perhaps. but the base actively *wants* a cult leader. Problem with that is that you can't follow up one wacky cult leader with another. Cult movements split over the succession, and over interpretation of doctrine. Once they become regularized they stop being cults and become the establishment.

Oh, she feels "cheated"? That Orange didn't honor his promises? I am shocked, shocked. Lisa, The Cretin only wanted your vote. Now that he got it, he. doesn't. care. He can do anything. he. wants. meanwhile, the entire US will suffer this bill because you were so gullible. thx a lot!

"Diversity is discrimination" is literally Orwellian language, like "war is peace, hate is love, slavery is freedom." You can find it at civilrights.justice.gov

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Hey, he doesn't read, period. Why should he? He got everything handed to him by a combination of his father and his own bullying/ lawyering up with superior resources than his opponents.
