A monarchy where succession is decided by trial-by-combat though?
Is it any worse than the American political system really?
That’s like saying AIDS is not as bad as Cancer.
Fair enough
I'd love to see the cheeto do a trial by combat, that would be outright funny

When Vance becomes eligible for 2 year plus 2 full terms
There is a world, not this one, but somewhere, where the President of the United States is challenged to a trial by combat by the King of Denmark over ownership of Greenland
The king of Denmark is a former frogman (i.e. Danish Navy Seal). I would love to see that fight.
Look if there was a way I could sovcit my way to a golden fringe slap fight I'd take it all the way to the top of the conspiracy (lose a slap fight against the president? That's a hell of a story). Something tells me it's more complicated.
I know this dude who lost a slap fight against a toad. He was lynched for treason and running round with other dudes wives and daughters. Imagine how far I could go if I lost a slap fight against a president.
remember rudy guiluini said there should be trial by combat.
You're not wrong but a monarchy isn't strictly speaking the same as facism so I guess it's technically plausible
cons had problems with the 13th and 15 doctor, because of the gender, and ncuti , also surrounding several episodes "Gender issues"

Ummm Peter Quill went fasch.
peter quill is a fictional character and i havent seen a guardians movie where he went fasch. is there a comic where that happened?
Think they're referring to the actor Chris Pratt and comments he has made in the recent past.
Peter quill's actor.
right, a character being portrayed by a dick. but that doesn't necessarily make the character themselves a dick.
