How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

In today's culture (Ocean's Eight), citizen Trump would do a spin-off and make millions on a 'Miss America' that is based upon intellect and genuine social interaction, rather than their figure in a bathing suit.

It doesn't matter. It's what it thinks it is.

Try to keep up.

Kinky.  Might be a PPV spin off.

   Out of respect for the few Trumper friends I have left here, I refrained from posting that article about Trump missing p0rn in the White House, bigly, today.

   *regardless of whether it was credible or not.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

I hope none of the  metal on his (?) face is  magnetized. If he (or she) wins an award with metal in it, it could knock him out when they give him or her the trophy.

I would give each pageant a theme...black leather (think catsuits), or Daisy Dukes and cowboy boots.  No more Carol Burnett Show music, either.  The place would be rocking out.  And if the chicks wanted to describe their plans for world peace at the mic, they better make sense.  Any stupid answers, and they're out.
