Thats because it's a pretend science

The whole point of Komptomat is *not* to use it, so you can control the person you have dirt on. But they've allowed Trump to become uncontrollable

That chart looks like an ECG from a democracy croaking out its death rattle

I honestly don't know how they can make espresso taste quite so burned. I think they must source their beans from the coffee plantations of Hades
