Of course I personally still can't get over the penis piano playing lmao. I wish more countries had the balls to vote for someone like that.

Senile lunatic once was middle-aged fresh president and he also used to be sharp. It is just he's senile today, and probably can be considered sharp for his age.

The only difference is that he outright lies off the screen to his people while Zelensky does not.

Dry humour at its best. Delivery is king in comedy.

In the words of Jeff Foxworthy, "true stuff is the funniest stuff."

I think you are confusing comedians with clowns.

Although, history has shown every nation isn't that far from signing up from fascism.

using the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2024 Current Population Survey estimates, about 65.3% of the voting-age population voted and 73.6% were registered — which implies roughly 88.7% of registered voters cast a ballot in 2024 (65.3 ÷ 73.6 ≈ 0.887) [1]

Not the rest of the world, Just Zelenskyy / Ukraine.
