You're absolutely right, Lux. "2nd Amendment solution" indeed - but ONLY if you're a high T male. Otherwise you're not going to be a member of "The People."

I don't want anybody murdered.
Getting a little too guillotine-esque for moi.
If Elmo and Donald should die soon of natural causes, that's fine.

This is an echo chamber for the Elon/Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Interesting. I did not know TDS was now E/TDS.
I was not a fan of everything President Obama did.
I am not a fan of everything Trump did.
I absolutely do not like a lot of stuff Elmo says and does.
But I can count positive things from each as well.
Just not sure wishing any of them physical ill-will is anything but a recipe for bad personal mental health.
Hoping we can find common ground the next 4 years.

Indeed, since they're both deranged.

He's not deranged. He's just selfish POS with a lot of money. The deranged are the people that helped elect him (mm hmm). There's nothing kind or benevolent about him. Nothing. "Hey, let's stand up for this selfish bastard" because he's a reflection of my values? He's consolidating massive power and control, which you get literally nothing out of so let's just ignore him. He and others like him manipulate politicians like Trump in order to feast on America's treasury. We're supposed to be cool with that?

Exactly. Every single thing Trump and/or Elon has proposed will line the coffers of the very rich, and leave regular people paying exorbitant amounts of money for the basics of life. There has never been a President, Republican or Democrat, who had absolutely zero empathy or sympathy or not one stitch of compassion. Even Nixon was able to enact some good policies. Even the Bushes managed to enact some good policies. But during Trump's four years, all he did was pass a tax cut carefully scripted to enrich the wealthy and screw the working class even while tricking the working class into thinking that it would benefit them for more than a couple of years. And he built some easily-gotten-around chunks of wall. Then he left a poison pill for Joe in Afghanistan and stole state secrets and violated the Logan Act over and over and over and over and over. Add to that the loudly proclaimed intention to jail anyone who was ever mean to them – and the fact that both of them talked about murdering their political opponents – and we have a flaming asshole with no close competitor ever in the White House, let alone a Doublemint Twins douchebag situation.

Raising the strategic danger of China, the Abraham Accords, and Project Warp Speed come to mind.
Were they 'his' ideas? No clue. But they came out of his administration.
I try to call balls and strikes as accurately as I can.

Other than that catchy name, would ANY other administration have responded differently to a global pandemic, without extraordinary measures?
