These republicans are really doing that "Stalin has been mislead by these two or three terrible people around him, we must save dear leader" thing.
I guess people really do that. Tropes exist for a reason I suppose.
He's one of the most powerful guys in the world. I think he can be responsible for his own actions, kind of undermines the mystique of power when ya'll say that, you know?
Nice to see the knives out, though. Wow.
@futurebird In the book Hitler and Stalin this I’d written about both Stalin and Hitler, that their mass supporters said ‘If he only knew.” That their underlings must be lying to dear leader about the truth.
@futurebird But consider it from a yes-man's perspective: he's so powerful that it is scary to tell him that he's responsible.
I can see how it happens but that doesn't make it any less funny to watch.
Also the lack of self awareness. Do they ever pause and listen to themselves?
(What is it? 4 a.m. NYC time? And the hormiga-mathematicianist is getting no sleeps!?)
It's 5am and that's when I always wake up. I go to bed very early due to my line of work.
No Sunday lie-in? 🧐
I like to follow the same schedule every single day. That way I don't need to use an alarm clock which is such a rude way to wake up.
