  1. AZ LOVES VOTE FRAUD. HE WANTS INELIGIBLE VOTER’S, MULTIPLE VOTES, ETC. HE ALSO LOVES BIG LIES JUST LIKE A nAZi, SUCH AS EQUATING TRUMP TO HITLER. AZ IS KIND OF WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU MIX A COMMIE AND A NAZI.

  2. Is it hereditary? No? Then it isn’t. If having a few letters in common proved they were related, wouldn’t that prove that Az is at the very least close to being a nAZi? In reality, there are other reasons for that. Other than a few letters, how else does Az think mayoralty is like royalty? Would the entire executive branch be abolished under Az hypocritical opposites world “total separation of powers”? Some other reason eluding the imagination?

  3. France had monarchs in the 1300s like pretty much everywhere else in the world at that time. Did no cities anywhere have mayors before that? Are you sure? Seems like grasping at straws in search of a connection.

  4. I’ll find it hard to believe if no city anywhere had a mayor before the 1300s. It’s more likely that is just the origin of the word mayor in English. A similar office must have existed in at least some cities before that under a variety of different names. The fact that France had a king in the 1300s is rather unremarkable. England did too, so based on that standard, you would essentially have to discard your entire language and civilization, and go back to a time when humans had no kings. I don’t know off hand when that was. Perhaps we’d have to revert to a very primitive state indeed.

  5. Of course, as others pointed out, this knee slapper was from the same dude who thinks Trump is at least as bad as Hitler, so you have to look at it in that context.

  6. time delay for words/phrases to appear in dictionaries– esp before printing in 1440s.

  7. Is that supposed to be significant in some way, A”Trump=Hitler”Z?
