For what he's doing to the country, he's more deserving of the Osama treatment and should be dumped off the side of a boat in the middle of some ocean so his grave can't become nazi mecca.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

It's not even a fair comparison. Trump is 1000 times the threat to American freedom and democracy Bin Laden ever was.
The response to Bin Laden, the PATRIOT Act, was also more dangerous to democracy than he was.
Bush was a bigger threat to democracy than Bin Laden. People forget this unitary executive theory Trump is abusing so extremely was first brought to prominence by Bush. Bush also brought the PATRIOT act to open a lot of authoritarian doors. The Trumpster fire would not be possible without the Bush Jr.
Bush also brought the PATRIOT act to open a lot of authoritarian doors.
What sort of history revisionism are you peddling here? The Patriot act was bipartisan. We have records of the votes. like 75% of dems approved it. And 98-1-1 in the senate... https://www.justice.gov/archive/ll/subs/detailed_vote_2001.htm
Hell if we're making this partisan, the republicans have a better claim that they're trying to end it...
In November 2019, the House approved a three-month extension of the Patriot Act which would have expired on December 15, 2019. It was included as part of a bigger stop-gap spending bill aimed at preventing government shutdown which was approved by a vote of 231–192. The vote was mostly along party lines with Democrats voting in favor and Republicans voting against. Republican opposition was largely due to the bill's failure to include $5 billion for border security.[253]
I'm in favour of the Mussolini treatment, myself.
I believe there's a lot more than a pee tape
At the absolute minimum, we can guarantee by what he does in public, that there is certainly pedophile tapes. And I can't even begin to speculate what else, cuz I don't want to. I very much prefer pretending nothing even worse than that can exist.
Snuff. There's gonna be snuff, my dude.
No. If there was a pee tape, Trump himself would sell it and his voters would buy it too. This is a man who sold his own mug shot.
If Russia has something on him, it is dear old fucktons of money. Or we have to prepare to the scarier scenario where he's not being blackmailed into doing Putin's bidding, he really wants to be Putin.
Various Intelligence agencies believe it most likely exists, his behaviour confirms it
It’s right up there with ~~Tony Blair~~ David Cameron fucking a pig.
There no proof, but… it seems possible.
Wow I totally forgot about that.
Probably because it was Cameron rather than Blair. Not that Blair was all that fundamentally different as a person, but that particular story is about Cameron
I stand corrected. (Allegedly.)
I’ve never heard of being so into your kink you find a way to indulge postmortem. Clever girl.
Then ill shit on his grave instead.
Wouldn't matter anymore
If I ever form a politically-themed comedy band, we'll be called John Barron and the P-Tape All-Stars.
Don't forget to release the P-sides to every of your albums
