1. Well .... It's CNN

[TheBlackAdder]

57. Two Funerals and a Wedding.

.



.

[live love laugh]

61. Yep 👍🏾

[CanonRay]

2. I suppose Joe could have TFG on a leash...

[Irish_Dem]

33. I think a Hannibal Lecter mask and straight jacket would be more suitable.

Chained to a wheelie and pushed by M16 operatives.

[GopherGal]

44. Shock collar

... and turn it up to eleven

[Irish_Dem]

48. Probably take more than eleven to get him to STFU.

[dalton99a]

3. Put him in the cargo hold

[rsdsharp]

9. Fuck that. Put him in the nose wheel well.

[Irish_Dem]

36. With all that weight, the plane would do a forward cartwheel on landing.

[rsdsharp]

43. No it wouldn't. When they put the wheels down, the frozen body would fall out.

It’s 75 below zero at 37,000 feet. He’d be a Trump sickle. An orange one.

[Irish_Dem]

47. I assumed he would jam up the wheels in the well.

Wheels going nowhere.

I do like the idea of the orange f-wad a frozen blob of silence.

[Irish_Dem]

34. Cargo would have to be empty or everything would be packed in boxes and sent to MAL.

[Trueblue1968]

62. have TRUMP dropped into Scotland's LOCH NESS. Nessy will eat him in 1 HUGE BITE

THERE BY RIDDING THE WORLD OF DONALD RUMP

[Turbineguy]

4. That way Biden can tell Trump

"I wish it was you!"

[skylucy]

5. Haaaaaaa!

[msongs]

6. one might presume the funeral is by invitation only... nt

[GoCubsGo]

28. Yes, it might not even be up to Biden.

I also suspect that the size of each delegation will be limited, due to space limitations. If they invite others beyond the head of the country + spouse/significant other, one would think that the family would prefer that the Obamas accompany the Bidens. The Queen didn't break out the "anti-evil" ruby tiara for them, like she did for Girth Vader.

[Irish_Dem]

38. It is going to be tightly orchestrated and scheduled, yes.

Biden might have some leeway but he would not be allowed to invite high risk trouble makers.

[Wounded Bear]

7. As long as they make him fly coach...

[In It to Win It]

8. I feel like Trump would refuse just because it's from Joe Biden

[Ocelot II]

13. And he'd have to ride as Biden's guest on AFI, which isn't "his" any more

(unless he takes his old 757), and share the cabin and all the other events with the Obamas and the Clintons. He couldn't handle that.

[viva la]

10. I don't think he should be allowed to leave the US

We don't want him to escape indictment.

[brush]

11. In keeping with his anti-maga theme, Joe shoud exclude him from AF1...

and the official delegation, but he can come in his own plane and just stay the hell away from everyone.

[malaise]

12. Absofuckinglutely

NOT

[kimbutgar]

14. I heard this mentioned on MSNBC

I highly doubt he will invite TFG.

[Irish_Dem]

39. Yes, we can bank on this not happening.

[Scrivener7]

15. Give them feedback and tell them you're going to stop watching them.

https://help.cnn.com/us/Feedback

[Tetrachloride]

16. He can sit with Liz Cheney, Hillary Clinton

Stormy Daniels and my grandmother.

[2naSalit]

17. He doesn't deserve the honor.

Remember McCain's funeral when he was potus and nobody would even look at him.

Why watch that crap now that we know they are poison?

[spanone]

18. Joe's reply: NO FUCKING WAY.

[rockfordfile]

58. I agree

[C_U_L8R]

19. Take him. And leave him.

Maybe on some iceberg in the article circle.

[kacekwl]

20. No absolutely not. TFG should

be treated like the piece of shit he is. Not only by President Biden but by everyone. How dare they even ask that question.

[helpisontheway]

21. 😂😂😂 Zero chance that that would happen.. lol

[onetexan]

69. Precisely.

[tishaLA]

22. They somehow turn stories not about [redacted]

into stories about [redacted]. Absolute frivolity.

[MyOwnPeace]

23. Seriously? The 'dick-head' that was SO rude to the Queen in the past?

CNN has just taken yet another step off of a very deep pier - and they deserve it at this point....

[Raven]

24. It would be disrespectful to the memory of the Queen to include in the US Delegation a man who

is under investigation for Espionage, among other things.

[rogue emissary]

25. I think we all have to be prepared for the only engagement CNN will have is negative.

[BlackSkimmer]

26. I really hope Charles would put a stop to that.

But I also think Biden wouldn’t consider such a thing.

Never been a fan of Tapper.

[DET]

27. In fairness to Jake Tapper...

Tapper said it would be ‘clever’ for Biden to invite Trump since Trump would almost definitely turn down the invite since he couldn’t handle being subordinate to Biden on the trip. Sounds about right. Meanwhile, Biden gets points for his generosity. Apparently the monarchy is leaving it up to each countries head of state to determine who they want to bring with them to honor the queen.

Re Tim Ryan, I don’t know why he is stirring the pot before the midterms. Guess he wants to run for the Presidency, but this is not the time to flaunt his ambitions.

BTW, I got all this while briefly switching from MSNBC to CNN during commercials.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

49. Yes, in fairness to Jake Tapper

he said what you wrote.

That it would be a "clever" way to make Trump look subordinate (which he'd likely refuse).

I don't agree on the tactics (I'd not invite TFG under any circumstances), but this isn't some right-wing move by Tapper or by CNN.

[Meadowoak]

29. Just NO! Queen Elizabeth II loathed DJT. Very disrespectful to

Her and her family. Just no.

[Irish_Dem]

30. He could bring Ted Bundy and Robert Hanssen along too.

[jmowreader]

51. Well...Hanssen, at least

Ted was fried in Florida while Trump was still kicking little old ladies out of their homes.

[Irish_Dem]

67. I completely forgot Ted Bundy was executed.

I always think of him in prison.

When I was in graduate school, one of my fellow classmates was specializing in the psychology of serial killers and he had met and corresponded with Ted Bundy quite a bit and talked about him frequently. After we graduated I lost track of the student and Ted Bundy.

[magicarpet]

31. Sure let him go,.... only one stipulation,...

tRUMP must swim from the southern tip of Florida then swim through the shark infested waters of the Caribbean Islands. Then swim up the east coast - at all times staying 200 miles off shore in international waters. He is forbidden from coming ashore.

No food or water can be provided for him - he can carry all the supplies he needs lashed to his back. No support staff can assist him. No buoyancy devices or life preservers inflatable or otherwise can be used during his entire swim.

Once he gets 200 miles off the Maine coast he can then take a sharp right hand turn and complete the short swim to England on the other side of the pond. It might be advisable that he get an early start so as to assure he gets there in ample time to meet up with the US delegation and then attend the QE-II funeral.

Although he will be badly water logged. He will not need his layer upon layers of orange pancake makeup. He should have very very nice dark natural tan for once.

On the return trip home he can be lashed to one of the wings,.. with industrial duct tape, onto Air Force One. That will be a kind jesters, seeing how that will save him the swim back home.



tRUMP is a macho tough guy. He will relish the challenge to swim across the entire Atlantic Ocean. Just imagine the bragging rights and boost to his ego this will bring once he pulls this off.

Go tRUMP,. Go tRUMP,.. GO tRUMP
Swim the entire Atlantic.
Make tRUMP less obese again.

[vercetti2021]

32. I think this is a good idea

That way midway over the ocean they can throw his ass off the plane Air Force One style!

[lindysalsagal]

35. No doubt, the bubbuhs are lapping it up.

Cnn threw a card that pays off either way. Plus, they can ignore the real news.

[MoonchildCA]

37. He was impeached for inciting an insurrection...

…and is currently under investigation for espionage and obstruction of justice.

He is a traitor to this country, so no, I think not.

[Irish_Dem]

41. He most likely put British military and intelligence networks in danger as well as US.

He is a disgrace and dangerous.

[GopherGal]

50. Exactly.

NOT the kind of person who should be allowed within a mile of Air Force One.

I believe AF1 is meant to serve as a mobile secure command post in case of war. Letting a known security risk and possible foreign agent on board it is beyond inadvisable. After letting that slime ball on board, it'd need not only steam cleaning, but a bug sweep...

[Irish_Dem]

66. Not to mention orange f-wad sticky fingers would walk off the plane w/ all the AF1 interior items.

Yes severe security risk.

Biden would never let him near anything important.

[Wrestlefire769]

40. If he does, he risks everything...

We know that there are still Trump loyalists in the Secret Service too...

[Deuxcents]

42. The most ridiculous idea..ever. Whoever thought of this should be fired.

Considering how he treated the people over there..his multiple legal problems here. No. Hell no.

[area51]

73. +1 n/t

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

45. To maintain relations with one of our closest allies I'm a hearty FUCK NO!

[allegorical oracle]

46. Joy Reid mentioned that, too -- almost fell off my chair. She may have seen the CNN bit. nt

[jmowreader]

52. Better idea

Include every living president EXCEPT Trump. If you can’t get Carter, Clinton and Bush, you really need to take Obama; the Queen liked the Obamas a lot.

[JHB]

53. Jake Tapdancer says what?

A man so committed to "both sides" that, if he'd lived in 1938, he would have wondered aloud "did Chamberlain concede enough to Hitler? Was he too stingy?"

[brooklynite]

54. Actually it makes a lot of sense...

If President Biden invited him, Trump would have to refuse (angry at being left out) or accept (being subordinate to and acknowledging President Biden).

[LetMyPeopleVote]

55. CNN has gone to the dark side

Link to tweet

[BlueIdaho]

56. What makes them think Britain wants him there?

The new king HATES TFG and the late Queen only tolerated him because of our Special Relationship. Maybe he’d be allowed to help park cars but I seriously doubt it.

[PCIntern]

59. All very funny but....

Anyone else here see the film London Has Fallen?

Food for thought….

[highplainsdem]

60. Didn't see it, but know what the plot is. There will be a lot of world leaders at the funeral.

[Xolodno]

63. Makes sense.

Don't invite him, then he has something else to gripe about.

Invite him, then he'll probably decline. Bush, Obama, Clinton and Biden DO NOT LIKE him. They will all be talking in a group while he was a loner, would make a great photo op.

[jcgoldie]

64. How fucking stupid

Sure invite the guy that tried to overthrow the United States government like he belongs.

[Hekate]

65. WTF is wrong with CNN?

[onetexan]

68. Theyre going the Faux News route

[raccoon]

70. I thought Jake Tapper was a good guy. He must've turned into a fucking idiot. NT

[DFW]

71. Fine, as long as the discussion lasts thirty seconds or less, and................

The unanimous conclusion is NO!

[Vinca]

72. Would the Queen want Trump there? I hardly think so. Skunk at the funeral.
