Man, I come here to say me, but clearly first in best dressed so I'll concede to you

First is always better. Like all those YouTube comments that allude to earlier better times (we just didn’t know it).

I feel like that’s not how democracy works

If warcrimes without consequences and vetoing against peace resolutions to side with the invading/genocidal regime signs of a leader of the democratic world, then Russia seems to be next?

leader of the democratic world, my ass

Yeah. As with a lot of things, it makes a huge difference which aspect of the situation you're dealing with.

If the tiger is in your tent, facing out, safeguarding your peace and generally doing fair dealings with you, then you might come to see it as a good thing. Europe is talking about interacting with America from that point of view, and becoming shocked now that the tiger might be becoming dangerous.

If you're in the village where it goes at night to feed, then things look very different, and always have.

I nominate a toasted strawberry pop tart! It will do so many great things compared to president felon.
