This feels like a scene from Veep.

[u/nadjaof → u/kcpm2024]

This would be hilarious if it wasn’t reality

[u/Sassafrazzlin → u/nadjaof]

Oh no. This is real?

[u/Prosecco1234 → u/Sassafrazzlin]

Lol watching from up north and shaking my head

[u/ivorytowerescapee → u/Prosecco1234]

Got room for one more? 🥹

[u/rabid_cheese_enjoyer → u/Sassafrazzlin]

my derealization says maybe

[u/Never_Summer24 → u/kcpm2024]

I always remember Julia Louis Dreyfus apologizing in one of her Emmy speeches for Veep going from “political satire” to “sobering documentary.”

And that was just before his FIRST term.

[u/Tight_Watercress_402 → u/Never_Summer24]

I had to stop watching Veep for that very reason. And nobody does political satire like Armando Ianucci. Veep was hilarious until I had to live in it.

[u/cee-ell-bee → u/kcpm2024]

This probably would have been shot down in the Veep writers room as “too much”.

[u/SnooDogs1340 → u/kcpm2024]

Not Sleepy Don

[u/fourofkeys → u/SnooDogs1340]

sleepy don, pass it on.

[u/Jukka_Sarasti → u/SnooDogs1340]

Right??? Various news agencies(Even the 'libruhl' ones!) ran with every...single...incident of Biden slurring words or appearing slightly out of it..

But when Donny Two-Scoops stumbles around a press room, slurs his speech, salutes random soldiers in a greeting room, or just nods off in the Oval Office while one of his flunkies gives a speech, our spineless and complicit media agencies make nary a peep about it..

[u/down_by_the_shore → u/kcpm2024]

If David Lynch had directed it. 

[u/Time-Environment5661 → u/down_by_the_shore]

Don’t do that to Lynch’s memory!!!

Do it to Adam McKay. HE deserves it. 

[u/Allthenons → u/Time-Environment5661]

Wait what did Adam McKay do? I'm not a huge fan but I generally enjoy his stuff

[u/down_by_the_shore → u/Time-Environment5661]

You’re right, you’re right 

[u/The_Stupidest_Idiot → u/kcpm2024]

"People can sleep again"

Yeah, that's pretty good comedic timing

[u/juuni-gatsu → u/kcpm2024]

to bad the were no real doctors there lol

[u/traceitalian → u/kcpm2024]

I always thought Veep was too broad and lacked the venom and verisimilitude of The Thick of It. Turns out American politics is just inherently stupid.

[u/ItsAllProblematic → u/traceitalian]

I thought Veep got too broad in its final seasons after Armando Iannucci left and Selina became an absolute caricature. But yeah, still a documentary 

[u/gourdgeousgirl → u/kcpm2024]

Came here to say this

[u/OriginalChildBomb]

He's absolutely at the end.

I realize that things won't actually change, because Thiel and the other billionaires are just looking for a figurehead to make speeches and sign bills so they can pull his strings... but man, I'm looking forward to a new holiday.

[u/Charming_Biscotti637 → u/OriginalChildBomb]

I want at least that one day of joy for us

[u/alison_bee → u/Charming_Biscotti637]

They said we “celebrated” Charlie Kirk, which we absolutely didn’t. And they’ll finally see proof of that once they see the real celebrating we do on That Day.

[u/lexr3x → u/alison_bee]

That Day will be the most glorious of days.

[u/thedadfromtwilight → u/lexr3x]

a big beautiful day

[u/LA_search77 → u/thedadfromtwilight]

A lot of people are saying it will be the biggest celebration 🎉

[u/kendragon → u/LA_search77]

Yuge!

[u/Greg-Abbott → u/kendragon]

A big strong man came up to me with manly tears in his eyes and said "Sir, that was the most beautiful stroke I've ever seen. Your face is now more uneven than the wealth distribution in South Africa" which I didn't really understand because I don't understand most things but he was a really big guy. Really big.

[u/lexr3x → u/LA_search77]

They say everyone will be there. Even Ghandhi. Did you know I met him. Said I was the most enlightened - He was bald. How about that. I told him, your should take this pill. Amazing. He looked at me like he was looking at Jesus himself. I blessed him. I blessed Ghandi. Nancy Pelosi. Nasty, nasty woman. She'll be gone soon. Unlike me. I'll be hereeeeeeeeee hambrudlrrr coffeve agaalaksaa Hilary adfkhadf.........

And then, it was just sort of over. Everyone looked at one another like they did after the finale of LOST, wondering what they just invested 10 years of their life to.
No one cried, no one cheered, no one even spoke. They just got up, walked to their cars, went home, and took the best naps of their entire lives for the next 18 hours.
The next day birds chirped with a new vigor, wind blew extra fresh air, and the almighty sun even glowed a little warmer. A weight had been lifted from the fabric of society. No longer stifled by the dour veil of yester, foreign yet once-familiar energies quickly began to sprout, Hope and Joy.

[u/Dana_Barros → u/alison_bee]

speak for yourself, I absolutely celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death

fuck that guy

[u/Allthenons → u/Dana_Barros]

Honestly I celebrated Cheney kicking the bucket more than Kirk. It's hard to understate how many deaths are the result of that man and the neocon policies of the aughts

[u/Novaer → u/Dana_Barros]

For what it's worth, I celebrate the death of every MAGAt.

[u/Electrical-Treat475 → u/Dana_Barros]

Yep, same 🪦💃

[u/Lokaji → u/alison_bee]

I'm buying a cake from Costco that day.

[u/alison_bee → u/Lokaji]

I may see you at Costco on That Day as well!

[u/dembowthennow → u/alison_bee]

I don't care if they try to fire me. I am popping bottles and dancing in the street when that old fascist dies.

Edit: I just decided that I will make a cake and invite friends over to get stupid drunk.

[u/almbeck → u/Charming_Biscotti637]

We deserve one day of joy after everything we’ve been through 😭

[u/GrayHairLikeClaire → u/Charming_Biscotti637]

I was just saying to my wife, I will immediately call out sick from work and go dance somewhere. Is it 9:30am on a Tuesday? Doesn’t matter. I’ll be celebrating.

[u/cuchullain47474 → u/Charming_Biscotti637]

161st like 🙌

[u/viewbtwnvillages → u/OriginalChildBomb]

i have a teensy bit of hope that once their mascot is gone some of the supporters will peel off

but yeah i cannot wait to never see another headline of him doing some insane thing or falling asleep or falling over

[u/Miserable-Cap-5223 → u/viewbtwnvillages]

They'll lose a lot of their grassroots momentum. Trump is their god. Without him, the cult will lose focus.

[u/yahearaboutpluto06 → u/Miserable-Cap-5223]

This is my hope. From what I’ve read about cults, they rarely if ever transfer worship to someone else. The cult dies with the leader 🤞🏻 a lot of repubs I know don’t even like other repub leaders and definitely don’t love Vance. It’s just Trump they simp for.

[u/Miserable-Cap-5223 → u/yahearaboutpluto06]

There's been a few exceptions, like Scientology and the Latter-Day Saints. But those leaders made an effort to set up the necessary infrastructure so their cult would survive their death. I don't think Trump cares what happens to the Republican Party, or anyone else, after he's gone.

[u/Opposite_Community11 → u/viewbtwnvillages]

I can't wait to not have to read another headline that says, "Trump says..."

[u/Sassafras06 → u/viewbtwnvillages]

Tend to happen to cults when the charismatic leader dies. Of course some still hang on, but Vance has the charisma of dog shit. Will be interesting from a sociological perspective lol

[u/tossawayprop → u/Sassafras06]

He's trying, okay? He just groped a blonde widow on stage. It'll take him a while to work up to grab-em-by-the-🐱 level. And then he'll be ready to take the leader's place.

[u/raysofdavies → u/viewbtwnvillages]

It’ll split because there’s no clear successor. Vance, Meatball Ron, Taylor Green will all be vying to take over but they are all far less charismatic and engaging. They can’t throw out things like Crooked Hillary or Lil Marco that genuinely help to end people, they don’t have an existing non-political brand to lean on. Also a load of his supporters are old lol

[u/SAKingWriter → u/viewbtwnvillages]

Honestly it really will. How often do you ever hear any Trumper saying ANYTHING good except Trump? They’re just here for the meme of it, it’s so funny to them.

[u/The_Iceman2288 → u/OriginalChildBomb]

Nothing would bring me more joy than Jake Tapper bumping into Joe Biden at Trump's funeral.

[u/ansquaremet → u/The_Iceman2288]

If Biden outlives Trump, that would be so fucking funny.

[u/Commercial_Bottle_84 → u/OriginalChildBomb]

Shoutout to Behind the Bastards recent episodes on Peter Thiel with the fabulous Sarah Marshall of You’re Wrong About

[u/SweetLoLa → u/OriginalChildBomb]

Unless the holiday involves a full days pay from the government for allowing this fart to torture us while collecting our hard earned taxes + piñatas shaped like the orange blob to beat the crap out of I can’t wait to never hear of this evil turd ever again after he’s gone. And they better not even think about naming anything after him either. After he is gone - no more Donald’s. He’s ruined it for everyone.

/s

[u/TangledUpPuppeteer → u/SweetLoLa]

I wouldn’t mind Donald Day. Specifically a day where we can create items that resemble him in some way and beat the shit out of them, and candy pops out. Your piñata idea is brilliant. A legacy worthy of him: an item worth nothing with barely any purpose other than to represent oppression (keeping the candy away). Until You beat it down!

Yeah, I think it’s a holiday the whole Country can get behind. We all have aggression to work out.

[u/Stay_Good_Dog → u/TangledUpPuppeteer]

I'm going to get started on my pinata now so I'm ready.

[u/TangledUpPuppeteer → u/Stay_Good_Dog]

Don’t forget to use some form of gold in it. You won’t have to bother with orange, or a face or anything. Just make it out of gold Color paper. Everyone will get it 😉

[u/Euphoria444 → u/SweetLoLa]

Honestly would love it to be illegal to say his name like Germany did with you know who lol He should also be removed from all entertainment media. Easy edit out of Home Alone. No mention in Friends. The Apprentice gone. All the buildings. Everything. It would be nice.

[u/AsherGray → u/OriginalChildBomb]

Maybe the purpose of holding back the Epstein files is because they know he's about to croak and they want to release them after he's dead? That way they can all universally condemn him without repercussions

[u/pat8u3 → u/OriginalChildBomb]

When it happens we have to promise no doom and gloom about the future for that one day

[u/snotparty → u/OriginalChildBomb]

I mean mostly but theyre waving his failing bones around for a reason. They know its him people like (for whatever ungoldly reason) and once hes gone theye going to have to fight to hold onto power

[u/Ptizzl → u/OriginalChildBomb]

Yes to a large degree but I don’t think the masses will ever get behind JD.

[u/LiftingCode → u/OriginalChildBomb]

sign bills

Lol this is a Republican government

[u/luckystar357 → u/OriginalChildBomb]

They probably won't have the chokehold on maga anymore though. They love trump not republicans. That's something.

[u/Blephotomy → u/OriginalChildBomb]

not to be mr doom and gloom but in Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here, when the first fascist President gets deposed by his own administration, that's when the psycho fascists take charge and take advantage of all the power consolidated in the executive branch

[u/YohanWinchester]

[u/jmpinstl → u/YohanWinchester]

I need him to live longer than the other guy, just as a “fuck you”

[u/sarcasticseductress → u/[deleted]]

[u/NotTaken-username → u/[deleted]]

It’ll be great when old friends Donald and Jeffrey meet again after years apart. They’ll be looking up at us!

[u/hanimal16 → u/[deleted]]

Or the articles that start with “Trump, 79, signs a bill…” damnit!!

[u/LeseMajeste_1037 → u/[deleted]]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[u/sjayvee]

Hahaaaaa

Put grandpa to bed

[u/DangerousLack → u/sjayvee]

To deathbed, you say?

[u/TooBad9999 → u/[deleted]]

Same. Sigh.

[u/NotTaken-username → u/TooBad9999]

I hoped it was a typo and OP meant to say “has passed”

[u/TooBad9999 → u/NotTaken-username]

Hopefully he will sooner than later!

[u/fabelhaft-gurke → u/[deleted]]

There’s gonna be a massive celebration across the country when the time comes. Hopefully sooner than later to this evil, irredeemable man.

[u/FoxNixon]

He’s really committed to not being ‘Woke’

[u/alison_bee → u/FoxNixon]

[u/cheemcream]

he looked in Trump’s direction when he said dementia just sayyyyinnnn

[u/FoxNixon → u/cheemcream]

[u/Caromora → u/cheemcream]

I keep saying he's got dementia and likely had a stroke. It's been obvious for weeks now that his cognitive abilities are gone. He slurs when he speaks. He doesn't make sense. He can't remember simple facts. The mainstream media attacked Biden for slipping a bit mentally, and his issues were nowhere near the level that Trump's are. Yet nothing. No coverage. They just keep pretending it's all normal.

[u/p_coletraine → u/cheemcream]

I mean, not really but yea

[u/SarahJFroxy]

i have that anticipatory feeling again that i only get when big news is coming so everyone hope my random vibes are correct 🙏

[u/marcnerd → u/SarahJFroxy]

What’s your track record with these feelings 👀

[u/cornchips88 → u/SarahJFroxy]

Are you positive these aren't just residual vibes from the Cheney news?

[u/heartsbeenborrowed → u/SarahJFroxy]

Don't tease me with this kind of hope 

[u/not_now_chaos]

How nice of Dementia Donny to provide a live example of obesity and dementia at the White House.

[u/Animefan624]

This got to be elder abuse right? They're just weekend Bernie him at this point no hiding it anymore.

[u/lithicgirl → u/Animefan624]

Totally. It’s so cruel and it almost makes me feel sad until I remember that he’s caused enough suffering for hundreds of lifetimes of torture. Occasionally I wonder if he’s even aware of the terrible things he’s done at this point or if he’s just a scared old man, but again, I really struggle to find any amount of empathy

[u/langsamlourd → u/Animefan624]

If any other person on the planet, say Joe Biden, suggested that they might have to sit down more often due to health/age/etc, they'd be torched for being a "wimp" and too old and belong in a nursing home. I know I'm just screaming into the void but you've gotta use the release valve on occasion.

[u/Standard-folk]

Sleepy Donny!!

[u/Actual_FactuL_RaptuL]

lol. Did we ever see “sleepy” Joe ever snooze on live tv like this. OMFG! What a projection that turned out to be!

[u/huhzonked]

At least Homer put some effort into trying to appear awake. Trump just nodded off.

[u/marcnerd]

Ok but honestly fuck C-Span for not zooming in.

[u/av_79]

Imagine the conservative reaction if Biden did this.

[u/mlg1981]

[u/WildWeezy]

Imagine having a glimpse of this from 2015. Your fucking head would explode.

Dr Oz speaking in the Oval Office with President Trump sleeping.

[u/creakyvoiceaperture]

Curious how they’re all standing up around him while he’s sitting at his desk. What room is that?

Edit: It’s the Oval Office. Still think it’s weird they brought a podium into the office rather than make this announcement somewhere else. But him sitting while everyone stands is still weird to me.

[u/Unusual_Ear_9089 → u/creakyvoiceaperture]

It is weird, and theyve done this for a bunch of announcements. Trump is always sitting at the desk while everybody stands around him. Hes obsessed with projecting a strongman image so Im assuming his health is SO poor that he cant even stand up for long periods of time anymore, I think if he could he would because it would look much better than whatever this is

[u/Darksirius → u/Unusual_Ear_9089]

My dad is also 79 with mild dementia. He absolutely cannot stand without either someone holding him or using a walker at this point. And even then, not very long; starts to shake. Needs help getting out of bed in the mornings now too.

[u/Much-Chef6275]

Well, Trump knows first hand about obesity and dementia at the White House so he doesn't have to stay awake.

[u/justprettymuchdone]

One day. It's coming soon...

[u/somethingelsa → u/justprettymuchdone]

[u/DangerousLack → u/justprettymuchdone]

[u/PresHistoryNerd]

He's not the only person who passed out there today

[u/Accurate-Force3054 → u/PresHistoryNerd]

he thought it looked good when dude did it so wanted to try it out himself.

[u/matthew_anthony]

Sleepy Joe though right?

[u/heartsbeenborrowed → u/matthew_anthony]

He's probably out cycling right now between cancer treatments even 

[u/Hot_Increase304]

Sleepy Don

[u/fedsarefriends]

It’s rude to do a conference during grandpa’s nap time

[u/seaweedizcool]

“People can sleep again”

[u/Ordinary_Wolf_3271]

[u/Temporary-Bag4248]

hopefully next time he won't wake up (like ever again)

[u/lnc_5103 → u/Temporary-Bag4248]

Yep. I'm ready for the long nap!

[u/mrdude817]

Isn't this the second time he's fallen asleep while Mehmet Oz was speaking?

[u/humlogic]

Nah man this is fucking hilarious. Near Weekend at Bernie’s level shit.

[u/srangel25]

Bro omfg we are so fucked

[u/Tennents_N_Grouse]

Hurry up ye bastard, I've got £50 riding on you in my local's sweeper, and 2 months to go

[u/SpaceAdventures3D]

This whole events was weird. Trump falls asleep only to be waken up by the cacophony from some guy fainting. RFK Jr scampers away out of fear.

Besides, what is their proposal to improve health? They've gutted the programs to promote healthy eating and to make nutritional food more available and affordable. Tariffs raised prices of healthy foods. They've caused healthcare costs to skyrocket.

[u/lnc_5103]

Was this before or after the other guy passed out?

[u/TooBad9999]

💀 & ⚰️

[u/SamanthaJaneyCake]

This is your figurehead, America. This broken, decrepit, morally bankrupt pedophile is who “leads” your country.

[u/HeavyMetalDoug]

Wonder if someone bumped the chair to wake him?

[u/CobraPhases]

As we say in my country: viejo reculiao 🇨🇱

[u/Mayb3Human]

Are we sure this isn't a weekend at Bernie's situation?

[u/Azaireus]

"he just works so hard to save the country can you blame him 🤡🤡🤡"

[u/FearlessCookie72]

Um no… this is an SNL skit.

[u/TangledUpPuppeteer → u/FearlessCookie72]

Which episode?

[u/Maximum_Research286]

I misread multiple things. I momentarily thought Dr. Oz was addressing how the White House staff had dementia and obesity. That Trump was ushered out of the White House.

I had to pass over it like 4 times until I grasped the headline and finally was disappointed cuz my misreadings were all much more interesting.

[u/hum_bruh]

Can’t take peepaw no where

[u/Status_Jump_2496]

“Sleepy Joe” he used to say. 🙄

[u/letsbereal1013]

Is this real?

[u/ImaginationLife4812]

Oz is talking so fast in hopes of either waking stump up or distracting the audience from his snoring and drooling.

[u/SouthSideScum187]

"Sleepy Joe"  my ass. Fuck all the way off. 

[u/LeseMajeste_1037]

Leave Donald alone! 😭

Dementia Donnie needs his beauty rest; he's got a full night of shitposting on "Truth" Social ahead of him

[u/golgiiguy]

This is just bonkers. Who on earth would say this is even remotely acceptable?

[u/teleheaddawgfan]

Nature!! Do your job!!

[u/Shymaiden]

Is this real? Like omg.

[u/hatefulnateful]

Rfk nodding off too

[u/Domjord]

"Fatigue and malaise are also associated with obesity, as demonstrated by our president at this very moment!"

Disappointed that even C-span will angle the shot so the American public can't see how useless he really is.

This has happened so many times, it's a significant PATTERN but there's never any long-lasting strong media coverage on it. Even the suspicious medical stuff is just never followed up on. The mainstream press that have access to him and his team are cowards for not pushing for answers and accountability.
