I heard vance had a stroke to after sitting on a particularly comely and plush Chesterfield.

Who knew? Campaign speeches from both sides were correct. Both Biden and Trump we’re too old to be viable candidates
I believe Trump has had multiple strokes in the year or so at minimum. I’ve said this before on different posts, but my grandmother passed away in 2008 of a massive stroke, but leading up to that she had many smaller strokes that slowly debilitated her took away her voice and she slowly developed dementia and Alzheimer’s looking at Trump in just the last year, something major is going on internally inside of them. It’s only a matter of time before something. Major happens hopefully live on TV. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
I am just going to take this moment to thank 'FistingEnthusiast' for bringing us this timely news update.
You're welcome,
Come for the news, stay for the perverted filth
More like cum for the perverted filth, stay for the news...
Just like visiting grandma's house
I wouldn't call it 'concern'. Maybe 'hope' is a better word for it ?
I have my everything crossed
Want to cross dicks for good luck?
Don't cross the streams, Ray.
I have my bollocks tied in a knot
I'm old
They dangle low enough to do that now
Old too: it's easier once you're old enough that you can use your feet to untangle them.
Can you tie them in a bow?
I can throw them over my shoulder like a regimental soldier
Can't help but notice the Biden is old and demented crowd has gotten pretty quiet lately
I really want Biden to outlive Trump
Yeah, and I'm also OK with Biden checking out whenever it's his time, as long as Trump goes before he does, and Trump's demise is a morass of fear, untreatable pain and humiliating degeneration.
And I want Bernie to outlive both of them
He’s the oldest, but most mentally healthy by far. If his heart hangs in there he should be able to.
It’s fucking wild to me that he’s still sharp as he is, especially when in juxtaposition to Biden and fuck face
It's far from inevitable that old people get brain-rot. The risk increases with age, but is never overwhelmingly high.
My grandfather made it to 101, and he only slowed down a bit mentally in his final year, and even then, more because of his hearing getting much worse than due to any cognitive decline. I'm a strong chess player, and he could still hand me my ass when he was in his late 90s.
I am starting to think he has already received a terminal diagnosis of some kind and we're just seeing him moving through various stages of his narcissistic personality trying to deal with it. His obsession with stopping a war of some kind (to try to get into heaven), his posting of the magic cure-all beds video. He knows his time is short and is desperate to find a loophole to immortality either through science or religion. His energy has been dropping precipitously and his ramblings are more incoherent than usual.
This could all just be wishful thinking on my part though. His death through natural causes may be a way out of this nightmare, or at least slow things down enough for a chance at recovery.
I think you might be on to something there
I hope whatever it is takes him soon, and I hope it hurts the whole time
If he's aware of his decline, that's pain, especially for someone who has been as unaccountable as he has been.
Having a stroke? He IS the stroke.
The stroke's calling the shots now, Randy.
This is the good stuff I left reddit for!
With how absolutely nuts he's been acting this last week, I would not be surprised if he's completely lost the plot by now. It's like he's trying to do all the crap he planned for all 4 years in just 2 months because that's how long the doctor thinks he'll live.
Are people now pretending he hasn't been batshit insane for over a decade?
Something can be bad and yet still get worse.
No, it's worse.
Well, it’s getting to the end of 2025, and no one has a project 2026, so I think they want to make everything happen soon.
The problem is the primary goal of project 2025 was to focus heavily on the "mandate for leadership". Which is to replace key federal leadership positions with like minded conservatives within the first 180 days of the presidency. The reason being that even long after the Trump is out of office they will still have control.
This was something they believed hurt Trump the most during his first term and were so focused on in his second term. Funny enough he whole Doge/Elon Musk actually fucked up and slowed down their effort. Maybe that was a factor on musk leaving who knows.
Regardless though, it doesn't matter what health issues or whatever happens to Trump now, he's pretty much already help pave the way for them. We will be dealing with the consequences of this for decades.
Don't give me false hope!
I know!
I have a special bottle of champagne standing by
I have a collection of several small bottles of rum in a giftbox, each but one customized with a ribbon with the names Trump, Putin, Musk, Murdoch and Orban printed on them respectively.
It lools really classy...
I like how there's room for 1 more
I call the undedicated bottle: "The bottle of the unknown bad guy", sort of like you hear about a famous death on the news and immediately think "Good riddance!".
I really like that!
Oh, that's a good point. I need to chill mine.
He isn't the one with strokes, dementia or mental decline .... all of us are for continuing to accept that this orange clown is a significant leader that deserves our attention.
Not my leader
I'm grateful every day that I'm not a yank
I'm a Yank and he's not my leader either. He's just a scummy dictator.
