    Can we talk about how “I am the new president of Romania” in itself is an absolutely stupid phrasing to use when prematurely declaring yourself the winner of an election?

      Well he’s a Chad!

      Seriously, I totally agree. It’s dumb, and would have caused more legal problems had he won.

      These people are like little belligerent kids that just can’t help themselves not to do exactly the thing adults just said is not OK to do.

      Notice how it’s in English as well. That wasn’t meant for the people of Romania, that was aimed at the rest of the EU, presumably as a sort of vague threat.

      If there is a single common thread that ties together the modern hard right upsurge is that it is absolutely fueled by the most transparent of idiocies that by convention we are expected to accept as everyday business

      The low hanging fruit is the guy 1. Didn’t actually win the election 2. And he declared himself president of the wrong country

      The right wing are such liars that grammatical mistakes are the least of their problems
