Yippee ki yay…

I think you don’t have a good memory of Haiti .

I’m trying to remember which President’s avatar was a bomb. Reagan?

FYI for newer readers: GBT used to represent the President with a floating object (avatar), a consistent one for each President, symbolizing GBT’s idea of that President’s worst characteristic. For example, the Bushes (IIRC) were a waffle and a feather.

He discontinued the avatars, as well as serious lampooning of anything the President or his family said or did, with Obama. With Trump, he brought back the lampooning, but it seems he has too much fun drawing his caricature to use an avatar. (Plus, he’s already used a bomb with a short fuse.)

Since when did Duke ever find “redemption”? He’s the slime scum hires to do it’s dirty work.

He’ll fleece anyone he can.

With a little Lethal Weapon thrown in for comic relief.

Now there’s a movie idea. Bruce Willis making his way through the uninhabited areas of the White House trying to take out the bad guys without harming the good guys. Suspense, tension and stress increases until he finally realizes…CALLS HE HAS BEEN RECEIVING ARE COMING FROM THE INSIDE AND THERE ARE NO GOOD GUYS INSIDE!

So, a plane crashes into a tall building? ☺

Has it ever been revealed that Duke is in fact an orphan, or is that just part of the scam? Not that it matters — to contrast, even if he is an orphan, he wouldn’t hesitate to claim that he’d grown up in a loving extended family if that was a component of getting what he wanted - I’m just curious. :)

The best part is, he doesn’t feel the least bit sheepish while saying this!

How can you be a former orphan?

Duke will be sure to not mention that he would be the terrorist in those two movies.
