Good idea, but it needs juuuust a fewe minor changes. Instead of cargo plane, used a B-52. The plane doesn’t need to land, just open the bomb bay doors over Kenya and bye-bye Donald. I’m sure there will be somebody more than willing to pay the littering fine 😃 ---

Are we talking fivehead? Sixhead? When the [White House used precious electrons](https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#!/response/searching-et-no-evidence-yet) (And more importantly, actual staff time and effort) to answer the various petition requests about coming clean about what NASA knows about UFOs I think it set a new standard for absurdity. Compared to that, even the other questions you ask seem reasonable. ---

> [@pikey\_pete](#): > > my only input is this…even if Obama wasn’t an american citizen when he got in office, I think after 4 years as president he should qualify. Also, what treasonous actions has he made giving away america to those wily kenyans? As said, four years of presidency should make no difference. Also, no one’s questioning whether Obama’s a citizen, they’re just questioning whether he’s a _natural born_ one. Actually, as I write this, I’m sure there must be some asshole out there arguing that Obama’s not even a US citizen right now :smack: ---

But of course he _is_ a natural born citizen. (And Donald Trump is a grandstanding blowhard and a braying jackass.) ---

Heh. Talking to a co-worker about the Mitt-Newt-Donald show and how you were entered into a drawing for dinner to The Massive Ego\*. He says “can I pay extra not to be entered in that drawing”. Of course, I would never attend any affair involving Donald Trump. I have to admit that he’s one of a very few people on this Earth that I actively despise. - Ok, you say which one is that? Trump or Newt? Fair enough. I mean Trump. ---

> [@Telemark](#): > > Regardless of your stance on the issue (normal or batshit insane) this makes no sense. Serving in office doesn’t change anything. Hmm, well I would argue that if someone who honestly thought they were a citizen but through some error or oversight actually wasn’t, that serving as president for four years should grant you that privilege. Similar to how serving in the U.S. armed forces will expedite citizenship. ---

Yeah, one can apply for work permits and stuff. I suppose four years experience as President may qualify. ---

The Donald just opened the ostentatious[Trump Ocean Club](http://www.condohotelcenter.com/images/trump-panama-building.jpg)here in Panama. It’s one of the tallest buildings in Latin America. The building looks quite different from the back, which it the view I have of it when I’m tied up in the evening rush hour. I take great amusement from the thought that from this view the building, like its namesake, is a [Giant Twat.](http://www.buypanamarealestate.com/uploaded_files/trump_panama_13.jpg) ---
