Hey, Trekkies, send a red shirt to Mar-a-Lago

[Cyrano]

On the original "Star Trek" series, some unnamed crew member, wearing a red shirt, usually ended up getting killed after being beamed down to some planet. Most Trekkies know this. It's probably something that wasn't planned by the show's founder/producer, Gene Rodenberry, but it just kind of worked out that way. Wear red shirt, -- Get beamed down, -- Get killed.

This is not a wish of any kind for the death of Donald Trump. I guess I'm making a personal attempt for the delivery of a message, and a small bit of Karma. Those ill-fated "Star Trek" characters were fulfilling the fate of wearing a red shirt on the show. Now, I'm hoping for some small bit of justice to descend upon Donald Trump for the damage he has done to America, and perhaps the world. Maybe we can regard the damage he's visited upon us all as his "red shirt."

Hey, Donald, (if someone is reading this to you), I'm hoping that thousands, (millions?), of Trekkies will send red shirts to you, to express that you are the character who will be the recipient of a bad fate. Your whole life has been one of privilege. Everything you ever wanted, you got. Sympathy, empathy and plain human decency are characteristics you don't possess. You don't even know the meaning of those words. You always have, and still do, care about nothing but yourself.

Having the FBI search every inch of your "castle," is a wake up call for you. Your Teflon days are over. You are now a target of the government you tried to destroy. Your cult is screaming about the "injustice" of this, but fuck them. They spent years ignoring the injustice of your treatment of humanity. Now, (perhaps, hopefully), it's time for some actual justice to descend upon you with every ounce of force it holds.

In the meantime, the least that Trekkies can do is send a red shirt to Mar-a-Lago. It will be an expression of the utter contempt that millions of people hold for your existence.

Address of Mar-a-Lago: 1100 S Ocean Blvd. Palm Beach, FL 33480

1. Here is an interesting article on the mortality rate of red-shirt clad...

...crew members on Star Trek. While the number of red shirt crew members who died was higher the percentage of gold clad members meeting their demise was higher.

https://gamerant.com/star-trek-debunking-red-shirt-myth/ Excerpt below:

So why is the redshirt curse a misconception, despite it being proven that more redshirts die than any other color? This comes down to the wonderful world of mathematics and statistics. While 25 redshirts sounds like a lot, the crew of the USS Enterprise comprised, at least to begin with, 239 redshirts on active duty. This means that approximately 10% of the redshirts perished during the three seasons. Compare this to the 55 yellow-shirted command officers, 10 of whom died — this makes the mortality rate of yellow uniforms around 18%, almost twice as high as the redshirts.

Does it make me a nerd to know this?

BTW, those of us who consider ourselves to be serious devotees of the show prefer the appellation Trekker.

At one of 2 Star Trek conventions I attended in the late 1970s, I got my picture taken with Jimmy Doohan (Scotty), and got to hear Gene Roddenberry speak.

4. Red, yellow, take your pick

Trekkie, Trekker, take your pick.

But send a red (or yellow) shirt to mock the orange turd. And also, as a fond farewell to Nichelle Nichols, the first black woman to go where no man has gone before, and who passed this weekend. Her role on "Star Trek" was a spit in the face of racists like Trump.

6. Well, it's hard to get weirder than Trump becoming president

Or for millions of people buying his snake oil.

7. I can't believe that a friend just texted me about

putting up the address of Mar-a-Lago. My reply, after my friendly way of informing him that he was a total idiot, is that it's on google. Anyone can type in "trump address mar-a-lago" and get what I put in the OP.
