Showing Original Post only (View all)Two people are drowning in a pool... [View all]
Donald Trump & Dick Cheney
There's no one else around but you - and you're a paraplegic who can't swim.
There's only one life preserver, and you're holding it...

Throw it to Trump -- he's too incompetent and prone to panicky flailing to use it properly anyway

I was expecting a question like "what kind of sandwich would you make while watching them drown?"

I suppose you could put it on yourself and then drive your wheelchair as fast as it can go....

How could you live with yourself not saving the life of either of those public servants?

Exactly. Not saving one would bother me, but not as much as saving one would weigh on my conscience
