He DOES NOT deserve to be among those Founding Fathers.

I want him to die in prison.

Still — maybe he could die on July 3 so everyone can fully celebrate all day on the 4th….

but really older people will either fight death to stay alive on a holiday, having a momentary "life" moment, or they'll die right around the holiday. My grandma waiting until xmas was over. My mom was going to experience her birthday, no matter what. But what really got me was the "recovery" my dad made after he had arterial catherization. He looked and acted so good, I called work and said I'd be in the next day. Was on to be... by that next day, he was gone.

We'll get to celebrate and hot damn but it'll be an awesome weekend -- but we'll have to endure the ceaseless post-mortem beatification of the "transformative" Trump. A controversial figure, they shall all say, but a significant one... one worthy to die on America's holiday.

And then I and every other Democrat gags.

But yes, I'll take a holiday croaking - mythologizing and all.

For years to come, there’d be some sort of memorial coverage if he croaked on July 4th. Let it be some other day and definitely NOT a holiday!

NO ONE can know the hour - or day. I just know it will be welcome news whenever it happens. To me it’ll mean he won’t be able to hurt or cheat or deceive ANYBODY else, ever again.

Any day will do, 4th of July is as good a day as any.

Watching the cult that is the Trump_house_of_cards collapse soon afterwards will be a pleasure.

Think about what he's facing: Putting tR*mp and Putin in the same cave with Stalin, Adolf, Mao, and Saddam--can you imagine what that place would be like?? It'll take every bit of Satan's managerial skill to handle that crowd of megalomaniacs!

but I hope he croaks right after the next election, he's doing a good job of turning voters against his
elected R enablers, like to see him keep it up.

Is Jefferson and Adam’s died on 7/4/1826 . . . Exactly 200 years ago . . . I mean there are anniversaries and there are ANNIVERSARIES.
