    Whatshisname ruled the USSR for over 20 years … tried putting his name all over everything. Renaming major cities for example … and within a short time after he died, Russians pulled down all the statues (smashed with sledgehammers) and renamed the cities. Hmmm. wasn’t Ozymandias …

    At a time when the use of cash is becoming less and less common thanks to the tons of various money transfer apps.

    What a fucking idiot.

      We need to mass produce easy stickers or stamps of horrible quotes of his, to stick right above his signature on every single bill we find.

      If he wants to make sure everyone is forced to think about him, the least we could do it make it a reminder to everyone of why he should be deposed.

    Goddamnit I’m so sick of him. Holy shit. Not in a “How can this get any worse,” kind of way. I know it can get much worse. It’s just the grease of his fingerprints on every aspect of my FUCKING BEING. I can’t take a breath without hearing something about him and I think it might legitimately be driving me mad.

    Edit: Peel the orange.

      Peaceful shutdown.

      Four weeks it’s over, they’re impeached.

      Eight weeks, most of you have your jobs and possibly improved healthcare back.

      If you’re that sick of him.

        You really think they’d leave peacefully if they were impeached? At best we’d force their hand early since I think whether through ignoring the Constitution and running for a third term or straight up declaring dictator for life, that’s what’s coming in a couple of years.

          they’d leave peacefully

          The goal would be to get the others to force it.

          Perhaps not but maybe that kind of thing should be considered by a lot more people at election time, especially when warning was given and a trial run to be had.

          We wouldn’t care so much if the price wasn’t so high for the rest of us, based on failure to fuckin vote.

        Maybe, but those collectors will be viewed with suspicion and scorn, like hitler collectors of today, that are not museums.

          My dad’s a historian. When I was younger he had WWII memorabilia, including a Nazi armband. One of my classmates who came over asked if my dad was a Nazi when he saw it. He also had a picture of Hitler at one point. I think my mom made him get rid of that stuff.
