The day after the midterms would be awesome. Maybe right in the middle of an on-camera rant about the GOP getting istorically wiped out in the midterms.

in an approximation of Jefferson and Adams communicating from their death beds, to reach the same double result?

The BEST thing he could ever do for the country, also the least he could do.

Not today, of all days. I do not want him besmirching our national birthday, or mentioned in the same breath as the other three. I do not want his KKKult further exalting him as some sort of demigod, taking it as a "sign from heaven" of his "greatness," making him a "martyr" (for lack of a better word. We don't need that sh*t!

(I kinda think it would be best if he died on Feb. 29th, which only comes every four years........)

Now if somehow something happened to you know who today and it took I don’t know, maybe a few days or weeks (or even a few months is fine I guess) before succumbing to excruciating and debilitating pain and illlness, that’s much more preferable.

but he consumed a shit ton of cherries and iced milk on that day, soon got sick, and died five days later.

We won't be as lucky with Trump.

Jefferson and Adams died the same day, July 4, 1826, fifty years after the Declaration of Independence. In other words, they died 200 years ago today.
