    The obituary thing. I’m pretty sure that’s the only reason the majority of us still check headlines daily.

      Reminds me of an old joke (I found it here, but I’m sure it’s not the original)

      There’s an old Soviet joke: A man goes to a newspaper stand every day, buys a copy of Pravda, glances at the front cover, curses, and throws it away.

      After a few weeks of this the seller just has to ask what’s going on: “why do you always look at the cover but never inside?”

      “I’m looking for an obituary.”

      “An obituary? But those are in the back!”

      “Oh no, the obituary I’m looking for will be on the front page.”

      Point is, when he dies, you won’t need to go online to see it.

            We need to not forget this shit. We need to remember what can happen what can happen if a PoS takes office and given the powers of a king. We need better laws and a better fucking government.

            Everything fuckface stole from us needs to be taken away and given back— including all the stuff grifted by his disgusting spawn and sycophant mushroom-fluffers. I want them destitute and in prison.

            We have a huge problem with sweeping things under the rug. It then gives offenders the leeway to say, “you need to move on. We already said you won, and literally no one cares anymore.” Leave some of the legacy items up, and add the names of everyone who had a part in building or normalizing this. His kids, Miller, Vance, Joe Rogan, Jimmy Kimmel, every ICE agent, every FBI agent who touched the Trump/Epstein files and didn’t immediately sound the alarm. On some of the other items, list every single victim. Those directly killed by choices originating him, Kegsbreath, Musk, etc. should be listed with a brief bio and description of how they were killed. Those who were negatively affected by tariffs; EPA, FDA, or CDC fuckery; gas prices; etc. should be enumerated as “harmed by” or “killed by.”
