Pope Francis, after meeting JD Vance, died the day after Easter in 2025.

It would be infinitely funny if someone else, after meeting with JD Vance, would die the day after Easter 2026 too.

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

What would you say is the percentage of people on this planet waiting to see him finally die, something like 98%?

[–] 8oow3291d@feddit.dk 21 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

Russia thinks the Trump Presidency is amazing for them. First Trump cuts support for Ukraine, then Trump blames Ukraine for keeping the war going by dastardly not surrendering to Russia. And now Trump is raising global oil proces, radically increasing the income of the Russian state. All while delegitimizing the US.

China probably cheers on the weakening of US power too. And US Republicans also overwhelmingly supports Trump, for reasons known only to them.

So if you add up Russia and China (enemies of America) and Republicans (but I repeat myself), way less than 98% of people wants Trump dead.

Don't forget wasting all our missiles and munitions in Iran so we won't have a stockpile when we or one of our actual allies gets attacked.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca -3 points 2 hours ago

Yes. "All". Your "actual allies" get attacked. Good grief. Isn't it exhausting to see enemies behind every tree?

But again, don't stop, the entertainment value is unmatched.

[–] hamid@crazypeople.online -1 points 1 hour ago

It is so funny USAmericans need to blame Russia for your own shitty corrupt settler colonial society instead of just taking responsibility. It isn't Russia. If anything the government in Russia is the result of US actions, not the other way around. You literally over threw the Soviet Union with color revolutions than installed Yeltzin there then worked with Putin for a long time before deciding to shift the blame to him. You are the evil ones. You are the illegitimate ones. Death to the USA.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca -5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

My goodness conspiracy theorists are always so fun to watch.

Did Putin also cleverly wait for Biden to be president to invade?

The plot goes deeper than you think!

lol you guys are great!

"So if you add up Russia and China (enemies of America)"

I see, but you let your great industry leaders outsource all their manufacturing to China. Unless.... China controlled them all since the start even when China was a bunch of fishing villages!!

Oh boy you guys. Don't stop. You're better than a convoluted '80s soap opera!

english as a second language much?

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 31 points 9 hours ago

Bah. You'll know he's actually dead when it shows up on Polymarket.

[–] orenj@leminal.space 9 points 7 hours ago

Wild to see the united states lich project coming to fruition in our lifetime. Or their omegaverse project backfiring and the president (an omega) going into heat for the second time, forcing another coverup.

[–] atropa@piefed.social 21 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It is an exercise, for the big moment that everyone on planet earth is waiting for, the end of a dictator, criminal trump

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

If Trump dies, Vance takes over and he might be even worse. The point is to oppose the system that created Trump, not this particular figurehead, which can always be replaced.

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 hours ago (4 children)

Vance doesn't have a grip on this idiot minions like Trump does. I also think Russia gave Trump a bunch of dirt on GOP members which he has been more than willing to exploit. I can't honestly think of any other reason they bend over and take his bullshit.

Vance is an asshole, and probably a little evil, but he's also a huge wimp. People will steamroll right over him.

I think when Trump dies, MAGA will fade away.

I think when Trump dies, MAGA will fade away.

I wish I shared your optimism. It won't, but time will tell with certainty.

[–] DaGreenGobbo@feddit.uk 2 points 1 hour ago

Vance is Peter Thiel's boy. Who doesn't Thiel have dirt on?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, nobody is out there ready to cover their mobility scooters in Vance merch.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

MAGA, yes, but the disease that caused it all will still fester.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 hour ago

yup. the cult won't survive the loss of the cult leader. however, the cultists will still remain. 45/47 wasn't even the cult leader until about 3 years after the cult had started reshaping republican politics. the death of 47 will bring about a great reshuffling, not the permanent end of all human suffering. the things that need doing are for us to educate the children on how to recognize and resist fascism. fascism will remain a threat to all humanity so long as a single person carries its flame in their heart. so learn: authoritarianism is not about the authority (person) it's about the authoritarians (people). authoritarianism is only made possible by people voluntarily carrying out the actions demanded by dear leader. if you want to stop dear leader you have to gather a coalition of people who believe other things are possible.

Vance is a bitdh though. Unloved. That is our chance to take the country back. Oh right, you guys are letting establishment dems run the opposition. huh. enjoy hell dumbshits.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 26 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Another mini stroke? We'll see him from a distance for couple of days and then we will appear publicly with a slightly more drooping face.

And some new way to fuck up the world further.

There has never been a President who has worked harder for the American people than President Trump. On this Easter weekend, he has been working nonstop in the White House and Oval Office.

If you count warcrimes, white collar crimes and golf as work, then sure. But for the American people, not so much. Everything he does is for his criminal enterprise.

But pleeeeeaaaaase don't be dead Donny. JD is so much worse.

[–] bold_atlas@lemmy.world 25 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

JD Vance smothered him with a couch cushion.

[–] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 10 points 14 hours ago

I think his thing is to smother the cushions.

Well if so that's going to round off a very nice week for the astronauts.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 93 points 21 hours ago (7 children)

Maybe people around the world should celebrate his death, even though he’s alive, just so he can see how many people hate him.

[–] stickyprimer@lemmy.world 1 points 52 minutes ago

That can be the theme of the next No Kings protest. I bet we crack 10 million people for that.

Every day when I wake up, the first thing is to check my phone if that fucker's dead yet.

I check the front page of the newspaper for obituaries. The guy says they're in the back. I tell them not the one I'm looking for.

[–] mimavox@piefed.social 1 points 8 hours ago

Or if he has dropped a nuke yet.

Has he considered the ratings he'd get with a death announcement though? They'd be like no one has ever seen. Bigly.

I'm gonna be pissed if this son of a bitch happens to die when I can't have alcohol. Come on man, go into a coma for two weeks then die so I can pop a bottle properly

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 14 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You're probably ok because they're going to Weekend at Bernie's him for a while while he trying to figure out what they're going to do.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

My fear is that they've already been doing this for a while now, with a combination of impersonators and deepfakes -- and thus "Trump" will never die.

Time to watch him rant after having five gills of meth injected into his body. Again.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago

Oh that can't be good for him.

...

:) do it again.
