Agreed

Yeah, I mean, I didn’t watch it but I saw some quotes and each one sounds like something JD Vance would say while holding a pillow over the face of the elderly wealthy relative who raised him.

He never shuts up!

Are we really wishing for a Peter Thiel enabled and enabling JD Vance presidency. Be careful what you wish for folks.

We already have the Thiel-enabled Vance Vice Presidency. Why are they ramming Project 2025 through so fast? Because a President Vance will not hold the cult following. One step at a time.

There is a big difference between being a VP and president. I agree Vance cannot hold together MAGA, but he will try Ann’s do some terrible things trying.

Agree with you. But he is just different front man installed by Project 2025.

Having read Vance's boot many years ago he's mental cream puff and goes in whatever direction thinks will benefit him best. To have a chance of addressing the rampent racism and cruelty you hace to get rid of Stephen Miller. He drives this train of mentally weak, opportunity seeking misfits.

Vance’s opportunism may offer a glimmer of hope, but I don’t see how he would break with MAGA racism and keep the Trump coalition together, and he won’t have the credibility to build a new and different more tolerant coalition, but we can can hope he does and fails.

There are a lot of people out there who believe what you said to be true

Oh no, my fantasy is Designated survivor becomes reality TV.

Maga doesn’t know from peter theil. Anyone remember who came after Hitler? nope.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Stop it. Demons don't die. They regenerate.

🤞🏼

That and all the maudlin statements he’s been making.

Except that an obsequious Trump cabinet meeting is nothing new. www.npr.org/2017/06/13/5...

Yep! #TrumpIsDead!

These are not kind people. They would only kiss his ass if they expect him to be there. Unless they plan to remove him while still alive and they are mitigating the maga blowback on their personal welfare.

They aren't that smart. One day, they will be charged for the complicity in all the destruction and disregard for human life.

Obsequious? I prefer stipendiary.

We can only hope.

This is not Donald Trump

🤞

When cult leaders die, their members often quickly follow. Let's hope.

Last dinner.

"Last Supper"

They're always obsequious to Satan's mascot.

Best eulogies EVER

Hopes and wishes. However think just another round of ego stroking for the dear leader.

Eulogy rehearsal?

The weakest praise giver probably has to do CPR. No wonder they out did each other.

Given the number of conspicuous cross necklaces and laying of hands that are now customary at cabinet meetings, it's difficult to say if this was last rites or just last Tuesday.

Dr. Google says to be that swollen suggests major organ collapse.

No he had a bad week and required some fluffing. In his rumination’s he mentioned no one thanking him no one appreciates him it was pity party time on top of months of embarrassment and failures. We all want him gone but I don’t think that will happen We are creating a Conspiracy because they lie

Phasers on heavy stun!

As noted in other ways, this isn't Wizard of Oz, even if the witch dies. Trump is a front man, just as he was for The Apprentice, only needing to hit his marks and read lines before a camera. Vance, Miller, others are producer, director, writer, stand-in, etc. Nothing may change but the lead actor.

Yes. But. Do you really think Vance is capable of stepping in to take trump's place? Everyone, including Maga, hates him.

Miller and Vought (Project 2025 architect) control the freak show. Vance can be expected to dance to whatever tune they play if he succeeds Trump.

We all know that #DearLeader played a round of golf and ended up with 17 hole-in-one's and one par on the longest hole, today.

If only. But nah, that’s just status quo for those fools.

Just practicing

He waa playing golf today.

Monday morning:

After one passes it is often customary to say good things, to rehabilitate the dead guy’s reputation. Not a stinking chance!!!

🤔 maybe

They are always licking his boots! Nothing new there.

So he drops dead and JD takes his place. Will he continue the reign of terror? Can he be swayed or managed? Will everyone sigh a big sigh and slowly tone things down or turn it up even more?

Certainly managed because he's a technocrat at heart, even if an insane one.

Don't forget Bondi's comment about the 'pill' ...

Nah. People have such short memories. They had these weird Dear Leader cabinet meetings in his first term too. Pence used to particularly distinguish himself in adoring gazes and ass kissing. Trump just demands it.

They know he’s a thin skinned man-child who demands flattery. Because he demonstrates it every day.

With respect, sir, I don't think so. Courtiers grovel when they know they're going to have to continue to deal with a mad king. If they knew he was dying, they'd already be sucking up to the dictator in waiting.

It has been leaked by Scott Jennings that he has heart failure.

Scott Jennings would know of Trumps condition. From what I have seen this looks to be true.

Ugh I hate to agree with Jennings but the physical signs r obvious to me. (I’m an RN)

I have been hearing this lately.

Definitely cringe

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Or it was just another day in Trump’s cabinet of ass kissers.

I am old enough to remember Pence’s slavish and obsequious worship in one cabinet meeting during the last regime. Yet it didn’t save him from almost dangling from the business end of a noose. Grovel now, Dangle later.

I think people haven't noticed how common it is

They might have been… he has one foot over the grave and one foot on a banana peel… so they never know when the last one will be… and they don’t want to leave anything unsaid in case it’s not.. and he gets mad… but doesn’t met his ultimate end 🔥

It's not the first cabi et mtg that went like that. So no. It's just their regular loyalty test to dear leader.

Reassurance before major surgery makes sense.

good point

Whisper of a dream.

Timing matters. "Per 22nd Amendment, from 1951, a succeeding VP who serves <2 yrs of a Pres. term is eligible to serve 2 full terms of his own, if elected. If the VP(or any successor) serves more than 2 years of an unexpired term, he/she is only eligible for 1 additional four-year term."

Project 2025 has Vance as POTUS by February, if not before…

It did present that way, as if they were paying last respects. But then again, they’re always weird.

Sad news friends. The regime won’t die with the mascot.

But it will create a power vacuum that could deeply affect its future.

Trump is a mouth and a signature. Trump doesn’t want to be president. The presidents job is work. Trump doesn’t want to work. He wants to decree as king. But mostly he wants to avoid prison for the 100 felonies he is guilty of. He gave the power of government to those who promised him that.

Trump is a mouth and a signature who has successfully unified multiple branches of the American right. I’m not sure Vance has the pull to keep that going.

I think a nation that has purged one of its two political parties from government doesn’t need the pull of any one.

No, but the cult following will.

The cult is the cult of white supremacy. And until this nation reckons with that reality. It will never go away.

You could ruin a wet dream.

Let us have a little fun.

Yes it will. JD has had charisma bypass surgery and no amount of Peter Thiel’s money can buy that. It will be glorious MAGA fratricide.

Indeed, since Putin will still have them all by the short & curlies.

As long as the MAGA kult loses their god-sent super fascist leader and I don't have to see or hear him in the news everyday, everywhere, I'm happy enough 🙏

Republicans will fracture though

I’m all for finding out.

It won't be nearly as strong, though

It will still hold the power of a government it purged of challenge. It will still not return election power to the people. And I wouldn’t hold any delusion that maga will turn against the authority they installed just because the mascot is dead.

Who knows? JD Vance>>Peter Theil>> other minions

The MAGA cult is Donald's, and despite there being plenty of others who will try and replace him they will not have the magnetic pull orange Hitler has to make the primary voters scare the trap out of repub senators and reps. They'll still be a huge problem, but trumps demise is the apex

It is the cult of white supremacy. It existed long before Trump and will exist with out him. Installed into power by him. Trump is a mouth and a signature. The cult are those who can no longer tolerate the advancement of society. Because society no longer values their ideologies.

His death will be empty and meaningless and we will still be stuck with a regime that won’t return election power to the people. And I wouldn’t recommend holding any delusion that maga will challenge the authority they installed. Just because the mascot is dead.

Agree MAGA is all DJT. but don't underestimate what's been supporting him.

Yes but hopefully they won't listen to him or be afraid of him like they were of Donnie

It definitely had the tones of a family getting ready to put Pop Pop into an elderly home.

They know what we all know, the dirty old man is dying, we're just waiting for that announcement and the world will be filled with the sounds of cheering and champagne corks flying...

Don’t celebrate yet. 1. He might be laying low bec. of a med procedure like a pacemaker; requires a couple days of rest. 2. Vance is no prince of light. He’s beholden to billionaire, Christian nationalists & Project 2025. He may even be more effective at delivering for them than a bumbling Trump

If only….

Like a celebration of pending ........

Please help me quote We need your support and humanity Our children are hungry and the war has destroyed all our dreams I speak to you in the name of humanity, participating and contributing for the sake of children. www.chuffed.org/project/1365...

Aaaaaaaahhhhh, kinda sweet.

They know that he has something on all of them. Other than a clamp on their balls

Polonium?

Except this also happened during his first time. No, I think they are briefed that it is expected.

Except they do it every single time.

I'd thought the same.

That was just nauseating to watch.

Hmm..... 💡

Vulture Vance is hovering mighty close. I thought given the planned participants it might have been a 25th Am meeting.

How will his minions respond? www.youtube.com/watch?v=aopd...

I'm sure they've all brought their togas with them.

Ohhhhhh this is making me excited!!!

But then wouldn't they have been telling him to rot in Hell? They can't possibly actually care about him.

Ohhhh, makes sense!

Well I sincerely hope he doesn't suffer for too long

Us or him?

Both! 🤣

I do. RFK Jr should be in charge of his "treatment"

Same!!!!!!!

Vance, holding his cards tight...

They are hand picked by the Heritage Foundation to be his cronies and normalize dictatorship. Several of them are felons - all of them are extremely rich. You think you're looking at foolish sycophants, but they know exactly what they are doing - systematically changing the system of government.

😏

Lol was thinking the same thing. When he kicks the bucket he’ll finally be making America great again.

With all the speculation today, hope so far dashed, it did occur to me that wasting 3 hours of a cabinet meeting brown nosing was odd. Mind you if he’s not long for this earth, why be so grovelling?

That’s just who they are I expect. Vile.

If he had another colonoscopy without anesthesia, I hope Lindsey Graham helped with the scope. He’s in there far enough.

“We’re going to need you to step to the side, Lindsay. You’re blocking the camera.”

Even Dr. Evil ran a better cabinet meeting.

Keep in mind that there is no on from the cabinet of 45 that made it to 47.

But they’ve done that before where they go around the table like a Thanksgiving dinner where everyone says what they’re thanks for. Only they all take turns telling him how wonderful he is.

No, he's held meetings like this before.

Please let someone with a conscience put that POS out of our misery. I'm not even picky about how it happens anymore.

Chemical fire.

Nah, I didn't see enough panic mixed with naked ambition.

🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

This picture was taken today, August 30 2025. Trump is visibly wasted, and has clearly dropped a large amount of weight. His cabinet *has* to know something. This looks like a very sick - and uncharacteristically very pale - man with a conveniently placed golf glove. Photo source linked in alt.

It was not taken today. It was taken last month at Turnberry, Scotland

But he was in all black. So in the picture he posted with that Wiggy looking hair, apparently that was Trump just not this month

Yeah, the article specifically cited the photo as being taken today in Virginia, so someone at the Hindustan Times screwed up, bigly.

Ah - thanks! Then either the article was misleading, or I need to clean my glasses. 50/50 on which one it is.

And what's up with the wig?

Who wears this to play golf?

Glove is on the proper hand for golf, if he lost weight I can point him right to it on his ass and gut, he’s pale because that’s the color he is not Cheeto orange like on tv.

Humoring gramps with one final round?

*I know my dads diagnosis (end-stage liver disease, otherwise known as the find out portion of the fuck around) but I have no idea what could be wrong with Trump.

I'm thinking so, because I just spent 2 and a half weeks watching my father's organ shutting down, and am now seeing him turning around. What I saw with my dad looks awfully familiar here. I don't know what the mans' diagnosis is, but I do know he's very sick.

Mentally!

This isn't today. Its warm and sunny in DC today.

Not arguing in any way at all, but this is how I got the information it was today. Do better, Hindustan Times. 🤬

See inside President Trump's new Scotland golf course share.google/1R6DrqrZJnmg...

The MAGA hat is NOT red in this picture contrat to what the article says. 🤔

There’s nothing suspicious about wearing a golf glove while playing golf.

I didn't say suspicious. I said convenient. He can't walk around with a glove on his bruised hand all the time like he's suddenly decided to try to Michael Jackson it, but he can have his hands photographed while playing golf because conveniently, his bruised hand is the one the golf glove goes on.

Lost weight?? Are we looking at the same photo?

That’s what I was wondering, plus he is not that sick if he is playing golf

Is his gut overflowing?

YES, and it’s hidden by the dark colors

Regardless of anything--- that 'cabinet meeting' (FFS)-- was amongst the actual sickest things I've EVER witnessed! And I don't mean ' sick' as in good. Genuinely unbearable! Some truly weird 'Caligula with armed guards ready to kill if you don't say something insanely sycophantic' type weird.

It did pass my mind.

I’ll believe it when I see his grey bloated corpse.

Well the bloated part is happening. Hard to tell skin color with all the pancake makeup

Stephen Miller looking Trump's autopen at the moment.

oh my. So you're saying there's still hope

That is the ONLY context that Felon-47-love-fest works.

The end is near.

I had that fleeting thought as well, but then I remembered how big of monsters all the cabinet members are. They are opportunistic assholes who see humans as props to uplift themselves or adversaries to be crushed.

They don’t know what obsequious means, so I am skeptical.

They don't know anything.

dissentinbloom.substack.com/p/one-blood-...

Oh. I truly wish that was the explanation. But no, I think it's just full-on North Korea Dear Leader drivel.

I just said the same exact thing to my son. That whole scenario was beyond bizarre.

God wherever you are' hollowed by thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is wherever you dwell. "please Lord allow Donnie J Trump finally pass away & suffer in hell for eternity!" In your name God I beg Amen

That's what I'm thinking too

No wonder he was getting increasingly nervous about going to hell… 😈

Leaders who value loyalty above all else have a symbiotic relationship with those unable to succeed on their own merits www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s George Takei suggesting that people’s overly flattering behavior might hint at hidden knowledge or motives, implying there’s more to their actions than meets the eye.

We can hope.

Psalm 109:8 "Let his days be few; may another take his place of leadership" Thoughts and prayers

Interesting and compelling thought.

That was the most disgusting display I have ever witnessed.

They know it, but they sure as hell won’t tell the public until they have their bullshit in order.
