Trump Trends Online After Unconfirmed Reports Place Him at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Saturday
It’s been several hours, and none of the major outlets have picked it up.
Another distraction.
I’m at Walter Reed feeling fine thanks everyone.
The people in that orbit are greedy sociopaths who can only be kept in line through fear. Once he dies, the fear vanishes and they’ll turn on each other so fucking quickly.
I can’t wait for it.
Just a wierd example, I guess. Some authoritarians want to keep their lineage in power. Others, like Trump, can’t stand the idea of sharing the limelight with anyone else so there’s a free for all when he loses power. Same with Stalin.
“To ensure a full succession of leadership to his son and designated successor Kim Jong Il, Kim turned over his chairmanship of North Korea’s National Defense Commission – the body mainly responsible for control of the armed forces as well as the supreme commandership of the country’s now million-man strong military force, the Korean People’s Army – to his son in 1991 and 1993.”
I pray he doesn’t. I pray he suffers a debilitating stroke, that he wastes away in a chair, refusing to step down or stop taking press conferences. I pray he suffers tremors, and delirium, slurred and broken speech, visibly decaying.
I want his followers to see him as the pathetic husk that he is. I want him to live decades in that chair, I want him to have endless trials in that chair. Death is the easy way out.
“No John, you’re wrong. Dying is worse. Because, well, it is. Isn’t it?”
This reminded me of my favourite scene in Luther. I think dying is worse too. Once he’s dead, it’s over. We get so caught up in wanting to see justice, but is there no greater justice than death? The desire to see him suffer is coming from a place of anger, hate, and malice. Not justice. It’s gaudy. It also gives him the opportunity to live. Why would you give him that gift? Death is final.
I used to hear about Charlie Kirk all the time, from local conservatives, but not so much anymore. I don’t think there’s any way to look at it, other than death being the ultimate punishment. He didn’t get to be a big martyr icon, he was in the news and left behind. Dying presents a golden opportunity that should not be taken for granted, no more speaking.
Finally, I just want to say this, one who wishes to see suffering and pain, is one who wishes to create martyrdom. And I don’t want that.
Charlie Kirk is absolutely still talked about by the right, and it absolutely has undertones of martyrdom.
It’s not about justice, it’s about breaking the spell. It’s about destroying the ridiculous, yet widespread, picture of him as a charismatic strongman. If he just dies, his devotees can hold onto that image, and carry the enthusiasm to the next one. If he withers away pathetically over years, the magic of the movement leaks away, and the cult may awkwardly wither with him.
But more importantly, the people behind him pulling the strings will be able to get away with much worse if obedient JD fills his seat. The saving grace of Trump’s incompetence is his tendency to screw up the plan given by his puppeteers. His buffoonery is currently the most effective factor in slowing Project 2025.
Don’t worry, we’ll still have high gas prices and the Epstein files to remind us.
Also, Vance will continue the traditions, and probably make the Iran war worse.
Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that two stood against many. That’s what’s important. Valor pleases you, Crom, so grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!
The White House also issued what is known as a ‘lid’ on Saturday, a notification to the press pool indicating the president would not be making any public appearances for the remainder of the day. Krassenstein noted that a lid at 11 am was unusual for Trump, adding that the president had not travelled to Mar-a-Lago as he typically does at weekends. A separate, unverified post on Bluesky from an anonymous user claimed that a major road near the hospital had been blocked off and that an emergency meeting was underway at the White House. Neither claim has been independently verified.
I had guessed by Christmas. He looks terrible. Cankles like that happen when your heart and/or kidneys are in failure. He also acts like a man with stroke defecits. In addition to all the signs of Alzheimer’s, which, unlike dementia, is an additional physical degradation of the brain that can kill you.
If he’s on dialysis, skipping dialysis can easily kill you. Potassium alone can do it. Skip, potassium rises, maybe to 6+, heart attack. The meds that remove that fluid and reduce the size of cankles rely on the kidneys and can damage the kidneys.
Even so. Do not believe for a single second that any of this improves under President Theil, er, Vance.
Exactly.
As weird as it is to say, Trumps unpredictability, irrationality, and penchant for reacting without thinking, have probably mitigated more damage than its caused.
When you get Vance in there, Who is capable of self control, who has the pressure of the money masters on him to do X… I think things would genuinely get much worse under him. Especially since he’d also be struggling to reign in control of the cult of trump and direct them usefully… Possibly by declaring that liberals were responsible for Trumps death, and inciting extreme violence as a result to distract from his own weakness.
Trump can be replaced immediately by any hack TV personality. That Hercules guy, for example…
Or anyone with solid name recognition, like Bezos. It’s a really big deal for the stupid, and the stupid are most of the registered voters, after all.
He’s way smarter though, at least rhetorically to the median electorate as a psychopath anyway. We all thought the same of Trump back in 2015 too.
When the billionaires make their pivot, and you can tell they’re already setting up the chess pieces for a post-Trump era, watch how suddenly they promote Vance or some other shithead

Vance is already Theil’s puppet. Has been since before he was nominated to run with Trump.
