    It’s funny (or ‘funny’ if you prefer) that US Republicans are monarchists instead of republicans.

      Remember when they were complaining that Obama was acting like a king? It turns out they like kings after all.

      Maybe they’re just looking for certain… Characteristics… in a King.

        I’m guessing “The Blueprint: Obama’s Plan to Subvert the Constitution and Build an Imperial Presidency” was actually more projection than it was a condemnation of actual policies.

          Huh don’t recall this. Was it a big deal at the time?

          Also from Amazon description:

          Courts: The authors have insider knowledge of how Obama will pack the Supreme Court and lower courts with activist judges who will overstep their constitutional authority.

          Lol.

            Yeah, every accusation is a confession. I’m sure the GOP playbook for years has been: accuse the Left of doing X; do X yourself but in the name of trying to “level the playing field”.

      It’s what they call themselves, that’s it. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is also none of those things.

      There’s a reason why they keep saying that recently, they don’t want democracy. They want to backflip themselves into selecting how leaders are chosen and who gets to choose.
