Someone else here on Lemmy suggested community service instead of jail time. It sure would be funny to see Trump in a high-vis vest picking up trash along some road. Maybe one day per gag order violation?

I would happy cry if this happened

It can't happen though. Community service is an act that requires cooperation. He would need to buy in, which he won't. He'd wear the orange jumpsuit and continue to campaign from the side of the highway. He'd never pick up a single bit of trash, he'd smile for cameras.

Cool, so then he's never actually going to complete it and would have to be out there every day doing nothing and looking (more) like a criminal.

I'd still pay to see him forced to degrade himself and be cajoled by DoC thugs to pick up trash. Even if he never did, the damage to his ego would be worth the wasted time.

It really would. Just make him stand around out there by the road every day. At least until the media stops showing up.

He'd be looking more like a martyr every day. He'd get constant attention from his supporters and more opportunities to address the public than he currently has now. As much as it could hurt him, It really has as much chance to backfire and help him.

He’d never pick up a single bit of trash

With those hands?

I’ll see myself out

Hey now!

He’d be great at picking up those plastic beads that come in body and face wash products.

What's the intended response here, chief? I'm genuinely stumped by your contribution.

Just a reality check.

You were protecting me from a passing fancy. Got it. Thanks for keeping the fediverse safe.

What was the point of this reply?

You were being a bummer for no reason, to a real person who was just having a nice thought. This is to explain that mistake. Now I'm explaining the explanation and confirming it. Why does this conversation feel like packet handling protocol?

Ok, so there was a post suggesting that community service for mr trump was legitimately a good idea. I was rebutting that idea. If that makes me the asshole, I truly don't understand why. In retrospect, it wasn't your post that first suggested the idea, so I suppose I shouldn't have responded to that particular post.

I'm sorry reality is a "bummer" though, I don't disagree really. But I wasn't doing it deliberately to piss you off.

I saw that comment, too. It’s a brilliant idea. Hit him where it counts - his ego.
