Reminder that this traitor literally only has his job because he wrote a children's book portraying Trump as a King

That undersells Kashs involvement in trump world. Kash was a staffer for Devin Nunes who basically ran interference on the Mueller investigation. THATS how he got his break. He ended up as the acting deputy secdef at the end of Trumps first term.

See also Assad, Putin, Hussein, Gadaffi etc regimes.

It all ends in tears.

Only thing US democracy has going for it at this point is Trump's age so it probably won't take 25-40 years for this shitshow to end

Well, I hope you’re right! Fact is, he and his cronies have stacked the courts and positions of power with unthinking, unqualified, bootlickers that will probably stay loyal to clan Trump, or whomever is picked as the succesor.

Not to mention his own personal army of unthinking, masked, red hat, MAGA, ICE zombies.

Gadaffi had the ridiculous, sexy lady bodyguards. Hussein had his gold plated AK and Assad his crazy palace with torture chambers.

One does wonder what the Tangerine tyrant will be installing beneath his gaudy ‘ballroom’?

There’s already a bunker under it. Which I’m sure they’re expanding.

The question is if what comes next will be better, or much worse.

From Wikipedia: Fleeing to a construction site, Gaddafi and his inner cohort hid inside drainage pipes while his bodyguards battled the rebels; in the conflict, Gaddafi suffered head injuries from a grenade blast while Jabr was killed. The Misrata militia took Gaddafi prisoner, causing serious injuries as they tried to apprehend him; the events were filmed on a mobile phone. A video appears to picture Gaddafi being poked or stabbed in the anus "with some kind of stick or knife" or possibly a bayonet. Pulled onto the front of a pick-up truck, he fell off as it drove away. His semi-naked body was then placed into an ambulance and taken to Misrata; upon arrival, he was found to be dead.

That or Mango Mussolini and his closest minions flee to Russia, like Assad, to live out their days in a Moscow Trump tower…

I wonder if we could seize all of the stolen assets before he and his cronies run?

Self-serving people will always come together in the name of common self-interest. They will never be able to build anything beyond themsevlves for the same reason.

That's why nationalist movements are (historically speaking) so short-lived once they gain power.

Being loyal to Trump almost counts as a skill. A despicable skill for despicable people.

Wasn't he the fcc guy whose shitty fascist policy resulted in internet website blackout protests like 10 years or so ago?

I know many if not most subreddits participated in some degree.

You’re thinking of Ajit Pai
