  • @danieldipalma704
    So strange to have a country's leader kiss the ass of a "monarch" to officially become prime minister even though he was basically elected by the people.

    This is honestly truly unnecessary. Everyone knows this speech is dishonest fantasy. You could've simply opted out of saying anything. You didn't have to say a word. People are so jaded they don't even have expectations. Nobody expects you to do anything. They are just hoping you don't fk it up to the point of no return and make it worse than it already is. Sad. So you can keep this little speech..
