I wouldn't touch him with a 39-and-a-half foot paddle!

oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 14 pts · 255d (2 replies)

So a 39’7” paddle would suffice

For legal purposes, my comment was not a challenge ;) ;) ;)

One person won't. But gather 100 people with paddles; and now we got a ruckus.

Que the drone strikes. Gotta EMP ourselves to have a chance

Drusas@fedia.io · 2 pts · 254d (1 reply)

Queue*

wax@feddit.nu · 7 pts · 254d

Cue*

Edit: unless he's talking about actually lining up multiple drone strikes, in which case queue is correct. Cue is used to indicate the start of something (from theater).

What the...!?

Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 255d (1 reply)

But can a person get within 800m of mar-a-lago’s golf course?

AA5B@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 254d

Depends on how big this queue of drones is

….. and all of us are probably now on a list

Can a president be held financially liable for things they did? Like destroying historic landmarks?

UnspecificGravity@piefed.social · 48 pts · 255d

We can pass any laws we want, we just need to remember that we are fucking in charge.

frongt@lemmy.zip · 21 pts · 254d (3 replies)

Why only financially? Why not criminally?

glitch1985@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 254d (2 replies)

Because that hasn't worked so far

We just need to run a bunch of investigations but file charges in three years, once they’re no longer above the law

Drusas@fedia.io · 15 pts · 254d

According to the supreme court, only if we handle it ourselves. That's not quite how they worded it, but I gather that was the ultimate result.

If actual leftist take power these fascist will be held responsible for more than that.

Unfortunately, it looks like we're headed towards another liberal 4 years followed by an actual fascist with ideology and intelligence in the form of Tucker Carlson. Hell, if the midterms are bad we might even skip the 4 years of failed liberal rule.

I think it's actually WORSE if we have another 4 years of a liberal failing to do anything of material value for the majority of the population. Especially if they are held up as "the left" by DSA Andy's. There is nothing more damaging to the left and more helpful to the right than a normie thinking that leftism is half-assed public private partnership programs that are labeled as "communist" if their goal is at all perceived as being helpful to anyone but the ruling class.

Puppy killer Kristi Noem

is seeking emergency approval to demolish 13 historic buildings at the historic federal campus St. Elizabeths, established by Congress in 1855 and originally called the “Government Hospital for the Insane,” the newspaper reported Tuesday.

Noem said that the buildings constituted “a present risk to life and property” given that the buildings sit on the DHS’ West Campus complex, and that their vacancy could be used by “individuals seeking to cause harm to personnel,” including those seeking to carry out “active shooter scenarios.”

PKscope@lemmy.world · 41 pts · 255d

Emergency.... Approval..... to demolish historic buildings. Fucking ridiculous.

Hylactor@sopuli.xyz · 21 pts · 255d

Yes, whenever I'm selecting a location to shoot a bunch of people I always prefer one that's vacant.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 254d

But don't people at DHS carry guns? I thought "good guys with guns" were enough of a defense/deterrent.

wheezy@lemmy.ml · 15 pts · 254d (1 reply)

Too much credit to Trump. Trump is being given projects to keep him distracted.

Randomgal@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 254d

Bro thinks Trump cares about the files lmao

Professorozone@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 254d

I think he figures if he tears down a historic hospital for the mentally ill, they can't ever put him in it.

Probably have a Trump statue built in all of these locations.

The leading cause of death for Roman Emperors, and most rulers throughout history, was violent death, primarily assassination or execution, followed by suicide...

You know, maybe we should consider this option more thoroughly.
