[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 32 points 4 months ago

With the small number of total words, it could have been one picture

[-] fosho@lemmy.ca 24 points 4 months ago

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Just imagine William Shatner's voice.

[-] negativeyoda@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

It's even more fun as Christopher Walken

[-] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, it's pretty bad, particularly trying to read it on a phone.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Carter is still alive and in a coma, dreaming of building houses for poor people.

Even in a coma, Jimmy Carter is doing more for the American people than Ronald Reagan ever did.

[-] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 43 points 4 months ago

WAIT HE'S IN COMA???

Poor guy... Old couples rlly do pop off one after the other, huh. His wife passed last year, n he's well on his way now...

[-] finley@lemm.ee 38 points 4 months ago

He’s been in hospice for several months, and his son released some information about a week ago, saying that he is now in a coma.

But the fucker just won’t die. GG Carter

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 26 points 4 months ago

I sure hope he outlives Trump.

[-] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 months ago

Only if he is gonna live for like 10 more years, I want to see Trump go to jail not die having never had a single consequence.

[-] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 16 points 4 months ago

Actually, him just unceremoniously dropping dead could possibly be one of the most disastrous things that could happen to the redcaps.

Cult movements need a well organized second in command who can co-opt the infrastructure to carry the message forward past the death of the founding leader/prophet/poobah/whatever.

Trump tried to have the best shot they had at that guy lynched on the steps of the capitol building, he's blown apart any infrastructure that could survive his own demise because he refuses to accept that the world is allowed to go on without him.

There is no second in command, there is no contingency to preserve the cult, that man could die of toilet exertion tonight and by tomorrow morning we'd already be watching the whole movement collapse into infighting and sectionalism because kissing that brass calf's ass was the only thing that bridged the fact that these people all hate each other.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago

My fear is that he could live another twenty without seeing consequences. I’ll settle for having him gone.

[-] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Well there's a balancing act though because I have to out-live him. I would dearly like to go to the graves of trump and McConnell to... pay my respects, as it were.

We ain’t that lucky

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

He's been in Hospice for ~15 months now. Some people I know who have him in their deadpool are losing sleep over it.

Not necessarily a coma, but his grandson did say he's not awake every day anymore, and I was like "Well, shit, I'm 54 and I'm not awake every day either!"

[-] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

Serious question: What does not being awake every day mean? R u like sleepy constantly? Or do you just get memory holes or something? Is this common in older people?

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I wasn't feelng well last week, slept all day Sunday and all day Tuesday.

[-] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Oof. Get well soon I suppose.

[-] veni_vedi_veni@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

He told Americans what they needed to hear, not what they wanted to hear, and when they didn't re-elect him for that, that's when it marked the decadent phase of this hegemony.

[-] LordCrom@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Jimmy Carter is a good man but was in a job that did not suit him. And people will remember him for that fault unfortunately. Since being president he has shown how much he cares for humanity

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 44 points 4 months ago

Fuck Reagan. If there is a Hell, I hope he and Kissinger are getting human-centipeded

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 5 points 4 months ago

And I hope they have to eat nothing but Putin, over and over again.

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Why do you hate Canadian cousine so much?

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I’m a former born and raised Christian turned anti-theist, I’d be happy to find out I’m wrong if it means those two and Nixon are in eternal agony

[-] dumpsterlid@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

What I like to imagine that brings a smile to my face is the afterlife for Ronald Reagan involves him being stuck in a small room perfectly healthy and fine, but utterly alone, for the rest of eternity. Nothing is in the room and there are no windows. The room is a single color and silent.

Kissinger I think I would like to not to actually go to hell but be reincarnated as a public trash can in the dirtiest and most desperate part of a Republican/austerity ravaged rust belt city. In this case I would hope Kissinger felt excruciating pain the entire time.

Then again maybe heaven would be wonderful for the rest of us if you took Kissinger and Reagan and cloned them into human bowling pins that you would try to squish into blood splatters with boulders over and over again in a relaxing bowling style game. In this case every single death would be felt by Reagan and Kissinger, their screams and squishing bodies would echo around the bowling alley adding a nice staccato excitement to the background music playing on the speakers!

Do I sound unhinged? Good! Maybe I am describing a bowling alley in hell and not heaven but idk sign me up wherever it is both these men are mass murderers who more than got away with their heinous crimes.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 38 points 4 months ago

Very very annoying and unnecessary format for a joke.

Ronald Reagan is in hell, waiting for heaven to trickle down.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago

I mean he died like 50 years too late to improve anything, but John Oliver ain't wrong.

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

Even Nixon signed the EPA into existence. That’s one good thing. Best thing Reagan did is feed worms in the cemetery.

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

On taking office, Nixon established the Council of Urban Affairs, under the leadership of Daniel Patrick Moynihan, to develop a welfare reform proposal. Moynihan's proposed plan centered on replacing welfare programs with a negative income tax, which would provide a guaranteed minimum income to all Americans. Nixon became closely involved in the proposal and, despite opposition from Arthur Burns and other conservatives, adopted Moynihan's plan as the central legislative proposal of his first year in office. In an August 1969 televised address, Nixon proposed the Family Assistance Plan (FAP), which would establish a national income floor of $1600 per year for a family of four.

Taken from his Wikipedia. Nixon. I mean how far the bar has dropped.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

That 1600 is apparently equivalent to 13k today. Not the chump change I thought it was gonna be.

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

Nancy gave great head, reportedly.

[-] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

That's the going canon.

But of the many, many reasons to celebrate her absence from this current iteration of mortal coil, what she liked to do behind closed bedroom doors is not one of them for me.

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Oh, yeah, just trying to find bright spots. That talent is definitely a positive character trait, in my mind.

[-] TurtleJoe@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

She sucked ol Ronny stupid.

[-] vga@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 months ago

It's true: literally everything has been better every year since 2004.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago
