I was going to make the same joke but with Kim Jong Un. The fact we can debate who is your president's favorite dictator is telling.Putin was there too?
Though, honestly, we all know who his favorite dictator is: DJ Trump.

Strictly speaking, he can be impeached and removed from office (it hasn't been done before, but there is nothing saying they can't). Alternatively, they can just reduce the maximum number of judges and remove him that way. Or add more judges and just dilute his effect that way.Too late, job for life. Go fuck yourselves victims of sexual assault, he's untouchable.
Have you looked at England lately? They're even worse.This presidency is making me aware of just how much of the US government is like the rules of Cricket. So many things that aren't specifically against the rules, but still aren't done because "it's not Cricket".
The number of justices seated have changed several times, peaking at 10. It originally started with only 6.Oh man reduce the number of judges to 1 and immediately pass a law raising them back to 9. It's such an end-around of democracy I'm surprised the republicans never tried it.
Oh sweet summer child. They don't have to hide it, just throw it on the pile.They can’t hide this one.
That only matters if Congress actually does something. Which they don't seem to have any interest in doing.They can’t hide this one. It’s a whistleblower complaint - it HAS to be brought to the attention of Congress.
What we'll get is a square meter of crabgrass that he didn't pay for.Admit it guys, Trump has promised to buy a million tulips for his next inauguration.
Mexico will pay for the crabgrass!What we'll get is a square meter of crabgrass that he didn't pay for.
Honestly, the more I look back, I never remember my dad being overly political. He only became semi-political when he married my step-mom, and even then it felt like it was always her doing the talking and him just kind of nodding, which knowing my dad, he would do just so he wouldn't have a conflict with her later. I have never had a viable political conversation with him and part of me is scared about having one. Ignorance is bliss, right?I feel like one day I'm just going to punch my dad in the face. And he's at least a "never trumper."
Ah, but you see, "libtard" isn't an insult according to many on the right. Just like I have several people I've cut from my life who insisted calling the nationalist party here "nazis" wasn't derogatory. Yeah, it is, unless they're literal nazis (hint: Trumpian Republicans are nazis by now).Honestly, the more I look back, I never remember my dad being overly political.

I remember the day I lost a lot of respect for my mother. I used to just let it go because I considered myself independent and anti-political for most of my 20s, and my mother has always been a very selfless person that puts others she knows before herself. She is even taking care of some elderly friends that are unable to take care of themselves. Then one day, while I was there picking up my kids, I was talking about the new DuckTales cartoon, and mentioned how one character was voiced by Lin-Manuel Miranda, then this happened as my kids were playing right next to us...
Mother "Oh? Who is that?"
Me "He is the guy behind Hamilton."
Mother "Pft, Hamilton? Sounds like a total libtard."
Me "Mother. Never say that in front of my children again."
Mother "What?"
Me "I refrain from saying anything bad about republicans or using stupid insulting slurs in front of my children because of it's divisiveness. Please do the same."
She got that rare look of anger and embarrassment and slinked off to the living room while I took the kids home. It was one of the few times I stood up to her on this and the main instigator on our unspoken no-politics rule. It was the moment I realized as much as I don't like a lot of democrats, there is no way I was going to go right again if even my mother is using stupid phrases like that.
If they're still in the party at this late date, they're all fucking nazis.Trumpian Republicans are nazis by now
I feel bad for any Republicans who are still in possession of their ethics, and who are being smeared as a result of the actions of the rest.
I can't think of any specific examples at the moment, but I'm sure there are some out there.

FixedSome Republicans, I'm sure, are good people.

Someone should make a movie about them. Mr. Smith Returns to Washington, or something like that.They're still in the party now? They have no ethics. Fuck 'em.
Why should the government spend money on a highway system? The private sector can do it much more profitably. If you really need to use a road, just either pay the toll, or subscribe to the monthly road service from the 7 different companies. It gives YOU the choice. Obviously these job creators will get heavy government tax-breaks.The last good republican was what, Eisenhower? He'd probably be considered a socialist by today's republican party.
He also expanded social security, and continued the "New Deal" policies that were already in place when he took office, rather than the current republican goal of undo anything ever done at all costs.Why should the government spend money on a highway system?

I'll stop you right there. He's responsible for Roger Ailes and Lee Atwater. Both worked on his 1988 campaign. The men who brought us Willie Horton and Fox Noise.George Bush (senior) was a politician I disagreed with on a thousand topics, but he wasn't corrosive to the social fabric or (self-)destructive
