That is really damn hot and not what I would characterize as "much cooler". The forecasted high for the day is 101.

Political cartoons do not have to be factually accurate because they are legally protected forms of opinion, satire, and rhetorical hyperbole. They use intentional exaggeration, distortion, and metaphor rather than literal truth to deliver a critique.

This is how he's gotten through his long-winded/no substance bloviations before, but maybe - just maybe, they'll give him one too many and he'll keel over from the combination of heat stroke and od'ing.

I don't want him to die on the Fourth, besmirching our national birthday with his passing. His cult will use it to turn him into a "martyr," for lack of a better word. They'll see it as a sign from heaven of his "greatness," and make him into a demigod. I don't want them to have that, so no, I don't want him to die on the Fourth.

I'll take the Fifth, however.....!

27. The martyr thing is a real concern

He's in poor health and might die before his reputation is sufficiently ruiined. We only turn this thing around if Republicans turn against him. That doesn't happen if he is made saint.

There is the remote possiblility that once he can't threatened people's careers (because he is dead) or rally MAGA's to make death threats, that Republicans will come out of the woodwork to oppose his takover of democracy. But I wouldn't count on it.

It's stunning how early in Hitler's reign his generals were trying to murder him. There really was no other way to oppose Hitler. We still have freedom of the press and maybe a democracy (the midterms will tell) but Republicans in office pretty much aren't free to oppose Trump without losing their jobs, and having their lives and families threatened.

Had early Hitler assassination attempts succeeded, it might have save millions of lives. Or he might have been made a martyr.
