A total act of war we definitely don't want you to do, anyway here his schedule and a box of .556.

Don't do it!

[–] Aqarius 8 points 4 hours ago

...And just like that, John Bolton gets an idea...

Shame it wasn't Saudi Arabia mad at him, we'd be sending em saws.

[–] Rapidcreek 222 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Of course the obvious solution to keep Trump safe would be to put him in a federal prison cell where he belongs

[–] [email protected] 19 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

Cryo-capsule in space you say

Musk can send him to Mars for safekeeping.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Mars is awful. Trump and Musk should definitely move there.

[–] P00ptart 1 points 52 minutes ago

Went there a few years ago. And honestly wasn't a fan. The views were pretty good for the first hour or so, but after that it's just more of the same. Don't trust trip advisor on this one. 1/10

[–] linearchaos 4 points 8 hours ago

Only if they go together.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Look, you do that and eventually Spock gets killed.

Yes he comes back, but that's beside the point.

RIght, he comes back. And so does the Enterprise. But does Joachim? David Marcus? Does Captain Terrell? Does Klingon Captain Kruge's weird ugly dog thing?

So much senseless death from putting Trump in space in cryo-sleep when we could just send him down to the Titanic in a private submarine.

[–] Glytch 10 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

A decaying orbit into the sun you say

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

He's not worth the fuel cost :\

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe one-way trip to Pluto instead?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

No thanks, but you’re welcome to put him in Uranus if you want.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

We'll find someone, I'm sure.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago

What if Musk pays. Call it a test run to send people to Mars.

Positions reversed and trump would have loaded the gun for them. Then shot himself in the foot handing it over. Maybe even a bystander.

[–] barsquid 6 points 6 hours ago

Iran wouldn't have a chance. Biden would already be killed by an Official Act of the president.

[–] BaldManGoomba 13 points 22 hours ago

That would be another felony to add to the list he won't be prosecuted for since he is a convicted felon and I believe he can't own or use a gun

[–] [email protected] 9 points 20 hours ago

Then shot himself in the foot handing it over.

"The radical left did it!!"

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

While smelling like shit.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 23 hours ago

Hey hey hey. Lets not redline anything here. International relations are tricky.

[–] [email protected] 83 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Is there a non-Fox News link? I will not visit that propaganda site.

[–] CharlesDarwin 19 points 22 hours ago

...is the archive of the Faux News version so you don't have to give them clicks...

Mixed feelings.

"It would be a very short war," Biden continued, "with casualties staying as low as possible. Say, one."

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Can career Democrats stop protecting Orange Hitler ffs. He would NEVER do the same to you.

[–] madcaesar 10 points 22 hours ago

I agree, although I wish we'd just say any US citizen. Trump is just a former President, he's hardly special.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 day ago (3 children)

What if they chopped up a US citizen with a bone saw?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago

Or intentionally ran one over with a bulldozer, or shot them in the head while wearing a press flak jacket?

[–] atomicorange 9 points 14 hours ago

That’s Saudi Arabia, and we let them chop up whoever they want because $$$.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

Strongly worded letter, then increasing economic and political ties. 🤷‍♂️

Our leaders don't give a shit about our ideals.
