1. The Kremlin is so hard to book

But I think he’s earned it. Putin will arrange it.

[brush]

6. Very good. Wish I'd thought of it and added it to the poll.

[JohnSJ]

2. He should be buried in Lindsey Graham's front yard

[elleng]

3. Sure, State of Disrepair

[303squadron]

4. Lying in state you say?

Lying in every state he's been in.

[brush]

8. Excellent. I see what you did there.

[kelly1mm]

5. Do all ex President lay in state? (did President Nixon?) If so then yes, he should as he held the

office of President.

[A HERETIC I AM]

21. No, Nixon did not, but the Wikipedia page on this says it was by his own wishes.

Nixon's state funeral is unique among recent presidential state funerals in that, in accordance with his own wishes, none of the elements of the state ceremonies occurred in the nation's capital.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_and_state_funeral_of_Richard_Nixon

But there should not be anything resembling a State Funeral for anyone twice impeached, much less a god damned criminal like Trumpy.

Fuck that asshole sideways to the 7th level of hell.

[kelly1mm]

29. President Clinton was impeached. Should he lay in state? If the option of laying in state is up ex

presidents then if President Trump wants to lay in state he should as the honor goes to the office, not the office holder.

[A HERETIC I AM]

40. A body lays in state, not a symbol.

My opinion means nothing in the end, but if I have any say at all, his chances of laying in state at the US Capital should be exactly as high as an Aircraft Carrier being named after him.

Meaning:

None. Diddly. Squat. Zilch. Nada. Bugger all.

There will NEVER be a U.S.S. Donald Trumpy, of that I can assure you, just as there will never be a USS Nixon.

And they shouldn't allow his stinking corpse to foul the same rotunda where at his own direction, his followers swarmed and tried to overturn an election.

[kelly1mm]

59. Again my position is that if all former presidents have the option of lying in state then

president Trump should have that option as well. We may not like President Regan but he got to lay in state. President Clinton was impeached and he will presumably have the option to lay in state. Under what basis other than 'I don't like him' should President Trump be barred?

[A HERETIC I AM]

60. "Under what basis other than 'I don't like him' should President Trump be barred?"

How about the fact that he's a fucking criminal?

Look, I get your point. It's an honor given to dead presidents and other celebrated figures and you think EVERY president deserves it.

I disagree. No president twice impeached and disgraced should be given the honor. We shall see if the estate of Bill Clinton insists he lie in state in the rotunda, but any perceived crimes Clinton committed pale in comparison to what Trumpy has done and will continue to do.

As far as your point about Clinton goes, his impeachment boiled down to him lying about an extramarital affair and had nothing to do with him trying to coerce a foreign government for his own benefit, nor did he foment a coup d'etat. Clinton's impeachment was brought on because the Republicans (read :Newt Gingrich) were still so terribly butthurt about Nixon being forced out of office and losing Robert Bork's SCOTUS seat (fact) that they felt they had to get back at the Democrats in some way. It's apples and oranges.

[kelly1mm]

62. As of now he is not a (convicted) criminal. I do not think that every ex President deserves it BUT

i do think that if the rule is that every ex President has the option of electing to lay in state than both President Clinton and President Trump have that option.

I just did some research and found this:

:No law, written rule, or regulation specifies who may lie in state; use of the U.S. Capitol Rotunda is controlled by concurrent action of the House and Senate. Any person who has rendered distinguished service to the nation may lie in state if the family so wishes and Congress approves."

7. Only if the Capitol is open to the public and kegs of beer are placed around

Also a DJ, and an open bar. Maybe even a band.

[brush]

10. Good. Good. DUers come up with some good stuff.

[erronis]

12. And the casket is a convenient pissoir.

Sorry to have the Capitol maintenance crew clean up after all the golden streams.

[brush]

14. Yes, yes. I like.

[Walleye]

22. Excellent, symbolic and considerate

[treestar]

9. He didn't respect any traditions, so this one should not be extended

to him.

[Deuxcents]

16. ✅

[tulipsandroses]

11. I asked this question a while ago, best answer I got

He will lie in a State Fair and they will charge money for MAGATS to see him. 💰.
I think he would appreciate that more than a bunch of politicians pretending they are sorry he’s gone

[erronis]

15. Maybe his corpulence could be a State Fair science project - guess how many maggots

are feasting off his bloated body.

Guessing all those fair-weather magats will forget they even knew tfg.

[vlyons]

13. It really doesn't matter

Trump won't mind either way. Would be very ironic if his casket was in the Capitol rotunda. even more ironic if the only people paying respects wore camo and bullet-proof vests, red MAGA hats.

I don't really care what happens to his corpse. Any significance seen in his lying in state at the capitol exists only in the minds of those labeling the event with their own subjectivity.

[Throck]

17. He's lying when he's alive.

[cbabe]

18. Osama bin Laden burial at sea

https://special-ops.org › osama-bin-laden-burial-at-sea-and-photos

Why photos of Osama bin Laden's corpse are still secret?

Osama bin Laden's body was buried at sea soon after his death for a number of reasons. There are suggestions that no country was willing to take his remains, that the US wanted to ensure that his burial place wouldn't become a shrine for his followers and that they wanted it done as soon as possible.

[Ocelot II]

19. I don't care if he gets a state funeral; in fact, if he does, AFAIC it would be a celebration

that he's fucking dead.

I think all presidents are entitled to a state funeral and all the ceremonies that go with it, but it's "largely determined by a president and their family, usually before the occupation of the office." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_funerals_in_the_United_States If they use the National Cathedral they'll have to have the place reconsecrated, if God doesn't smite the casket on its way in. I sort of expect they'll book a megachurch or a big sports stadium so he'll have a bigger funeral than any previous president.

[a kennedy]

20. Ha ha ha, was so happy to see the choice, "hell no" 🤣 😂 🤣

[Meadowoak]

23. Trump's funeral should be held in a large convention center

I would pay big bucks just to see him dead. I'm sure millions of people would too.

[BigmanPigman]

24. And bury him next to Ivana at his golf course.

27. I was thinking maybe a landfill would be appropriate.

[brush]

32. Now you're talking.

[Meadowoak]

35. A landfill next to a sewerage treatment plant would be perfect.

[IcyPeas]

47. Interesting typo.

[BigmanPigman]

55. She really is buried there...

His ex wife Ivana, not daughter Ivanka. However, he probably lusts after Ivanka like a husband would.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jul/31/donald-ivana-trump-cemetery-golf-course-taxes

[IcyPeas]

56. You typed "gold" course

Gold

It's a great slip considering trump

[BigmanPigman]

58. Ha!

I didn't notice that. I got a. Ew tablet and I have to rewrite everything three times es or it looks like this which is uncorrected by me manually. It's VERY frustrating and time consuming.

[genxlib]

25. I say yes with a deadline

If he is willing to take us up on the offer sometime in the next month then I am all for it.

[brush]

38. I'm in on the deadline.

[Marcus IM]

26. Under some McDees golden arches would be appropriate. n/t

[brush]

30. Ok, but definitely no "Sweeny Todd" type of stuff please.

[Sky Jewels]

34. Trump Burger could make a genuine Trump burger, if you know what I mean ...

https://www.trumpburgerusa.com/

[brush]

36. You know I saw that couple of days ago. Who would even patronize that place?

[Sky Jewels]

49. I'd better not answer that honestly ...

[FakeNoose]

28. He should lie in state on a golf course somewhere

[Victor_c3]

31. What happened when Nixon died?

I was young at the time and I don’t remember that big of a formal funeral.

[A HERETIC I AM]

61. His funeral took place at his library in Yorba Linda.

Nixon did not lie in state at the US Capitol.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_and_state_funeral_of_Richard_Nixon

[Sky Jewels]

33. No. Give him a burial at sea. Stuff him into a wood chipper on a boat and shoot him into the ocean.

He might as well do ONE good thing in his life (well, death) by feeding hungry sea creatures.

[tishaLA]

37. He'll probably instruct against it

We all know how controversial it would be anyhow, but he probably thinks not doing it would be a big middle finger to the establishment.

[dweller]

39. Fuk do I care ...

I’m going to be partying for an extended period of time … not gonna worry about his bloated corpse pomp and circumstance

It will be like …




✌🏻

[Samrob]

41. Lie in state at the very place his supporters plundered and tried to overthrow our government?

Hell no!

[kacekwl]

42. Yes, if we all can go thru

his pockets, urinate on him and smear feces on him. I'm 1st in line.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

43. Nixon didn't

I doubt Trump will either. He'll probably leave some Truth Social message with his last wishes about the Rotunda being a shithole...

[brush]

46. God, your post made me laugh as that would be so like that a-hole.

[Arazi]

44. There will be legitimate security concerns that his cult will riot in there

I doubt the Capital police would allow a large group of Trump’s supporters back inside. No way will the Secret Service allow their charges to be exposed to that much potential risk as well since those funerals are usually attended by past and present presidents and the chain of command.

He SHOULD have a state funeral as an ex-President but I can see it being very truncated to a select few and without allowing in any mobs

[SCantiGOP]

45. Put Giuliani in charge of it

and he can lie in state at the Four Seasons (Lawn Care parking lot).

[brush]

48. That's not a bad idea as we know Rudy would fu_k it up.

[GP6971]

50. He should be stripped

of benefits and traditions.

[Pobeka]

51. I was looking for the "Fed to wild dogs" option.

I guess that would be animal abuse though.

[brush]

52. Hahahahahahaha. Yes, that wouldn't be good for the animals.

[Mr.Bill]

53. Won't matter to me.

I'll be too drunk on champaign to notice.

[brush]

57. You won't be the only one.

[Dawson Leery]

54. He should be laid to rest with OBL for what he has done.

[Higherarky]

63. Whatever ...

and the sooner, the better!!!

⚰️🚽

[lpbk2713]

64. Stuff him in a trash bag.

And leave him at the curb at Mar-a-Loogie.

[brush]

67. That would be ok by me is the town allows it.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

65. only if Lindsey, little marco, Ted's fat wife and Ted cancun cruz carry the casket !!

Cause if that happened I would be laughing so hard I would wet my pants.

[LudwigPastorius]

66. He should lie in state, only...

so that those interested may poke the body with a stick to make sure he's really dead.



As for me, I won't believe Trump is dead until...
