carefully decide when to talk politics, and whom. 👍

[jmbar2]

7. Me too. Didn't hear any cars honking excitedly or fireworks.

[Blue Owl]

8. Weekend at Dumpy's?

[Kid Berwyn]

9. Ding Dong the Dip is Don

Something like that, crawling with Munchkins.

[oregonjen]

10. Blurry pics of him dressed in golf duds doesn't convince me

Only when he’s in front of a mic speaking will I believe that he’s “okay”. The fact that he wasn’t waiving or speaking to a crowd has me suspicious. Hey, I’ll stay in the conspiracy theory world for a while longer.

[Tree Lady]

11. I saw video of him walking towards crowd

And shaking hands.

I think they do this shit just to change the conversation about Trump instead of other things.

[LeftInTX]

24. Yeah, he sure caused a shit storm early last week.

Maybe by hiding, people "forget" about Monday's executive orders.

He signed two new ones on Thursday. I guess nobody checked?

on an endless loop---then we'll know....

Plus Merch getting Blown-Out..........

[Blues Heron]

14. Shit, did they revive him?

[LeftInTX]

16. I knew he wasn't dead because I knew we weren't lucky.

Why would they even keep it a secret?

The VP takes over. This isn't like other countries where a special election is held.

The VP automatically serves the remainder of the term. It's that simple. In many other places, elections are held usually within 90 days. The President of Iran died on May 19th and 30 days later, they held a new election. It may make sense in countries like that to delay news to favor a specific party.

Brezhnev's successor was elected two days after he died.

Plus no one would be able to keep it a secret! Even in the Soviet Union people knew.

[Kingofalldems]

17. Wasn't Johnny Cash the first American to know Stalin was dead?

[iemanja]

18. Has he showed himself?

[blogslug]

19. Sadly, yes

21. Golfing, of course

Thanks.

[MLAA]

20. Fox will probably play cat scratch fever on the happy day.

[Xolodno]

22. Probably undergoing treatment for something.

And was a bit too weak. When he got Covid he tried to play up the tough guy image, but think I read after he got back in the Whitehouse he nearly collapsed.

Could have had quietly a stent put in or ablation for irregular heart beat. You can usually go home the same day and be fully recovered in a few days.

[LeftInTX]

23. He's golfing today. I think if he had a stent put in, he would not be golfing. My husband had one put in last year.

https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/president-donald-trump-walks-through-the-parking-lot-with-news-photo/2232246232

He probably took a break for a few days after signing a zillion executive orders and destroying America earlier in the week.
If he had a procedure done, it would have been milder than a stent.

[C_U_L8R]

26. They say he's golfing

They also said Bush 1st was at Camp David when he was off fishing in Florida.

[LeftInTX]

27. Why would they lie? There are numerous pictures from today?

And he's still alive. He's still breathing and destroying the nation. That's all that matters.

[SSJVegeta]

28. Photo is from the AFP video but Forbes implies it is from today

no press pool and nothing to verify it is actually today. It is also saying he is leaving the white house but that doesnt look like the white house. It looks like his golf course in Turnberry -where he was in July.

The rumors won't go away until the next mandatory cabinet brown nosing.

29. So does Newsweek. Plus he signed two executive orders on Thursday.

Damn...all that just to go golfing


I did not know the White House was in Scotland!

[SSJVegeta]

32. Yup thats done it for me. Trump is alive

[Captain Zero]

31. In that top pic he appears to be holding

A suit coat on a hanger in front of his beltline.
Why would a king be carrying his own suit coat on a hanger?

squeeze up the pic and have a look for yourself.

[LeftInTX]

33. This is getting ridiculous. What are you gonna do when lard ass gets back on tee-vee and starts shouting at the world?

"It's a body double!!"

What are you gonna do when issues more horrific executive orders?
"They're fake"

Geez...........
This is too much...

He also issued two executive orders on Thursday.

34. The operation was successful.

[liberalla]

35. Swan Lake?

Russian state television would famously broadcast Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake on a loop, after a leaders death.
