Reminded me of a bit from the GOAT political comedy Yes, Prime Minister:
"But he's the Prime Minister!"
"Indeed he is Bernard. He has his own car, a nice house in London, a place in the country, endless publicity and a pension for life. What more does he want?"
"I think he wants to govern Britain."
"Well stop him, Bernard!"
- rob74 2mo agoThis is indeed what the current US administration is failing at: keeping Trump from governing the US...
- galangalalgol 2mo agoI would not have chosen the word governing for that sentence but I'm not sure what fits best. Plundering, pillaging, gutting, ransacking, Rick rolling, despoilng, or perhaps molesting.
- shevy-java 2mo agoTrump is indeed effective at pillaging. The interesting thing is that Yuri explained and predicted (!) this in the 1980s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yErKTVdETpw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yErKTVdETpw

- SR2Z 2mo agoSending ICE agents to chase around random children and demand they (on their own) provide proof of citizenship sure seems to fit the bill to me.

- titanomachy 2mo agoOh man, that show has some amazing writing. "Tobacco-related diseases cost the NHS £150 million per year!" "Yes we've looked into that, it turns out that if those people had survived they would have cost us billions in pensions and healthcare costs! From a financial perspective, it's vastly preferable that they continue to die at the current rate."
