Rules:

1. Be civil

This mother fucker thinks he's smart enough and in good enough shape to be an astronaut! One of the astronauts had trouble walking when she got back. So let's see it. Send Trump's ass on the next one. First president in space! What a triumph that would be!

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 41 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Actually this could be our chance. He thinks he can do it, so can everyone chime in to make this mission happen?

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Just have it keep going in one direction until it runs out of fuel

"...But it was revealed that an 8-year old boy was also placed on board by mistake. And is now trapped alone in space with Donald Trump."

Shooting him into the sun would be 🧑‍🍳💋

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I like the idea, having dumbass MAGAts staring into and saluting the sun. But it costs too much. Easier to just shoot him off into nowhere. Make sure the power lasts as long as possible to just be totally hopeless.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why waste a rocket to literally shoot him to death when we have a nation full of guns with non-existent background checks?

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Small price to pay to get rid of him and move on.

[–] MolochHorridus@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

Shooting him would be enough.

[–] Truancy@lemmy.org 4 points 1 month ago

He is a fucking idiot rotting before our very eyes

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago (3 children)

He's right. We should try it.

I would love to see what happens to 40 BMI at 4G.

Just be sure to double bag him so his shit doesn't leak. The crew doesn't deserve that.

[–] DisasterTransport@startrek.website 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Crew? Only dear leader deserves to be the first man to walk on the Sun.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

As funny as it would be to launch him into the sun, that's not the best option.

It would be WAY funnier for him to directly suffer the consequences of his demands. Imagine the headlines.

"Trump Skips Health Checks For Space Travel, Dies On Liftoff"

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You think that's good? Wait till you see 40 BMI at 0G and 80 years.

Edit: all those skin flaps...

Remember when he said he would run into a school shooting with or without a gun to save children. Dude is just naturally funny. Not sure why they made him president, but he sure is funny

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

As a child, if I saw Trump running toward me, I'd probably feel safer with the shooter

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 1 month ago

Like Nick Kroll said, dude is entertaining. But give him a talk show, not a government position.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

How can anyone find this shit funny? It's malignant narcissism. There is nothing funny about it.

[–] PixeIOrange@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Hes president to distract from the ones truly in charge. (Hegseth, Vance, Newsom, miller etc.)

Just like kash patel but there its less distraction more controllability.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 month ago

Right this way into the cargo bay, sir

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Anyone else notice that there's a LOT of photos of him sitting? When previous presidents hosted people in the Oval Office, did they sit at the Resolute Desk? Because I do not recall this...

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

FDR sure sat down a lot. Sus.

Let alone slumped over as much as he is, even when awake.

The necromancer is growing weary

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Good, go to sleep necromancer, start work tomorrow using a different corpse. Trump is the Steven seagal of politics.

[–] Vieric@piefed.social 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cool, lets send you on a very important mission to investigate the surface of the Sun.

[–] Tenniswaffles@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It takes less delta-v to launch something out of the solar system than into the sun. Cheaper that way.

[–] Vieric@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Ha, I actually thought of that, but I was like "screw it I'm gonna make the joke anyway". It would take take the most tremendous, big, beautiful rocket you've ever seen folks. Tremendous thrust, huge. But hey, worth it, right? We can't risk some alien species getting a hold of him and thinking that's what your average human is like.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah but I think it would be worth it in this case

You know what? Let’s shoot the fucker into space. No shit. Honest to god. Tell him he’s super smart and flying the thing would be child’s play for him. Tell him he can do it himself, and it’s an incredible and incredibly rare experience - a club that numbers just barely into the triple digits. Oh, no, of course you don’t need any training, because it should be very intuitive to someone of your intelligence, sir!

And then we watch.

😊

Meanwhile, this dumbass has been cutting funding for science.

Asshole.

I don’t see the problem here

did they burst out laughing?

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

It'd be hard to laugh after being insulted that bad.

I'm minded to think of two lines from Alien.

In space, no one can hear you scream

Final report: The Nostromo, third officer Ellen Ripley, hypersleep.......
