He would deport Geordi, Whorf and Data for not being white. And probably O'Brian for being Irish.

I bet tinyhands would think Big-ears are the good guys

He would emulate the protagonist Ferengi race... even more than he does now.

"I am hereby placing a 100% TARIFF on transport fees for any Q visiting from the Q Continuum. As you know, one of them turned me literally orange, 'as a joke'. If this dangerous criminal is found in Federation space again, I have given out orders to immediately apprehend the Q responsible and hold him in Alcatraz Prison. The Q will then be ransomed back to the bloodthirsty murderers of the Q Continuum."

The last thing that America needs is another jail. They have more jails and inmates than any other country on the planet. Also it would cost much more to refurbish Alcatraz than it would to build a new jail. The orange rapist is an idiot.

This just reinforces my theory that he saw Canadian Bacon at some point last summer.

Wasn't that place at least as famous for successful escapes as it was for being a tough and scary place of punishment? If you're whole bag is turning back the clock to a time you thought was tougher, more punitive and therefore somehow more effective at deterrence and your decisions are more cultural than rational; shouldn't you pick somewhere not famous specifically for failing at it's entire purpose of existence?

Dementia Donnie should not be running this country.

We all know that he doesn't watch PBS. Too educational.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 5 points 19 hours ago

Not to mention he just cut funding for it

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 19 hours ago

thank god he didn't watch the rock on hbo

[–] PNW_Doug@lemmy.world 14 points 22 hours ago

That man has dementia.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago

OK, now that's pretty funny.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 12 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I was close! I figured he'd just watched The Rock.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 6 points 23 hours ago

The story is far too complex for him in that one

[–] Astrophage@lemy.lol 10 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I bet we can tie a lot of his actions to the boob tube schedule

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 15 points 23 hours ago

In the first admin it was clear he was watching Fox by reading his tweets and comparing.
