Is he dead yet now?

Everyone knows who "he" is.

I am crying right now thinking about the unfairness of the world, the swift pasage of time in our lives and the status of the human race. This community is mourning the loss of one of its truly impactful contributors with the passing of longtime member SalmonEnchantedEvening (SCE, Bob). He was a beacon of sanity and levity in a world of sewage and despair. He sought only to bring a smile to the faces of the unseen, unheard many. He acted in kindness and in a sense of love and to foster community. SCE was everything I would want my children and grandchildren to emulate and replicate. I am saddened to my core because of the loss of a man who never once had the national press corp fainting over him or crowds chanting cult phrases, never sold vodka or steaks or crypto currency scams. The balance of universal karma is in desperate need of a shift again.

On the other hand, "HE" is nothing. Less than nothing, he is squandered opportunity and hatred in a poorly fitting suit and bad make-up. I have lost dozens of friends, uncounted numbers of aquaintances and a sister over the adoration and cult-like devotion to HIM.

And as I wipe my eyes and blow my nose now because of a sense of loss and sadness for the silencing of one voice ion the wilderness, there is a day in the near future (not near enough unless HE is dying as I type this) when there will be another silencing for all-time. Another loss by some definitions, but an addition by subtraction in my math. And on that day, I will celebrate wildly. I will imbibe excessively and I WILL dance in the streets and begin preparing to find a way to piss on HIS grave one day after that.

Did he die yet? Did his fucking heart explode and attempt to flee by bursting out of his chest? Did his bloo seep out of every pore in an effort to emigrate? Did he just fall down the stairs or choke on a shoe-leather tough piece of meat?

No?

Soon. (But never soon enough...)

I forced myself to watch that awful speech. He looked ready to keel over and I wanted to witness that. Not kind of me, but he's turned me into an unkind person as regards to him.

I want to see him stroke out on live TV. He'll get the highest ratings of his career. I don't want him to die though, I want him to suffer in agonizing pain for years and years. Dying is too easy for that monster.

to be played when he isn't "up to it" anymore instead of his actual appearances. I'm thinking of his obsession with a101% need for constant attention, whether or not he is actually speaking "live". Since he is a media/TV whore I wouldn't put this past him. He'll add a 47th coat of orange spackle to his fat, fucking face and bruised hands when he is in fact propped up in a bed, on a ventilator, with a puppet master making his mouth move and Steven Miller's voice come out. Sort of a ventriloquist act.
