    For me I will happily celebrate when Putin, Trump and Bolsonario all die

    They were all terrible or have been terrible leaders. You might ssh why should I care if dies not effect me what they do but it does. Putins war in Ukraine has effected as all.

    Trump's measures made the world a worse place and especially America for minority groups and Community's who I am a part off. Bolsonanios disregard for the Amazon effects us all.

    So yes these three leaders or former leaders die I will happily celebrate them doing so.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    The Queen,


    just for the absurdity of the press in England have about her,I don't remember all this fanned union-jackism when I young.


    That thing where they had people waving at a hologram of her this summer,would be regarded as absurd for north korea

    I was quite happhappy when thatcher kicked her clogs.

    None: as the loss of any life, no matter who, is not a cause for celebration.

    I doubt Putin thinks like that. He seems to have no problem killing people and sending other people to go die for him and his stupid war.

    So I disagree with you. The sooner that evil deranged bastard dies the better for us all and I will gladly celebrate it.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I was jumping up and down like a loon when Nixon and Reagan died. In fact the day Reagan died I bought a large bottle of whiskey for when Kissinger eventually kicks it, even though I don’t drink. I will pour it into the Earth as a small tribute to the many lives those three have cost.

    Absolute bollocks.

    I had a little celebration when Thatcher died, and I'd do it again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,608 ✭✭✭✭elperello


    Am I the only one reading the OP as "is there any current or past World leader that you have or will celebrate when they die".

    I have celebrated several past World leaders on their passing and have in mind a few current ones that I will raise a glass to on their demise.

    While I wouldn't celebrate due to it being distasteful, if Donald Trump died before undertaking a second term in office it would be of huge benefit to the world. Not a cause for celebration but certainly a sigh of relief.

    Thatcher died when she was in no fit state to do anything to anyone. At that point, her legacy was cemented.

    Always thought Thatcher was an outright odious cûntish lizard being piece of shît…. didn’t celebrate per say but hoped she died roaring and was a bit happy to see her demise into frailty, ill health and death…. She didn’t make much effort to hide her contempt for Ireland… and it’s people…also she was extremely disinterested in activity pursing peace in the North and only seemed to pay it lip service from outside number 10 and back the effort of others….as opposed to ‘leading’…and bringing people along.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,339 ✭✭✭Markus Antonius


    Surprised the Donald Trump post didn't come sooner. Just shows how skewed peoples perceptions are when they can look passed the abomination that is Biden who has turned the world upside down and still see Trump as a problem.



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 39,606 CMod ✭✭✭✭ancapailldorcha


    Trump is a fascist and a threat to democracy worldwide. No amount of Trumpster drivel changes this.

    Get out with that.

    Biden is a great President compared to the Clown that came before him.

    I think you might be mixing Biden up with Putin. Easy enough to do. Putin has turned the World upside down alright.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    The man was still taking shots at John McCain after his death, I don't think we'll see much mercy for Trump once he departs.

    It is if they're a brutal tyrant who has caused the loss of many lives themselves. Bit of a disingenuous comment.

    Worst thing about her imo was her friendship with Pinochet.

    I fail to understand how Biden or Trump has affected you personally. Some are not happy unless they are angry at whatever. But to celebrate the loss of a life regardless if you agree or disagree is disgusting. Some of you are very bitter in your lives.

    It’s because of Trump so many Americans I met since 2017 fled to Europe.

    I personally believe white, middle class Americans have no place here, their cultural sensibilities and practices (such as Christian fundamentalism, gun-nuttery) are not compatible with ours. Similar with “ex-pat” “Brits” who move to mainland Europe, with their own issues.

    Both groups tend to be comprised of ethnocentrist bores as well, moaning about how “weird” everything is outside of the US/Blighty. They have a tendency to view the world as if their own culture is the default and anything different is perverse.

    Not only that but when it comes to Brexit, Trump etc as far as I’m concerned they made their own bed, they should lie in it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,339 ✭✭✭Markus Antonius


    -Afghanistan

    -Putin saw Biden in office as a tremendous opportunity to invade Ukraine

    -Biden clearly capitalizing on the war (eg. funding Ukraine's defense and trying to sell US oil to Europe)

    -Supporting Nasty Pelosi's trip to Taiwan sparking off fresh tensions in the region.

    -Did nothing to unite the US (his speech this week more or less declared war on Republicans)

    -The "leader of the free world" is literally sleeping at the wheel


    I'm being unfair blaming Biden. All he wants to do is eat ice cream. It's those pulling the strings in his name that are turning the world upside down. But this is how the democrats work - they need international unrest to distract from and also fund their socialist ideals.

    The plan for the US exit from Afghanistan was actually inherited from the Trump administration, completely unchanged.

    Biden isn’t responsible for Putin’s behaviour, as far as I know, so the Ukraine invasion isn’t Biden’s fault.

    However when Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons (I think in 1996) the US had to promise to defend Ukraine in the event of a Russian invasion. Hence “funding Ukraine’s defence.”



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,912 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    None. Why should I celebrate when people die that have nothing to do with me? That sort of stuff is for people with blinkered agendas either through upbringing, or media influenced.

    That wagon of a next door neighbour who insisted on feeding the seagulls for years, on the other hand....

    I probably won't celebrate if she died, but I will look to the sky and smile.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    You have no idea what socialism is, do you? Stick to making your millions in cryptocurrency Markus. You trigger awfully easily for a stoic.

    No idea why you would celebrate the death of anyone????

    I have seen too much loss and suffering in my life, yes I might dislike people, not agree with their view but celebrate their death?

    Thats just , well sorry no words for that

    OP I would just suggest you take a long hard look at yourself if you want to celebrate the death of someone else

    What the OP says is so true ...

    Trump, Putin, Bolsonaro ... and their cronies who prop them up ... are a disgraceful bunch.

    All three are lacking in talent, are full of ignorance and compensate their lack of ability by acting the bully. All three have left the world a worse place.

    While the world would be better off without those 3 it is sadly true that their particular abilities are 10 a penny and thus can easily be replaced by 3 more clowns. Patrushev is a worse version of Putin .. Donald Jr is a clone of his father .. and Bolsonaro has a clownish son too unfortunately. That these thicko leaders can rise to such heights shows us that no one needs any ability whatsoever in politics. These clowns are proof that politics is the last chance saloon for the chancer and the crook.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,857 ✭✭✭✭Loafing Oaf


    Yeah with you guys I find it hard to imagine literally celebrating the death of any world leader, no matter how odious...

    Are you sure about that?

    Ukraine did not "gave up their nuclear weapons". USA pushed Russia to collect ex soviet nuclear arsenal from Ukraine when they learned that nukes were about to be sold to the highest bidder. It seems that history repeats itself to some extent as even now while they are at war about 2/3rds of weapons sent there somehow "disappear".

    Such a kind thoughtful post. Beautifully put. Right on dude.

    Trump, his supporters, brexit supporters and Cognitive dissident should all lie in their bed.

    "Whether you disagree with them or not" - what's with the downplaying and trying to look holier than thou? When Hitler and Stalin died, was that a bad thing because it's never good when a life ends, and people had a problem with them just because they "disagreed" with them?

    I know Trump isn't as bad, or Balsonaro (not that I like either of them) but Putin is carrying out mass murders.

    Well, the obvious - Trump and Putin. After that maybe Boris Jonson or Duarate (the Philipino nutjob).

    The queen (of Britain, in case anyone wants to go down THAT route) won't bother me one way or the other - she'll be replaced and life will go on. Now if the entire monarchy fell, I'd celebrate that.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    No that was a good thing and if I had of been alive then and known of their deaths I would have celebrated it.

    Lots of mentions of Thatcher here.

    But surprised no one posted this song.

    Haughey, Paisley, Thatcher certainly got a big middle finger from me when they popped off.

    Likewise Trump will and Bolsonaro, Orban, Putin, Xi.
