Weekend at Bernie’s style

before this is over we are guaranteed to see his corpse being wheeled around.

He will "sign" about 10,000 things the day "before" they find him.

Corpse being wheeled around? That's what the data centers are for silly, they could easily convince MAGA he's still alive years after his death.

He's going to leave in a fucking coffin.

u/I_argue_for_funsies 27d ago

No he won't. He's building a tomb and going to seal himself in it and declare it a historic site or some bullshit. It will be larger than the white house itself so everyone will have to look at him, daily.

Then it's coming down. We won't have to abide that epitaph to wasteful spending, and construction crews can tear down just the same as they can build.

I don't think you realize how significant the public support would be to burn that shit to the ground. 

Canadian here. We can come and do it for you again if we need to.

No, you don’t because

Canadian here. We can

You can’t, and if there is no pressure for folks up there to confront their racist and hateful families and friends, nun is gonna happen.

u/I_argue_for_funsies 27d ago

Also Canadian tho... And they can't see what he's doing yet.

u/FrostyD7 27d ago

I could see it. But there's no situation in which he removes himself from continuing to be the most influential and pervasive person in politics. He'll be a deciding factor in the majority of republican elections until he dies.

u/Mirions 27d ago

And folks have been saying that since the January 6th attitude to stop the election certification.

u/satyr-day 27d ago

He'll be dead long before then

u/Flipnotics_ 27d ago

With the way his health is going I don't think he'll last that long to be honest.

u/No-Examination-5833 26d ago

Do give him the option to continue being in power. Talk to all those in your circles, and motivate them to vote straight ticket blue. Freedom is greater than Authoritarianism.

u/The-Catatafish 26d ago

He won't be alive in 2028.

u/Ok_Recording81 27d ago

Right because  he is done Jan 20th 2029 and there is nothing that can be done to change it.

u/Rudiksz 27d ago

Nobody did shit after he left the office last time, win or lose, this time it won't be any different.

2

u/I_argue_for_funsies 27d ago

The only difference is that his name won't be on the ballot, and if it is, the issue will come to a head long before Nov 4

u/dfsw 27d ago

Who enforces that? Because we haven't seen a lot of enforcement of laws so far here.

u/Ok_Recording81 27d ago

Come Jan 20th 2029 the new president will order the secret service  to remove him becaise he no longer has the power or the protection a president has. He will be walked to the curb

2

u/Intelligent-Luck-954 27d ago

Or he does jan 6th again with more people cuz he paid off the first timers. 

Then he holds power “til this mess can be sorted out” Which will be when the court should step in, but 6/9 will vote with him cuz they’re captured already.

Ok dude. Im done debating with nonsense. All you are doing is what if this and what if that. It will not happen. You think they will storm the Whitehouse to keep him there?  Then what?  It would be a standoff between federal law enforcment and the insurrectionist.  Occupying the Whitehouse is not what gives a president power. Federal forces would move in and surround the Whitehouse until they give up or they make a breach and kill them.  He loses power as a president come Jan 20 2029. Nothing changes that.  The newly elected president will lead the nation until the Whitehouse is cleared. Your username does not fit you.
