I prefer 3-ply toilet paper, but at a pinch, you’d have to use the Hun.
One of these world leaders is surely going to haul off and poke him in the snoot.

I feel like a lot of MAGA are finally starting to catch up
It’s almost as if they were so happy dancing in the swamp that they didn’t notice it rising…
Ah but half the US people are happy to vote for a criminal.

The American press has just recounted what former President Jimmy Carter said to Donald Trump during his recent interview about China.
"You’re worried that China is getting ahead of us, and I agree with you. But do you know why China is getting ahead of us? I normalized diplomatic relations with Beijing in 1979. Since then, do you know how many times China has gone to war with anyone? Not once, even though we’re constantly at war.
“The United States is the most warlike nation in the history of the world because it wants to impose states that respond to our government and American values throughout the West, and to control companies that own energy resources in other countries." China, for its part, invests its resources in projects such as railways, infrastructure, intercontinental and transoceanic bullet trains, 6G technology, robotic intelligence, universities, hospitals, ports, buildings, and high-speed trains instead of using them for military spending.
"How many kilometers of high-speed trains do we have in this country?
“We wasted $300 billion in military spending to subjugate countries that sought to escape our hegemony.
“China hasn’t wasted a penny on war, and that’s why it surpasses us in almost every area. And if we had spent $300 billion to install infrastructure, robots, and public health in the United States, we would have high-speed transoceanic bullet trains." We would have bridges that don’t collapse, free healthcare for Americans, thousands of Americans who wouldn’t be infected with COVID-19 more than any other country in the world.
“We would have roads that hold up properly. Our education system would be as good as South Korea’s or Shanghai’s." - Jimmy Carter.

Let me remind you that half the population has below average intelligence.
Let me also correct you that only about a third actually voted for him. (Just very slightly under half of the voters).
You can do the arithmetic.
That’s all great commentary, and all true..
But if it was a response to a recent interview, Jimmy must have been doing a lot of work via the ouija board.

He makes some very good points, however Jimmy began a lot of the deregulation which continued during Reagan, which is responsible for a lot of the problems he identifies there.

Problem is, in a country full of lackey, boot devouring lickspittles, this isn’t unlikely.
Institutions there to uphold the law are already ignoring government breaches of it.
Not only ignoring, but enforcing.

Apparently it was as “recent” as 2019. Here’s a link to a discussion of this Carter text:
Most people don’t think 2019 is “recent”.
But I can appreciate your posting that as if it’s recent. I am still aggrieved about John Coleman getting stitched up and suspended, missing the GF. We would have won that flag otherwise.
And don’t get me started on what those bastards did to Albert Thurgood back in the day…
