        Irony in light of the clown shoes comment.

        But also normal dictator shit.

        And also Florida man shit. “I bought you this thing you have no need or desire for even if it was the right size.”

      You are right.

      It is based on an alledged turkish saying but was tought up by a Lady called Elisabeth Bangs.

      Here is her Blog Post about it.

        On Friday evening, January 21st, she repeated the saying on Twitter and Instagram, in slightly different form, adding that it was a Circassian proverb (in Turkish: öküz saraya çıkınca kral olmaz, ama saray ahır olur). At 2 a.m. that Saturday morning, she was detained for ‘insulting’ the Turkish President, which is as strong an admission that she’d hit the mark as it’s possible to imagine.

        I read that Orbán was an inspiration to the writers of Project 2025, but i guess Erdogan might also be a real life example for Trump. He needed a few decades to turn his country from a secular democracy into a religious “democracy”. I really feel for the opposition there. How long before Trump puts people behind bars for insulating the president and locks up Democrats because of “corruption”.

          Depends how well the Supreme Court allowing them to steal the midterms works.

          If they lose majority I suspect they’ll start the lockups. Since they projected it so hard, like the pedophilia.

      next president will take all the blame trump did, rinse and repeat for the gop. they expect it so they can ratchet things further. the only way AMERICANs will “wake up” if there is a continious REPUBLICAN white house at least for another election, that way it gets harder fro fox/newsmax to blame a DEM.
