    Every time I see any kind of official federal government announcement, I imagine it’s being delivered by this lady:

    His detractors don’t get it. The doctors just called him back for his second once a year exam to admire him. Trump is in unbelievably good health.


    It’s Trump’s business acumen showing again. He gets his yearly checkups each calendar and each fiscal year.


    Saying this is a check up is a cover story. The doctors obviously called him in to consult on a particularly tough case.


    Yes, these are jokes. I hope president pudding brain remains cognizant enough to see all he built crumble, see his reputation ruined, his criminal enterprise dismantled, see his children jailed, to realize that he’s going to die before his political and criminal enemies, and that it all unfolds exceedingly quickly. Not all hopes are rational or possible, but I’ll accept any part of the above.

    Walter Reed doctors asked the president to come in so they and their colleagues could try to understand how he’s in such amazing shape. He’s the most healthy specimen that they’ve seen and many people are saying so. He’s agreed to go because he wants to give the people the benefit of his rigor and strength. In a statement trump said, “They want to know how I do it. Who can blame them. I hear it all the time. ‘Sir, how do you manage to thrive like this? Sir, can we have some of it? And I say, ‘sure I guess’. Who am I to keep it all here? I mean I could, it’s my right as president. Some say I, you know many people are saying- I guess they call it ‘lonn gev itee’. I call it dongevity. Dongevity, can you believe it? Anyway, it’s what the people want.”

    What’s the spread? Fall of American democracy or death of Trump, which comes first? Seems neck and neck at the moment. I assume Draft kings has that bet set somewhere.

      I mean, if you’re going to bet on one, you’re going to bet on his death. Not because it’s necessarily more likely, but because the value of the dollar is going to tank on the fall of democracy and might even go up a bit after his death.

          My determination is if we are aloud to vote for a president in 2028, we at least have the appearance of a democracy. That would be the nail in the coffin.

            aloud to vote

            Well, we don’t shout anymore.

            We don’t push, either, as it’s a quick thing and it’s a little impolite. But our case - Canada - is different as we’re still walking to some gym or hall, standing in the 10-min queue, marking paper ballots with pencil, and getting it all done in a day.

          I mean, not like it used to be or should be. But elections aren’t actually cancelled yet. Though they becoming increasingly predetermined with the flood gates being opened for blatant partisan gerrymandering and soon, likely, the neutering of the Voting Rights Act, so… not exactly long for this world.
