or was there a WORSE Roman emperor than Caligula ? Holy jesus pretty soon Trump is going to be publicly comparing his penis size to Morning Joe's. AND THEY THOUGHT PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS BAD, President Obama is a fucking saint compared to DJT!

I'm glad my son is an adult now. I feel bad for parents having to try to, um, explain Caligula's behavior. AND THEY THOUGHT CLINTON WAS BAD, jesus.

BullShit, so fitting for Caligula. I'm sure he's forgotten everything he was exposed to.

didn't do too badly in the tyrant department, but unlike Trump, he was highly intelligent.

King Henry VIII probably had more overall class than our Caligula. He makes the impeachment proceedings against Clinton look even MORE fraudulent than they already were.
