In Rome, Caligula made his horse a senator. In America, this happened.

    Scholars argue this didnt happen and was written as comedic insult by one of his detractors.

    Scholars argue a lot of things. Though it's true that a lot of the work of Roman historians is really one faction slandering another. But the behavior of some of the emperors was so grotesquely evil that it's hard to separate the truth from the lies.

    Elephant in the room: "Ask her about the dead school girls and what happened to all those children Epstein trafficked?"

    Second Elephant in the room: trump.

    Nothing specific about him. Just calling him an elephant.

    Her only qualification for this is what, catching loads from a child-raping traitor?

    That's why the Russian eagle has two heads.

    Oh thanks for the reply I never knew that was even part of their flag. It looks like the dude is spearing that eagle, not a very big dragon.

    Well, it's not on the flag, thankfully. The flag is just a tricolor. Putting coats of arms on flags is a bad idea.

    Is the UN failing citizens as well? Why was she even allowed to preside?

    Why is an unelected person whose only claim to fame is being a baby chute for a pedophile representing us at the UN?

    Honestly, I see the news, but no one has said yet just how and why the fuck the first lady presided over the fucking UN Security Council?

    WTF? Why was this even a thing? The fuck is wrong with the UN?

    Honestly, this is the moment where it feels hopeless. If this fucking asshole can put his hooker wife in front of the world, and the world capitulates... There's no one coming to help us, the epstien class has won, they have all the power and are rubbing our noses in it.

    The US is a permanent member of the security council and can choose their delegation.

    Another member of the ineptocracy...

  • [–] 15 points 8 months ago* (1 child)

    Why her? Shouldn't this be the role of a senior civil servant/diplomat or an elected member of the administration? Sending the partner of the President seems idiotic as a principle and reeks of nepotism, let alone if she actually had the diplomatic skills for the role.

    Edit: oh wait, idiotic is the modus operandi for this administration. Never mind, as you were. No need to answer the question.

    Does she have enough brain cells or English skills to do anything in this position?

    Did he send her because he was afraid he'd be attacked if he went?
