Yeah, but at least if we have a bad president, we can get rid of him
or her, either in 4 years, or sooner if their offenses are bad

one of these mornings, she won't wake up, and then you will be stuck
with her idiot son. And he seems rather healthy.

If you don't understand why the basic concept of blood royalty (as
opposed to the faux royalty of temporary celebrity) is inherently
offensive and dehumanizing, there is little point in trying to
explain it to you. *I prefer to choose who I bow to. We are
citizens, you are subjects.
Except she has virtually no power over anyone - particularly
Canadians.

That's one reason why everybody likes Canadians.
All Americans have is the likes of GW. Sad really.
