Man in purple: IT'D BE A LOT EASIER TO BLAME THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION IF YOU-KNOW-WHO WASN'T SITTING RIGHT HERE...
Caption: THE DOWNSIDE OF ABDICATION
The dictator hands his hand-picked successor two letters and tells him, “When you get into trouble, open the first envelope.”.Years later, the new dictator is facing an insurrection. He opens the first envelope: it reads, “Blame everything on me.” The dictator does so, with investigations and commissions and propaganda, and it’s a wild success..More years later, and the dictator is in trouble again. He opens the second envelope: it reads, “Prepare two letters.”
Poor Omnius…..just couldn’t make a connection between the ‘tea party’ and a goat in the Royal Throne room today. Let’s all have some popcorn while we wait..Maybe he’ll come up with something a little later.
Kings worry about a receding heir line.Kings sometimes found that uprisings were a peasant surprise.A pun can be made on any subject except a king who isn’t a subject.
@ pcolli: True. Instead we have a disastrous, disloyal, dysfunctional opposition that would rather watch the world burn than see anyone but them succeed at anything ever.

Your solicitor needs to explain to you-know-who the ful meaning and consequences of abdication. Staying around isNOT an option! Ask Richard II.

Blaming the prior administration only works for so long and then it begins to sound like the lame excuse… ‘it wasn’t my fault…’
When you point the finger remember that for the one finger you point at the accused, there are three pointing back at the accuser.

Back in the day didn’t kings use monasteries to get rid of annoying relatives without killing them?

Why does the carpet have a bump in it? It was obviously drawn that way intentionally but does it have a significance?
