Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Donald Trump on Saturday said there would be “serious consequences” if tech mogul Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in favor of the GOP’s sweeping budget bill.

“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.

“He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” he added.

Trump also said he has no desire to repair his relationship with Musk after a feud between the two men erupted into public view earlier this week.

My fantasy is that Trump tries to have Elon killed/arrested but fails because he's rich and has very good guards. So then Elon sends someone to kill Trump, which is successful. Then Elon dies from some drug complications right after. If we're lucky, they both die after shitting their pants.

There's a lot of quick and seemingly painless deaths here!! Unacceptable.


Ok, here goes:
The overbloated satsuma sends in the gravy seals to kill him, however they only maim him leaving muskrat in excruciating pain...but alive.
For now.

He escapes and goes in to exile somewhere (Moscow? Somewhere embarrassing.) but it doesn't matter as he can't leave his bed due to the searing pain etc etc.

muskrat realises he's going to die a slow painful death so in turn takes a leaf out of putlers' book and smuggles some polonium in to Fatboys big mac. Mr Chunky CheesePaint eats said poisoned big mac and starts to deteriorate nice and slowly, but painfully.

Now there are both slowly dying. They both have weeks or a few months at best to live. And even with pain meds they'll both experience the horror of the agony, AND the knowledge that death is coming for them.


Not my finest work but the essence is that they both get taken out and endure the pain they so rightfully deserve.

In this scenario, I would like Thiel, Yarvin, Marjorly, and the rest of the fascist gang to die in a freak aeroplane crash.

Well, he does believe he can fly.

Can they shit their pants very publicly and in the most embarrassing way possible?

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 10 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (3 children)

Bit of a FYI:

We all shit our pants when we die. The sphincter muscles relax and well, shit happens.

We also fart...a lot.

I have discovered bodies in various stages of post mortem, from recent to rigor. Shitting of pants is not a given. And I was an EMT, not just a crazy person.

Years ago, I read In Cold Blood, and the thing that scared one of the killers the most, was that when he was hanged, he'd shit his pants. He insisted on using the toilet before his execution.

Not me. If they're going to execute me, I'm going to hold it for a few days, and make my executioners deal with the ahftermath.

Night before:

14 deviled eggs and coffee.

Last meal:

Milk and ex-lax.

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

But they said AFTER shitting their pants, so really we’re just hoping two drug-addled fuckheads very reasonably shit themselves before dying so there’s insult added to injury.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 4 points 15 hours ago

Ah yes. Missed that part. Double shit for them both!

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 hours ago

Yes, I too saw that episode of South Park.
