They should be crying for his arrest. Why the fuck is that crook still walking free?

I vote that we actually send him to Mars. He gets his dream and I get mine.

Send him with a potato and a bag of miracle gro. Matt Damon figured it out. I'm sure he'll be fine.

Nationalize spacex, force divestment from Tesla, and deport the immigrant that overstayed his visa.
