The lack of specificity reminds me of the joke about the Russians getting arrested for holding up blank signs that actually came true https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-war-invasion-protests-police-arrest-activists-holding-blank-signs-paper-1687603

Edit: apparently the blank sign thing goes back farther than I realized https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blank_paper_protest

the lack of writing and slogans on the paper itself is designed to thwart efforts by authorities to prove that their prohibitions and regulations have been violate

Well, it doesn't always work

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

[–] Birch@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Murdoch, Musk, Bezos, Yong-Un, Farage, Khamenei, Modi, Duterte, ...

Add Elon to the list. There will be massive parties all over the world when that rich piece of shit dies.

Everyone letting McConnell off the hook like he's not responsible for the past 20 years of deterioration of the Senate.

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Started with Newt but yeah...

[–] MumboJumbo@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

(Forget that McConnell is a year old than Newt)

Can't wait to piss on his grave. Already bought the pop up tent

Roger fucken Stone

This is kinda stupid, there’s a million assholes available to take the place of current top asshole. The only cure is to address the reason why assholes get the amount of power they do. FDR-style socialism and high taxes will address so much of this.

For some reason Trump is a cult of personality though no one else on the right can duplicate. So many voters that casted for only Trump on their ballots. There will be a big hole for MAGA to fill and noone comes to mind that all his followers will rally to.

And even with his passing nothing will fundamentally change for the better, because he isn't the exception to an otherwise good system. He's a symptom of a fundamentally oppressive system.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

But it will be worth celebrating regardless.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago (2 children)

and all the news stations will look back on his life in the most positive of lights. Anyone expressing joy for the passing of this terrible person will be chided for daring to disrespect someone who didn't respect any of us peasants when he was alive.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Fortunately it won't bring the fucker back to life.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

AI might "keep him going" for a bit though.

You're all wrong. This is about NPR's This American Life host Ira Glass.

He knows what he did.

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago

I like the lack of specificity because Make America Great Again is just as nonspecific.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Keep an eye on Tumblr for the crabbiest of crab raves.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 8 points 6 months ago

In the Soviet Union, there was a man who every morning went to the news kiosk, picked up a newspaper, looked at the front page and put it back. After a few weeks, the seller asked him what he was doing. “I’m looking for an obituary”, he said.

“But obituaries aren’t on the front page”

“This one will be”

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It's gonna be disappointing though. I remember when Reagan died. We all had to be silent out of politeness while Republicans pretended he was the greatest American ever.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Not this time.

[–] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Be the change you want to see in the world.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Can't give them even a wisp of an excuse to target anyone

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The true knowledge it that each of us will wake up to our own obituary.......

[–] SwordInStone@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

Obviously.

I should have included some slashies I guess.

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago
[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

It's referring to the man in the image. Isn't that obvious?
