2) a Funkadelicary system

In a Parliament, Dr. Funkenstein summons the Mothership to defeat Sir Noze

Trump 2.0 Heralds an Aggressive Flexing of Power President Trump’s early moves to slash the federal government and expand American territory represent significant ideological swings from his first term.

It is fascism. Calling it "an aggressive flexing of power" fluffs the Führer. Call this what it is, Baker. It is fascism. #BrokenTimes

For some reason, none of the 2,000 word articles talking about Elon's power grab mention that he destroyed ~80% of Twitter's value.
