Champagne on ice. 🥳 And if he could just hurry along a little faster, that'd be great..

And nothing on his official WH schedule at all for the next several days

No golf, nada. He is probably being treated for something at Walter Reed, and they don't want to share any info.

This is weird shit to wake up to after being offline for 24 hours

If this is a prank, I want the instigator hunted down.

Don't give me hope!!!

Even if it turns out not to be true, I am at least relieved that I do still have the capacity to hope.

Maybe it's like the beginning of a disaster movie where scientists are monitoring things and one says "huh, that's weird. Hey Bernie, are you seeing this?"

I will watch any movie with that moment.

You mean the ones where the guy in a white lab coat taps the gauge and it goes into the danger zone? And then he says, “We’ve got a problem here.” Right before something really bad happens? That one? Yeah, didn’t watch it.🫣

Sharpening my pitchfork. 😑

What’s happening?!

Idk Lynn, but a lot of coded language about Trump not being seen on TV in 3 days, which he wouldn't do willingly.

I was putting the lack of 🍊🤡 down to being on holiday and not bothering with the news. Are you telling me I could have watched it without having to yell at the telly?!

There’s always something to yell about. But it’s definitely been quieter.

(for context the yelling is often "shut the 🤬 up" or yelling at the journalists to call him out on his lies) but yes there is plenty to yell about. I think the lack of news/yelling is probably why I've been sleeping so well this week.

When I do a week of digital detox, I sleep much better. Go figure.

Dare we hope? I mean, it would mean Vance, but surely he can’t be worse.

I'm no political expert, but my take is that Vance (nor anyone else) could not carry the cult of personality that Trump has. You may see GOP people actually push back without fear of repercussion.

That’s my impression too. Am going to be glued to my phone today.

Due to the time difference, you can get some stuff done in the morning and afternoon. The last natural death by a president was FDR, so most of us have no idea what the procedure would be. There would be a careful and calculated announcement.

Oh, good point. They won’t announce anything overnight.

Yes I’ve been reading loads of speculation on Threads too. I’m hoping…
