@pluralistic

And because the US democracy is not strong enough to enforce the laws on their president, Trump is playing pippi longstocking in the white house.

@TheOneSwit @pluralistic

Surely you mean Calvin-Ball ?

@bsdphk @pluralistic

didnt know calvin ball. But i mean he is superrich like pippi, he lives in the White house, and like pippi he stands above the law and is doing what ever he want's "only his own moral could stop him"

and i mean about his pirate family we dont need to talk.

@TheOneSwit @pluralistic

Fair.

But Pippi care about people a lot.

@bsdphk @pluralistic

because she wanted to. Trump decided other.

Musk could be like a Toni Stark but he decided to be more like lex looser.

@bsdphk @TheOneSwit @pluralistic Calvin occasionally got checked, when was the last time someone effectively checked the Trumpster Fire?
