On weekends, we hear fireworks occasionally on the weekends. We assume it's for whatever sports game is in season.

But I always check the headlines real quick

[–] asdfasdfasdf@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think a lot of us are waiting for the same headline.

[–] NovaVeles@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

There is someone who works a new stand. Everyday an elderly man walks up to the stand, looks at the news papers and the walks of in disgust.

Eventually the worker stops the old man and asks him "Why do you do that every day?"

The old man says "I am looking for a specific obituary."

The worker says "But the obituaries are in the back on the new paper."

The old man says "Not this one."

[–] mursejoy@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I check headlines everyday for the big win. Everyone at work is planning a huge party for when it happens. If I happen to be off shift that day I’ll be dancing in the streets with everyone else.

They don’t make a beer mug big enough for the celebration that will ensue after he dies.

[–] draeath@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 day ago

I don't think it'll matter if I'm on shift or not...

Donald Trump, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Nancy Pelosi. Chuck Schumer, Vladimir Putin, Rupert Murdoch, Sam Altman. Dario Amodei, Kim Jong Un, Xi Jinping, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Jared Kushner, Kamala Harris, and Russell Vought all die mysteriously seemingly within minutes of each other.

[–] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

You’ve got Kamala Harris on there but not Peter Thiel?

Yeah, ok bud.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think you forgot Netanyahu.

[–] tigermountain@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh yeah. And Gavin Newsome too.

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Stephen Miller too.

[–] rethnor@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why is Kamala Harris lumped in there?

[–] tigermountain@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'll tell you why. If a Democrat wins the presidency in 2028 they will need to be nearly superhuman to address the scale of destruction the Trump administrations have done to this country. She's shown none of those qualities. She was chosen as VP to get the black vote and then put up against Trump out of fear that if they didn't, after Biden finally decided to drop out, that they'd lose the black vote. Democrats are the controlled opposition. Controlled by money and power. They have to break free from that and chart a new course. Kamala Harris isn't even close to being the person who can do that. And she's thinking about running again, and people who don't think will vote for her. That has to be stopped.

[–] rethnor@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

No disagreement, but I wouldn't put her on the same level as Trump, Putin, Altman, and Musk. I wouldn't wish her harm.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago

During Trump's first term, I kept predicting that one day he would go missing, along with one of his helicopters, and turn up in Russia weeks later

"Donald Trump, Disgraced President of the USA, Dead at 81"

I'd rather see him in jail, but this is the next best thing.

[–] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

...twice impeached and convicted of 34 felonies....

[–] BillionaireStew@lemmy.world 123 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'll just say it's an obituary and be confident that I won't need to say more.

[–] rslogix89@lemmy.world 102 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There's an old Soviet joke:

A man goes to a newspaper stand every day, buys a copy of Pravda, glances at the front cover, curses, and throws it away.

After a few weeks of this the seller just has to ask what's going on: "why do you always look at the cover but never inside?" "I'm looking for an obituary." "An obituary? But those are in the back!" "Oh no, the obituary I'm looking for will be on the front page."

[–] NovaVeles@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Turns out I just posted this further up the page with different wording. 🙃

Socialist Revolution in North Korea

That would confuse so many right-winger heads.

[–] Schmoo@startrek.website 2 points 1 day ago

The corporate media would obfuscate the socialist character of the revolution and call it an anti-communist revolution.

"White House confirms independent media reports that President Donald Trump has passed"

Or something like that, because we all know the white house won't go out and say he has passed, other outlets will report it first, then at one point the white house will have to say it.
