So, as if current/today's flurry of dictators on the hoof isn't enough, we've been treated with fond looks back at the "twentieth anniversary of our Iraq invasion" featuring videos of Shrub barely able to read with a smirk, "AT MY DIRECTION..." - plus how things are just dandy in Iraq, market places buzzing, plans for an "American university" in Saddam's old digs with his initials still on the ceiling. Oh, but instead of the Saddam statue that had to be bent over by the Americans when the locals couldn't budge it, a mural of an Iranian terrorist since Iran is basically running the place.
Who can topple Drumpf as we wait for the misdemeanor charge?

. Use of political decoys
Though claims that Putin uses a body double have increased since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began last February, they're not new, nor are they limited to the Russian leader.
Last month, Newsweek reported on rumors that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy used a double himself while meeting with United States President Joe Biden during Biden's visit to Ukraine. Biden has also been accused by conspiracy theorists of using a body double when he received the COVID-19 vaccination, according to PolitiFact.
International political figures including Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler, Queen Elizabeth, and Melania Trump have also been said to have used decoys during their time in leadership, the Indian news outlet Wio News reported.
Footage filmed in 2017 of North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un appeared to show the dictator talking with two identically-dressed doppelgangers, The New York Post reported, which escalated existing rumors that he was dying or already dead. .
