Well, yeah, but wasn't he XIV's grandson or some such? Apple don't fall far from the tree...and rich or poor, back then, frequently the grandparents were the first babysitters the parents turned to during a busy day. ;-)
And XIV ruled for a hellaciously long time on the "I AM the State!" platform... :-/
Fun Fact: even though, yeah, the Bourbon ruling house were pretty much full of dicks like that and were somewhat immured to how "the people" actually felt (though "Let them eat cake!" was never said by Marie Antoinette but just associated with her way later as political "humor"), the whole mess could've been exacerbated by the Bourbons nearly bankrupting France by helping US out with OUR Revolution, without whose help we might not have won (oh, let's face it: we wouldn't've won without the help of other countries being our ALLIES and help from IMMIGRANTS, like that gay Prussian general dude [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Wilhelm_von_Steuben]).
Granted, they probably did it just to stick it to England, but whatever, we'll take it. ;-)
I suspect that many who are waiting in the wings could be even more dangerous than Trump - Trump is a gibbering idiot, while they at least might have some intelligence, and use it to make things even worse.
He calls himself "King" and then tries to blame the NEW INFLATION on Biden! He come up with some LAME idea about immunizing chickens to avoid killing them when the whole flock is infected. (Why doesn't Trump just sign another executive order banning the bird flu?) I don't know if he wants to inject bleach this time. He says the president of Ukraine is a dictator with only a 4% approval rating. Zelenski is NOT calling himself a king and has a 57% approval rating, which is far higher than Trump's! Trump now says he is in charge of the FCC as well as other independent agencies that were made that way to keep ASSHOLES LIKE HIM AT BAY! That would mean that he can revoke the broadcasting licenses of any network that doesn't bend over and kiss his fat ass! In essence, there will be NO FREEDOM OF THE PRESS! EITHER IMPEACH THIS ASSHOLE AND JAIL HIM OR LET'S DIVIDE THIS COUNTRY! LET TRUMP BE KING OF NOTHING EXCEPT THE $34+Trillion in debt!
He can call himself Grand Poobah for all I care, as long as he adheres to court rulings. I fear that's our only safety net as he will not stop trying to dismantle the government and using his position for vengeance. I know there have been other really dark times in this country, and it certainly still had a long way to go to be truly free and fair, but this is even worse than I feared when he won the election.
Anybody else wondering where the Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens are these days? Is it unrealistic to expect them to be standing up for democracy and trying to rally the troops?
He is the king of nothing. His psychosis will be his undoing. This particular emperor not only has no clothes but no class, no compassion, and no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The entire world can see it but dear Donald looks in the mirror and sees a king. In monarchies the kings hold no power so there's that.
Nowadays, yeah, they're all pretty much -- ahem -- /constitutional/ monarchs, which means in countries like the U.K., the Prime Minster and Parliament mean more, actual for-real power-wise, than the king.
Glad he has accepted his role in the remake of the Americanized version of the French Revolution. Make America Revolt again. Elon and Trump are already creating the supporting roles of the starving poor. Once all the federal workers lose their jobs, the farmers lose their farms, people lose their SNAP benefits, the elderly lose their Social Security, and everyone loses their Medicare/Medicaid, they will rush the White House and line up Trump and Elon for a meeting with Mr. Guillotine in the town square.
God is right. The intonation of his feelings/desires and actions in a monarchilcal or dictatorial way. Look at who he has a great deal of respect of on the world stage.
it’s a fair question. For me it involves not giving up or giving in to cynicism. Then I mock and call out their bullshit. For others it might involve calling their senators. Others might get involved in local politics. Everyone has their own rebellion.
I remember that book! I haven't thought of it in years. I grew up in the '50s & '60s, and Dr. Seuss was always part of our 'library'. We even had Yertle on a record album, along with other books, and played this one over and over again. Thank you for the nice memory! :)
Let’s not forget what happened to Louis XIV maybe time to remind the orange turd he’s not immortal or GOD He is definitely mentally ill
Nailed it. 🎯
Uh, God ... YOU, of all folks, should know it was Louis XVI who was king of France then.

There are those that are waiting patiently in the wings. Trump is being given plenty of rope to hang himself! I only wish he would hurry up and do it!
It all needs to come down. Him and those co-conspirators waiting in the wings.

Agreed
King dip💩 for sure. I don't know about him being any other kind, Thank you, God! Amen! Awomen!
Ramen!

Immunizations for chickens but not for children. 🫨
Pretty strong words but effective as well Ranger Adams! I salute you!

One can hope so Ilene!

Oh, God, can you go a little Greek on us and smite down the Trump/Musk administration for hubris? Pleeeeeeeeease?????
Your faithful atheist,
XO
Even that asteroid would be good. We're not picky.
Don’t forget that his Elonics have tapped into all the money 💰!! Treasury, IRS, Social Security, ?Fort Knox? ?
And Trump has set up a US Sovereign Wealth Fund. So there’s a place to dump those funds - out of reach.

That was Madame Guillotine.
Back then, yeah; the Trumpists et.al. won't go to a female for anything. X-P

In 2016, I dubbed him the King of the Shit Stains. I was not wrong.......
Calling him a piece of shit insults shit.💩
Just don’t buy the guillotines from Walmart
How is it that we're fighting back exactly?

Exactly. Amen, Awomen, Aramen.
It's all about critical mass:
critical mass noun
: a size, number, or amount large enough to produce a particular result

Trump is Yertle. Never forget this, never give up, never give in. Love one another

God-Emperor Ladyfingers is trying to destroy everything before Congress can impeach him again.
And the Senate can fire his orange posterior.
The sign was that fucking escalator in 2015.
