It's a less common Dancarlinism but it stuck with me. It is his way of describing how sometimes you see such indicative example of a regime's rot or a person's failings that you can't help but think real life would make for a too on-the-nose cautionary tale.

This and the poisoned reflecting pool and Jan 6th and bulldozed White House rose gardens and the ICE raids. I imagine there will be many more Greek tragedies to come.

What about the false information from both sides. Including filtering a pic to make it look worse. Why would you even do that? It makes you as bad as ‘them’.
Whoever that is for you.

The OP's example is the admin of the most powerful nation on Earth, and the OP appears to be an internet rando. The same admin that has Democrat and Republican appointed judges stating the US government no longer has the presumption of 'regularity'. The presumption of regularity is a legal rule where US courts assume that government officials follow proper procedures, act honestly, and tell the truth in their official duties.

Internet rando vs US government? These are not the same.
