u/Dearic75 Mar 06 '25

u/FreneticPlatypus Mar 06 '25

Icky tummies. The whole lot of them.

u/sjbennett85 Mar 06 '25

Think bigger... I'd say ecoli

u/lithenewt Mar 06 '25

And then get painful cancer again, and so on. Think Sisyphus.

7

u/jardex22 Mar 06 '25

Then they start personifying the cancer and talk to it.

2

u/halikadito New Mexico Mar 06 '25

Then they start thinking "Hey, this cancer isn't so bad, actually." and before you know it, it's "Tumor 2028!"

u/kooeurib Mar 06 '25

Sysiphus with syphilis

u/skyblueerik Mar 06 '25

And then have massive diarrhea every day for the rest of their miserable lives.

u/dfwr Mar 07 '25

Painful ass cancer

Why not? They’ve already got the Sword of Damocles.

I got a Reddit warning for UPVOTING content they deemed in violation. Feels so good to have free speech back in America!

4

u/lithenewt Mar 06 '25

Oh I just love reddit's TOS. /s

u/jardex22 Mar 06 '25

I got 7 days of silence for suggesting what happens when the first 3 boxes of freedom fail.

u/TinFoilBeanieTech Mar 06 '25

If they get cancer they can just buy vitamin supplements from RFK Jr.

2

u/GetOffMyLawn_ New Jersey Mar 06 '25

They'll probably get the next pandemic. FDA cancelled the annual flu meeting, the one where they pick the strains to make for the fall vaccines.

u/Retaining-Wall Canada Mar 06 '25

Meatus cancer.

u/RobotCaptainEngage Mar 06 '25

What a horrible thing to wish.

Cancer doesn't deserve to have Elon.

1

u/Drakar_och_demoner Mar 06 '25

The worst kind of ass cancer.

1

u/intendeddebauchery Mar 06 '25

Id feel worse for the cancer

u/HapticSloughton Mar 06 '25

I don't know if cancer in children affects those who behave like children, but we can hope.

u/lizard81288 Mar 06 '25

Pretty crazy how they had a child that had cancer, become a police officer during the Trump's speech, in which they gutted Cancer research this year.

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '25

The chainsaw wielding maniac who just wants to have “fun” while destroying millions of lives and letting millions more suffer and die does not want credit for his good work?

122

u/metarx Mar 06 '25

Dudes been running around "owning it" for weeks.. if only we had a news media that would continue to hold his ass to it and not just lap up the new bullshit

6

u/Summer_Moon2 Mar 06 '25

How do we start our own news media?

2

u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad Mar 06 '25

How to build large, profitable, employee owned businesses without shareholders and VC vultures?

u/padredodger Mar 06 '25

Deport his ass.

100

u/Riffage Mar 06 '25

Strip him of his assets first.

u/Killerrrrrabbit Mar 06 '25

And donate them to Ukraine.

13

u/meukbox Mar 06 '25

Send him to the front with his chainsaw.

u/calvin43 Mar 07 '25

You mean hairspray flamethrower.

u/[deleted] 29d ago

Elon has so much money he could give every single human being on the planet a million dollars and there’d still be money left over.

u/reading_rockhound 29d ago

I’ll happily take $43 if he gives everyone else $43, too

u/[deleted] 29d ago

I believe you are vastly missing the point. So how about a different perspective. Elon Musk has enough money to end world hunger, solve homelessness issues across the world and provide vaccines to preventable illnesses to everyone which would in turn eradicate most diseases that are preventable with vaccination and he’d still have enough money to buy another superyacht he’s never going to be on and build another sister wives compound for all the handmaids he’s chosen as IVF surrogates and children that he’s never going to actually parent.

People shame drug addicts but the worst addiction out there is money and it’s the most accepted one there is.

u/Bruhimonlyeleven Mar 06 '25

But not to Canada

u/ShrimpieAC Mar 06 '25

They are all such disingenuous pieces of shit. I’m so fucking tired of it.

26

u/Mutex70 Mar 06 '25

The leopards are eating each others faces.

6

u/ObviousAnswerGuy Mar 06 '25

that's fine, but we are still the ones who suffer

2

u/Mutex70 Mar 06 '25

I am truly, but somewhat sadly, ok with that. (I am Canadian, wait sorry, that should be I am Canadian).

It appears American voters need to learn that their votes have actual consequences. Perhaps this will be the lesson that teaches them.

5

u/ObviousAnswerGuy Mar 06 '25

I didn't vote for Trump. Neither did over half the people in this country.

And nothing will teach them. They have 24/7 propaganda media that will either blame other people, or distract them with non-existent threats like immigrants and trans people

2

u/Mutex70 Mar 06 '25

In that case, you may want to consider moving.

I hear Canada is nice 😀🍁

u/Dipluz Norway Mar 06 '25

Oh they will, wait for the fallout of these different groups who all went all-in on Trump, when they inevitable start turning on each other.

8

u/swordrat720 Mar 06 '25

“Why ain’t I getting my social security check? Why did my ACA get canceled? Why ain’t I getting my Mail?”

4

u/Dipluz Norway Mar 06 '25

That too, and why did I loose my job? Trumps tariffs alone will cause millions their jobs

2

u/swordrat720 Mar 06 '25

My company is already looking to domestic suppliers, and it’s not looking good. They’re trying not to layoff people, but just the price increase to our customers is looking dicey.

1

u/atom1129 Mar 06 '25

They will see it as a good thing, so much competition for few positions will drive wages down

8

u/GSV_CARGO_CULT Mar 06 '25

Maybe they will, but conservatives in general tend to fall in line behind dear leader, rather than rebel. It's weird because they're obsessed with the rebel flag and being a rebel and oh we need guns to stop tyranny, but they're the biggest fucking boot lickers on the planet.

5

u/craniumcanyon Mar 06 '25

When I see conservatives all giddy for Trump I just think the only thought bubble in their head is: "tax cuts, tax cuts".

3

u/broguequery Mar 06 '25

They are obsessed with hierarchy.

As sad as it is, they need someone's boots to lick to feel good about themselves.

It's kind of like how during the southern betrayal, most of the people fighting for the south couldn't afford slaves to begin with.

But they weren't above fighting and dying to preserve slavery for the wealthy plantation owners.

6

u/Ninevehenian Mar 06 '25

They will need to be dismantled. have their wealth ripped away.

11

u/CommieLoser Mar 06 '25

And double fuck the 10 Democrats who voted to censure Rep. Al Green.

2

u/pandershrek Washington Mar 07 '25

Washington hates the ones who was from our state so we're already well under way to try to undo her.

Humorously enough she's seen as a communist baby killer from her local constituents. 🥲

u/MakeupD0ll2029 Mar 06 '25

Be careful up voters, they will send you warnings and eventually ban you for upvoting too many “violent” posts. Lol. SMH. Now I’m scared to upvote.

2

u/craniumcanyon Mar 06 '25

Then, I'll upvote you!

3

u/undercover_s4rdine Mar 06 '25

I hope the chainsaw he wielded on stage becomes sentient and barely “misses his ear”

3

u/sirhackenslash Mar 06 '25

I hope it misses his left ear by about six inches to his right

3

u/CaptainMagnets Mar 06 '25

They will after they eat everything else first

3

u/Inside-Discount-939 Mar 06 '25

I expected that the villains would have internal strife sooner or later.

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '25

According to Grindr during that one convention, they definitely do in one way or another.

2

u/clydefrog013 Mar 06 '25

Too many other hungry people, let them eat the republicans.

2

u/ppSmok Mar 06 '25

I hope they all fall gaping asshole first on a cactus.

2

u/Sea-Sir2754 Mar 06 '25

This was supposed to be the year they all ate each other. There was seemingly no post-MAGA world for them. Everything they do sucks, is unpopular, and hurts people. The slightly reasonable ones were supposed to claw back the pre-MAGA Republican era and let the crazies form an independent party.

Instead, they fell in line and we got fascism.

1

u/craniumcanyon Mar 07 '25

My parents still think Kamala would have been worse. They are still cheering on Trump and Musk.

1

u/Sea-Sir2754 Mar 07 '25

Democrats gotta do something about their marketing. From every objective measure, they are better at governing, yet people still think they are the boogeyman.

2

u/Puzzled-Winner-6890 Mar 07 '25

I mean, the historical precedent would be for Duh Fuhrer to have him vanished.

2

u/absolutmenk 29d ago

Let’s go!! I am here for the leopard party!!

2

u/haustuer 29d ago

Or “fuck around find out”

2

u/DingerSinger2016 29d ago

Be careful upvoting this. Reddit is implementing a new feature where they can track your upvotes that "glorify violence" within a certain time period

1

u/lakewood2020 Mar 06 '25

I’d like to eat Elon, he looks like he tastes like veal

1

u/pressedbread Mar 06 '25

He's profiting via his businesses having preference for government contracts, and then canning the oversight of his businesses. What is his "salary" here? Its our tax money in the Billions to an unelected CEO's companies via sweetheart deals. There are so many laws broken here... Besides firing Elon, Donald should be impeached over this.

u/Mediocre-Iron-7991 24d ago

Why, that seems illogical to hope for cannabilism

u/DreamingAboutSpace 23d ago

They are. And it's delightful.

u/LivingVeterinarian47 Mar 06 '25

We need to begin work on the Project 2029 playbook made by THE PEOPLE, and a class-act President that will enforce it. It's the only real way we can drain the swamp.
