        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.

        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.

        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.

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.

    To get in there, you have to be very smart, have to do a lot of things physically good. So I would have had no trouble making it, I’m physically very, very good. Maybe a little bit of a problem. We’ll have to try it.

    It’s a joke right ?

    I mean come on, we all hate Trump, there’s loads of actual things he does that make it obvious he’s dumb as a box of rocks and self aggrandizing fool, but when you make fun of someone because they’re making fun of themselves it’s kind of us that are the idiots?

          Yeah, society is doomed, for constantly making excuses for someone so blatantly fucked up. Even when Trump dies, people like this will prop up the next evil idiot they find.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
