In reply to the discussion: Two people are drowning in a pool... [View all]First Speaker
(4,858 posts)68. OK, a serious answer: I'd throw it to Cheney.
...I'd be unhappy about the choice, but better someone who at least comprehends what an issue is, and what compassion is, even if he doesn't respect either. And Dick has a better chance to at least partially make up for his evil by doing something useful in his remaining time. There is zero chance Trump will ever do anything useful with his life.

I'd throw it into the bushes/over the fence/into the neighbor's yard and say "oops, missed" n/t

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?"

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
