    Okay I’m a geek but sometimes I think ‘what would Superman think?’. And usually leads to a better outcome. Okay to be fair never done it myself, but I thought of it often when some democratic country made decisions and … What with the big S think? I would not want to be on the side of that ‘democratic’ country, and lets me understand their actions suck balls.

    Yes I know it’s fiction but when the best hero you can think of does the opposite of some country’s actions, what can you think of such country?

    Truth, justice, the American Way. Used to mean something, now that t means, I got mine have fun getting yours.

      See, that’s the secret. Truth and Justice were always a fairy story sold to keep the workers working, it’s always been about the rich and powerful getting theirs and fuckin’ keeping it that way, for the entire 250 years.

      It didn’t suddenly become what it is, it suddenly became a lot less subtle about it. Trump is a braggart above almost all else, he can’t help but prop up his fragile ego whenever the chance arises. Thus, what used to go unsaid is now, “Look what I did!, Look, please! Tell me how clever I am, please Mommy!”
