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

[-] nonailsleft@lemm.ee 20 points 2 months ago

Cryo-capsule in space you say

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

A decaying orbit into the sun you say

[-] quicklime@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

He's not worth the fuel cost :\

[-] Deello@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

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

Musk can send him to Mars for safekeeping.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Only if they go together.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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

While yes, there's always Epstine... so maybe not that safe.

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

At least then, the rest of us would be safe

[-] Zexks@lemmy.world 113 points 2 months ago

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

While smelling like shit.

[-] BaldManGoomba@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months 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

[-] tektite@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 months ago

Then shot himself in the foot handing it over.

"The radical left did it!!"

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 87 points 2 months ago

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

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

https://archive.is/nFchC

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

[-] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Right now I can't quickly find an english result that isn't Fox/affiliated.

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

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 36 points 2 months ago

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

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 37 points 2 months ago

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

[-] andyburke@fedia.io 20 points 2 months ago

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

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

[-] atomicorange@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

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

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 9 points 2 months ago

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

[-] WraithGear@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No because he thinks some citizens are not worth going to war over, like the press in Gaza

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Oh he’s special all right. Just not the way you mean.

[-] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 2 months ago

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

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

We must tolerate the intolerant!!

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

[-] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 2 months ago

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

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago
[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 months ago

I think trump is a horrible person and vote kamala but yes killing a presidential candidate should be sanctioned in some way. Of course killing thousands of innocent people in gaza should be sanctioned too but our world is too fucked up to do that right now sadly.

[-] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

In my personal opinion, I'm inclined to think that Trump's death would be a pretty unambiguous positive given the threat he poses, and the number of additional people that will predictably be killed because of his policies. That said, you can't just let a third party kill your political actors, and the negative outcomes of a likely war will dramatically outweigh any good done.

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Mixed feelings.

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

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

[-] nemonic187@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Would it tho?

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 7 points 2 months ago

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!

[-] randon31415@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Has he warned Trump that killing the grand ayatollah would also start a war, since I'm not sure Trump knows that.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
