Transcript:
Earl: Pop! The mob has returned to the palace! Duke: What? I didn't know it had left! Earl: The prime minister called for negotiations. Apparently, they've broken down. Duke: The prime minister? They idiot must have been freelancing. What was he thinking? Man: I would've betrayed them, sir! I swear it! President: Aww, did someone get caught on the wrong side of history?

Perhaps he’ll become acquainted with the pointy end of the sword. (Nice tie though, matches his wrist restraints.)

That dude must be even shorter than His Excellency.

What’s with Duke? Is he tired? Running on some sort of stimulant? Drunk? Lack of sleep?

Love the uniform…sash, epaulettes, medals, riding crop, and dagger that appears to be more than ceremonial. A fine example of a “modern Major-General”.

^^Most likely all of the above.

He got you out of an immediate mess didn’t he?

I think this is the first time that GT has shown Bmz directly from his own viewpoint, instead of from the viewpoint of the Dukes.
Now we have Bmz introducing us to other characters. From a storytelling perspective, I think GT should avoid this temptation in the future and stick to his own universe. Otherwise he’ll soon evolve into Lisa Benson’s Bizarro.

Mostly like Duke is in an” altered state”. Normal for these situations.

This will hurt the Prime Minister more than the President-For-Life. Count on it!

Didn’t Ceaucescu once hold the office of President-For-Life?

AKHenderson said, Didn’t [Nicolae] Ceausescu once hold the office of President-For-Life [of Romania]?
Sure did. Served out his term too.

AlAl, every president general for life needs to understand the retirement plan if they choose not to transition to democracy.

@spyderred….really? Are you serious? How do you know this site is full of spyware? I had no idea.
What kind of spyware? How can I avoid it?
Am I sounding paranoid? Sorry. It was just a real surprise to think of spyware on this site.

Why does Bmz…, ”President for Life” think he can succeed, where ”Mayor for Life”, Marion Barry failed?

caricature of 2021 trumpublicans, embracing rather than ‘cutting off the head of the seditious snake’. (apparently 7 GOP senators are still in possession of a spine & guiding moral compass)
