When the Big Thicket National Reserve was established in Texas, some hillbilly who would undoubtedly now be MAGA stole into it to poison one of the most ancient trees there, with lead acetate.

Destroying these cherry trees reeks of the same spiteful, barbarian sadism.

It can't be said often enough: killing things and destroying things feeds Trump's ego and makes him feel godlike. He's addicted to it, and he won't stop until he is dead.

" spiteful, barbarian sadism."

Yup.

This is cruel arborcide and the planet needs more trees, not less.

One valiant USSS S/A can "Valkyrie" Trumpf in the back of the head for all of us.

"Bang!"

The S/A would immediately drop the firearm and surrender to the PSD:

"I had to do it."

"Good job. But we gotta cuff ya now."

"Ten-four."

He/she would be later acquitted by jury nullification or the next non-Republican POTUS can pardon him or her.

I'm sure the owner of this site will love explaining allowing idiots like you, openly talk about shooting the president in the head.

DC Cherry Trees
Palestinian Olive Trees

Both on the American taxpayer's dime.

Here I thought he really liked cherries.

That's what they say, anyway.

The "White House Windbag" also vowed to deliver a long, boring speech on the Fourth of July when the temperature will reach 107 degrees Fahrenheit: "By the way, on July 4th, it's going to be approximately 107 degrees out, and I'm going to go, and I'm going to make a really long speech just to show that I can do anything."

Those are horrible ideas and should be discouraged, unlike hanging Mike Pence.

What if he chokes to death on a cherry? Can I talk about nobody wanting to rescue him, but rather just watch and snicker as he turns purplish orange?

The cherry isn't a famous weapon, but rather a symbol of reconciliation.. until now.

C'mon, man.
"Valkyrie' was a bomb plot. Maj Brandt doesn't move the bag, the war with Germany ends 9 months earlier.

I didn't know Valkyrie was a bomb plot!

And moving the bag behind the thick table leg was one part of the failure.

The amount of explosives in the briefcase was sufficiently lethal to kill Der Fuhrer in a closed off room because of the vacuum it would create.

When the meeting took place outside the sealed bunker because of the heat and humidity, the explosive force dissipated, killing only four Nazis and allowing Trumpf's hero to survive, albeit badly shaken up.

Lucky SOB
