I think that’s exactly it. A worst-case scenario for the beneficiaries of that parade would be a completely deserted area with tumbleweeds blowing across the street.

All bets are off at this point, but the “No Kings” event planners have made a point of avoiding that by steering things away from the fascist birthday cabaret performance scheduled for the same date in DC.

It will be a showcase one way or the other.

No, they’ll be too busy dealing with the monkeys flying out of his butt.

It probably goes without saying at this point, but deporting someone to a culture in which they’re not competent is wildly immoral, and doing so in such a way that they end up encarcerated in subhuman conditions especially despite not committing a crime in that jurisdiction is monstrous.

Hmm. I’ll consider it, but I’ll probably just smuggle a bunch of Sardaukar to Arrakis disguised as Guild member to try for an assassination.

I don’t get the impression that Vladimir Harkonnen was a good enough host to supply Leto with toiletries during his brief stay.

I don’t have many ways to get back at Paul Atreides, so I’ve taken to spreading petty, hurtful references online. There’s not much else to do here on Salusa Secundus aside from going on maneuvers with my sardaukar.

Maybe we should work on mitigating those risks first, then.

That sounds like a disturbing correlation centered around you.

I posted this in total ignorance of my name.

Good point. What’re the leading causes of death?

Yeah, I wish we had a list of stuff that does the most harm to people so we could address those problems from the top down.

Don’t forget the manufacturing plants.

What’re we supposed to do? The busses only come on the hour if there’s coverage for a region at all. It’s really frustrating to see our taxes go to such poor service, so we very reasonably try to teach them a lesson by having our politicians reduce their funding, but they don’t learn at all. The service just gets worse until a charitable, for-profit corporation steps in to fill the vacuum, usually with car-oriented services. What would we do without massive tarmacs stretching for miles?

Several football fields, I’m afraid:
