Fact is, it actually describes YOU to a tee, you're just too stupid to realize it.
Ah, yes - Rappy falls back on the "I know you are, but what am I?" gambit yet again.
Thank you for showing us all just how truly fucking dumb you really are, and how confident you are in that "genius" you're shoveling at us.

I think my favorite moment on this board - ever - was the "Wilbur" joke that totally, obviously flew over his head, and how valiantly he struggled to convince everyone else that he did, undoing himself with each post.
That, to me, summed up Rappy pretty well.

As long as the child will be ruled by the educator’s threat and by the father’s rod, so long will mankind be dominated by the policeman’s club, by fear of jail, and by panic of invasion by armies and navies.”

Whereas mine is intended to be a bit more inciteful.
Homonyms: Just because two words sound alike, they don't mean the same thing!

There is a huge controversy about the 2024 General election because Republican controlled states are changing the vote commissioners to be all Republican loyalists rather than a 50/50 split of non-partisan Democrats/Republicans so that in a close election the Republican loyalists can claim the vote totals are too close and will ask the Republican controlled state legislature to decide who won. It is understood, but not stated, that the legislature will then send all Republicans to the Electoral College if the election is close.
