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

Cryo-capsule in space you say

A decaying orbit into the sun you say

He's not worth the fuel cost :\

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

Musk can send him to Mars for safekeeping.

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

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

This is what people don't get...with all the glorification of interplanetary travel, it's easy to forget that it's a lot easier to build and survive in a base at the south pole than it would be on Mars. At least you can open a door at the pole and not immediately die.

Exactly! Mars is coated with toxic perchlorates on top of being colder, dryer, more remote, and with higher radiation than Antarctica.

But since the techbros haven't figured that out and it's getting warmer maybe that's my ultimate retreat.

Look, you do that and eventually Spock gets killed.

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

Somehow Spock returned

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.

I wouldn't think you'd want him decaying over the next couple centuries in your hunting grounds

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

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

Then shot himself in the foot handing it over.

"The radical left did it!!"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Maybe not, but there's really no reason to stoop to his level. If you're calling for Trump to be assassinated, you're no better than he is.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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

If Iran can promise that only Trump would... on second thought, it probably will set bad precedence going forward. It's extremely important our government handles Trump properly but they refuse. 😭

I mean, I don't think we have to obey the letter of the law everytime, surely we can make exceptions sometimes.

Did cameras manage to catch the overly dramatic wink when he said this?

This comment section is pathetic. Killing trump is apparently no problemo, but supporting Israel against several groups of terrorists who's goals are the genocide of all Jews and other undesirables is evil bad genocide.

Make up your fucking minds.

Which groups are you talking about? Can you quote where they stated they wish to kill every Jew?

I think he is talking about Hamas, and Hezbollah. And the quotes he is referencing is probably all the times they say they hate the Jews and they should die. And the other religious my Abrahamic religion is the only real real one, yours is from Satan stuff.

Just a guess though. But I'm assuming that is what he is talking about.

But those groups do not wish the kill Jews. They are very clear about that. They wish to dismantle the illegal occupation on Palestinian land.

And the other religious my Abrahamic religion is the only real real one, yours is from Satan stuff.

They do not want that. There are many Christians living in Gaza and Lebanon. The myth they are actively trying to slay other Abrahamic faiths is pure Israeli projection.

Gaza had one of the oldest churches which was pristine until it was recently bombed by israel. https://www.vaticannews.va/en/church/news/2023-10/churches-condemn-air-strike-on-greek-orthodox-building-in-gaza.html

Sure, they want war. And to kill all the Jews living in Isreal. You can't gaslight the world by repeating otherwise.

I stick with the majority of people on this planet and say Fuck Hamas and Hezbollah.

They wish to dismantle the illegal occupation on Palestinian land.

Unfortunately that land is "all of Israel".

Not your main point, but just to be clear, you can't be a Muslim and deny the Torah or the words of Abraham or Moses. They're considered holy.

There have always been theological and geopolitical tensions, but you can also see a basis for peace. If only we could break this accursed cycle of violence and imperialism.
