Commodore 64 have a game called DICTATOR where you play a american dictator in a banana republic, and when it ends (usa or russia invades, theres a revolution or other force takes power), you escape in a copter. Is kind of inspired by the idea that in the real world dictators always have a copter and trustee pilot to escape if people revolt. The end screen shows the score, that include how much money you have pillaged.
Look, if you are gonna run a tinpot dictatorship there is a handful of people you need to ensure are absolutely loyal to you.
A personal valet/ escape pilot is one of them.
Got that under control…

I dunno. “Barely competent” sounds rather generous.
Rep. John Conyers and Sen Bernie Sanders town hall, introduced by Rev. Wendell Anthony. The Sanders introduction at 39:00 is the best part and lasts about 9 minutes.
News from the (possible?) future - would this count as optimism, of a kind?
(It’s a sort of dream I have, that gives me hope.)
Sure, that’s optimistic. Not a thing about nuclear annihilation.
So, President Pence? Cause I’m wondering if that is a good thing. I mean, less of a chance of nuclear annihilation.
