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

            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.

            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 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.

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