    I’m not much of a wine person, but if I’m still around and not disappeared to a camp, I’m gonna knock back a bottle of champagne when it happens. I’ve already made my peace with the fact he’ll never see justice for anything he’s done, but god willing I’ll get to read his obituary with a shit-eating grin on my face.

      Well, there’s a silver lining perhaps: One of the worst effects of dementia is how it completely isolates you from the world and traps you in your own mental misery and despair. So I at least take solace knowing that the remaining years of his life will be, whether he wants to admit it or not, a nightmare he cannot escape from.

        100%. The only people I feel bad for in that scenario are the nurses and aides who will be tasked with helping him. Though considering how many are from demographics that he’s made life more difficult for (working class, usually women, often PoC, possibly from another country (the Philippines in particular train a lot of nurses/aids that go to work in the US)), the final coda of Trump’s life may require him to be completely at their mercy. It’d be a complete reversal of power over him.

        I’ve never hoped for somebody going into a nursing home before, but this guy deserves it.

          I do have to say turning the White House into his personal nursing home was NOT on my bingo card.

          WTF

      “a bottle of champagne”?

      Jesus. I will be black out drunk from the case(s) I’ll be opening. I’ll celebrate in the fucking streets with everyone until I physically can’t anymore.
