What would I do if I was a ruler for a week?

What would you do if you had unlimited power for a week?  Since there really isn’t agreement on us using the exact penalties in the Bible, would you impose Old Testament laws?

-I would have to reroute funding to make sure that I had the intelligence I would need to enact these changes to be promptly available.

-I would ask those who had a say, “it is well known that those who go to prison are asked if their papers can be seen.  And if they are a pedophile then chances are that they will be murdered.  Since your penalty was only a certain amount of years, why are you not responsible for their deaths?”  I suppose conclusive penalties for this case would take some thought and truly depended significantly on their viewpoints and experiences.

-I would have Bob Munden or whoever is the fastest/most-accurate today,  attend the court room.  I couldn’t have him at every courtroom since there would be so many of them going on during such a small period of time.  Anyway, I would have a kindly looking person that the child (or now adult) might feel comfortable opening up to.  At the right moment I would have them ask something along the lines of “Many people feel really hurt who had to go through something like this.  I’m just curious, are there ever some moments that go by where you might have had the smallest desire that the person who did this would maybe not get to be alive anymore?”  Then the victim might say something like “I think there are some moments I have wanted their death.”  At that point, Bob Muden or the current world record holder who is still active, would draw his pistol with bullets that are designed to explode on impact.  And he would fire a shot that perhaps utilized a silencer so as not to damage any eardrums unnecessarily.  That bullet would cause their head to explode and since there would be brain matter and blood everywhere, I’d have to make sure the child rapist pedophile didn’t have AIDs or something they could transmit.  To make sure this tactic could keep working, I would try as best as I could have witnesses stay quiet about their experience until my week was over.  You can’t pull King Solomon level ruling trickery if what is going to happen is found out.  When asked for their remains by the recently deceased persons family members, I would simply tell them they are definitely invited to compete against the other bids in an auction for who wants the remains.

-everyone is allowed to own two homes at the very max.  They might not like the weather and could definitely travel to their second home if it gets too warm or too cold.

-I would only allow this message to be sent to anyone who has more than 5 million dollars.  “With the help of those who are impassioned towards a solution, we have come up with a figure that would completely end homelessness.  I believe that number was around 30 billion (given inflation this might not be true so I would find the exact number).  This is our plan and how we will carry it out.  If each of you would be willing to donate $100,000 then, according to the plan, homelessness would be ended permanently. (The amounts listed here might not be exact)

-“If anyone in the future is ever allowed to wield this amount of power and does not give it up after they go over their term by about a minute, then they are to be hung from their testicles until they die from exposure or there is enough rotting that they simply fall off and simply can’t be hung by them anymore.  And the citizens may choose to give them food or water.  They may even choose to apply ointments to stop the rotting.”

-If it can be definitively determined to be true, if anyone over the age of 60 (stand up before the grey haired and honor the aged) has fallen victim to a scammer who convinced them to send a very large amount of money, that scammer has to do what he has been doing except the scams have to be done by taking money from their peers.  The voices will be disguised so that eventually he will have to be attempting to scam any friends, family, or others that they are close with, care about, or respect.  They are then free to go.”

- Vladimir.  For each 100 people from Ukraine who died, you will be tortured for an entire day.  The day would begin “This is everything about this person that has died due to your war.”

Eventually, I would say “This is the very last Ukranian that has died due to your war.  I hope that you can finally rest now with the knowledge that you are finally finished with being tortured for all of them.”

The next morning I would say “I simply wanted to wish you a heartfelt congratulations for putting up with this amount of pain for so long.  Now then, I guess we better get started on doing a day for each of the 100 Russians killed as a result of your war.  I think more Russians have died than Ukrainians but I don’t recall the exact numbers off the top of my head.”

Eventually I would say “I believe they are all accounted for.  I wanted to reward you, first by letting you see sunlight again and then letting you feel the breeze on your skin.”

Then I would say “There really is just one more thing that you have to go through and I hope that this news isn’t as devastating as finding out that the torture had to continue for so long.”

“You can have injections that hydrate you and we have even hired Bryan Johnson to help with providing the data gained towards being able to live as long as possible.  He spends around 2 million dollars a year towards helping himself stay youthful.  For the homes that were destroyed, you get to call this dungeon your home for the rest of your life.”

-Next would come this “Hello Nancy Pelosi.  Since you are consistently able to make better investments than Warren Buffet, you have to raise money over the next year to give to me and if you reach a certain amount that is raised, then you won’t die.”

After the year is up would come “Alright, instead of simply doing all the good that could be possible from a person in your position, you decided to try to save yourself.  The money that you have made is all in that pile of $100 bills.  Since you put your worth as being above all of that money, you will be positioned above it physically.  And we are setting it on fire.  You will then be free to go if the amount is low enough that you don’t burn to death.”

-It would be a busy week of using that power to make all these events happen.

-“Hello congressman, since on average you each spend about half of the hours someone would spend working at a 9-5 job on raising funds and haven’t fought for a solution to this, my solution is that the maximum amount of time per day that future congressmen can dedicate for fund raising is 2 hours.  This amount increases to 5 hours exactly one month before their next election.  You will stay in this dungeon for exactly how long you have been in congress without giving your party another option for a potentially better candidate for your position.  The amount of time you spent per day raising funds will  now be spent raising funds for you to have commodities to be able to live.  Whatever percentage of your net-worth that each single donation reaches will be the amount of pennies that you are still able to legally spend.  Having circumvented amounts that are allowed to be donated to you by simply having the donation collected by your group, you won’t ever be able to circumvent only being able to spend those 

pennies that you have earned.”

(Putin “Hey, what are you in for?” Joking.)

-“Hello Donald.  We will passionately pursue the most absolutely neutral jurors as far as politically ideology is concerned and they will decide what crimes, if any, that you are guilty of.  They will also sentence you should you be found guilty.  I believe that it is so important to have people who are proven to be unbiased in such positions so they can make decisions that are just.  Do you agree?”

“Any Supreme Court justice who is radically far left or right will now be replaced.”

“While wiser men might have established this law of allowing a president to decide who is on the Supreme Court, the final approval must also come from the citizens that they are making rulings over.”

-“We are going to build the temple since perhaps we shouldn’t be living in homes for so long without the house of The יהוה our God being built as well unless absolutely definitive proof can be given that any necessary prophecies that were made are valid and they also must have been made by flawlessly definitive sources.  No one who has committed bloodshed or who is otherwise violent can have anything to do with its construction since He forbid David from doing so on the grounds that he was a man of bloodshed.  I think Maimonides wasn’t supportive of establishing His temple.  He also made up the law never to mix meat with milk when the verse he based it on only states not to boil a young calf in its mother’s milk.”

1 Chronicles 22:6 (NIV)

6 Then he called for his son Solomon and charged him to build a house for the Lord, the God of Israel. 7 David said to Solomon: “My son, I had it in my heart to build a house for the Name of the Lord my God. 8 But this word of the Lord came to me: ‘You have shed much blood and have fought many wars. You are not to build a house for my Name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight. 9 But you will have a son who will be a man of peace and rest, and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. His name will be Solomon,[a] and I will grant Israel peace and quiet during his reign. 10 He is the one who will build a house for my Name. He will be my son, and I will be his father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’

Addendum:  if any congressmen came forward and stated that he probably deserved such a penalty or something like it, I could imagine those more inclined towards the dark side of the force saying “Shit.  Michael is just going to say that ‘if such a strong penalty was accepted, then the actual making of them go through it would be a waste of resources and besides, he wouldn’t want to risk any divine wrath that might come from harming such a human.  Damn it.”

Hello drug dealer.  Since they bought this drug from you 9 times and only had a fentanyl overdose on the tenth purchase, you get to spend 3 weeks in a barren desert.  It will be so hot that the water you have been supplied with will feel like a drug.  You’ll have access to more water and dry food than anyone would ever need to survive for the 3 weeks.  Ten percent of the water in every bottle contains a lethal dose of fentanyl.  It can get cold at night so you’ll get a blanket.  Just look up at all the stars that you can see without the city lights. That is the amount of people who have died from those like you.

Addendum: If someone reading this had the intellectual prowess to reason “If the dealer switched suppliers then this drug only had to be purchased twice before they died.  It might have had the same name but it was cut very differently than the usual purchase so it is not the same drug at all.  The other 20 purchases of it made before shouldn’t count towards the total amount purchased. Therefore, only %50 of the water in each bottle should be nonlethal.”  Then I’m impressed.

Hello Supreme Court.  You might have noticed that some members are absent today.  Since they have decided to vote yes that the president can’t be prosecuted for any official act that they have done while in office, they are dead.  Let’s just call it an official act performed in the interest of protecting the republic. (I'd have to read the fine details first incase I might have gone too far.)
