I know we're living in the crapsack timeline, but I didn't realize it was a crapsack made of little shit people that the Republicans sculpted like they were Play-Doh and then threw them in the sack and made screaming noises, pretending the little shit people were screaming, before declaring that sack to be their new second-in-command after Trump.

      Then he just needs to appoint himself as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and become the President of the Senate to fulfill his dream of running the entire government.

      (Not doing any work, mind you. Just holding all the positions of power at once.)

        Our former prime minister actually did something like this. He secretly appointed himself as health minister, finance minister, industry minister, home affairs minister and treasurer. It was quite a big scandal that only came out after the election that kicked out his government and threw a lot of ministerial decisions made during that time into legal doubt, though nothing ended up coming from it.

        Morrison was a lazy shit and only used his secret ministerial powers a few times, he just wanted to have the power for himself. His stated reason was "in case the existing ministers became incapacitated by COVID", but we already have assistant ministers that could fill in if that happened.

          Fuck scummo. He was even worse than Abbott. At least he cared about some of us. Sure, they were all rich, white, Christian people, but he still cared about them. Scummo just cared about himself and no-one else. Also, it was kinda funny when Abbott ate his second unpeeled yellow onion on national tv. I mean, once is a mistake, twice is hilarious/concerning.

      Let's just skip all these stupid little technicalities and proclaim him Supreme Leader or King.

      It's what the founding fathers would have wanted…
