        I don’t think getting that amount of crystals will be that difficult. A quick Go Fund Me, should be more than sufficient.

        Time travel to one of his movies and swap out the fake bullets for real ones and then he’ll still be more famous than just a regular movie star but for a different reason.

        If you can arrange it to work out just like Brandon Lee’s death, you could also save him by ensuring safety standards account for that kind of movie gun accident and we’d have more kung fu movies, too.

    To do this properly: sneak onto a set of one of his western movies and swap a blank for a live round.

      Are you implying that Alec Baldwin’s 2024 presidential campaign was sabotaged by a time traveler?

        Halyna Hutchins would’ve been the target. Baldwin is just the body, in a Quantum Leap-style time travel.

        She wasn’t US born though so she can’t be president. She was born in Ukraine.

      Given the current state of our government, I’d rather give Thatcher the gun and introduce her to the current conservatives.

      And yes, I would also fully support exhuming her body, moving it up north somewhere and setting it up as a public urinal.

    I, too, hate when people don’t use “whom” though this appears to be too much.

      Nixon and Henry Kissinger as well.

      Worst case scenario: Cambodia is functional country with a lot more people, Vietnam war ends a full five years earlier with the South being autonomous, Pakistan has less nukes, and the world is bored of our monthly landings on Moon and Mars.

          Blame Nixon canceling the program to spite Kennedy. Some people are just fucked up.

          He literally got exactly what he wanted. He was president, but that wasn’t enough. He had to punish a dead man and to do it he trashed what is arguably the most successful government project of US history and the greatest engineering achievement of the human race. He justified it by tax cuts but the sick thing was he could have had his tax cuts for the rich and still kept the program going. Everything was already designed! All that was required was a skeleton crew for maintenance.

          It is amazing how little the GOP has changed in 50 years. It is not about getting certain policies or even just normal power lust. It is about attacking other people.

            So true and frightening - in some ways the GOP has actually gotten worse because now it’s ONLY about attacking other people and trying to put the hurt on migrants and other struggling people. It’s amazing to me anyone can possibly support them, given that they have no ethics and hate is their only platform.

      “Whom” is dying, and for good reason. It has no need to exist. “Who” is completely understandable to use instead.

    Or go back in time to make sure the guy that did shoot Reagan is better trained. Maybe get him a full auto pistol.

        It’s funny but I do wonder why history got rewritten to make people think that the 3rs Reich did much for space travel.

        10k people dead in production, 15k people enslaved, more than 80 USD billion spent, 9 years of production. And the only thing they showed for it was going from a single stage to a two stages. Something some civilian university professors were already messing with. Meanwhile the bulk of “their” ideas were from elsewhere. Using fuel lines to cool, gyroscopes to stabilize, gravity priming…they took all that stuff from spies.

      What if all the failed Hitler assignations were time travelers showing up and messing everything up, and the one person that was successful made it look like suicide.

      Hitler’s destiny is already killing himself while malding and shitting himself, which is a miserable enough way to die. Lots of other assholes died quietly in bed though.
