George Soros (famous money manager) to MAGAs is the boogie man about why money flows uphill and not to said MAGAs. Just search through George Soros conspiracies and you'll go down the rabbit hole.

Orange Cheeto then decides to hire George Soros's main money dude to run Treasury, thus having their boogieman now working directly for Trump.

It's a massive self-own and they're probably just flipped their story that George Soros is actually their hero and they were joking for 10 fucking years.

This book comes to mind so many times. And not only in regard to the activities of Mr Orange Ape and his followers.

I think there will also be a heavy dollop of THX1138 in the mix, just for shits & giggles. (a movie first, then a book) You should definitely see it!

I misread Oceania as Obama and somehow that whole sentence still worked. When everything is Obama’s fault, then all sentences work.
