That's because the Republican Party was still at least semi-functional so he had to have actual real officials and government workers serving around him and restrain him. Now he owns the party and has surrounded himself with clowns and yes men

They'd have enough salt to last forever!

That is true... and weirdly the best case scenario. But part of me worries that he intends to let Putin take Europe so he's then free to go after Canada and Greenland without Nato being able to stop him because they'll be too occupied.

Absolutely, he's the straight talker the Right *pretends* Trump is.

I find Sanderson's first law a good compromise: An author’s ability to solve conflict with magic is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to how well the reader understands said magic.

It allows for magical to be whimsical and mysterious but avoids deus ex machina.

I'd play a Klingon Cheif Medical Officer who sees saving a patient's life as a form of battle... and also doesn't understand why humans don't have many secondary organs.

That's so dumb. But he's so cool! But that's so dumb!

It's true. That's why when people say that "Vance is worse" I just have to shake my head. Vance has no soul but he also does not have what it takes to hold the Magas to the party. He doesn't have the power to keep his party in line. I *pray* for Vance presidency in the next three and 3/4 years

If only the rest of the democrats had had a spine. They need to stop acting like this is business as usual.

This guy is wrong about so much but I hope he isn't wrong about this.

Considering that Utah consumes the most porn out of any state you'd think that a bill like that would be dead on arrival. It won't be because of Republican virtue signaling, but it here we are.

Not with that attitude!

I'd settle for someone wanting to impress Stormy Daniels

Batmobile. Pretty much any batmobile

Surprisingly... Batman

Most versions of the character have Bruce Wayne funding programs to bring people out of poverty. Some storyline have him investing in poor neighborhoods and giving jobs to criminals. He also regularly beats bad cops and also often he supports good politicians that want reform

Good boy!

The unfun, but wholesome answer here is that this Thomas fellow has so many people in his orbit that come out or transition because he is a good dude that makes people comfortable and safe in being who they are so they gravitate toward him. At least that will be my answer until he comes for me 😉

What it would look like today
