If COVID19 takes Donnie Trump,

[guillaumeb]

I am prepared to mourn as much as seems appropriate.

[TruckFump]

1. I'm prepare to scream...

...POETIC JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!

[guillaumeb]

7. Karma. eom

[PJMcK]

2. Mourn?!

If Trump dies, the party is on!

[guillaumeb]

4. I would mourn appropriately.

Is it rude to speak of karma?

[PJMcK]

28. Would champagne be appropriate? (n/t)

[lark]

3. By appropriately mourning, you mean jumping up and down with glee?

Dancing and drinking champagne while elbow bumping everyone and singing Glory Glory Hallejuliah with some new lyrics inserted or Ding Dong the Witch is Dead? That's what would be happening in my household.

[guillaumeb]

6. Yes, that could be appropriate. eom

[lark]

9. Glad we agree.

[lagomorph777]

23. Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead!

My wife often speculates that it would be an instant "Hail Dorothy!" situation, with all of Turd's sycophants suddenly turning on him.

[Turbineguy]

5. I have

a bottle of inexpensive champagne on stand-by.

To help with the mourning.

[guillaumeb]

10. Agreed.

Karma in action. How many more of the inner circle will join Trump in the COVID19 club?

[lagomorph777]

24. Turd Jr, Princess Turd, Eric The Turd, Turd-In-Law, Kimberly Gargoyle?

Anybody I missed?

[guillaumeb]

26. COVID19 does not hear Trump's lies. eom

[Act_of_Reparation]

8. I see what you did there.

[guillaumeb]

11. I tried to be subtle.

Karma is truly the appropriate response.

[ResistantAmerican17]

12. Dotard donnie should be thrilled...he has United the world in prayer......

what specifically you pray for is between you and the invisible cloud being......

[Autumn]

13. I'm starting my preparations a bit early.

[guillaumeb]

14. An appropriate sympathy dance. eom

[MineralMan]

15. Your post drips with sarcasm.

Due to that, I think it is inappropriate here. You confirm that sarcasm downthread, as well.

We can feel whatever we feel with regard to Donald J. Trump, but not all expressions of how we feel are appropriate for Democratic Underground, I think.

I will not express my feelings about this situation online. I will keep them to myself.

[guillaumeb]

17. Trump is a victim of his own lies.

Sad is that his lies have infected so many others with the same stupidity.

[MineralMan]

19. Yes, but that has nothing to do with what I wrote.

Much is revealed by what one posts.

[guillaumeb]

22. I remember your responses in the Al Franken situation.

So yes, much can be revealed.

[MineralMan]

25. This is not that situation, is it?

I have made my opinion of your post clear. I will now leave this thread.

[NotASurfer]

16. His odds of death or long-term effects are probably only 1 in 10

We're a long way from Generalissimo Francisco Franco yet.

But statistically I'd guess even odds that at least one passenger on that helicopter ride of the damned will punch that particular button. It's a cliffhanger as to which cast members get renewed for next season

[guillaumeb]

20. True, but Trump is in the high risk category.

Very obese, and in bad health.

[NotASurfer]

29. He's still more likely than not to survive

In his age range, if he gets sick enough to require hospitalization, the base mortality rate is about 5%...but his weight alone at least triples the odds.

Even in the 15-20% range, it's about the same as Russian roulette - pun unintentional - but with a virus instead of a bullet in the chamber.

Long-term health issues are I think less well-understood but I've seen reports of anywhere up to 30% of survivors having long-term impairment. Odds still in his favor but definitely not optimal.

There's a lot that can happen and we can imagine karmic justice, I'm hesitant to predict it. Right now he's playing odds that a sane person would avoid and in that case he accepts the consequences, no matter how dire. I'm with you on that!

[Renew Deal]

18. Well, the grave dancing arguments will return to DU.

Is it appropriate? How much is too much? A good and predictable sideshow.

[guillaumeb]

21. Is it appropriate that Trump is now diagnosed with the same virus he lied about for so long?

I am not wishing for anything to happen to him, however, it is impossible to feel sympathy for the man who has done so much to weaken and divide the country.

[RussBLib]

27. I might start believing in karma again - n/t

[sheshe2]

30. It is what it is. nt

[Talitha]

31. Yes indeed...

[NurseJackie]

32. I'm polishing my dancing shoes... just in case.

[guillaumeb]

33. Black shoes? A funeral is a solemn occasion. eom

[NurseJackie]

34. Red... square dancing / clogging shoes! (To match my dress!)
