Election 2020 Chess Set
April 9, 2020 at 10:00 am
Have you seen them hawking this plastic piece of goatshit on TV?
If not - for only $39.95 they will send you this poorly crafted (probably Malaysia) ill thought out chess set... Donkeys and elephants for pawns. SC justices for bishops, Trump and Pence king and queen.... (I imagine Trump smirking at Pence and saying "That's right queenie - you're my lil bitch now."...)
And "As the Democratic candidates are unknown yet - two blank pedistals" - that I guess you buy later..
One problem - they already made Obama and Biden rooks...
Oops...
You suppose this qualifies you to get a refund?

Leaving the pedestals blank is probably more appropriate. Really captures the headless nature of resistance to american decline.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Funny how furriners get things wrong. I had to buy a hard hat when I was working at Cape Canaveral in '01 and went to the store to get some US flags to stick on it. They were on there a few days before I noticed that they had
48 stars.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Question: Does the Donkey side automatically win if it's just the queens left? Because I'm pretty sure Pence can't be in a room alone with a woman.

That made me laugh probably more than it should have.

Neither can Trump, but for different reasons.

Would have made more sense for a 2016 set, so you know what the pieces are.

Haven’t they been making the sets for a while? I seem to recall seeing adverts for them in years past.

Are you surprised? Even they're made in China.
When I was at the previous job, we weaved and sold high quality fabrics to sell to our military for uniforms.
We no longer exist because our uniforms are, yep, you guess it...
