Death of Stalin is a great movie
This is like a still from the most vicious production of Julius Caesar ever staged.
I kinda feel sorry for DeSantis
Any talk of trump "passing the torch" to one of his kids? That's what a King would do.
they’ve barely been around this time. Ivanka especially. I think Trump’s more Logan Roy toward them than…idk, any tyrant more invested in legacy or accepting of his own mortality
Barron, maybe?
Don, Jr.?? Melania?! 😂
He wouldn't let Don Jr. hold his dick while he was taking a piss. He hates him.
Not old enough
(and not his kid)
(On paper he is.)
Well, we all know Trump is a real stickler for the law.
You know, I hope Vance does end up being the new face of MAGA, because he's so deeply unlikable. Yes, he's an atrocious person & the MAGA elite are absolutely his people, but it's hard to imagine him attracting the same kind of cult following that put his boss in office. His personality is so bad.
The smart money is on the coalition collapsing under JD Vance. I can't wait!
The Supreme Court will still be backing up the 48th President, whoever it is.
So will the Christian Nationalists such as the Heritage Foundation
they’re a problem in their own right & i dunno what we do there either, but when you have multiple problems, at least one removed from the equation tends to help.
The court is easy to deal with. They have lifetime appointments unless they resign or die. So you give them that exact option. Arrest every one of them for treason or corruption. Throw them in jail with no bail as they are flight risks. See how long it takes until they crack.
Thank you for your optimism.
Sorry; it's been a hard day.
The supreme court will back their billionaire patrons and the federalist society.
The court will, but I don't think Congress will, mainly because voters won't stand for it any longer and they'll decide it's time to take their power back.
Of course, I'd hate to be wrong. I've been shocked all along how they've given their power over to Trump
Completely agree
He is basically Stephen Miller with even LESS rizz, which I know sounds impossible, but there it is.
Say hello to President Thiel.

Okay so pretty much everybody wants [redacted]
Who can Trump trust , with VP ready to backstab him ?
And behind Vance, Peter Thiel is seizing the real power.
Is this true? Maybe. Do I want to see more headlines like this? Fuck yes.
Mood.
This was the Koch-pence plan except trump’s corruption was the exit plan. They couldn’t have counted on the GOP’s complete capitulation to trump, but Father Time doesn’t play politics.
This is sourced to Rick Wilson, not exactly an insider
he’s manifesting. he may be one of the few who’s evil enough to pull it off.
TY!!!
For all his faux, smooth-talking bravado, I think Vance will go down in flames once the spotlight is on him in a real campaign. It's a toss-up who is more unlikable - Vance or Miller.
Miller. Vance at one point passed as human. Long over & prob never the real him, but he was…plausible. Miller’s always been a stone freak. I still think he’s a dybbuk.
I would have to agree
I’d be highly skeptical of this reporting. The source of this article is Rick Wilson, a known never Trump grifter who constantly said Trump was about to be thrown in jail and shit like that during his first term.
That's helpful; thanks.
Wilson is likely trying to pit the elements of MAGA against each other, but there probably are tensions there and i support all efforts to make these guys miserable and suspicious of each other so 🫡
yeh attempted ratfucking. his old skills. even before seeing the author i was immediately dubious of an article this blatant tbh. I do think there’s…something up.
idk what but i feel more ok anticipating this. Unlike any earthly justice, this isn’t an “if.” Just “when.” And as desperate as we all are, rightly… good things sometimes come to those who wait. Too. One way or another. tick. tick. tick.
Oh yes, more like this to make Dotard paranoid 🤣🤣
Like it or not, if dumb ass dies, Vance is president.
Not with pillows, but with couch cushions.
Vance is NOT an improvement. Trump consolidated the power for him. Vance might actually know how to use it.
Let JDV touch him …
Will be interesting how Thiel and Murdoch will keep their low IQ JDV puppet under control for their agenda and not ending in the same ditch as with Felon47 who will be out of the equation very soon. One thing for sure: Messiah effect = poof 💨
I appreciate the attempt to get JD bumped off lol
They’re soft launching Trump’s death
Mission Day 222 bsky.app/profile/phot...
ah yes rick wilson with all of his inside contacts at the white house. this is probably bullshit ... but good trolling if nothing else
JD’s doing the Vance Dance Revolution. What a shame.
JD is moving in to move him out
Ain’t nobody putting up with JD Vance as POTUS. He has no constituency, following or cult leader charisma. His own party’ll take him out in a minute in favor of the weasel speaker. Another reason to take back the House.
Seriously!
no one’s following Johnson either. whey faced simpering goon.
The hitch in that is, in that scenario, President Vance gets to nominate his VP and put them up for an immediate Senate confirmation vote. The Speaker only ascends if both the Pres and VP go down before a new VP is sworn in.
Good point. My mistake.
Death would be too good for him. He needs to stroke out Hector Salamanca style.
DING DING DING DING DING !
Get photos of Trump’s feet
This is just Rick Wilson pontificating?
Sorry, JD... power in this country is only derived from the consent of the governed.
I just watched this again, on HULU I think. It's appropriately making the rounds anyway.
The base has always been held by Trump's psychotic charisma. Once he's gone, they will be left with nothing but a boring, tight ass Vance, sky-high prices,and no medical insurance.
True but they are planning on rigging or stealing the next election and none of this will matter. The only positive sign I see is that they are gerrymandering Texas which shows they believe they could lose the mid terms.
The problem will be if they gain military control. And that will rest in the individual mindsets of the service men and women.
That's the plan
And touch the face of Satan!
He’s waiting with his warm embrace
"Ay, Donald*, now hast thou no hope of heaven Therefore despair! Think only upon hell, For that must be thy mansion, there to dwell." * Faustus
🔥👹🔥
At least that ear is looking good...
there is no light where he is going
fire has light in it
Fire is bright
I hate JD Vance, but I LOVE all of these rumors about Trump's ill health and that he's going to die soon. That can't help but fill me with joy. Imagine them finding Trump facedown in a pool of his own diarrhea ... cold ... not breathing. SAD! MAGAGAGAGAAAAAAA!!!!
Now we can see how well that "America's Hitler" crack ages. Doubtful that he's try to course correct the garbage fire he helped to light.
He's really going to crack down on all of the couch fucking cracks before he loses control after the next mid term election.
The Death of Stalin reboot is going to be wild. Does JD get removed from history?
Trump would order someone to shoot Vance, rather than give up power.
Oh Mr Trump...better see if JD has committed any mortgage fraud
This was always the plan with The Heritage Foundation. They will have Trump out in the next 12 months, and Vance will become the president. #project2024 #trump #patsy #USA #rumors #health
You technically want Trump out at 2 years + 1 day. Otherwise Vance can only run for one more term.
They have zero intention of following term limits rules, whether it's Trump running again if he lives, or JD running indefinitely until they decide to appoint a new leader.
I don't think Vance could win an election on his own. He lacks a cult following. If Trump's demise came today, the 2028 GOP field would have a dozen contenders by Labor Day.
Did not know that!
Trump has a way of. . . upsetting other people's plans.
Also the fact that the cult of personality is not going to coalesce around the guy that fucks couches and breaks football trophies.
People aren't going to accept fake plastic dog poop in lieu of a golden calf.
President Cankles gonna be pretty mad when he sees this article
What 'moves' is he making? If Trump dies, he's the vice-president. That's what the vice-president IS
If Trump does, he is President not VP—pretty big difference!
Yeah, but what I mean is, what political maneuvering does he even need to do? If he takes a big nap until Trump dies, he still becomes president. This isn't some Game of Thrones politicking to become the rightful heir, it's right there.
Absolutely, but like someone else said, he has no following. Party implodes hopefully. I heard JD say he’d had 200 days of the best on the job training. That is fascinating, since he has literally been on 8 vacations starting 3 days after inauguration! I see what he thinks the job the job is.🤯
he may be growing impatient, is the vibe i believe
inching into the press spotlight, speaking on behalf of Trump when it’s not actually clear Trump is behind it.
You talk as if this is a normal situation. We are in the middle of a coup. There are wealthy white nationalists/evangelicals/whatever in the shadows who think *they* are the power. There is the sweaty dingbat cult. Without their backing, Vance is toast.
“I call dibs on the Oval Office when he croaks! Come on guys, it says so in the constitution!”
Even if this reporting is BS it's a good idea. Let's just act like he's at death's door all the time to sow discontent and delegitimize him
The next time we see Trump…
The GOP is getting ready to show Donald the door. It was always their plan for him not to finish out his term. JD steps in, Donald gets pardoned for everything and anything, (and takes a few billion with him), - Bob's your uncle.
It's time we all rewatch "Death of Stalin" since it's (hopefully soon) going to play out again, for real this time, in our own country. Deputy Chairman Malenkov will be accurately played by JD "When I said no problem, I meant: No! Problem!" Vance. Steven Miller will do his Beria best.
That movie got me through writing my dissertation
I wish we had one...someone so stable in their status they could walk in and punch Miller/Beria in the mouth and shut him down. Mark Milley was as close as we got in Trump I.
It really is a great watch. I figured it was going to be a real downer. I perked up when I saw Michael Palin and Steve Buscemi. Then when this happened, I was all in...
Trump may be old, but he would still tear that goober's throat out with his teeth rather than let him seize power. I just hope they get it on camera.
Pondering whether trump’s alleged health is another distraction from the EPSTEIN FILES and failure re Ukraine. Either that or whether he too is injecting youth blood?
He’d use it if he could, but that bill is coming due next week and short of dying, no distractions and even then…
I would love to know what Trump's medical situation really is. My guess is that is doctor's have said his heart is not up to dealing with his condition, his diet and his lifestyle.
his medical situation is "79 year old body finally decaying after a lifetime of diet cokes and hamberders and uppers"
That is an RFK Jr level analysis, that seems to be perfectly accurate 🤣
trump’s ego will never permit him to relinquish power. Even though he is probably dying. With that slimy, reptilian-brain knack he has, he’ll keep terrifying us and everyone around him. The malicious sadism is the last faculty he will lose. They will roll him out of there as a vegetable.
📌
I wonder if somebody in Vance-Thiel world is secretly poisoning the president. I don't think that, but the President's supporters might be disturbed by the possibility.
Not really looking forward to the American version of the wars of the diadochi.
why did you piss on all the clowns?
No AI without UBI no exceptions
✅ yellow “piss” filter ✅ inconsistent number of fingers ✅ “WASHINGION” ✅ TRUMP”S ✅ inconsistent time stamps ✅ not even cropped correctly a true exemplar of the “lazy ai slop” genre
i'm sure a lot of you remember dan quayle , i think of vance as a chameleon fascist he has no person it makes it up as he goes,right now he's nazi quayle, probably really dangerous, but an idiot easily manipulated
Vance is the Heritage Foundation’s “man” to implement Project 2025. He will need to be impeached (or otherwise removed) immediately, along with Vought and the rest of the kakistocratic clown show.
yeah we still won’t have the power to do any such thing.
We won’t wait to be given the power.
oh, all right then.
I have always suspected that was the plan.
Has Vance smothered him with a cushion yet?
I know this won't get you any clicks, but... he'd become President basically instantly anyways. Whatever.
If it DOES happen, predicting that: - None of the Trump teflon extends to JD, who has all of the dickishness but none of the charisma and gives off a "bully's toady friend" vibe. - Even if it's an obvious medical thing, MAGA will still completely blame him and go straight-up QAnon on him.
Vance isn’t going to be able to beat the “deep state plant that killed Trump” rumors/conspiracies. Especially when he’s currently acting like a scheming court eunuch out in the open.
i’m sure there’ll be plenty of impetus to try to steer the paranoia to any handy Dems or other useful targets, but if Vance -wants- to draw Trump’s ire or at least suspicion before he kicks it, well…keep it up? love it for him
He is so unlikable he can’t possibly sell their incompetence and graft
Shit, they'll still be channeling him through an AI-connected ouija board.
I think it's more likely he's having a scheduled medical procedure. He could be having a cardiac cath or an Afib ablation. Recovery time for both can be fairly quick, depending on how it goes.
Even if this is just rumor and innuendo, it's going to enrage Trump and cause division within his circle. Let's have at it.
Some of Vance's strengths are his authoritarian demeanor & viciousness. That'll play well with most of MAGA. Though they'll miss Trumps "sense of humor" His other strengths are his forethought & his emotional intelligence of the MAGA mob That all makes him even more dangerous long term than Trump
And he’s beholden to Peter Thiel.
I expect this to get more and more vicious, and for these people to rip each other apart, and I am absolutely here for it. This post literally made me think "I have to go make popcorn," and I literally am going now to make it.
"trump has four months to live" say increasingly nervous author for the 227th time this decade
Vultures circling
I was excited by the headline. Then I saw it’s all based on speculative “reporting” from Rick Wilson. So, now I’m not excited. Fuckin hell.
If something happens to Trump Republicans will suddenly find a backbone and it will get ugly.
Not ugly enough for you already?
I doubt it. Vance will slip right in and continue Project 2024 on behalf of The Heritage Foundation.
Vance can’t cow congressional Republicans by threatening to sic the mob on them and support a primary challenge.
JD doesn't have the juice
One step at a time. Let us savor the news of the present.
Why would he have to "seize power" when he will just be the successor?
The second paragraph of the LINKED article explains the context.
Yeah, I read the stupid article. If anyone thinks there will be a MAGA movement without Trump they didn't pay attention to what happened to DeSantis.
Ngl, if it happens while he's in office, I'm opening accounts on every social media platform to troll MAGA with a simple "Yeah, but cui bono? 🤔"
Replacing a Sandpaper dildo for a flaccid one
not to rain on everyone's parade, but the source for this article is Rick Wilson so...
This article is just based on pure speculation from grifter Rick Wilson... Do better.
Or just his version of what Gavin Newsom is doing. I'm on board with both.
Trump's rapid decline is not only sparking a scramble to consolidate power, it also means that Trump is probably not calling all the shots now. Sure, he's still a blustering idiot making lots of noise. But it's the likes of Stephen Miller who are really in charge. And that should scare everyone.
Stephen Miller is the shot caller now.
one anyway, probably one of not actually all that many at the top.
it’s been clear for a while he doesn’t call most of them. They do still indulge him on the tariffs though; that’s all him. Also the personal vendettas & shitty decor.
His own children will sell sponsor sticker space on his gold-spray-painted coffin.
This is kinda bad, right? Like isn't his VP even worse than he is and if he takes over, he'll do what Trumps been doing but worse??
But JD has the likeability of a cold, damp dish rag. Whenever "charisma" Trump has, Vance doesn't. None of them do. Everyone in the greater MAGAverse will be grabbing for the crown and the base will choose their own successor and that will end in, hopefully, the coalition of morons fracturing.
