Isn't poop just aborting your food?
No, that's vomiting. Poop is carrying your food to term.

Unless it's diarrhea.
I'm pro-choice about pooping, but my efforts are sometimes in vain.

Who else would you have run the government? The average voter? Have you met him lately? At least a corporation with tons of money to throw around at least has the achievement of being successful enough to throw around tons of money.

In a perfect world we would have a dictatorship. I think those are looked down enough now even though it was and will always be the simplest form of government.

I really hope that is a joke. The average voter wouldn't be so bad once you take out all the forces that manipulate and misled them.

Only if ducks have been oppressed and Donald is our way to make fun of ducks.

The problem is finding the dictator. For every Cincinnatus there are several Mussolinis.
