I will never understand what drives a person to cling to power like this right up to the bitter end, clearly making an absolute embarrassment of themselves in the process.

I'm not just talking about Pootin either. Moscow Mitch McConnell, Nancy "Insider Trading is my Right" Pelosi, and of course Little Donny himself, among others.

As fucked up as it sounds…

Why not? Death being the final arbiter what the fuck do you care CNN says if you get to rule the world into oblivion? We care cause we have to deal with the outcome but at that age when you personally don’t… I mean fuck us… right?

In 2022, the Kremlin found itself in the position of having to quash gossip that Putin had an accident after falling down a flight of stairs, supposedly losing control of his bowels "involuntarily" due to "cancer affecting his stomach and bowels."

Dafuq?

Well Trump gets away with it so I’m sure nothing will happen.

We call that doing a scomo where I come from.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago

The ol' engadine

One can only hope. Although, what sort of power vacuum that creates remains to be seen.

I don't cheer for cancer often, but I will today.

Yeah, he Romneyed all over after licking the Santorum out the ass of some poor goat.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 23 points 1 week ago

We can hope.

If a piece of shit soils itself, does that count as an out of body experience?

Here's hoping he gets the absolutely agonizing death he deserves.

[–] wetnoodle@sopuli.xyz 64 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hope this will be a recurring incident and he dies falling down shitting his pants

[–] wetnoodle@sopuli.xyz 42 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

trump, elon, etc should also fall down the stairs shitting their pants

trump taking the stairs? and without wearing his diaper?

[–] aphonefriend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 53 points 1 week ago (2 children)

doctors managed to revive the Russian President before rushing him to a specialist intensive care unit

Imagine being the doctor standing over this piece of shit and knowing how many people you could save if you just let him die right there.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 week ago

And imagine being the guy responsible for keeping him alive while failing to do so. You're probably shitting yourself twice over that you and/or your loved ones will be severely punished if that happens.

Just going to post this here, for like.....NO reason.

[–] anindefinitearticle@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

In a scathing remark, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently predicted Putin (or is that Poo-tin) "will die soon, and that's a fact".

He has such a totalitarian grip on the former cold war powers... what will fill the vacuum when he dies?

He doesn't seem like the type to trust anyone enough to groom them into a successor.

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago

Depends on who can control the media and the military. The first few are probably not going to last too long because of the shitastic economy they're going to inherit. Ukraine could get worse if they see it as necessary to prove themselves/distract from the economy or they could pull out so they can consolidate domestics affairs first.

I'm not sure "fears" is the right word.

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago

No wonder he and Trump get along so well.

[–] ArghlBarghlFooFera@feddit.org 44 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That's absolutely a rumor - he was in full control of his bowels and meant to shit himself.

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Physical Enshitification!

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

Special shitting operation.

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 104 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hope he shits himself to death and his end is truly painful

Lot of pure white fabric there. Would be a shame if it got brown......

Oh god. There's already a drink called "green russian". Theres going to be a "brown russian" now too, isn't there?

I am NOT drinking that!

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Brown Russian is just White Russian without the cream, so kahlua with vodka. Both are great.

[–] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 1 week ago (3 children)

You didn't understand. They are performing a dance from The Nutcracker. In Russia they always show The Nutcracker in state tv when they prepare the announcement of something major - like the death of the current president.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

That's like cake in Scrubs.

You're right. I didn't understand that part when I commented. What an odd tradition.

"Hey, the dictator just died. Better show some ballet to soften the blow."

If you're as concerned with information control as the Soviets were/are, it makes a lot of sense.

Comrade leader just shat himself to death, or most of the Navy top leadership just died in a single plane crash, or we just blew a nuclear reactor wide open, and it's time to tell the entire country the bad news.

  • We need some time to come up with and distribute whatever we're going to tell people
  • We can't have some peon at some TV station mention a simple fact that will contradict the official truth
  • We can't allow rumors to spread
  • We can't just shut down the transmitters because people will assume the worst.
  • We probably shouldn't broadcast light entertainment or comedy, that feels tasteless.
  • Propaganda reels often have imagery of armies and violence in them, probably don't want those ideas in people's heads right now.
  • In fact, let's make sure whatever we broadcast is extremely obviously not news. Something like a symphony or opera.
  • We do want to play up the nationalist angle, so let's go with something domestic in origin. So no Mozart or Bach or anything from Western Europe.
  • How about Tchaikovsky? The Nutcracker suite. Runs for about two hours.

Makes perfect sense the first time. Peak Russia is doing that exact same thing often enough for the people to catch on. "Oh shit the Nutcracker's on every station, something terrible happened somewhere."

If I read that this particular dickhead shit himself and died, I'd be dancing too!

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I mean, when you put it like THAT....
