Paul Kenyon’s Children of the Night describes the morbid black comedy that ensued. The Ceaușescus and a motley gang of undead apparatchiks that included the “morbidly obese Prime Minister, Emil Bobu” later tried to load into a single helicopter — Bobu “waddled, walrus-like, to the rear” Kenyon writes — but there were too many of them, and the copter barely got off the ground. “Where to?” asked the pilot, and nobody knew, because there was no plan, since none of them had ever considered the possibility of this happening.

I would die a happy man if I lived to see a lamppost decoration party with Justine as the guest of honor.

“Trudeau fled the city, removing his family to what aides called a “secret location” for “security reasons,” a politically disastrous move denounced by just about everyone with a microphone or a Twitter account, including members of his own party.”

Trudeau then released a video.
Someone challenged the “autistic 4chan types” to find him based on the unremarkable backdrop.
They did find him, within hours.

“Not everyone can earn a living on a MacBook at a cottage.” This has been a theme in the States, too, where the people most dickishly insistent on the necessity of lockdowns or mandates have tended to be Zoomer professionals spending the pandemic in pajamas.

Beautifully written.

Wasn’t it the Cecescus (sp) who were caught flushing money down the toilet? I assume they had stolen it from the public treasury and were trying to dispose of the evidence.

Kiev has just about nothing but high rise apartments - just a few detached houses in the city, as far as I could see.

They could remake “Miracle on 34th Street” with an entirely different bent.

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.

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?

Psyops.

But I didn't think our side had it in them. Maybe it's the Canadians...

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.
