Kinda relatable but you really need to get your priorities straight if Trump and Johnson are on top of your death penalty list. They absolutely are dicks but they're not anywhere near the biggest scum, not even among (former or current) leaders of a country.

Most of the so called leader are just figureheads anyway.

Trump absolutely is.

Trump is guilty of major crimes, but he didn't accomplish them by himself. He had a lot of people enabling him along the way, starting with many Republicans in Congress and in state legislature, as well as several individuals on the Supreme Court.

And right now, my biggest worry is that the Republicans will ditch Trump and put in someone who is every bit as evil, but a lot smarter and more sane.

With superpowers...you can kill those too.

why not kill everyone and invade poland

I was planning on skipping straight to invading Russia in midwinter.

You mean he Won't brag about lying in front of reporters?!

Trump is still not anywhere near the level of a, say, Putin, Kim or Xi.

Putin I'll grant you. With Kim or Xi, I'm not sure I agree. I think Trump's shittiness is more relatively consequential than Kim's or Xi's shittiness. If Kim were gone, he would be replaced by a general or something and North Korea would most likely still be a deeply authoritarian dictatorship. If Xi were gone, he would be replaced by another senior Chinese official who would most likely have very similar views and continue to enact basically similar policies. That's not the case with Trump; Trump is a distinctive, unique force on the American political scene who emboldens the far right by his very existence and who governs in a fundamentally different style with different outcomes compared to most of the people who could potentially replace him. Also, the president of America is fundamentally just more consequential than the Supreme Leader of North Korea.

Eh, same goes for Putin,really. And this is more about "evil things they did or caused", not the reality of political succession (I bet there would be an asshole that's similar to Trump just waiting to take his place, too). And just based on that, Trump isn't even in the same ballpark as the others.

the problem with "let's wack Trump" kind of is the fact that there's a million creeps around who are just like him but keep a much lower profile.

fucking this

thinking trump and johnson are the world's worst scum is pretty much the definition of first world problems

I wouldn't put Trump #1 on that list but I would put him on the list

They are the ones who are most affecting me. Let everyone else look to their own supervillainy, I can't be everywhere, but if it spites England (not the UK, specifically England) or the United States Right Wing as a sideeffect then I'll join their legion of doom.

If you actually think Putin or Xi or other ~~dictators~~ heads of state won't be affecting you, either short-term or in the long run I have bad news for you.

They are all on the other side of the world and not bothering me right now, so not my problem. The idiots in charge of oppressing the Western economies are the problem I care about right now.

Eh, as someone from Europe I can tell you that the western economies are absolutely oppressed by the others, and much more than by Trump or Johnson.

putin is a large part of why the western (particularly european) economies are currently a mess though

You realise there is no monolithic people known as the English, right? If you're defining this as people living within English borders then hoo boy, virtually everybody has mixed UK, European or further afield heritage. Basically, fuck your stupid strawman villainery.

"English" is a nationality

But not an ethnicity

i think they're saying "english" to try and exclude scotland (read the grauniad comment pages sometime, this is fairly common), because while british nationalism is bad and english nationalism is REALLY bad, scottish nationalism is apparently perfectly wonderful

(i don't like london either but i don't think secession is necessarily the solution)

Love all the "it's not the British Empire it's the English Empire" all over the Graun btl, conveniently forgetting the crowds of Scottish imperlialists evident from the most cursory study of real history
.

Yeah, fuck the northern Irish protestants,who cares about them,eh?
