His Fraudulency’s dictatorship may be virtual, but our resulting pain will be tangibly genuine.
“His Fraudulency’. HA! Mind if I use that one? It’s perfect!
Sure! I saw it at Instapundit, but turns out, it was originally coined for Rutherford B. Hayes during the 1876 election debacle. Nice touch of irony to pin it back on the soon-to-be occupier since it came from the “bitter Democrat press.”
“Finally, just after 4 a.m. on March 2, 1877, the Senate president declared Hayes the president-elect of the United States. Hayes—dubbed “His Fraudulency” by a bitter Democratic press—would be publicly inaugurated just two days later.”

Bitter Democrat Press. I guess some things never change, do they?
Why change when it works so well? Good news is that means they are not likely to change now, which makes them predictable.
You have something there. Predictably bad. Such a waste of the miracle of our existence.
