  • This reminds me of the story about Triboulet, a jester for the king of France.

    One day, Tribulet slaps the French king’s ass. This makes the king so mad he threatens to have Triboulet executed if he doesn’t come up with an apology that was even more insulting than than this prank.

    Tribulet responded by saying: “I’m sorry your majesty, I thought you were the Queen!”

    This provoked the king even further, so he condemned him to death. However since he had served faithfully for many years, the king offered him the choice of how he would die.

    So Triboulet said: “Good sire, I choose to die from old age.”

    This finally made the king laugh, which led to him allowing Triboulet be banished from France instead of executed.


  • That’s fine. You were in your blunder years and not even old enough to vote. At least you were paying attention and willing to learn.

    There are people three times your age who’ve voted for that pedo rapist three consecutive times and still support him, even as he burns their world to the ground.

    Unlike them, you were smart enough to avoid the cult. Be proud of that, if nothing else.









  • He’d be in the bottom 15. The problem with ranking Reagan is that most of the big issues with him didn’t become fully apparent until long after he was out of office. When you make a list like this it’s kinda hard to fit all the awful US presidents in a top 10.

    All the president’s between 1840 and 1860 alone deserve to be somewhere in the bottom 15 for endlessly supporting slavery and setting the stage for the civil war, which makes fitting Reagan in kinda difficult.
