Just think, Trump will get full presidential honors when he finally (ugh) leaves for his next plane of existence. Lying in State at the Capital, Horse drawn solemn parade or buried in Arlington? They will have to post permanent security guards at the grave site with ammonium detectors...who will attend the service, Maggots only? Just thinking out loud...

4. I would think if he's convicted of espionage he doesn't deserve state honors

[hlthe2b]

5. Now that we know the location of his "Presidential Library"...

What is the protocol when a former president dies?
Former presidents may lie in repose in their home or adopted state, usually at their presidential library, before traveling to Washington, D.C., when thereafter, lying in state in the United States Capitol Rotunda will occur.

I guess we can presume he'll lie in state in the basement bathroom of Mara Lago.

11. I thought his presidential library

Was going to be the book cart in his prison

[JHB]

8. "That is one big fountain of piss."

[anciano]

10. It is my understanding that lying in state at the Capitol

is not a given for anyone, it requires approval from both chambers of Congress.

[SledDriver]

12. "Going to the Don" will replace "going to the John" in the vernacular

[Buns_of_Fire]

19. "I gotta take a trump," he said. nt

[SledDriver]

20. "Taking a Trump"

13. Twa Corbies (Two Crows) explain how it should go:

As I was walkin’ all alane
I heard twa corbies makin’ mane
The ‘tain unto the tither say, o
“Where shall we gang and dine the day, o
Where shall we gang and dine the day?”

“In ahint yon auld fell dyke
I wot there lies a new-slain knight
Naebody kens that he lies there, o
But his hawk and hound and his lady fair, o
His hawk and hound and his lady fair”

“His hound is tae the hunting gane
His hawk tae fetch the wild fowl hame
His lady’s ta’en anither mate, o
So we can hae oor dinner sweet, o
We can hae oor dinner sweet”

“Ye’ll sit on his white hoose-bane
And I’ll pick oot his bonny blue e’en
Wi’ mony a lock o’ his golden hair, o
We’ll theek oor nest when it grows bare, o
Theek oor nest when it grows bare”

“There’s many-a-name for him maks mane
But nane shall ken whaur he has gane
O’er his white banes when they are bare, o
The wind shall blaw forever mair, o
Wind shall blaw forever mair”

This very old Scottish ballad is dialect heavy but can be made out.

[Ilsa]

27. "makin' mane"? Is that like chewing the fat or

gossiping? I wonder from what it derives?

Wasn't real clear but it might refer to pity or gall.

[Donkees]

32. mane (moan)

14. A lovely procession with him in a dumpster,

heading to a landfill in some Red state.

15. He can't be buried at Arlington, as that's only for veterans...

But, unless we wake up, there’s a real possibility that he’ll be buried in a massive classical marble mausoleum on the highest point of Washington D.C., much like the Victor Emmanuel monument in Rome, constructed by Mussolini to honor the ruler who put him in power.

[hlthe2b]

26. Nonmilitary Presidents can be buried at Arlington per a 1998 bill since the amendment was not passed

Tammy Duckworth introduced legislation to amend and require ONLY military veterans with no exceptions to be buried in Arlington in 2019-2020 116th Congress. It has not been acted on as far as I can tell.

S.3935 - A bill to amend title 10, United States Code, to prohibit the burial in Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, of any President or Vice President who is not a member or veteran of the Armed Forces.

16. It depends on the definition of lying

Lying: not being truthful
Lying: to lie down

It will look like a carnival side show with an ungodly number of flag-draped clowns and all the props they lug around with them wherever they go.

18. A priest will sprinkle holy water on him...

28. It's OK if I don't give a fuck, isn't it?

I intend on being part of the coast-to-coast street dancing festivities during trump's last rites. Hope that lots of you opt for the same merriment.
