On the morning of the 21st of December, 1989, Romanian General Secretary Nicolae Ceaușescu was in a foul mood. The Berlin Wall had fallen, and Mikhail Gorbachev and George H.W. Bush had recently announced the end of the Cold War, making the end of Ceaușescu’s rule inevitable, though he couldn’t see this yet. Worse, his security leaders had just failed to violently put down protests in the city of Timisoara, a fact that enraged his wife Elena.
“You should have fired on them, and had they fallen, you should have taken them and shoved them into a cellar,” she said. “Weren’t you told that?”
Long one of the world’s most vicious dictators, Ceaușescu’s most recent plan for winning over the heartland was forcing half the country’s villagers to destroy their own homes — with pick-axes and hammers, if they couldn’t afford a bulldozer — and packing them into project apartments in new “agro-industrial towns,” for a “better future.” Despite this, and his long history of murder, terror, and spying, Ceaușescu to the end did not grasp that his unpopularity had an organic character. He was convinced ethnically Hungarian “terrorists” were behind the latest trouble.
After reaching the balcony of Bucharest’s Central Committee building to give a speech that December day, he’s genuinely surprised when the crowd turns on him. When he tells them to be quiet, he’s befuddled by their refusal, saying, “What, you can’t hear?” Elena jumps in and yells, “Silence!”, to which Ceaușescu, hilariously, replies, “Shut up!” The crowd listens to neither of them.

Is the leg crossing some kid of faggot dog whistle? Obama does that too
Justin’s socks are a capital offense.
Hate when guys cross their legs like women.
Repulsive.
Ys, there is. They're birds of a feather.
Does anyone think the truckers’ protest might be reminiscent of the protests in Lansing a couple of years ago?
Don’t count a castrudo down. Dictators got to dic.
But I didn't think our side had it in them. Maybe it's the Canadians...

There may be no real-world comparison between a blood-soaked monster like Ceaușescu and a bumbling ball-scratcher like Joe Biden, or an honorarium-gobbling technocrat like Hillary Clinton, or a Handsome Dan investment banker like Emmanuel Macron, or an effete pseudo-intellectual like Justin Trudeau.

Man, this guy crafts a mean sentence.
Can we refer to Justin Trudeau’s real name, Justin Castro, for any reference on this site? He is the bastard son of Fidel Castro.
Is that the best he could do in describing Killary?
How about "power-mad, entitled, divorced-from-reality, hard-drive-erasing, Constitution-shredding, Benghazi-ambassador-killing Deep-Stater?"

There are some pics of him with socks that have penises on them, too.
That’s quite a tan.
Margaret and Pierre were both quite pale.
Absent a legit DNA test to the contrary, I believe Fidel is Justin's real daddy.
The fact that there is a major Western country which as recently as 1945 had a large army and a blue water navy, which is now reduced to having this assclown as its leader, and elected to that position to boot, is very concerning.
