The Earth has tilted 31.5 inches and its all a result of human activity.

The way the planet rotates has been fundamentally changed by the process of pumping groundwater, and it is having a far bigger impact than previously imagined.

As a result, sea levels have risen .24 inches in less than two decades and the Earth has tilted 31.5 inches.

Wild to think Killface would have been a better President than Trump...

Xander's actually the Trump correlary, I think it'd honestly be pretty similar to reality in that case.

I thought the whole thing was that Xander and Killface were a lot more alike than either of them wanted to admit?

I thought that's why there was a whole arc where they're stuck together and "friends" when Killface thinks Xander is "Barnaby Jones."

They're both narcissists who think they're better than everyone else while constantly fucking up everything they do in their lives, and Killface for being highly educated and booksmart, seems to know fuck-all about how tons of shit in the world works at a base level.

Xander: narcissistic idiot who is actually a villain. check.

Killface: narcissistic idiot who is actually a villain. check.

Yeah, they were both terrible candidates, I really just meant that Killface ran as a progressive. We all know Baby Lamont would have been the one pulling the strings, if he hadn't tragically died while being smashed across Xander's face in the Haggar Pants Arena.
