Doug1066 Posted September 19 #1 Share Posted September 19 Just as an exercise: try writing an obituary for Donald Trump. Imagine that he has passed away and that you are assigned the task of summarizing his life. Did he die of too many cheeseburgers? Was he assassinated? Did somebody throw him under a bus? What did he accomplish? What were his failings? Was he as bad as portrayed? Was he worse? What would you want on his tombstone? What would you want on YOUR tombstone?

lightly Posted September 19 #4 Share Posted September 19 (edited) Today we celebrate the passing of the greatest man in the history of the world, and yet ,tragically, he was the only one who knew it. The Greatest. Not just The greatest…the greatest Ever. Really really really great. He was the greatest president in the history of his nation..the greatest ruler on earth , Ever. There has never been ,nor will there ever be, another man as great as him. And now that he’s gone ..and we should all be greatfull. RIP Donald J.

Doug1066 Posted September 19 Author #5 Share Posted September 19 (edited) Writing an obituary is a common assignment for cub reporters. Nothing ghoulish about it: it's just the newspaper business. There have been a few people who wrote their own obituaries. And a few who have written their own epitaph. "Death smiles at us all and all we can do is smile back."

More poor taste than actively calling for an insurrection? Than actively choosing firearms over children's lives? Lighten up Nancy, you're guilty of far worse. I can only guess what you've said about Trudeau online. Edited September 20 by Hankenhunter 3 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug is the same who has, at least twice I recall, written and fantasized about Trump's assassination and even tried to have a discussion how it would have to be done in order to look like an accident. It's a recurring theme. This guy is sick. 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a recurring theme. This guy is sick. I seem to recall something similar. How many American service men have died defending democracy? Donald Trump has attacked and continues to attack democracy, even saying that if he is elected in 2024 he will do away with many of the institutions that keep us free. He has defined himself as the enemy. All I am suggesting is that we declare one more very brief war in defense of democracy. Doug 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've never worked for a newspaper. Writing obits is routine. Sometimes before the person has actually died. Doug 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonman Posted September 20 #19 Share Posted September 20 (edited) Of COURSE the cultists are offended by any suggestion that their glorious supreme leader could be a mere mortal. Now, if this was a thread about an obit for Biden, do you think the same "offended" people would still be "offended"? They would jump in on that exercise with glee.

Doug No point, the "outrage" precedent has already been set. If they played along in that thread while being "offended" by this one, they would expose themselves as huge hypocrites, and we know THAT NEVER EVER HAPPENS. I just realized I didn't do the obit. Mine would be short and sweet. *mugshot* "Can you believe this ****ing guy died? Yep." *rest of page filled with grocery coupons* My Biden one would probably be similar, but the coupons would be better.
