Ah, Don Novello. He dispensed quite a few words of wisdom on SNL, eh?
Would you believe: Francis of Assisi?
I know, right?
Bennie’s still alive, otherwise he’d be a shoo-in…
It really looked bizarrely like you referring to Signor Mussolini there. I mean, Bennie. Fascism…
I presume you’re actually thinking this dude
Yep, that’s the one.
And his whole schtick was promising to Make Judea Great Again™ by taking it back from the Romans, the predecessors of modern Democrats.
Today’s schadenfreude: Putin called Biden to congratulate him on his win.
See, that just proves that Russia, Russia, Russia was all about getting Biden elected! Just the break the Trump legal team has been waiting for!
The orange shit-gibbon must feel like a jilted lover. If Biden starts getting love letters from Kim Jong-Un, I don’t know how Trump will ever be able to face the world. Although Putin was truly The One – the bestest boyfriend ever.
It’s interesting to look at the timing of this, though. Putin called Trump to congratulate him right after the 2016 election, but with Biden, he waited until the EC vote a month and a half later. This despite the fact that Biden won with the same number of EC electors as Trump and won the popular vote by a wide margin, whereas Trump had lost the popular vote. Maybe Putin was more enthralled back in 2016 because Trump was his First Love. I think his heart will always belong to Trump.
I will always believe that the best way Russia (or others) could have thrown this election to Trump is by ham-handidly throwing races to Democrats, giving Trump credence for his subsequent challenges. That they did not do so is as telling as anything re: their opinion of Trump.
Would’ve been easy, right? Disinfo campaigns aimed to support D’s in the same 6 states (WI, MI, FL, PA, AZ, OH), maybe some hacked voting records, pretty much the 2016 playbook all over again. ‘What we did for you, we are going to do for Biden - then YOU prosecute him for it… thereby getting rid of the Democrats for a generation’ is a plan Trump may have signed on for.
Too complicated for Trump’s tiny brain to comprehend.
Randy Rainbow knocks another one out of the park.
(Sorry, wasn’t sure which thread to put this in, but it pairs well with my schadenfreude.)
I don’t think that’s true. He is the less facist of the two.
and I’m less fascist than Mussolini. Why do you think Biden supports a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition?
That’s superb.
Then one night two years ago
Donald called to say:
Rudolph with your Rogained roots
Help me hide my prostitutes
The last two lines in that verse may honestly be the finest poetry I’ve read this year.
Schadenfreude isn’t my favorite freude, but I’ve been enjoying it frequently while it’s cheap and abundant during this extended season.
I had no idea you could lose an election so many different ways and times.
For some brain-deaders, Biden is both Fascist and Socialist at the same time. In fact, it’s a well known fact that he fought on both sides in WWII.
It’s also a fact that some people use these terms without one fucking notion about what they mean.
Here’s an interesting article which seems perfectly fitted to this thread:

The article supports my theory that Trump is the ultimate stress test for ethics. (Although many of them were just quietly skating along under the law until working for Trump brought them media attention…)
Here’s the first entry on the list:
And later on, a sad one that makes me realise I’m not really a nice person because I laughed:
Well worth a skim.
And Putin congratulated Biden before Mitch McConnell did.* So I guess Mitch has more hair on his chest?
Or maybe he’s just a bigger son-of-a-thing, which is saying quite a lot when the comparison is with Putin.

For this, you have been awarded the North American Odd Comparison of the Day trophy. 
Wear it in good health.
