The Last President

I feel like this needs an asterix. The last president* who began his presidency as a president, had the powers of a dictator, but refused to use those powers because of morals.

While he could have used those powers to aggressively reshape the nation back to the original framework envisioned by the founding fathers, instead he followed tradition and what was expected. As such, the next “leader” of the United States embraced these powers, led a bloody siege to his opponents, and thus began the beginning to the end of what was once called the United States of America. Father Trump, as he demanded to be called, partnered with Russia and North Korea, in effect beginning WWIII. The American people were “shocked”

Edit: weird that Android phones auto correct WWIII to WWII? Or is that just my phone for some reason? It doesn’t matter. We’re fucked

It’s a good move to be public like this, but if it’s another train wreck, it’s time for an intervention. I’m sure everyone involved gets that.

That live speech he gave in the North Carolina rally on the next day after the debate wasn’t a train wreck.

Probably won’t be a teleprompter at this interview

Time for an intervention was Friday fucking morning. Better late than never, though. I’m honestly hoping that both candidates fuck off and die before the election. FWIW, I am voting D no matter what.

Stephanopoulos will interview Biden on Friday, with the “extended” interview, as ABC News terms it, set to air on Sunday on This Week and Good Morning America on Monday.

I’d like to see him in a live interview.

Doubt. Notice how quiet trump’s camp is. They have the upper hand and they know that Brandon is completely fucked. Why draw attention?

It’s frightening that their campaign is being run by someone intelligent. Someone who was able to get through to trump and convince him not to be an odious asshole during the debate.

My man, we are all fucked.

Trump can’t stay out of the spotlight long. He’s wholly incapable of not being the center of attention.

In other news, did you see his name in those Epstein records? Turns out he allegedly raped a few kids, so there’s something fun for Republicans to condone ignore.

Bro. Raping kids is going to get him more votes. They’re fucking degenerates.

And to demonstrate his newly granted powers, he should have Stephanopoulos sent to gitmo.

Can we get Sean Hannity in there too? It’s been 15 years, 2 months, and 10 days since he promised to be waterboarded for charity.
