Donald Trump is raging against the Supreme Court after it temporarily blocked his administration from using a centuries-old wartime law to fast-track migrant deportations. On Saturday, Trump ramped up his attacks by highlighting a plan to move “terrorists” near justices’ homes.

“The president should release these terrorists near the Chevy Chase Country Club, with daytime release,” former GOP staffer Mike Davis wrote online. Trump shared the post.

      Fun fact they actually foiled a plot on Obama where the guy was building some sort of microwave-based “death ray.” He was going to mount it inside a panel van.

        Well, I don’t mind making jokes because it’s basically “just” a giant taser hooked up to a massive pulsed power source. it shoots a wire at something, which then makes contact with ground and it dumps all the stored power through that wire, turning it to plasma and making lightning.

        that tower isn’t just to raise the turret up- that is the cap bank. Getting that thing anywhere near Trump would be a shocking display of incompetence. or complicity.

        also, I don’t have the resources or expertise to build it. lols.

          I looked up my example afterwards. It was actually x-ray based, so they wouldn’t actually need to expose the device for it to work, and it would have feasibly fit in a van.

          The two accomplices were also KKK members and they seemed more focused on killing random Muslims with it and going for Obama was more of an aspiration. But as delusional morons do, they overextended and got multiple undercover agents involved in their plot before they actually did any harm.

            The best escape plans always involve getting multiple federal agencies into a pissing match!

            No. Really!
