Chess ♟️ origins

[@MyRealName148]

This guy I know plays a game where he pretends to do this important job that he doesn’t have the mental compactly to do. He claims we all voted him in but we know he stole it. The guy is a royal pain and he always cheats. He’s no fun to play with in fact he is ruining the game for everyone.

[@RaveYoda]

Sure losers are never fun especially when violently trying to claim they won when they didn't. Weirdly I know the same guy you speak of; but, he isn't the current one in the important job. It was the former guy and that guy even incited his underlings to be violent and raid important buildings related to the job and its periodic transition of holders of said job.

@@RaveYoda The real loser here is the guy who voted for a geriatric, child-sniffing dementia patient who is directly responsible for stifling the American oil industry and whose crackhead son is recently implicated in over 450 crimes. But sure, Orange Man Bad, says CNN, MSNBC, and other leftoid media since 2016.

[@RaveYoda]

@@RafaelBenedicto "...stifling the American oil industry..." You mean going green to save Florida from being under the ocean due to rising sea levels? M'kay.... Also, one would think people would be excited at the prospect of new avenues of money making but noooo. Gotta get that dino juice fix I guess. "...crackhead son is recently implicated in over 450 crimes..." Implicated by whom? Rupert Murdoch and his media company that likes to think itself news but actually doesn't pass muster for such a lofty label regardless of it's deceptive name?
