Lawd, we really are F**KED.

[sheshe2]

All Hat No Cattle

The bottom three, from right to left. Moe, Larry, Curley.

[MoonRiver]

1. LOL

[sheshe2]

8. Thanks, MoonRiver.

[MoonRiver]

10. Welcome sheshe2!

Gotta laugh, otherwise I'd be screaming!

[sheshe2]

13. I know exactly what you mean.

[MoonRiver]

14. .....

[Ohiogal]

2. How have we sunk so low?

[sheshe2]

9. Yep.

[SoonerPride]

3. JFC

good lord.

[DonaldsRump]

4. wonderful comparative pic

But, with respect, I LOVE Moe, Larry, and most of all Curly (but not Shemp, Joe, or Curly Joe)!

[madaboutharry]

5. That is rather striking.

FWIW, The top three were all flawed men. This is especially true of Stalin, who was a genocidal murderer.

However, your point is well taken.

[LisaL]

26. Exactly. Stalin certainly wasn't any sort of role model.

NT

[Eyeball_Kid]

46. Stalin. 20 million killed. So stoic in repose. n/t

[spicysista]

6. Goodness!!!!

Yes, we are!

[doc03]

7. Well thank God Trump wears a shirt. nt

[magicarpet]

11. Undoubtedly trDumpie has better man boobs than Putie.

We got Russia beat on that count.

[sheshe2]

12. Lol.

If he did not.

[plimsoll]

49. I haven't eaten yet.

My appetite is gone, and I feel a bilious.

I need some steel wool for that mental image.

[kacekwl]

15. That really says

it all. Not only fascist dictators but also raving lunatics.

[doc03]

16. I think Putin is the stable genius of the

group. He may be a murdering thug but he is sane compared to the other two.

[Hekate]

35. I think so too. The old KGB guy has brains and is fearless; very formidable opponent...

Yet somehow Trump only wants to roll over and have his tummy rubbed in Putin’s presence.

[sir pball]

47. TBH he's an extremely capable, competent, and intelligent leader

Being a murderous, oligarchic autocrat hardly negates his skills and abilities, it just makes him far more dangerous than some maniacal tinpot buffoon like Duterte, Bolsonaro, or Trump.

[doc03]

17. I think Putin is the stable genius of the

group. He may be a murdering thug but he is sane compared to the other two. I bet he could beat Trump's ass with both arms tied behind his back being x KGB.

[Initech]

18. Nyuk nyuk!!!

[sheshe2]

20. Neyt, Neyt.

[MLAA]

19. 'Ho, scary and squirrelly

[mitch96]

21. Why do I see the bottom three as Moe Larry and Curly of the political set? nt

[sheshe2]

22. That is what I posted.

The bottom three, from right to left. Moe, Larry, Curley.

[mitch96]

25. oops, my bad... nt

[sheshe2]

27. It's okay.

[Initech]

23. I think I'd replace Putin with Bolsonaro and then you have the Stooges.

Putin is their ringmaster.

[mitch96]

24. I'd replace Putin with Bolsonaoo

If I remember correctly there were 4 of them.. Mo, Larry, Curly and Shemp..
Move the pieces around the board as you like...
m

[PatSeg]

28. Oh yes, that is truly disturbing

[TrollBuster9090]

29. The one on the right is basically still the same.

It's the other two that worry me. This CAN'T be what history is teaching us! That authoritarian thuggish governments are always viable; but after awhile DEMOCRACY deteriorates first into a clown show, and then into a plutocracy, and eventually an oligarchy?

Yeah...we're fucked alright...

[bringthePaine]

30. ha "bottom three"! spot on, although perhaps, however, "...from right to furthest right..."

[bucolic_frolic]

31. Get in their minds

Historian Nigel Hamilton's trilogy, FDR at War:

The Mantle of Command: FDR at War, 1941–1942

Commander in Chief: FDR's Battle with Churchill, 1943

War and Peace: FDR's Final Odyssey: D-Day to Yalta, 1943–1945

As archives have opened on many contemporary accounts, diaries, records, and historians have been able to synthesize the massive amount of material thanks to the digital age, the output is outstanding.

I've read several books on FDR by Delores Kearns Goodwin, Jean Edward Smith, Robert Dallek, and they all have their strong points. Smith links obscure information into new perspectives, and his Ike bio was great too. Dallek is inside FDR's political mind, and Hamilton presents a valid perspective on how FDR quarterbacked WWII by holding decisions to himself and guiding outcomes to his plan. I absolutely could not put these books down.

[rebe303]

32. Stalin

Also FDR was not Stalin's puppet

[llashram]

33. beautiful

yep, we're f****d

[sheshe2]

34. Thanks...

and yes.

[iluvtennis]

36. Moe, Larry, Curly...lol

[sheshe2]

37. WE must laugh.

Otherwise we will die.

Thanks.

[iluvtennis]

39. ++++ agree. nt

[sheshe2]

44. Hugs.

We are in this together, iluvtennis.

[marieo1]

38. Spot On

sheshe2, you amaze me..you are spot on again. I love it. How did such horrendous men get the positions they are in? I don't understand it. Scary!!!

[jcgoldie]

40. Don't be ridiculous.

Putin's definitely Moe.

[sheshe2]

43. That is what I said...

Right to left. Moe, Larry, Curly.

[jcgoldie]

45. Ahhh you got it then I just can't read.

[sheshe2]

48. Hugs, jsgoldie.

[Person of Interest]

41. You win the Internet for the day!! LoL!!! 😆

[Dan]

42. Only thought, Putin loves blondes

[UpInArms]

50. ...

[Nitram]

51. LOL!

[malthaussen]

52. How dare you insult the Three Stooges like that?

Beisides, going by hair, Mr Putin most resembles Joe, and BoJo Larry, and there is no one who can match Moe's mop.

-- Mal

[GoCubsGo]

53. To be fair, Russia has been fucked all along.

I dare say that Stalin was worse than Putin. At least, so far.

That's an insult to the Stooges, btw.

[IronLionZion]

54. Russia hasn't changed much

but probably has more influence on the other 2 now

[Tommy_Carcetti]

55. Actually we're very lucky we don't have to deal with Joseph Stalin in 2020.

Although Vlad likes to do a fine impersonation of him from time to time.

And Trump seems to mimic certain aspects of his personality.

[Wounded Bear]

56. K & R...for truth...

[captain queeg]

57. Great realization. Where would be now if these 3 stooges were in charge 80 years ago?

[Glorfindel]

58. Well, to be fair, two of the entities represented no longer exist

The British Empire is gone. So is the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. That makes it even worse that the sole remaining "superpower" chose a deranged monster as its leader. Also, Johnson is head of government but not chief of state, whereas Putin is chief of state but not head of government. *tRump, God help us all, is both.

Definitely, as you so wisely say, we ARE well and truly F***ED.
