Clown Car III: Who's Laughing Now

So would you. I'm not sure why it matters more in his case.

That's the kind of assumption that people of totalitarian mindset tend to make. It comes from a basically corrupt core of "total power is good, I'd have fun with that, everyone must want it" that divorces power from responsibility. Trump most certainly is an adherent. He is playing President, with breaks to play golf, and if he were king he'd be doing the same...just without a limited term. But if you look at presidents who actually took the responsibilities of the job seriously you will see that they showed very little inclination towards being kings. With greater authority would come greater responsibility, and since they weren't ignoring what they had they had all they could handle.

Having dealt with Arakhor within the scope of his responsibilities as a forum moderator I know he would take other responsibilities seriously and I doubt he would be interested in being a monarch, or even a president. Not everyone is a totalitarian.

I have a Roman nose, but I fear that the Mediterranean climate wouldn't agree with me. I'm also far too trusting and soft-hearted to make a good monarch.

Probably closer to the truth. Lemme know if the link works.

John Kelly Relieved Trump So ****ing Stupid He'll Believe Woodward Made Up Disparaging Quotes

WASHINGTON— Expressing his gratitude that the president was a big enough dip**** to be this easily placated, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly was reportedly relieved Wednesday that Donald Trump was so ****ing stupid that he believed Bob Woodward had fabricated disparaging quotes from staffers in his upcoming book, Fear. “I was sweating bullets for a minute there when the president called me into his office for referring to him as ‘unhinged’ and ‘an idiot,’ but luckily when I told him Woodward invented the whole thing, that dumbarse fell for it hook, line, and sinker,” said the retired Marine Corps general, explaining how easily he convinced Trump that the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist was lying by just saying “fake news” a couple times and assuring the president that he was an incredible leader. “I thought I might run into some trouble because this is the same excuse I used in April when NBC quoted me calling him an idiot, but nope, he lapped it all up again no problem. I guess I forgot for a second what a drooling, slack-jawed moron the president is. Honestly, even if I had owned up to it, old ****-for-brains probably would have forgotten what I said 15 minutes later.” Kelly added that now that this controversy had been laid to rest, he could focus on steadfastly serving the unconscionable dumb**** for the remainder of his term.

The Onion used to be hysterically funny. Now it's like "yeah, I can see that happening."

So there's all those claims about Islam persecuting Christianity for ‘1500 years’, but back then Justinian hadn't even been crowned Roman emperor…

I do not think it is a coincidence that they forge ties with Israel, the Philippines and Hungary and try to propel Jair Bolsonaro to the presidency of Brazil (Bolsonaro has said he'd rather have his son die than turn out to be dating men).

I'm also far too trusting and soft-hearted to make a good monarch.

You're GMing a forum game…

At least when I'm GMing, I know who's naughty and who's nice!

LOLs... that OpEd was probably written by Mike Pence...

Same with New Yorker satirical articles. More than once I've been completely duped into believing them hook, line and sinker because they usually pale in comparison to reality.

Why must you resist?

I'm a moderator. I can't show favoritism. Besides, if I did "like" something I would get a nasty, long winded diatribe about it.

One's posts show far more favouritism than any amount of 'likes' ever could.

 

[Takhisis]

I'm not sure that 5.87k posts really counts as posting.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

damn dude put away the sword and daggers

Going for the post count is low.

Almost as low as @Lemon Merchant 's post count

 

[FriendlyFire]

That's me.
I'm not sure about Little Timmy, but I count the defunding ACA and the tax cuts as wins. Trade seems to be at worst a mixed bag. And he hasn't F'ed up the economy.

Little Timmy is about find out why trade wars arent good and easy to win , tax cuts dont pay for themselves and why 35,000 Americans die each year from lack of Healthcare.

You really believe you are in a position to make this comment, Mr Fifteen and change?
