The fact that they successfully installed him aside, the fact that they've been able to keep him in there, holy shit batman.

Maybe I'm getting old, but I swear this story is actually from 2023 [AD] in the United States Senate. There were even pictures.It could be worse, at least he's no Elagabalus...
Roman Emperor from May 218 [AD] to March 222 [AD], died at age 18 [killed by his own Praetorians]. He was a pawn of his mother who was an empowered independent woman who used her son to rule.
He went around Rome wearing a dress and paid male prostitutes to openly sodomize him in the forum. He participated in acts of sodomy on the floor of the Roman senate house while compelling nobles and senators to watch the spectacle. He proclaimed himself a "goddess" and offered a massive gold reward for any Roman doctor who could graft female genitalia to him.
He insisted on being called "lady" and not "lord" and demanded the use of female pronouns for himself. He insisted on being referred to as the "mistress" and "queen" of a man he called his "husband." He was simultaneously married to at least several women and a man. He openly performed oral sex on Roman prostitutes while he himself was dressed as a woman.

Edward Gibbon, notably, wrote that Elagabalus "abandoned himself to the grossest pleasures with ungoverned fury".[8] According to Barthold Georg Niebuhr, "“the name of Elagabalus is branded in history above all others; [...] "Elagabus had nothing at all to make up for his vices, which are of such a kind that it is too disgusting even to allude to them."
His behavior so disgusted the Roman elite that there were plots and plans to get rid of him. He ordered the summary execution of certain Roman elites and Praetorian Guards, who then promptly assassinated him as well as his mother.
He was a degenerate and he was foolish enough to alienate his own bodyguards and then try to turn on his own bodyguards.
The backdrop to all of this, across the Empire, was that the wave of barbarian invasions began around 212 [AD] with uninterrupted raiding and pillaging and frequent penetration of Roman frontiers, along with neglected and decaying infrastructure.
If you ever find yourself thinking something is bad, look into history, something worse already happened.
It can always get a HELL of a lot worse.
And history always has a way of repeating itself.It could be worse, at least he's no Elagabalus...

They cheated during that one too. They are/were so out of touch they didn’t think that many people would vote for trump
Or was Trump the fail safe? Before everyone goes off, stop & think about all the missed opportunity's, let alone his sworn enemy's he allowed to remain at the head of many agency's. Not everything is as it first appears, once you start digging & asking questions.
